Music Piracy Pirates back in the 1800’s were known to sail the high seas, plunder ships, steal cargo, the list goes on. Pirates today are still around but they take a different form, they take the form of someone going on the internet and downloading a torrent of that catchy new song they heard on the radio or downloading an entire album from some no name artist that doesn’t have their album on Spotify yet. These pirates aren’t your traditional, pirates they’re music pirates. Music piracy hurts…

Orbison’s song “Oh, Pretty Woman.” The district court granted that 2 Live Crew’s song was a parody and therefore under fair use with the original song. The Court of Appeals reversed, stating that the commercial nature of the parody made it unfair. The case was argued in 1993 and in 1994 the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously decided in favor of Campbell, stating that not all of the elements of fair use were weighed. They found that the Court of Appeals had erred in “applying the presumption of that…

OTHER SECTION It is clear that Gaye’s composition on paper is protected, but it is also clear that the style Gaye’s composition reflects is an idea that is not protected, pursuant to section 102 (b). Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) (2012). The question then becomes, whether Appellants attempted to reflect the style of Gaye’s piece, or whether they attempted to build on an already completed composition to create a derivative song that paralleled the original, pursuant to section 103.…

This is the first big lawsuit filed between two creators in YouTube history. H3h3productions, a YouTube channel created and run by husband-and-wife duo Ethan and Hila Klein, showcases the…

I think the video, A Fair(y) Use Tale, is fair use and that Eric Faden is not infringing anything from Disney. The videos purpose was to teach others about fair use, using disney clips, and in the law of fair use it states that you can use it for criticism, parody, news reporting, and teaching. Which this video is following for education purposes. Although he is using clips from different disney movies and such, the clips are not too long to be considered copyright infringement. And he didn't…

Aslong as you put your own work into your video that should have something unique/ the song shouldnt be the essence of your video, as far as im concerned. Nevertheless big music companies will often try to get your video down even if your using it fairly. The system is rigged. walked through the halls of CTU New York. This man held a…

I. Newsflash’s use of Schwarzenegger’s image and likeness will be protected under the fair use provision in California’s Right of Publicity because it does pass the transformative test for works of comment and criticism, but not under works of artistic expression. The main legislation pertinent to this case is the California Civil Code § 3344 (a) and (d), which states: (a) Any person who knowingly uses another’s name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness, in any manner, on or in products,…

In the fair use trial, Disney is competing with professor Faden over his “A Fair(y) use Tale” Movie. In this movie Professor Faden uses little pieces of Disney's work to create a film about fair use. We should use the four factors of fair use to find the answer to our problem. The first factor of fair use is the purpose and character of the use. I think this is done correctly. He stated that “the purpose of this work is to entertain people, and educate viewers about fair use principles”.When I…
