I'm not a YouTube person so finding a video without any help other than critiquing the copyright was hard. But here we are, watching a short clip from Disney's Tangled.
I wish I knew more about YouTube from a copyright standpoint. We talked a lot about other websites but nothing about YouTube. People can post just about anything on here and there is nothing about where the song is from or anything. Where does this fall?
This is first of all, a hilarious video.This song is classic but at the end of the video there is nothing cited. Even if this person own's this song to upload it to youtube does it still need to be quoted? This video footage is also clearly not from a personal camera but most likely from ESPN. This video needs to cite this as well and fails to do so.
>This second video was found on teachertube.com. If a teacher were to show this in class it would probably be okay. It's very funny but also educational. It shows funny mistakes about math and could help a class feel at ease about upcoming math learning. It is probably also not the entire show. The teacher should however, let the students know where they got the video clip and hopefully the teacher owns the movie and is just showing a part of it. Otherwise, if it was found here it would need to be creative commons.
Good job finding videos to critique! To answer your question about youtube, the videos uploaded to youtube are supposed to follow copyright law just as you learned about it in the tutorials. It's difficult for youtube to keep up with monitoring the videos, and so a lot of stuff leaks through the cracks, and you get illegally posted videos with songs that the video uploader does not own the rights to, and video footage that the uploader does not own the right to as well.
ReplyDeleteGood job analysing the situations. You know what to look for: you seem to have a sense of needing to cite things, and needing to own the rights to things before sharing it, keeping in mind fair use.
