[videoblogging] Fair Use principles

2007-11-09 Thread Jay dedman 
Enric sent me this great link:
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/fair-use-principles-ugc

Here's hoping that these proposals lead to real progress in striking
a balance between the interests of UGC creators, media companies, and
video hosting services.

Its a document that the EFF has prepared to explain how Fair Use
should be dealt with in online video.

The Fair Use Principles document describes a set of concrete steps
that service providers and content owners can and should take to
protect the remix culture that has been a foundation for sites like
YouTube. A critical component of the Principles is a detailed
description of a three strikes threshold before materials are
automatically blocked. In addition, the document includes a humans
trump machines rule, which is to say that users must be afforded the
opportunity to dispute and override the conclusions of automated
identification or filtering mechanisms.

This is a fantastic. And I'm so glad the test suite videos chosen
are right on the edge instead of obvious examples.

I feel a little less paranoid about my Raymond stuff knowing the EFF
is on the same wavelength.

TED has posted the well-known presentation by Lessig (founder of CC)
on how current laws are strangling creativity:
