[videoblogging] Re: Copyright and fair use...
That's not fair use, that is a remix, so I would say you are screwed. Fair use is generally when you use a clip or part of something to inform or use for teaching or to state an opinion (that get's cloudy) but taking a video and just adding yourself and making responses to the video, that's just a remix and I would say you would have to take it down...but contact someone to be sure..

A remix can be fair use (Dara Birnbaum's work starting in the late 70s is just one example. here is one of her pieces and more are under related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jwkf-sQTWAfeature=related ) the sites I included have good explanations of fair use. -- Steve Rhodes http://flickr.com/photos/ari/ photos http://ari.typepad.com http://tigerbeat.vox.com blogs http://del.icio.us/tigerbeat interesting articles sites http://twitter.com/tigerbeat
Re: [videoblogging] best format to upload to youtube
thanks all for your responses. A great help On 12/20/07, Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If your clip is very short you could try a strategy someone on Ken Stone's site uses - compress to photojpeg at as high a quality as you can while staying within the 100MB limit. Since photo jpeg doesn't compress temporally, you only end up going one pass through a temporal codec (whatever flavor of flash you tube is using). But this only works for a VERY short clip. Cutting your frame rate down to 15 should help too. I notice there's now an option to upload pretty gigantic files to You Tube using a program they offer for download, but it only runs on windows. WIth that option you could theoretically do photo jpeg or dv for longer clips. My best results so far on longer clips have been with h.264 even though You Tube claims they don't support it. Occasionally they'll reject an h.264 - it looks like these are usually close to but still under the 100MB limit, but I don't have enough data to know for sure that's the trigger. But it ends up in a low quality flash encode no matter what, so anything with detail and motion is just going to look like crap on YT. On the iphone, though, SOME of it looks pretty good - probaby because those particular clips are h.264 from a relatively high quality original upload.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Copyright and fair use...
Unfortunately only a judge or jury ultimately gets to decide what's fair use, which means the person without the in house legal team is at the mercy of the person with legal resources regardless of who's right and who's wrong. Follow Steve's links above for the nitty gritty. This seems like an open and shut case of fair use to me, but I'm on the wayyy media hacky lefto archist side of that issue so my interpretation isn't what would necessarily hold up in court. In my world, unless someone's pirating (making money off of a copy of something as if you are the producer / selling something as if its the real thing when its not) or non-satirically making it look like you endorse something when you don't (which is libel so doesn't even fall under this umbrella anyway), the use should not only be protected, but get a little Upholder of Free Speech gold star. The Fair Use exception can be interpreted to be pretty close to that (minus the gold star of course) - unfortunately, it can be interpreted in the reverse direction too, depending on which of the evaluative factors listed in the law is weighted more heavily by those making the judgment. The DMCA muddies the waters further. Brook ___ Brook Hinton film/video/audio art www.brookhinton.com studio vlog/blog: www.brookhinton.com/temporalab

[videoblogging] Re: Copyright and fair use...
Thank you Jay. It's great to have someone affirm your right to exist. I contacted the Fair Use Project and I read the documents at the Center for Social Media (Thank you Steve Rhodes!). I'm pretty sure my video is within the bounds. Of course it's still messy. Did I use too much of their original video? I used the entire thing. But I would argue that it was necessary to make my point. I wanted to make fun of her conversational style. She talks like she's having a conversation with someone who isn't there. I used her pauses to show how this imaginary conversation might proceed. It was necessary for me to not break the time line of the original video because my intention was to be the other half of her imaginary conversation. I would also argue that a single video in her case does not represent a complete work. She has posted a series of videos that are identical in style and tone. They are numbered. The video I commented was 6 Now is A Good Moment, Suffering is in the Mind, Monkey Mind. I only used lesson #6 in a 21 part series. Clearly anyone who is interested in her spiritual message will not be satisfied with my video. They will seek out the originals, which are readily available because I have linked to them. I am not trying to be a replacement. Which brings up another point, my video was posted as a video response. I re-read their original message (from July 14th) after I posted my response. We aren't going to authorize it to be posted to our own video in connection, though, just to let you know, but we are happy to let you use our vid in your own profile stuff even though it is copyrighted. I'm glad your friends are enjoying it too, so carry on, oh silly one that you are! Geez, sort of sounds like they granted me the use of their copyrighted material.

Here is what she said on July 14th: We aren't going to authorize it to be posted to our own video in connection, though, just to let you know, but we are happy to let you use our vid in your own profile stuff even though it is copyrighted. She now says it has been revoked. This is where the weirdness starts to come out. The person who I have been speaking with is not the woman in the video. She is a woman named Jenny who maintains Christine's YouTube account. She claims in the first message she sent me, she did not have the right to grant the copyright. She is just a worker within the Metaphysical Science University. She made a mistake. But it's a pretty big mistake. I mean, how am I suppose to know when I receive a message from someone's YouTube account that I am not speaking with the owner of the videos? I know when you grant a Creative Commons license you can't revoke it if you don't like the resulting uses of your work which are in accordance with the license. Seems like a similar thing should apply in this case.

Somehow they were able to keep it up on their site: http://www.channel101.com/shows/show.php?show_id=121 The first Channel 101 series ever to go three consecutive months at #1, House of Cosbys was one of those rare 101 breakouts that went on to satisfy the world. In the show, the real Bill Cosby never came along and destroyed his own clones, but in real life, creator Justin Roiland and channel101.com site administrator Dan Harmon received cease and desist orders from Cosby's attorney in June 2005. The legal questions ground HOC's intensive animation process to a halt and House of Cosbys became Channel 101's first show to be killed not by the audience or by its own creator, but by lawyers. An unofficial fifth episode was created for the live screening by Romano and Falconer but is not served by channel101.com for genuine legal concerns. However, due to outcry and outrage, Channel 101 will continue to carry the first four episodes for your enjoyment.

Re: [videoblogging] Copyright and fair use...
John it is fair use do not worry google lawgeek and read his post on lane hartwell I did it for you: http://lawgeek.typepad.com/lawgeek/2007/12/copyright-fair.html Its a good post. Jason points out that the real issue isnt what law is being broken, but what are the *ethics* that we want to see online. Ethics, on the other hand, might just be the right hammer for this nail. Ethical behavior is behavior that leads to the greater good. It goes beyond the mere moral choices of right or wrong and deals with the broader question of the correct choice for society as a whole. If we, as an online society, want people like Lane to succeed in their work, to be successful and profitable photographers, we need to take care to promote them in a way that feels respectful and supportive. We need to make sure they succeed so that they will continue to provide us with amazing photos and make them available online. Equally, if we want people like TRS to be able to make funny videos about the Bubble quickly and easily so everyone online can enjoy them, we must take care to allow creative uses of material without imposing draconian requirements before publication. So what is the right ethical balance? Well, I'm no Internet ethicist, of course, so I can 't really say what the proper ethical outcome should be for this or other similar situations. However, for me, the idea of attribution and promotion have strong appeal. They respect who the artist is and try to help them thrive in their work. I also think ethical online users should consider tithing any financial gain from the use of other people's works back to the original creator -- in essence voluntarily offer to post-date royalties if the project amounts to anything profitable. Such steps would, IMO, go a long way to building a stronger online creative community rather than tearing it down or apart. John is having fun with that woman's work and giving her proper linkback. he's playing with another member of a video community and not financially profiting off it. he even contacted them about using their work. I think about how the Simpsons recently parodied the guy who took pictures of himself everyday: http://preash.blogspot.com/2007/12/tv-simpsons-parody-picture-for-day.html I think it's totally parody, but what sucks is they didnt talk to the person who made the music, or give any credit at the end of the show. it's more about their ethics in reusing work than about whether they broke copyright or not. I bet if they called the web creators had said, hey, we're going to have some fun with your work and give you a big fat credit at the end of the show then everyone would have been happy. By the way, that Simpsons clip got taken off of Youtube, not because the web creators complained, but because Fox didnt want the Simpson clip on Youtube. *http://tinyurl.com/2ah2eg *that's funny. oh, the irony.

First of all most of my movies I've ripped to a harddrive and are compressed so if I want to - I can burnt it to CD for backup. Yeah good luck getting the audio to play out over Apple TV - not to mention even if you did - as far as I know at this point - while the hardware DOES support 5.1 dolby - they haven't unlocked that feature yet - so glorious stereo it is. And yeah, I couldn't agree more - IPods are the market for them - and like the article says they're losing ground fast to video on demand service from Playstation - XBox - Netflicks - etc. It's a simple enough device - I still think it's sort of cool - but it isn't evolving. And I definitely don't need another hunk of electronics sitting around that 'did something cool 2 years ago' but now is sort of useless to me.

[videoblogging] Wordpress Issue - Please Assist
Ok so I'm doing my first - host on your own - Wordpress blog. I used to do a lot of HTML and JAVA and early FLASH back in the early to mid nineties but gave up web coding when I become an English major and thought I had better things to write than scripts and webpages. So here's the deal... I've exported my old wordpress hosted site - and brought it back into my new shiny dreamhost hosted site. There's just one problem. All of my [audio...mp3] and [bliptv...=1] tags (truncated for examples sake) aren't working. Feel free to take a look. The top post is a perfect example. Now I'm just now picking up on plugins and whatnot - and yes I tried turning visual design off, and turning it back on...so I don't know what hte problem is. If anyone has a clue it would be greatly appreciated. Love the forum - love the daily links and discussion - glad to be a part of and grateful for your help in advance. Cheers, Scott Stead CNN Broadcast Engineer by day - Bloggie/TechGeek/Thinky/SocialMediaNut by night.

Re: [videoblogging] iPod touch and vlog watching
Here's another thing that the iPod touch doesn't do. You won't allow you to watch The Gerry T Show on the iPod touch, because it ONLY support videos formatted in Quicktime and it doesn't support videos formatted in Flash. Now that really SUCKS!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Apple TV dead?
this is sort of a refrain for me this time of year, but wait until macworld It may be they will introduce a new model then. And they don't have a ton of inventory, so they're not promoting it. Though it would have made sense to introduce a new model before xmas On the other hand, jobs has said it is an experiment Anyway, we may soon see -- Steve Rhodes http://flickr.com/photos/ari/ photos http://ari.typepad.com http://tigerbeat.vox.com blogs http://del.icio.us/tigerbeat interesting articles sites http://twitter.com/tigerbeat
Re: [videoblogging] Re: Apple TV dead?
Had it not required me to buy some gawdawful widescreen LCD TV I can't afford and have it sit there all ugly and shiny on my wall I would have considered buying an Apple TV. I like the concept. But my 25 year old 4:3 TV hidden away in a cabinet looks better, even w/the low res of letterboxing, then any widescreen TV I could ever afford. I like the concept of Appletv Not having it work with Ye Olde Tv Set may have been a big mistake.

[videoblogging] Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??
I just saw this chart - makes me think the path to the TV will not be through the Apple TV, but rather through the Wii (or PS3 or XBox360): http://www.vgchartz.com Has anyone experimented with online video on the Nintendo Wii? Looks like i will have a Wii in a few days. :) Building a Wii interface for Mefeedia may be a pet project over the holidays. Anyone else have one and watch online video?

[videoblogging] Re: Forget Apple TV - What about the Nintendo Wii ??
you can but mainly only Youtube right now, because the Wii is using Flash 7 I think?but I did find a way on Cnet to do something pretty neat with the Wii, a media stream device, download Orb and then use the Wii to watch videos or listen to music, I have yet to try it out but plan to soon, so I will let you know..

Re: [videoblogging] iPod touch and vlog watching
Where can someone go on the web to learn how to convert an existing WMV video file to Quicktime iPod?? Thanks!

All apple products only play QT videos. thats why so many videobloggers post multiple formats depending on how I person wants to watch them. http://ryanishungry.com Quicktime for our big, nice version. Flash for people who cant/dont download QT. Mainly people who use a PC. iPod for people wanting to watch it on the iPod or iPhone. Ogg as a nod to the FOSS community who are trying to push an open codec.
