Hi Andrew, I wouldn't assume gumby is public domain because you think someone else is treating it that way. I don't think gumby is. Especially after the MickeyMouse extension of copyright Legally, someone else's infringing doesn't help excuse yours. Of course practically, there's always the business analysis: how likely is the IP holder to find out about my use? how likely are they to come after me? Do I have anything to lose? I'm a newish vlogger and new to the list. I plan to go to vloggercon and live in SF. I can put up a person or two. Oh, and truth drove me from law school to comedy heather andrew wrote I assume the particular Gumby video http://tinyurl.com/jruf7 is public domain because Michael Eisner is featuring it, along with a couple of complete Superman videos that I have seen tagged as public domain on the Archive before. Since I am then allowed to use the public domain video of Gumby to create or recreate my own work, or version, wouldn't that mean that I may also freely refashion Gumby for a contemporary world? heather gold blog: subvert.com/blog cel. 415.717.1309 AIM: scoobyfox skype. heddagold featured videoblog/spokesperson: dabble.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++
