Re: [videoblogging] Various types of permission forms

[Randolfe Wicker]

Actually a lot of vloggers use music they don't have a license for in their vlogs.  The fact is that no one bothers "suing them" because their using the music has virtually no real impact.   Yes, vlogging could be considered to be one step up from home movies.  With vlogging you can share what might otherwise be home movies with friends, even the whole world if the whole world was interested enough to drop by and watch them.   Technically, you might be right insofar as "legalities" are concerned.  However, like those labels that they used to have on cigarette packages which said it was illegal "not" to break them, a lot of laws are really ignored.   I have posted a new thread with links to a series of great articles on copyright that are quite informative. Actually, here it is.   http://www.dvinfo.net/articles/business/copyrightfaq1.php ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephanie Bryant To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 1:36 AM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Various types of permission forms On 9/4/05, Randolfe Wicker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The nice thing about vlogging is you get to bypass all of this. Randolfe, exactly what makes you say so? I mean, it's not like you can claim you're not "publishing" the footage. Just because it's not for profit doesn't mean all those sites and persons being interviewed have given permission to post it to the Internet-- or even to shoot the footage in the first place. I'm just trying to figure out what makes you think "it's okay if it's for a vlog"? Is that like "it's okay if I use this music only in my website"? Or "it's okay for me to download this feature film with bittorrent-- I'm only watching it at home." --Stephanie -- Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vlog: http://mortaine.blogspot.com Audioblog: http://bookramble.blogspot.com SPONSORED LINKS Rss reader Fireant Internet directory Individual Free rss reader YAHOO!
