How about the rebroadcasting of video? I see this time and time again online where someone has captured something off the television, or downloaded it from somewhere and then slapped it up on their website.
Case and point, http://www.palazzojay.blogspot.com/ The reason I am using this site as an example (there are tons of sites similar to this one out there) is that these rebroadcasted videos are all over Blip this morning. Now, the person that has that website really isnt breaking a copyright law. Correct? Blip are the ones that are actually hosting those videos. I assume that they must accept full responsibility should a Saturday Night Live lawyer come look around. Something tells me that SNL doesnt use a Creative Commons license with regards to their old shows. Of course, that could open a huge can of worms when it comes to people using copyright music within their videos. Many people do it. I myself have been guilty of using music I didnt own in a video. Blatant rebroadcasting of a television program is another thing though. Am I way off base here and is there some clause in a Blip agreement/contract that releases them of all copyright infringments?
