 This just isn't true. There are many times when you can use material
 that is owned by others without their permission. I can do a story
 about Home Depot, for example, use their logo, film in front of their
 store and talk all about them without their permission.

Nikidigital was talking about copyright. Logos are usuallly not covered by  
copyrights (they're not Works), and Home Depot certainly don't have  
copyrights covering their storefronts. What you're talking about is not  
copyrights!

 It's called FAIR USE, and there are many many times people can use
 footage created or owned by others, images and trademarks and public
 appearances and such.

No, Fair Use related to using copyrighted works.

When you buy a cd you buy a copy of the music for personal use. What you  
can and cannot do is governed by copyright law. Broadcasting the music to  
the world is not one of the things you can do. This is why I keep  
repeating my mantra: Educate yourself. Buy a book or borrow one at the  
library. Learn the law.

Yes,
  in my rant I was being completely U.S.-centric without acknowledging 
it... (very american). I apologize.

Thanks for letting us know about copyright law are Australia. Anyone 
else?? Other places??

This does bring up interesting points -- the internet is global, so how 
does the law or practices of individual countries come into play? Since 
the corporate conglomerate has become more powerful than any country 
and more rights-laden than any individual, and passes right over 
borders as if they aren't there -- how does this reality affect what we 
as artists do or don't do? Does U.S. copyright law cover the globe in a 
way, since most global corporations are run by U.S. owners (with an 
off-shore address to evade taxes of course)?

The professional independent U.S. filmmaker community is obsessed with 
copyright law in just the U.S., but it really is a globe question. Is 
the global videoblogging community the group to help figure a lot of 
this out / help create a climate of openness, a culture of taking all 
opportunities, and a habit of pushing the envelope instead of recoiling 
in fear??

[videoblogging] Re: legal rights of copyrighted material

2006-01-19 Thread David Howell

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?

Depends on what sort of blogging tool.  If you use a system that can

Otherwise, you could just do a simple what vlog is your favorite?

[videoblogging] experience with DIY steadicams?

2006-01-19 Thread Andy Carvin

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking about building my own camera stabilizer - a poor 
man's steadicam, so to speak - and I was wondering if anyone has tried 
it. I've found a few websites with instructions (or selling 
instructions), with varying levels of cost and complexity. Two of the 
more interesting ones are below.

The $14 Steadycam
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/

The $14 Steadycam is very bare-bones, but the demo footage on the 
website is pretty good. The author of the page provides free 
instructions, and he'll even sell you a kit with all of the parts for 
$39 plus shipping. Here are two demos of it in action:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/soccer2.mov
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/steadycam/girl3.mov

The instructions and kit look very straightforward, but one practical 
concern I have is the use of standard plumbing supplies, including pipes 
and pipe heads. These parts give it somewhat of a T-shaped pipe-bomb 
look, which could be a major headache if you plan to travel with your 
steadicam on an airplane.

Here's the other one:

Hocast Stabilizers
http://www.hocast.com/

Hocast seems more sophisticated, but more costly. They have three 
different models, ranging from a low-budget rig requiring $15 worth of 
supplies + $13 for the instructions, to a heavy-duty rig requiring $90 
of supplies +$22 for the instructions. Their video demos include 
before/after footage showing how a shot improves by adding the stabilizer:

http://www.hocast.com/Video/run.mov
http://www.hocast.com/Video/stairs.mov

(The clips are _very_ brief, though; frankly, I thought the $14 footage 
was better.)

I've found a few other offers online, but these two are the most 
intriguing. Has anyone tried building their own steadicam from these 
sites or others? Have you been happy with the results?

thanks,
andy

Re: [videoblogging] experience with DIY steadicams?

2006-01-19 Thread Adam Quirk

I made the $14 one last spring, but I didn't build it right because I didn't have a vice at the time. It worked for a while, but the holes I drilled were off-center in the pipe caps, so it was off-balance and I eventually retired it and used the steel for other things.
I recommend it though, and if I ever have the need for one I'll definitely just buy a vice and make it again.I would recommend getting some handlebar grip tape, or even padded tennis racquet grip tape and applying it where you'll be touching the metal, because after a couple hours holding raw steel your hands start to hurt.
I built the longer configuration by the way, the one where you invert the attachment plate and so you can hold the camera close to the ground. I shot some cool footage of me running down the street with the camera 3 inches off the ground, but I don't know what happened to it.

[videoblogging] Re: Sponsorships?

--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Eric Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 
 Take your ROI and CPM and chuck that out the window. We're living in
a world where that 
 starts to mean diddly squat. 
 
 I'll set a price, set the expectations, and the sponsor cay say yea
or nay...

Return on investment (ROI) will always have meaning, and cost per
thousand (CPM) is a benchmark to quantify the value of a
ad/sponsorship.  Setting a price without a quantitative justification
will not be accepted very well.  I can say I want $1000 per movie, but
how did I come to that number and what happens if traffic goes up or
down?  At what relative rate does the cost change?  CPM is a standard
pricing structure for advertising and most sponsors will be familar
with it.

As for the take it or leave it approach, that simply will not work.
 Sure I'd love to say you better recognize to a sponsor, but where
would that get me?  We need funding to continue to grow.  I can't
afford to shut doors in people's faces.

 Keep in mind in all this sponsorship talk, it doesn't have to be
some big-ol-honkin' 
 conglomerate... Go get free schwag from a local skate/surf shop or
something. Indie 
 people can advertise in indie media and it's still a little bit punk
rock.

I work in the industry and already get free schwag.  More importantly,
clothing and equiptment doesn't pay for hosting.

Maybe I have my head up my ass, but vlog watchers should be valueable
to sponsors (especially if they represent a niche market of mostly
young males).  Personally, I'd love to get local sponsorship to the
places we travel.  Then their business can be integrated into the
video somehow rather than the classic sponsored by logo at the
beginning and end. It would be even better to add an inteview w/ a biz
rep if they are in the industry.  Hell, that's like a full infomercial
for them and will probably be more accepted by viewers.  The last
thing we want to do is become a sell out, yet we're not afraid to
admit we're getting paid. It is a fine line.

Who knows if this will ever happen, but it sure beats the offers by
major networks looking to score free content for their new online
ventures.  Their offer?...  We'll provide you with more exposure. 
HA! Thanks, but no thanks -  that increase in exposure only increases
my costs.

Oh well.  If all else fails, at least I can add my vlogs to my resume
and hope it helps land my next job.  Too bad I'm happy w/ the job I got.

The reason I brought all this up is because I see the next 3-6 months
as being a critical point in the vlogging world.  It feels do or die time.

Re: [videoblogging] experience with DIY steadicams?

I don't have any experience with these but...If you are using a DV camera you can probably hold it steady enough if you practice. Try different grips - for example you can cradle the camera in your open palms like a basket. Then move the camera around like you're doing tai ci. With some practice, this works great and it's free and doesn't take up any space in your pack.

The Podsafe terms are definitely aimed at audio, not video.

Contrast that with Magnatune, which took my suggestions and added in a 
bit for videobloggers:

   Video blogs can put a credit at the end of their video of

Maganatune gets it when it comes to licensing music.

[videoblogging] Re: experience with DIY steadicams?

Not sure if this was mentioned in the thread or the series of links
posted, but a soda pop bottle is probably the cheapest steady cam...
and it actually works!

Go out and grab yourself a 1-liter plastic bottle of your favorite
drink.  Guzzle it down and fill it 1/4 to 1/2 full with water.  Drill
a hole in the cap, insert a washer on the inside and slide a bolt
through (make sure to get the right size/thread for your cam).  Then
tighten a nut down to the outside and screw the cap back on the
bottle.  Screw the wacky contraption into the bottom of your cam and
you're all set.

It lowers the center of gravity, which is a huge help... and the added
extra weight is easier to keep steady than a light handheld.  It also
does a great job at making you look funny.

true, true.Eric was definately speaking from his 'personal' perspective and since he is more of a rare breed and one that can and will brand himself as a vehicle for marketing other brands it wont jive with someone like you and prob most vloggers right now.
but, its great to read Eric's angle on such things and he always remarks that it IS his personal experience according to the path he is on. I think that your numbers, matt, seem fair. admittedly, i have not done extensive research on this since the first net boom but i appreciate your insight and estimation something we can all consider for our projects.

 Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show can show clips from TV shows 
 because they're commending on or parodying the content of those clips.  
 So comment or satire makes these copyrighted clips fair game, is that

 And if SNL and Jon Stewart can do it, can't vloggers do likewise?

There is one difference though, NBC and Comedy Central have lawyers,

[videoblogging] Re: legal rights of copyrighted material

2006-01-19 Thread Carl Weaver

Jen, this isn't quite accurate. There are provisions for fair use and these
govern a couple things, such as what the video is being used for and how long
the video clip is that you want to copy. I am not an attorney but I used to work
in the copyright world, securing permission to reprint material. take what I am
about to say with the knowledge that I am more of an expert than many people but
certainly not an attorney.

Saying you can tape CNN off the TV and then rebroadcast it for free is like
saying you can photocopy John Grisham's new book and reprint it. It doesn't work
like that as a blanket thing. Again, for some cases you can use short snippets
but for the most part no. Charity or not. Profits, revenues, nonprofits and
charities have no sway in this matter for the most part.

And who is in the video doesn't have anything to do with it. The copyright is
owned by the person or company that created the piece. Just like the copyright
of a portrait I shoot as a photographer is owned by me, not the person I
photographed. I may give someone else permission to use the picture or not. But
if you decide to republish it without permission, we have a problem. There are
also all sorts of legalities involved with whether I have permission from the
person to use their likeness and image for certain purposes, but that person
does not own the copyright to the image without my assigning it to them.

All that being said, my philosophy is to use other sources sparingly, sometimes
treading to the other side of the legal line. However, if called out for it, I
will modify my videos to appease copyright holders. the quality of my
productions make it obvious that I am not making any money and I am not saying
anything bad about the copyright holders, so most would have no problem.
However, I do not have the right to use someone else's work simply because I
want to or because I think I should have the right.

So you are right in that we shouldn't censor ourselves, but it's good to know
what is covered by fair use, especially when doing videos professionally. If you
want the straight poop, consult an attorney.

Just my two cents. And then some.

 This just isn't true. There are many times when you can use material  
 that is owned by others without their permission. I can do a story  
 about Home Depot, for example, use their logo, film in front of their  
 store and talk all about them without their permission. Maybe I'm  
 uncovering bad practices, and of course they might want to stop me, but  
 they can't. I can create a piece about Bush, using footage of Bush,  
 without his permission -- I can even take that footage from CNN, right  
 off the tv, without CNN's permission (I did this...  
 http://www.bushforpeace.us and distributed the piece all over).
 
 It's called FAIR USE, and there are many many times people can use  
 footage created or owned by others, images and trademarks and public  
 appearances and such.
 
 SO PLEASE -- let's not censor ourselves, or scare each other into not  
 doing some great work out of a misunderstanding of what we can and  
 can't do legally.
 
 We all have a lot more in the way of rights than people are exercising

2006-01-19 Thread cooper3acd

Wow - that's awesome!

I will go out on a limb here and say that you are getting those kind 
of cpms because you're so current and it in regards to online 
video (it in a very good way).

You have good viewership and as a leader of this movement there are 
positive branding implications for companies that sponsor you that 
go far beyond simple cpm value. Those cpm numbers are simply not 
achievable for publishers who do not have your current positioning, 
product and reach.

Of course, your challenge is to maintain this value (and to maintain 
your cutting edge profile) as you grow and move forwards. 

Cheers,
Rob

  So all this legal talk about music brings me back to sponsors...
 
  $25-50 CPM (cost per thousand) is an average price for video
  sponsorships.  (Disclaimer: I used to work for a major sports 
website
  and am going by what they charge for various video advertising.  
And
  the per 1000 makes the price relative to popularity.)
 
  The big difference with RSS-based media is that the sponsorship 
would
  be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the movie 
does.
 
  Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets downloaded 
10,000
  times in the first month and 2,000 times each month 
thereafter... that
  would make the value of a single video sponsorship at $250 for 
the
  first month and $50 for each month afterwards.
 
  Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers since the 
video
  gets pushed further down into the feed/archives.  So maybe the 
sponsor
   only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and 
another $250
  for the remaining 5 months...  Bring the total to $500 
sponsorship per
  video. (Up-front payment of course.)
 
  Seems realistic to me, but wanted to check how others feel about 
this.

[videoblogging] re: experience with DIY steadicams?

2006-01-19 Thread Carl Weaver

I made the $14 one from those same directions. I encountered two real problems.

1. As Adam said, it is hard to drill the holes dead-center unless you have a
vice. In fact, I would recommend a drill press as well. The casting lines in the
end caps threw off my drilling accuracy.

2. The guy at Home Depot thought I was making a bomb and freaked out a little
when I asked him which type of bit I would need to drill through a steel pipe
cap. I reassured him by saying that these are small pipes and certainly couldn't
blow anything up. Of course, that's not true but I didn't end up in Guantanamo
or anything, thank goodness.

It's a little unwieldy but it's great for movement shots. If you want to steady
a shaky hand for a still shot, it's not as good.

Have fun and don't go buying a bunch of explosives or other nitrogen-rich stuff
when you buy the parts for your steady cam thing.

Cheers,
Carl

Go out and grab yourself a 1-liter plastic bottle of your favorite

a hole in the cap, insert a washer on the inside and slide a bolt
through (make sure to get the right size/thread for your cam). Then
tighten a nut down to the outside and screw the cap back on the

you're all set.

It lowers the center of gravity, which is a huge help... and the added

does a great job at making you look funny.

some way of steadying a camera without a tripod screw (like a lot of
small digital cameras which happen to do video)?

An unstabilised video can end up a bit unpleasant:

We are going to try something fun with advertising on Monday, if all

such a high CPM value. I'll send in the news then.

 Take your ROI and CPM and chuck that out the window. We're living in
 a world where that
 starts to mean diddly squat.

 I'll set a price, set the expectations, and the sponsor cay say yea
 or nay...

 Return on investment (ROI) will always have meaning, and cost per
 thousand (CPM) is a benchmark to quantify the value of a
 ad/sponsorship.  Setting a price without a quantitative justification
 will not be accepted very well.  I can say I want $1000 per movie, but
 how did I come to that number and what happens if traffic goes up or
 down?  At what relative rate does the cost change?  CPM is a standard
 pricing structure for advertising and most sponsors will be familar
 with it.

 As for the take it or leave it approach, that simply will not work.
  Sure I'd love to say you better recognize to a sponsor, but where
 would that get me?  We need funding to continue to grow.  I can't
 afford to shut doors in people's faces.

 Keep in mind in all this sponsorship talk, it doesn't have to be
 some big-ol-honkin'
 conglomerate... Go get free schwag from a local skate/surf shop or
 something. Indie
 people can advertise in indie media and it's still a little bit punk
 rock.

 I work in the industry and already get free schwag.  More importantly,
 clothing and equiptment doesn't pay for hosting.

 Maybe I have my head up my ass, but vlog watchers should be valueable
 to sponsors (especially if they represent a niche market of mostly
 young males).  Personally, I'd love to get local sponsorship to the
 places we travel.  Then their business can be integrated into the
 video somehow rather than the classic sponsored by logo at the
 beginning and end. It would be even better to add an inteview w/ a biz
 rep if they are in the industry.  Hell, that's like a full infomercial
 for them and will probably be more accepted by viewers.  The last
 thing we want to do is become a sell out, yet we're not afraid to
 admit we're getting paid. It is a fine line.

 Who knows if this will ever happen, but it sure beats the offers by
 major networks looking to score free content for their new online
 ventures.  Their offer?...  We'll provide you with more exposure.
 HA! Thanks, but no thanks -  that increase in exposure only increases
 my costs.

 Oh well.  If all else fails, at least I can add my vlogs to my resume
 and hope it helps land my next job.  Too bad I'm happy w/ the job I  
 got.

 The reason I brought all this up is because I see the next 3-6 months
 as being a critical point in the vlogging world.  It feels do or  
 die time.

That stuff from Google about preferred format is probably not as

jsut fine, or maybe slightly slowe. The mp3 advice may even be out of

   So all this legal talk about music brings me back to sponsors...
  
   $25-50 CPM (cost per thousand) is an average price for video
   sponsorships.  (Disclaimer: I used to work for a major sports 
 website
   and am going by what they charge for various video advertising.  
 And
   the per 1000 makes the price relative to popularity.)
  
   The big difference with RSS-based media is that the sponsorship 
 would
   be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the movie 
 does.
  
   Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets downloaded 
 10,000
   times in the first month and 2,000 times each month 
 thereafter... that
   would make the value of a single video sponsorship at $250 for 
 the
   first month and $50 for each month afterwards.
  
   Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers since the 
 video
   gets pushed further down into the feed/archives.  So maybe the 
 sponsor
only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and 
 another $250
   for the remaining 5 months...  Bring the total to $500 
 sponsorship per
   video. (Up-front payment of course.)
  
   Seems realistic to me, but wanted to check how others feel about

2006-01-19 Thread Steve Watkins

I agree. The most I would ever aim for at the moment is 720P, which is
1280x720 which seems to be what nikadigital was trying. I dont know
why that didnt work, as its also 16:9 so it should really have
distorted anything.

I dont know what the situation is like in the USA, but here in the UK
a range of 720P flatscreen TVs are starting to get affordable, and so
I expect that resolution will start to get popular for some people,
though its still overkill for many people at the moment.

Even 960x540, which most people have the display resolution to show, 
doesnt tend to perform so well in a web browser, so if the intended
target is embedded browser viewing I reluctantly advise something even
smaller like 480x270 at this point in time. For downloadable version
there will be some people who would like a higher res than that
though, and that brings me back to 720P.   


Yeah so this problem with your stuff being squashed or stretched, I
dont know what the problem is. My previous advise was to make sure
that encoding software wasnt misinterpreting the aspect ratio of your
footage, by getting confused about it being 1440 pixels rather than
1920. Maybe someone who actually uses windows media stuff could have a
better idea, but I dont know how many people on this list are doing

View Askew wants them to spread as far as possible. yet technically still illegal. It would be unwise to spread the idea (kitka) that its cool to use people's music if you're "promoting" them. Generally it would not be the artist themself who went after you - it would be the publisher (although these are sometimes the same). So - even though you may love a song, and you include it in your vlog, a corporation still might take issue with it. Especially if you are popular (kitka :) ) . It could be construed that you are profiting from a use of a song that is explicitly not allowed under copyright law. What if, down the line, you do end up making a profit from your work? Anyway, I personally dont have a problem with it, but I don't think we should be giving advice thats untrue. brett IANALIANALAIALALNALNALNALNALNANALALANALAANALNAL ALSO I think showing some QT footage is a different ball of wax than songs - there are way more layers in music (publishers, mechanical rights, record companies, etc).

That's great news indeed. I really like Brian's choice of quotes on
his Blogger page:

The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the
camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a
wonderful and thirlling adventure...it will be enjoyable because it
will be true and new...the film of tomorrow will be an act of love.
-Francois Truffaut

Congratulations and good luck, Brian.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: legal rights of copyrighted material

2006-01-19 Thread Jen Simmons

On Jan 19, 2006, at 7:35 AM, Crystal wrote:

Okay but how about Music? If I publish lets say stillshots with
background music of my favorite artist that goes along with the
pictures...and I have the CD so its not like I stole it off the net.
Republish on the net...so every can see it. But yet its mainly for
Friends and Family

is that breaking any laws?

I mean its my CD so why can't i put MY pictures to music and share
it with people??

The answer: no one knows yet.
The laws regarding use of copyrighted works were written to be intentionally vague. The plan was for the law to have a large grey area so a judge could decide on a case-by-case basis what's right and what's not. The world has changed a lot, very quickly, however, and this new world we live in is, well, new! What does it mean for a ''regular person to make a movie using protected work and put it on the internet for a handful people to see?? I don't think a case like that has ever come before a court for a decision, and since the laws passed by legislators and previous court cases don't deal with this issue, then there is no law about it yet.

Meanwhile not only has the internet changed broadcasting, and computers have broken-down barriers to entry to creating films and media... but also corporations have taken over more and more, buying up the rights to more and more.

Really I think there are two issues here:
what is legal, and
what is respectful.

I see no need to respect the copyright on Happy Birthday (which was owned by AOL/Time Warner... who's got it now?) If you are making a feature film to distribute in theaters, you have to buy the rights to use the song -- and it's incredibly expensive. The song was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill, with different words, and so the artists are long gone. AOL Time Warner is just using the legal system and their power to make as much money as possible without regard to what the song means to us as a culture. So... if I get together with friends and sing happy birthday in a restaurant, I'm not going to worry about paying a fee for a public performance of a song. That's totally ridiculous. If we videotape the moment, and I post it to my videoblog, I am also not going to worry about it. Of course, I don't want the wrath of AOL Time Warner lawyers upon me... I make less than $20k a year, how in the world could I afford to defend myself in a lawsuit BUT A HA! I am not alone. I'm sure if I got a seizt and desist letter from AOL, I could contact American University and all these non-profits working on fair use and they would jump on the case, donating their services and taking care of the thing for me. It would be a great case to see happen, and could mean breaking the hold of these ridiculous money-grabbers!!

Meanwhile, at the same time, there are many examples where it's grey as to whether or not I have to get permission to use someone else's work, but I decide I want to, because it's the right thing to do -- it's the respectful thing to do. I can use my own judgment, and not worry about the law. If a local band is selling their first album, it's great exposure for them if I use their song in my videoblog. I'd make sure I credit them, and link to their band website where people can find out where they are playing and buy their album. If I knew them, I'd probably let them know / ask them if it's okay. But for me, if I didn't know them and didn't have time / felt too shy to find them, I'd use their music anyway. It is great exposure for them -- if Good Morning America wanted to do a spot on them, crediting them, but without paying them, I'm sure they'd be thrilled!!!

If however, I had some project going where I was going to make money -- like I'm selling videos, and I take their music, and especially don't credit them, but rather take advantage of a situation and even try to pass off their art as my own -- well then I'm doing something wrong. I say if it feels like stealing, then don't do it!! Even if you could fight off a lawsuit and win. It's still wrong.

But to your original question -- does every home-movie maker who wants to use a mainstream song off a CD for their photo slide show or movie of their kids have to worry about copyright violation?? I say no. Apply created iPhoto and iMovie to let people do this very easily, and did demonstrations of this very kind of project, and no one said, hey you have to get Madonna's permission to use her song with those pictures of your dog. I think publishing the movie to the web is just a step further... and still should be allowed.

Again, there is no law drawing the line in the digital sand. And every record label (all 5 of them) will probably have a different policy about what to do about this. There may be some band or some label that eventually decides to do something about this and sue. But I say, bring it on -- what happened to freedom?? We have to defend our rights if we have any hope of keeping any.

 A big reason Digg.com got so big so fast was because Kevin Rose was
the Dark Tipper on the show.  Leo, Kevin and Patrick have all moved
on sucessfully due to the now-cancelled TV show.  Leo is well liked by
regular computer users and Kevin is big among the Linux/UNIX/hacker
geeks.

Remember guys, I'm Canadian... I never even heard of Adam Curry until
I was mentioned on his show a few months ago... I thought he was
related to Tim Curry or something.

I didn't really get into videoblogging because I saw it and wanted to
do it, I just did it... only now am I learning more about the community.

 I will go out on a limb here and say that you are getting those

there are
 positive branding implications for companies that sponsor

   So all this legal talk about music brings me back to
sponsors...
  
   $25-50 CPM (cost per thousand) is an average price for video
   sponsorships.  (Disclaimer: I used to work for a major
sports
 website
   and am going by what they charge for various video
  advertising.
 And
   the per 1000 makes the price relative to popularity.)
  
   The big difference with RSS-based media is that the
sponsorship
 would
   be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the
movie
 does.
  
   Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets
downloaded
 10,000
   times in the first month and 2,000 times each month
 thereafter... that
   would make the value of a single video sponsorship at
$250 for
 the
   first month and $50 for each month afterwards.
  
   Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers
since the
 video
   gets pushed further down into the feed/archives.  So
maybe the
 sponsor
only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and
 another $250
   for the remaining 5 months...  Bring the total to $500
 sponsorship per
   video. (Up-front payment of course.)
  
   Seems realistic to me, but wanted to check how others feel
  about
 this.

People... THIS is why you never hear any new music being played by
crew members on Star Trek...

   Friends and Family
 
   is that breaking any laws?
 
   I mean its my CD so why can't i put MY pictures to music and share
   it with people??
 
 The answer: no one knows yet.
 The laws regarding use of copyrighted works were written to be 
 intentionally vague. The plan was for the law to have a large grey area 
 so a judge could decide on a case-by-case basis what's right and what's 
 not. The world has changed a lot, very quickly, however, and this new 
 world we live in is, well, new! What does it mean for a ''regular 
 person to make a movie using protected work and put it on the internet 
 for a handful people to see?? I don't think a case like that has ever 
 come before a court for a decision, and since the laws passed by 
 legislators and previous court cases don't deal with this issue, then 
 there is no law about it yet.
 
 Meanwhile not only has the internet changed broadcasting, and computers 
 have broken-down barriers to entry to creating films and media... but 
 also corporations have taken over more and more, buying up the rights 
 to more and more.
 
 Really I think there are two issues here:
 what is legal, and
 what is respectful.
 
 I see no need to respect the copyright on Happy Birthday (which was 
 owned by AOL/Time Warner... who's got it now?) If you are making a 
 feature film to distribute in theaters, you have to buy the rights to 
 use the song -- and it's incredibly expensive. The song was written in 
 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill, with different words, and so the 
 artists are long gone. AOL Time Warner is just using the legal system 
 and their power to make as much money as possible without regard to 
 what the song means to us as a culture. So... if I get together with 
 friends and sing happy birthday in a restaurant, I'm not going to worry 
 about paying a fee for a public performance of a song. That's totally 
 ridiculous. If we videotape the moment, and I post it to my videoblog, 
 I am also not going to worry about it. Of course, I don't want the 
 wrath of AOL Time Warner lawyers upon me... I make less than $20k a 
 year, how in the world could I afford to defend myself in a lawsuit 
 BUT A HA! I am not alone. I'm sure if I got a seizt and desist letter 
 from AOL, I could contact American University and all these non-profits 
 working on fair use and they would jump on the case, donating their 
 services and taking care of the thing for me. It would be a great case 
 to see happen, and could mean breaking the hold of these ridiculous 
 money-grabbers!!
 
 Meanwhile, at the same time, there are many examples where it's grey as 
 to whether or not I have to get permission to use someone else's 
 work, but I decide I want to, because it's the right thing to do -- 
 it's the respectful thing to do. I can use my own judgment, and not 
 worry about the law. If a local band is selling their first album, 
 it's great exposure for them if I use their song in my videoblog. I'd 
 make sure I credit them, and link to their band website where people 
 can find out where they are playing and buy their album. If I knew 
 them, I'd probably let them know / ask them if it's okay. But for me, 
 if I didn't know them and didn't have time / felt too shy to find them, 
 I'd use their music anyway. It is great exposure for them -- if Good 
 Morning America wanted to do a spot on them, crediting them, but 
 without paying them, I'm sure they'd be thrilled!!!
 
 If however, I had some project going where I was going to make money -- 
 like I'm selling videos, and I take their music, and especially don't 
 credit them, but rather take advantage of a situation and even try to 
 pass off their art as my own -- well then I'm doing something wrong. I 
 say if it feels like stealing, then don't do it!! Even if you could 
 fight off a lawsuit and win. It's still wrong.
 
 But to your original question -- does every home-movie maker who wants 
 to use a mainstream song off a CD for their photo slide show or movie 
 of their kids have to worry about copyright violation?? I say no. Apply 
 created iPhoto and iMovie to let people do this very easily, and did 
 demonstrations of this very kind of project, and no one said, hey you 
 have to get Madonna's permission to use her song with those pictures of 
 your dog. I think publishing the movie to the web is just a step 
 further... and still should be allowed.
 
 Again, there is no law drawing the line in the digital sand. And every 
 record label

[videoblogging] RIAA discussion

2006-01-19 Thread Leslie Guttman

In regard to the RIAA, I think they actually do go after small fish. My 
brother was playing guitar in coffeehouses in Lexington, Ky., my 
hometown, and actually had to stop because the RIAA had come through 
and either gotten down on the artists or the coffeehouse, I can't 
remember the specifics, about covering songs. It was sort of insane.

2006-01-19 Thread Mrs. Ours MA PLPC

Wow,
I guess this is my first Two cents post...

My humble opinion is simply this:  I will post my itty bitty vlog on the big 
world wide web... I will give credit where credit is due at all times 
providing URL's, Artist names, and core information. I will not say I wrote 
this! or I made This! if I didn't and will say who did whenever humanly 
possible.  I will also not charge people money of any kind to access or 
utilize my material or the material I share with others via my 
vlog/blog/Insert favorite form of media sharing mode here. Although I won't 
use Metallica stuff... (sorry bad cheap shot at Lars there).  If some famous 
person wants to come and take what wealth I have they're welcome to the 
beatup 68 chevy and the four kids it's all the wealth in the world I 
have.

I believe unless the big guys just get a wild hair and wanna crucify some 
poor mid-western housewife and mother of fourI'm probably safe enough 
being honestly dishonest?

Okay.. That's all I got

[videoblogging] My iTunes Surprise

2006-01-19 Thread Rob Parrish

This group and my wife are about the only folks who would care about
this. 

But I found that if you search iTunes's podcasts for either video
art or art video my humble vlog http://www.hoppervideo.net comes up
as the second found item.  I was truly surprised by this.  I guess
when I signed up I put those terms into some tagging system, but I
don't really remember.  

Anybody know anything about how the iTunes search engine works?  The
podcasts that get listed in the top section have bigger bars on the
relevance column below.

By the way, for all you Kenny G fans I just posted a little something

[videoblogging] media detection using drupal?




Hi group. I'm wondering if any drupal pros here have any
experience with media detection. I'm coming across some issues
with Homeless Nation about PC users not having quicktime installed, and
I'm toying with doing a redirect to windows media for users that don't
have QT. Anyone have any experience with this, or experience in
general that might translate into drupal?

Thanks!

Re: [videoblogging] Advice on microphones (for loud conventions)

Kitka -
1) listen to Jan - she's a pro
2) it's generally better to seperate the mic from the camera itself so
you can get in real close. A boom person can make sure that the
directional mic they are using is pointed in the right direction, and
doesn't limit your camera to being super close to get good sound.
3) often we use lav mics, wireless ones, when we do interviews.
especially if we don't have a dedicated sound recordist. these
tend to be pretty expensive, though, for good ones - but since your
stuff is only destined for the web, it doesn't need to be as high
quality as it needs to be for broadcast
4) if you DO want to buy a beachtek, I've had one kicking around
forever that I want to get rid of. If you end up buying a new
camera that has XLR inputs, though, you won't need one. If not,
let me know! I'll bring it to the next meetup :)

The other advantage of having a beach tek (or a camera with XLR inputs)
is that you could have one mic that your interviewer holds, and then
another one on your subject.

cheers!

 Thanks for letting us know about copyright law are Australia. Anyone

The basics of Copyright are covered in the Berne Convention. These basics  
are shared by the 160 countries who have agreed to follow the convention  
(yes, I had to look up the number). This solves many issues alone. There  
are variations from country to country of course. Variations in the extent  
of Fair Use rights (Fair Use is not as well defined in Denmark for  
example) and variations in damages (bigger in the US than in Denmark) and  
so on.

 This does bring up interesting points -- the internet is global, so how
 does the law or practices of individual countries come into play? Since
 the corporate conglomerate has become more powerful than any country
 and more rights-laden than any individual, and passes right over
 borders as if they aren't there -- how does this reality affect what we
 as artists do or don't do? Does U.S. copyright law cover the globe in a
 way, since most global corporations are run by U.S. owners (with an
 off-shore address to evade taxes of course)?

You can only be sued for breaking the law in the country you reside.  
Thankfully US corporations can't extend messed up American laws to my  
country (and vice versa). I have yet to hear of extraditions for civil  
suits!

Misappropriation laws (using another's likeness for profit) and privacy

Yeah if you've never had cable or satelite TV or just not a certified
geek they you've likely never heard of him either. Although he is on
the Canadian version of Call for Help. But no big deal, that just
explains why he's doing so well with donations. I think it's great
that he can do this with no sponsorship. Its also interesting that his
web video stuff has as big or a bigger audiance than his TV show.

So all this legal talk about music brings me back to
 sponsors...
   
$25-50 CPM (cost per thousand) is an average price for
video
sponsorships.  (Disclaimer: I used to work for a major
 sports
  website
and am going by what they charge for various video
   advertising.
  And
the per 1000 makes the price relative to popularity.)
   
The big difference with RSS-based media is that the
 sponsorship
  would
be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the
 movie
  does.
   
Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets
 downloaded
  10,000
times in the first month and 2,000 times each month
  thereafter... that
would make the value of a single video sponsorship at
 $250 for
  the
first month and $50 for each month afterwards.
   
Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers
 since the
  video
gets pushed further down into the feed/archives.  So
 maybe the
  sponsor
 only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and
  another $250
for the remaining 5 months...  Bring the total to $500
  sponsorship per
video. (Up-front payment of course.)
   
Seems realistic to me, but wanted to check how others feel

I submitted a video on Google and placed it on my website at 
crystalvlogs.blogspot.com   its not much mostly a slideshows for the 
grandparents in alabama but.

I must say...it did better than I had anticipated
the worry i had was how they have to verfiy your submission before 
they put it on the web. With blip.tv its instantenous...i like that 
better but because of the past troubles (which have cleared up by 
themselves btw) I said well let me try this to see what happens...it 
worked. and my video was approved in about 6 hours or so. so that 
was okay...i will just use that as my backup incase when blip 
decides to give me fits again...

   Friends and Family
 
   is that breaking any laws?
 
   I mean its my CD so why can't i put MY pictures to music and 
share
   it with people??
 
 The answer: no one knows yet.
 The laws regarding use of copyrighted works were written to be 
 intentionally vague. The plan was for the law to have a large grey 
area 
 so a judge could decide on a case-by-case basis what's right and 
what's 
 not. The world has changed a lot, very quickly, however, and this 
new 
 world we live in is, well, new! What does it mean for a ''regular 
 person to make a movie using protected work and put it on the 
internet 
 for a handful people to see?? I don't think a case like that has 
ever 
 come before a court for a decision, and since the laws passed by 
 legislators and previous court cases don't deal with this issue, 
then 
 there is no law about it yet.
 
 Meanwhile not only has the internet changed broadcasting, and 
computers 
 have broken-down barriers to entry to creating films and media... 
but 
 also corporations have taken over more and more, buying up the 
rights 
 to more and more.
 
 Really I think there are two issues here:
 what is legal, and
 what is respectful.
 
 I see no need to respect the copyright on Happy Birthday (which 
was 
 owned by AOL/Time Warner... who's got it now?) If you are making a 
 feature film to distribute in theaters, you have to buy the rights 
to 
 use the song -- and it's incredibly expensive. The song was 
written in 
 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill, with different words, and so the 
 artists are long gone. AOL Time Warner is just using the legal 
system 
 and their power to make as much money as possible without regard 
to 
 what the song means to us as a culture. So... if I get together 
with 
 friends and sing happy birthday in a restaurant, I'm not going to 
worry 
 about paying a fee for a public performance of a song. That's 
totally 
 ridiculous. If we videotape the moment, and I post it to my 
videoblog, 
 I am also not going to worry about it. Of course, I don't want the 
 wrath of AOL Time Warner lawyers upon me... I make less than $20k 
a 
 year, how in the world could I afford to defend myself in a 
lawsuit 
 BUT A HA! I am not alone. I'm sure if I got a seizt and desist 
letter 
 from AOL, I could contact American University and all these non-
profits 
 working on fair use and they would jump on the case, donating 
their 
 services and taking care of the thing for me. It would be a great 
case 
 to see happen, and could mean breaking the hold of these 
ridiculous 
 money-grabbers!!
 
 Meanwhile, at the same time, there are many examples where it's 
grey as 
 to whether or not I have to get permission to use someone else's 
 work, but I decide I want to, because it's the right thing to do --
 
 it's the respectful thing to do. I can use my own judgment, and 
not 
 worry about the law. If a local band is selling their first 
album, 
 it's great exposure for them if I use their song in my videoblog. 
I'd 
 make sure I credit them, and link to their band website where 
people 
 can find out where they are playing and buy their album. If I knew 
 them, I'd probably let them know / ask them if it's okay. But for 
me, 
 if I didn't know them and didn't have time / felt too shy to find 
them, 
 I'd use their music anyway. It is great exposure for them -- if 
Good 
 Morning America wanted to do a spot on them, crediting them, but 
 without paying them, I'm sure they'd be thrilled!!!
 
 If however, I had some project going where I was going to make 
money -- 
 like I'm selling videos, and I take their music, and especially 
don't 
 credit them, but rather take advantage of a situation and even try 
to 
 pass off their art as my own -- well then I'm doing something 
wrong. I 
 say if it feels like stealing, then don't do it!! Even if you 
could 
 fight off a lawsuit and win. It's still wrong.
 
 But to your original question -- does every home-movie maker who 
wants 
 to use a mainstream song off a CD for their photo slide show or 
movie 
 of their kids have to worry about copyright violation?? I say no. 
Apply 
 created iPhoto and iMovie to let people do this very easily, and 
did 
 demonstrations of this very kind of project, and no one said, hey 
you 
 have to get Madonna's permission to use her song with those

[videoblogging] Re: Sponsorships?

No, they said that Leo, Kevin and Patrick combined average in one week
what the show got in a single day.

The part I found most interesting is that Leo does not offer his
videos in iTunes because he can't handle the cost.  I wonder if that
means he doesn't have a feed or if he simply did not submit it to the
ITMS Directory.

I get sad when comparing the number of readers in iTunes to the number
of site visitors, let alone those who comment.  I wish iTunes would
take a few notes from FireANT.

I think it's important to 
remember that Home video bloggers are perhaps not as high on vlogger ladder 
of credibility as perhaps those that show more exciting footage. This isn't 
a bad thing necessarily just seems to be a norm. Cool stuff is just not 
equal to videos of children doing child things or pets doing pet things 
unless you are a child/pet person. :-} 

How condescending of you. From what I understand video blog means 
a blog that includes video. "Credibility," in my dictionary, means 
something that is believable. Perhaps home video bloggers have the highest 
"credibility" over those who create "cool stuff."

Re: [videoblogging] media detection using drupal?

2006-01-19 Thread Kath O'Donnell




Hi Brett,

when you're posting in drupal are you using Filtered HTML. you can
edit the content filters for this to add the extra html codes, or use
Full HTML or PHP content filters if you have them enabled instead.
depending on the code your using for redirect of course. if you have
user rights setup check that the users are able to use these extra
content filters.



I'm not sure if your question was how to write the redirect code, or
how to get drupal to use it? the above is for the latter. drupal.org
forums are pretty helpful too.

cheers

While I too wouldn't recommend You Tube, their terms of service are

core users would possibly be ecstatic and not bothered by the lack of  
compensation. At the same time, You Tube doesn't allow you to create  
an RSS feed of your videos -- and there are plenty of alternatives
