I hear what you're saying, Andrew. Often, I have the same feeling---If only they didn't use copyrighted music. My personal preference is to use my friends' music, create my own, or use CC or public domain stuff, largely because I don't want the controversy, and I have confidence in making

One of the main problems is that artists often don't own the copyright of their recordings. (in the case of music) . Their record comapany does. The artist may or may not retain publishing rights but in most cases the recording is owned by the record company. That's why you don't see many

"wow" is right (the last audible statement in the recording) sarcasm i love how MPAA's notion of "education" is taking the old "scared straight" approach /sarcasm it appears that their idea of education is more like what most folks call a threat mainly they tell stories about the

If anyone thinks oh they wont come after me, think again. My internet radio station had a relatively small listener base. The station didnt make any money at all. No advertising. No donations. Nothing. The majority of the music played was indie music. On occasion, a DJ would mix it up and throw in

The more into vlogging I get, the more convinced I am that this stuff is so important. I just read Lessig's Free Culture, JD's Darknet, checked out the EFF site and other resources. I understand that the media giants are scared, and I think they should be. They are basically huge teams of

Paul,You're not a bad person and you're probably right that you will likely never receive a take-down notice or any nasty notes from Lawyers. But, if you ever wanted to do more with your work, you probably would have to clear the rights for the soundtracks. I'm not saying its right or wrong,

I think it is complete b.s. that people can't legally remix the culture around them without the kind of friction the current system presents. . I encourage everyone to get political about this. We are an interest group. I don't know if we should band together to create a lobby, or support

I know that, in the art world, artists are allowed to use copyrighted materials in their work - at least, they have since I last did. In Canada, the right of the artist to use pop culture iconography as critique has held. Could be changing soon though, the way things are going. I find it
