 Interesting you should say that... if someone starts to make money
 you could legaly structure yourselves and incoporate to avoid
 liabilities from the original practices... it's quite simple actually.

Yes and no.  If it's obvious that was your intent, a judge can pierce
the corporate veil.  It would be better to plan not to create illegal
content in the first place.

 I've recently registered as a podcaster with podsafe music network and
 used one song in a vlog entry.
 
 Reading the above statement made me wonder what the artists terms on
 pmn specify so here is a c/p of
 http://music.podshow.com/music/artistTerms.htm :
[snip]
 Listener does suggest that the intent is for the music to be used in
 an audio recording


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:

   http://magnatune.com/artists/license/podcast

   Video blogs can put a credit at the end of their video of
   the form The song 'song name' by 'artist name' used by
   permission from www.magnatune.com

Maganatune gets it when it comes to licensing music.

Does Rocketboom have the rights to use a clip from this?  Wouldn't
they need the approval of both Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino?

Also, what about the rights for those commericals at the end?
http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/archives/2006/01/rb_06_jan_17.html

The reason I ask is because we use copyrighted music all the time, as
well as screencasts from Google Earth.  I haven't been too worried
about getting busted because we're still smalltime.  Also, searching
the pod-safe music sites is a daunting task and my ears begin to bleed
after listening to tons of crappy songs (not to say all of it is crap).

Anyways, it would provide big publicity if Google or the RIAA censored
a video blog.  Is there a bigger risk of getting busted if a vlog has
sponsorship money?  Just want to get ideas from others.

 Does Rocketboom have the rights to use a clip from this?  Wouldn't
 they need the approval of both Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino?

I'm no lawyer, but if you're providing free advertising for something
I don't believe you'll get into any trouble unless you are:

a) using the copyrighted material to make fun of it;
b) using the copyrighted material to promote something the artist may
be against (eg. pornography, politics, etc.);
c) making money from using their copyrighted material.

I don't know about Rocketboom, but when I used copyrighted music on my
last show, I made a direct link to the Amazon page where you can
purchase the CD.  Since they get free advertising as well as a link to
sell more albums, I doubt that they will ever complain.

The good thing about doing this is that you can sign up with Amazon
Associates and if anyone buys the product you can make 5% of the
profits.  (My theory should work, but I haven't made a cent yet...)

In any case, the Clerks 2 web site is set up as a videoblog, so why
would Rocketboom get into any trouble... it seems to me that Kevin
Smith just wanted to generate buzz (and that's exactly what Rocketboom
contributed to).  Besides, I bet you five bucks that Kevin Smith is a
Rocketboom fan... Amanda Congdon is too cute to evade his radar.

Yeah, we are an Amazon affiliate and link from the vlog post to the
album that contains the song we're using... but 90% of our traffic is
coming from iTunes so most viewers do not have the context of our
site. (Damn iTunes!)

I realize that using copyrighted music is 100% illegal, but wonder if 
there is a bigger risk of getting busted if the site contains
sponsorship, which means we're making money off the content (including
the song used).

This is probably a worthless topic since any way you look at it is
illegal.  Oh well, I have no plans of changing any time soon since the
RIAA has bigger fish to fry.

2006-01-18 Thread Ms. Kitka
Oh wait... I've made 87 cents from Amazon Associates, yay.

Well, if you direct your audience from your vlog to go to
LeanBackVids.com then I don't think you should be at fault for people
watching in iTunes.  Besides, I wonder if there's some way of
disclaiming the music you use by saying it was taken from a shared
music source... with all the legal jargon rolling around, there must
be a way to get out of that kind of lawsuit.

I would worry more if you do have a sponsorship.  It would be a
responsible move to make sure that you are using music that you are
authorized to use.  I have no doubt that as the web grows more
communial, it will not be as difficult to use a piece of music in
vlogs.  My best advice is to play it safe for now by either adding a
disclaimer or linking to the product... the other option is to make
friends with record executives...

BTW, the only reason Kitkast took on a 1930s Hollywood theme is
because I was trying to find music that was open source!  Alot of
these old movies and songs are open source so I got a lot of stuff off
archive.org to use for my intro/outro!

 sponsorship, which means we're making money off the content (including
 the song used).
 
 This is probably a worthless topic since any way you look at it is
 illegal.  Oh well, I have no plans of changing any time soon since the
 RIAA has bigger fish to fry.

Kitka, you seem to contradict yourself:

Good point, Pete, but the difference is quite clear; while I'm making
a few cents off the sale of their album, I'm not making any money by
using the music on my vlog... the money is made by using a perfectly
legitimate advertising service on my blog site.

So, when I said I've made 87 cents, the money was made from the text
link on my blog site, not by embedding the link somehow into my vlog
(which is probably do-able since I think Rocketboom does that with
their story links).

If a record exec has a problem with the money I make from Amazon
Affiliates, they can go ahead and sue Amazon.  Seriously, though... a
begger makes more money on the street than I do from Amazon.

I'm no lawyer either but my sense is this kind of policy is setting
yourself up for a lawsuit. I think it's very, very risky to use anyone
else's footage or music unless they expressly allow it through a
creative commons license or some other deal with you. 

For example, I avoid using music unless it's got a CC license, it's
public domain, I've licensed it, or I've gotten permission from the
owner/publisher. I often license tracks from productiontrax.com, which
offers a decent database of music and lower prices for noncommercial
licensees. And I'm always pleasantly surprised how many music
publishers let me use their work gratis; it's just a matter of asking
nicely and explaining how you'll use it. But these are usually mom 'n
pop music labels I'm dealing with. If it were a major Hollywood
studio, I'd tread very carefully. 

Would they sue? Maybe not. But if you become a repeat offender they
may change their minds. You can claim fair use all you want; but if
you're repackaging someone else's content and making it available for
an international audience, you may ruffle some feathers

Hi, i am (thankfully perhaps) not a lawyer, but am interested in media
copyright issues.

Here is a excerpt of the wikipedia article on Fair Use.
A quick look suggests that critising, commenting or reporting on a
thing does allow you to use parts of it (to make a point such as
rocketboom).
I don't think that the profitability of your work matters when
considering weather you can cite fair use of another work.


--begin wikipedia excerpt--

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use
of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or
phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for
purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching
(including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or
research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether
the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the
factors to be considered shall include—

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is
of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to
the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of
fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above
factors.[1]

 a) using the copyrighted material to make fun of it;

Parody is actually one of the few things you can go far with.

 b) using the copyrighted material to promote something the artist may

Irrelevant. What matters is whether you're using copyrighted material or  
your own material. It does not matter what causes you may or may not be  
promoting.

 c) making money from using their copyrighted material.

Making money makes it worse. Making no money does not mean what you're  
doing is legal.

Fair Use rights have been discussed on this list more than once. Myths  
keep appearing, even new ones. Free advertising is one of these myths.

I keep recommending that videobloggers educate themselves. It's all fun  
and games until you get a cease and desist letter. Buy a college text book  
on mass media laws and read it. I've read Dom Pember Mass Media Law and  
I recommend it because it covers all applicable laws, not just copyright  
(privacy, libel, trademark etc.).

 I don't know about Rocketboom, but when I used copyrighted music on my
 last show, I made a direct link to the Amazon page where you can
 purchase the CD.  Since they get free advertising as well as a link to
 sell more albums, I doubt that they will ever complain.

Just because they haven't found out about your use doesn't make it legal  
use.

 The good thing about doing this is that you can sign up with Amazon
 Associates and if anyone buys the product you can make 5% of the
 profits.  (My theory should work, but I haven't made a cent yet...)

Even worse. As you mentioned above making money on copyright infringement  
is never a good idea.

 In any case, the Clerks 2 web site is set up as a videoblog, so why
 would Rocketboom get into any trouble... it seems to me that Kevin
 Smith just wanted to generate buzz (and that's exactly what Rocketboom
 contributed to).

We don't know what Kevin Smith intended. As long as he hasn't given  
explicit permission you can't do anything apart from Fair Use. Period.

With that said I believe rocketboom's use does fall under Fair Use. IANAL  
and all that.

Matt, There are all sorts of legal issues... and I suggest doing

creative commons materials that explitiely state how you can use  
them.  That siad there is one final rule of thumb I go buy... and  
truely any great legal mind would tell you this under the table.

Lawsuits ALWAYS follow the money... therefore if you're not making  
any money you'll have some leway... In short I don't think you have  
much to worry about unless your planing on sub licensing or selling  
your content in the future. I do strongly advise you slowly move your  
workflow into a completely podsafe arena... because with so much  
great openly licensced media out there, particularly music there's  
just no need to take any risks.

That said I think rocketboom is getting into a big grey area because  
of their celebrity.
1) the videosphere is not as well devleloped and therefore not as  
much content is explicitely licensced for use with vlogs and other  
open access media.  Therefore rocketboom must draw on grey area content.

2) though I don't know how much money they're making yet their  
celebrity puts them in a precarious spot... they're high  
visibility... somone in fact might be tempted to sue them not because  
they're necissarily making money of this media, but because of the  
added bonus of free publicity.

That said I love and respect what rocketboom is doing with creative  
remixing and reuse of content... and I think though we may suffer  
some set backs this MUST be the way of the future.  To opt out of  
remixing, redistribution and reuse unnecisarily is to opt out of the  
evolving marketplace and the new economy of information...  
indreasingly as this new economy grows I ecpect they'll be more  
incentive for arists and even incumbent media to open up their  
libraries for creative reuse on at least some level.

In summary... the winds of change are blowing in favor of a more  
liberal fair use, but we must be careful of setbacks that will  
happen... primarily due greed and misunderstanding.

Every artist down here on the ground floor know the value of creative  
reuse... but people not on the ground floor of this revolution may  
not get it AT all.

Proceed with caution, but enjoy, experiment and do great and  
flattering things for those artists who's materials you reuse. Site  
them heavily and very favorably.

I do strongly advise you slowly move your workflow into a completely
podsafe arena...

I've recently registered as a podcaster with podsafe music network and
used one song in a vlog entry.

Reading the above statement made me wonder what the artists terms on
pmn specify so here is a c/p of
http://music.podshow.com/music/artistTerms.htm :

-begin quote

2 a (the artist grants pmn) ...the right to allow others to reproduce
each Work for the purpose of Broadcasting the Work, including the
right to use and incorporate each Work into a Collective Work, which
may itself be Broadcast

1  Definitions
Broadcast means Work or an acceptable Derivative Work thereof that
is played publicly for the benefit of interested listeners, and
particularly when such Work is played by a listener accessing a
digital file such as a podcast or streaming media file.


Podcast means a specific type of Broadcast, where the Work is
incorporated into a file (which may contain one or more works and/or
other material) which may be streamed, or played on a computer, on an
MP3 player or similar device by individuals who have downloaded such
file.

-end quote


Listener does suggest that the intent is for the music to be used in
an audio recording

 indreasingly as this new economy grows I ecpect they'll be more
 incentive for arists and even incumbent media to open up their
 libraries for creative reuse on at least some level.

 In summary... the winds of change are blowing in favor of a more
 liberal fair use, but we must be careful of setbacks that will
 happen... primarily due greed and misunderstanding.

 Every artist down here on the ground floor know the value of creative
 reuse... but people not on the ground floor of this revolution may
 not get it AT all.

 Proceed with caution, but enjoy, experiment and do great and
 flattering things for those artists who's materials you reuse. Site
 them heavily and very favorably.

 Peace,

 -Mike

 see friends get together and discuss the work and process, and

 (2) damn good marketing

 wonder if any of these guys subscribes to the group... ;)

What's really interesting is that View Askew itsself is using unliscensed copyrighted music in the Clerks 2 videoblogs. (Namely, in this case, 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' main titles by Sergio Leone.) Under Fair Use, Andrew is showing a clip of it. What about the music?
Every Clerks2 vlog is using music. I don't think they're concerned about it -- just don't raise any flags, because I've been enjoying them ;-)Beyond which -- as per the 'can rocketboom show ads' bit -- the Clerks 2 vlogs are clearly just that -- a promotional tool / ad. View Askew 
wants them to spread as far as possible.On 1/18/06, andrew michael baron

 Does Rocketboom have the rights to use a clip from this? Wouldn't
 they need the approval of both Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino?

We included a tiny portion of this work when reporting the news under 
the guidelines of fair use.

2006-01-18 Thread Kath O'Donnell



re copyright for music - I believe the laws are different in different
countries. fair use does not apply everywhere. it would be wise to
contact your countries music collection organisation/s for any queries
as they will know what applies to you and be able to offer advice.
there are also different requirements regarding publishing and
mechanical rights as well as artist/creator rights.

eg APRA/AMCOS covers Australia/NZ. here's a link to the list of
reciprocal orgs they have arrangements with in other countries in case
you're not sure of who your local org is. otherwise google should be
able to tell you.

ps - a quick list request - is it possible for people to trim posts when replying/quoting. saves excessive scrolling. thanks.

Pretty cool. Nice to see Smith getting feedback on his movie and the
process. Good god though, Tarantino (the person, not his movies) bugs
the shit outta me.

Always has...always will.

2006-01-15 Thread Michael Meiser
I used to when this thing began subscribe to the entire pipe of  
something like blogdigger media feeds and well a half dozen other  
sources... now the pipe is soo damn fat it'd take me a month to look  
at a 24 hour slice of such media. I haven't in fact taken a look at  
what's coming out of the firehose in about 6 months.. but at some  
point I'll probably will if only to get a good sense of how things  
are progressing...  What are people sharing... what are the trends...  
what's new and unexpected... it's not something you do everyday.

What I'm looking for is new levels of filters... more practical  
filters that I can integrate into my day to day so I will be  
subscribing to your feed jay.


BTW, one of the things I've been playing with recently is favorited  
video feeds on mefeedia... I expect I'll be playing with them on  
flickr too... We need much better systems, particularly ones that use  
favoriting and tagging to filter and organize media through aggregat  
actions... it's what delicious does but not very well with media.
