Thanks Paul, I agree with you too. In the media world, there IS such a thing as a "cease and desist". I was talking with someone from the CBC the other day (more about this subject at a later date) and he told me about how someone was compiling a Top 100 songs list for a major network.... he said that they got a cease and desist order from Leonard Cohen (or some boring musician like that) and they couldn't use him in the FLATTERING Top 100 show they were making.
Similarly, videobloggers aren't going to instantly get sued for using copywritten music/content... they will get a cease and desist order and if they do not comply, they will then be fined or get a court order. That said, stop worrying so much about it. As long as we all know the consequences, we can remove certain files from the Internet if they are problematic. I mean, it's not like you can just call up U2 and ask if you can use their music! Personally, I wouldn't use copyrighted material if I were making money off of it, but if it's all in good fun, I think it's fair to use it. (I don't see many people complaining about the use of the Brokeback Mountain song with all the homages like "Brokeback to the Future", etc.!)
