Wait, what? Why is it the copyright holder that gets to decide what constitutes fair use? The present system seems subject to abuse.
- Lazlo_Nibble 16y agoThe copyright holder doesn't get to decide what constitutes fair use. But neither does the person posting the content, or the site that's hosting it. The only entity that can determine whether a given use is "fair" is a court of law. Regardless of the language used in the dispute form, this incident really has little to nothing to do with fair use, and everything to do with Youtube's hosting practices.
- lhorie 16y agoConveniently, nobody said anything when it used to be the other way around... For whatever it's worth, look at the first comment: In the context of youtube -- which is the context you were uploading the clip to, after all -- it's just a 90 second clip from their movie. No editorial, it's the entire thing. Someone browsing youtube who finds it will have no idea that there was a blog connected to it.
