Really? I would have thought it is fair use, but I guess no Machinima producers have true tested the law in this regard? Certainly Blizzard attempts to control the use through the TOU and restrict derivative content to non-commercial use only.
- baddox 16y agoIn the USA, fair use legal precedent has mostly been superseded by laws such as the DMCA. I don't agree with it, but that's the legal situation we're in these days.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoI wasn't aware that fair use was superseded in any way by the DMCA. Cant you explain how that works?
- mcantor 16y agoBut it's not Machinima... it's just a broadcast of their product being used exactly as it is intended. Wouldn't that be like a baseball bat manufacturer telling someone to take videos of their Little League game off of YouTube?
- ohashi 16y agoWell, they are adding commentary(audio) to video from in-game. To me that seems like machinima.
