Just out of curiosity:
Does something like this fall under fair use because the clips are short? At what point would it not? Say this site became viral and was making money off ads? Would it become a copyright violation at that point?
- tomatowurst 5y agodepends on Owen's agent. think it will be a bad look if he did go after it. also tough to make money off ads these days
- stjohnswarts 5y agothere were ads?
- mgbmtl 5y agoI'm no expert, but one often cited source is the "neither quantitatively nor qualitatively significant" argument from the Beastie Boys lawsuit. It could be equivalent to reaction GIFs. Although using Owen's name in a commercial service name would probably not be a good idea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastie_Boys https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastie_Boys
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI think it falls under parody? especially since no money is being made on it.
