(Image is in the Public Domain)

A fairly clever video maker has created a tutorial on copyright law using, of all things, Disney movie clips. It's humorous and informative which is a good combination 🙂

Just be careful because the speed that he switchs between clips might make you convulse.

I don't have the strength left to argue anymore, but this just seems like a bad idea (read it for yourself). Anyway, after Gonzales spent over a year under presidential directive to come up with a plan to fight ID Theft, but completely failed to endorse the one working solution, Gonzales' lack of competence is clear. And that's before I learned about the various allegations of wrong-doing against him.

Have you been targetted by a "takedown" letter threatening you if you didn't take down your posted video? The EFF is looking for you.

Were you or someone you know unfairly caught in Viacom's dragnet? If your video was hit with a bogus takedown, contact information@eff.org -- we may be able to help you directly or help find another lawyer who can. In this situation, as in so many others, EFF will work to make sure that copyright claims don't squelch free speech.
