This video is a very good example of how copyright and fair use work. It is an excellent TED talk about how one of the biggest video sites in the world handles monitoring for copyright issues and what they constitute as fair use. They also give a great explanation about how someone can use a song in a homemade video and the people/person that owns the rights to the music let them post the video and use it to get credit towards something else that can help earn them money. The example shown in the video is Sony. 

I chose this film because it explained it in very simple terms and gave great examples that everyone could understand and learn from. It also explained it using major company’s names so that it was possible for anyone to know whom they were talking about. The recording was most useful because sometimes copyright laws and fair use can get very confusing and they break it down, so all intelligence levels can understand. 

Overall, I watched a few different copyright videos however, I felt like this one gave the best description and detailed examples so that everyone could follow. I also felt like it was a good length so that it did not get repetitive or boring but covered all the basis and was clear and precise. Some of the other videos were too much of a cartoon and the examples they gave were not ones that were as easy to understand or follow. The main deciding factor was that this video was presented by TED talk and they are a reputable source.

Reflections             Initially the topic I chose was intellectual freedom which I believed would be an easy topic because there is such a discussion surrounding it currently. However, one of the first things that I learned was that there is such a blur between copyright laws, intellectual freedom, and fair use that sometimes it is hard to keep it all straight. The man issue I was looking at when I started my blog was the hard line or use and receiving credit for your creation and where does it become a legal issue. One example for me was my friend painted some blue birds and she claimed it just was the birds and nature. Well she was selling her art work in a little boutique and someone who worked at Painting with a Twist saw it and said her art work was too close to the one that did at their store. They sent her a letter saying she couldn’t sell that painting. However, when does that encroach on her intellectual freedom to c...

The Ethics of Open Access and Copyright Infringement This research article was looking at the ethics of opening research scholarly journals to be open access and the companies that hold the copyrights to them which can change and prevent people from being able to see the research articles. It also looks at the reason that many companies do hold the copyrights so close and take advantage of them. This article is trying to prove about how open access to all scholarly journals could benefit society and their research and learning efforts. The article also addresses how research is slow because they don’t believe that many researchers understand what open access is all about. The IAD framework i...
