- copyrights and trademarks
- Posted by Michele Tavares on June 29th, 2003
Isn't it illegal for someone to take clips of a popular movie (like
HArry Potter), use the clips and make your own dialogue, then release
it online ?
I recently saw this atrocious piece of garbage on a short film site
that had numerous copyright violations (including music, movie, and TV
clips).
It's hard enough to get movies made, but to have someone ripping off
stuff for their own gain is pretty unethical.
If anyone is watching - go sick www.7mpictures.com - they are
stealing, and it's time someone made them pay.

With all due respect, do it yourself by sending a complaint to
hotline@mpaa.org
(from http://www.mpaa.org/anti-piracy/ )

It depends. Parody is a fair use defense to infringement, but has fairly
strict and arcane requirements.

But permissible pursuant to the AHRA.
Fair use as a matter of law per Sony v. Universal.
On that one you're right -- the copyright statute authorizes a single
archival copy of software, but it cannot be transferred to anyone else.

These things you listed are technically illegal, but I guess it's
putting clips from a major movie on your production company's website
& then promoting it for financial gain that poses a slightly bigger
problem....

I'm not aware of a "definitive source" that corrects erroneous information,
urbran myths, etc. I'm an intellectual property lawyer, and I'm telling
you -- the DMCA did not "repeal" fair use or the AHRA.

As long as he is not as redundant as his statement to your inaccuracy.
"Completely and totally wrong" is less a polite response, and a more 'in
your face' response than just using one of those adjectives.

Look me up.
As for backing up my statement, I told you: there's no way to prove a
negative when the negative is a silly mistatement of law.

you, an alleged lawyer, can't even put forward your own case? You
dont/wont/can't state your sources to back up your arguement ? You have a
strange way of debating

Jim, you're right. I think it's a character flaw that I have (along with
modesty).

I would find it difficult to trust a lawyer that gave advice over
Usenet. Would you? Even if he did, it would likely not be
particularly applicable in Austrailia.
