-
0:45 - 0:50(Book cover with "Copyright Law")
-
0:50 - 0:56(Book opens: "Chapter 1: Copyright Definition")
-
0:56 - 0:57(Cartoon characters speak in turn)
-
0:57 - 1:00What the heck is copyright?
-
1:00 - 1:01What?
-
1:01 - 1:03Hey, what the heck is copy copy copy
-
1:03 - 1:05go to the right, right right right right
-
1:05 - 1:08It's that law that's the problem.
-
1:08 - 1:09You know the law!
-
1:09 - 1:11That stupid law!
-
1:11 - 1:13Hey! What the heck is copyright?
-
1:13 - 1:15I'll tell you!
-
1:15 - 1:20Copyright is a permanently affixed original mark.
-
1:20 - 1:21What?!
-
1:21 - 1:25a permanently fixed original mark.
-
1:25 - 1:27In some form
-
1:27 - 1:32that can be seen or heard
-
1:32 - 1:34Oooh
-
1:34 - 1:36Now listen, this is important:
-
1:36 - 1:44only the copyright owner has the right to use their work
-
1:45 - 1:49It's mine!
-
1:49 - 1:51How can that be?
-
1:51 - 1:52That's not fair!
-
1:52 - 2:02It's forbidden to use a copyright work without permission granted by the copyright owner.
-
2:02 - 2:09And - and everybody who's fool enough to threaten our copyright has broken the law.
-
2:09 - 2:15Aren't we forgetting one teensy weensy but ever so crucial tiny detail?
-
2:15 - 2:20You'd better be able to pay for that copyright permission!
-
2:20 - 2:24We haven't discused the subject of payment.
-
2:24 - 2:26And you can't get something for nothing, you know?
-
2:26 - 2:28But I don't have -
-
2:28 - 2:32I'm not asking much; just a token, really, a trifle!
-
2:32 - 2:34Hold on! Back up! Are you saying
-
2:34 - 2:36this is about money?
-
2:36 - 2:39I'm sorry Sir, I don't have any money.
-
2:39 - 2:40This is extortion!
-
2:40 - 2:43I prefer the term "capitalist"
-
2:43 - 2:49Hear this sound? It's the sound of your freedom fluttering out the window.
-
2:49 - 2:56(Chapter 2: What things can be copyrighted?)
-
2:56 - 2:58Well, there's the usual things, like:
-
2:58 - 3:01(Books) I'll borrow this one.
-
3:01 - 3:02(Plays)
-
3:04 - 3:06(Music)
-
3:06 - 3:08(Dance)
-
3:08 - 3:10(Movies and Pictures) (Unintelligible mumbling)
-
3:10 - 3:13On 3! 1, 2.... (Gasp!)
-
3:13 - 3:15No,no,no, wait!
-
3:15 - 3:17Listen carefully
-
3:17 - 3:20You can't copyright an idea.
-
3:20 - 3:20Yes, I can
-
3:20 - 3:21You can't.
-
3:21 - 3:21Yes.
-
3:21 - 3:24can -can't - can - cant!
-
3:24 - 3:26But why?
-
3:26 - 3:27Culture.
-
3:27 - 3:33It would be unwise to limit the power of a great idea.
-
3:33 - 3:39So we can only copyright the form an idea takes.
-
3:39 - 3:42But what does have that to do with me?
-
3:42 - 3:45No no, he's got a point.
-
3:45 - 3:52(Chapter 3: Copyright Duration & the Public Domain)
-
3:52 - 3:59The law says copyright only lasts for a fixed amount of time.
-
3:59 - 4:08For example, copyright used to last just 14 years.
-
4:10 - 4:11What?!
-
4:11 - 4:16Copyright used to last only 14 years.
-
4:16 - 4:20We know - You know - I know -
-
4:20 - 4:21I got it
-
4:21 - 4:22I got the concept
-
4:23 - 4:28A culture - culture - that was long enough for a copyright owner
-
4:28 - 4:33to make money from their work.
-
4:33 - 4:36Ohh!
-
4:37 - 4:44After just 14 years, that work fell into the public domain.
-
4:44 - 4:47So anyone could use the work.
-
4:47 - 4:52Hey, what the heck is the Public Domain?
-
4:52 - 4:58(Silence ) ...Anyone? [someone coughs]
-
4:58 - 5:05The Public Domain is a disgrace to the forces of evil!
-
5:05 - 5:07What are you saying, exactly?
-
5:07 - 5:14A work in the public domain is free for anyone to use.
-
5:14 - 5:16Can you do that?
-
5:16 - 5:21Yes. It's essential, because a culture creates new ideas
-
5:21 - 5:24by building on earlier works.
-
5:24 - 5:33Ah! So the Public Domain is necessary for a living, thriving society.
-
5:33 - 5:34Duh.
-
5:34 - 5:39Unfortunately, copyright keeps getting longer
-
5:39 - 5:46and there seems to be no limitation on how long copyright lasts.
-
5:46 - 5:49It's called a cruel irony.
-
5:49 - 5:58For example [coughs] copyright now lasts a lifetime plus 70 years. Years?!
-
5:58 - 6:04And for a company, copyright lasts over a hundred years
-
6:04 - 6:09So copyright lasts more like forever.
-
6:09 - 6:14But this is just - oh my, would you explain how ridiculous this is?
-
6:14 - 6:17It's totally preposterous!
-
6:19 - 6:25(Chapter 4: Fair Use)
-
6:25 - 6:28Hey, what the heck is Fair Use?
-
6:28 - 6:30so you might want to remind me again.
-
6:30 - 6:32Hey what the heck is fair use?
-
6:32 - 6:38[underwater noises]
-
6:38 - 6:43This might sound crazy, but there, there are limitations on Copyright.
-
6:43 - 6:46(Everyone gasps)
-
6:46 - 6:48Is this possible?!
-
6:48 - 6:55Yes. Copyright may be broken, but it's slippery [giggles]
-
6:55 - 7:02You can borrow a small amount of a copyright work
-
7:02 - 7:03to:
-
7:03 - 7:06(Teach) I'm gonna teach that guy a lesson.
-
7:06 - 7:09(News Reporting) "to be believed there has been a child security breach"
-
7:09 - 7:13(Parody) "From the lamp, right here for your very much wish fulfillment."
-
7:13 - 7:16(Critical Comment) It is my professional opinion that now is the time...
-
7:16 - 7:21But how do I know if it's fair use?
-
7:21 - 7:26There are certain rules that demonstrate fair use.
-
7:26 - 7:32(NATURE) OK, first of all, it's the nature of the work borrowed.
-
7:32 - 7:37(Amount) Second of all, it's the amount you borrowed.
-
7:37 - 7:41(Commercial impact) Oh, and there is one more thing.
-
7:41 - 7:47It has to be something that doesn't change the original work's value
-
7:47 - 7:49in the market place.
-
7:49 - 7:52Attention, everyone! This is important.
-
7:52 - 7:59It's like I always say: Fair Use is not a right
-
7:59 - 8:01but, but, what is it?
-
8:01 - 8:07Fair Use is only a legal defensible position.
-
8:07 - 8:10And this is not fair!
-
8:10 - 8:17(Chapter 5: Why use Disney Cartoons?)
-
8:18 - 8:23Because this company - company - company - company
-
8:23 - 8:28is intimidating anybody who takes a copyright work.
-
8:28 - 8:30If you're going to threaten me, do it properly!
-
8:30 - 8:35The point is, if Fair Use actually works,
-
8:35 - 8:41then movies like this one will have legal protection.
-
8:41 - 8:46And that concludes our broadacast day,
-
8:46 - 8:47(Static)
-
8:47 - 8:49What was that?
-
8:49 - 8:51I have no idea.
