The channels in which films are uploaded tend to be smaller channels. If there was a deal between a production company and a Youtuber the production company wouldn't look to smaller channels. Why wouldn't they make a deal with the more popular and famous channels if they really wanted a deal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715335184192862938.post-70157143384253374642015-03-02T06:25:59.674-08:002015-03-02T06:25:59.674-08:00I like your "pin" idea.

I believe this because today we live in a society that is very power hungry and wants every dollar they can get so I understand why companies are using Content ID. On the other hand I believe Mr. Witte is definitely within his right when having us the students and himself break copyright for educational purposes as Copyright Law of the United States says that we are obligated to using. I believe that the problem is just and lack of communication between our government and the our corporations such as Youtube and Soundcloud. What we need is for our government to give our educational instructor’s a set pin or password of some kind that changes each year, and with this pin or password have the ability to enter it into youtube or soundcloud before the work is posted on the web so that these companies know its for educational use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715335184192862938.post-24777364403563853162015-03-02T06:23:05.968-08:002015-03-02T06:23:05.968-08:00Youtube receives visits from many people and there...Youtube receives visits from many people and there are many companies that want to advertise on youtube.

In some ways these powers can be abused depending on what materials are being copyrighted, for example last year a youtube game reviewer named John "Totalbiscuit" Bain was asked by a company to review their game. He did and he gave it an accurate and poor review. The company that made the game had the video of the review taken down even though Totalbiscuit had direct permission from them. So i believe that Youtube's system is quite often and quite easily abused in the cases of many types of content. Soundcloud's system seems a lot more extreme but more accurate in what stays and what goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715335184192862938.post-38861053973473741132015-03-02T06:09:22.452-08:002015-03-02T06:09:22.452-08:00Wouldn't it be nice if Youtube would certify t...Wouldn't it be nice if Youtube would certify teachers and students to upload under a "Fair Use" license much like they have a Creative Commons license?

One of the reasons I don't like to use them is that I feel they are not "the real world" like Youtube or Soundcloud are.

I think that it is a good thing that there is the fair use policy, because sometimes us as students use original pieces of music for example and get flagged at a copy right even though we are just trying to do the assignment that we were instructed to do. So while I was reading through this article all of these thoughts were popping into my head. I know that this law is put in place to protect the original owners and I understand that, but at the same time it can be frustrating to a student or teacher when they are trying to do things specifically for a class only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
