[CASL-L] Youtube and copyright

[Barbara Johnson]

Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD!

According to the Copyright and FairUse Guidelines for Teachers http://www.techlearning.com/techlearning/pdf/events/techforum/tx05/teachercopyright_chart.pdf

"Works must be legitimately acquired by the website" meaning, if someone took a video of the latest and greatest movie in the theaters and uploaded it to YouTube... you shouldn't use it... it is still a clear violation of copyright, even if you want to use it for your classroom. But if students created their own parodies or videos, you can view them freely...even share the link... but need to ask permission to download, copy or redistribute.

The advances in technology have moved much faster than changes the laws that govern them, so just because you physically CAN do something...doesn't mean you should.

Respectfully,
Mrs. Barbara Johnson

Hi Dawn,
I'm not sure this answers your question, but I found the following on YouTube itself:

"It is your responsibility to verify that a work is indeed in the public domain before you upload it to YouTube."  So in theory, everything viewed on YouTube is in the public domain and can be viewed.  If YouTube receives a copyright complaint, a video is taken down.

I also found this:
"YouTube cannot grant you the rights to use content that has already been uploaded to the site. If you wish to use someone else's YouTube video, you may want to reach out to them via our messaging feature<https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/57955>."  By "use" they mean take someone's video and use part of it to create your own video.

Hope this helps,

Does anyone have a legitimate source they can share regarding fair use of viewing movies on Youtube? I'm having a discussion later today with a teacher and want to make sure I'm crafting my message correctly. The teacher seems to think that all movies posted on Youtube are fair use and I don't agree, please advise.

Thanks,
