Remix Culture: Fair Use Is Your Friend
The Center for Social Media has released a companion video to illustrate the concepts contained in its Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video.
Like the code, the video identifies six kinds of unlicensed uses of copyrighted material that may be considered fair, under certain limitations. They are:
-
Commenting or critiquing of copyrighted material,
-
Use for illustration or example,
-
Incidental or accidental capture of copyrighted material,
-
Memorializing or rescuing of an experience or event,
-
Use to launch a discussion, and
-
Recombining to make a new work, such as a mashup or a remix, whose elements depend on relationships between existing works
