I have been looking into copyright laws for the last year. I am creative in many forms including art, voices, youtube videos, stories, sculptures, crochet and nameless other creations...
I have been struggling to understand the fine line of fair use. I've just read that NET thing that you had a link for and I find that quite a relief, but then also troubling...
There are countless youtubers (probably mostly kids) who use screen recording devices to copy video from other user's channels and even DVD's. They then mix it up on their own videos. They have not added anything to the copyrighted works except other copyrighted works and some musical piece. They call it a form of creative expression as an excuse to upload it to youtube.
Are they allowed to do that? If so, then it inhibits my creative expression, so I would say it is not allowed. What do you think about that situation?
