What is 'fair use' in online video mashups?
The US based 'Center for Social Media' has just released guidelines that will be of interest to anyone in the online media and video mashups world about what exactly is 'fair use' under copyright law. The WorldTV Site Blog has more.
In other news, the doomsday scenarios of the Internet running out of capacity due to online video are (in this writers opinion) overblown, and some 'counter' news on the subject is probably overdue. This article talks about the plans to lay many more undersea cables in the next couple of years.
If you've enjoyed this post you can receive future musings, as I write them, via email. I post about once a week on average. More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
