How is appropriating an image without consent fair use?
De minimis doesn't exist anymore in copyright, so you are claiming personal use and that is ok to not pay the original artist?
Huh? Fair use doesn't require consent. You are very confused.
So your proof that I'm "regularly proven wrong" is to say click where it says "profile" next to my name and read my "BS." Convincing!
And, yeah, copyright is so hard! I mean, how could one ever figure out what their license permits? Certainly, one should just go to the ASCAP homepage and assume that they're covered. That's what any "professional" would do, right?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Professionals should know
Yeah, trying to figure out whether you can use a copyrighted recording without permission in your commercial video is tough stuff. Copyright is hard! OMG!
And really, I'm "regularly proven wrong"? Links please.
So, my knowledge of their ignorance of the content of the bill is first hand. I never said that was true of all supporters (nice of Average_joe to just make that bit up).
You said: "there are plenty of out-of-touch Senators, who don't even realize what's in the bill and what its likely impact will be." Obviously you are referring to the bill's supporters, because I can't for one second believe you would say anything bad about someone who was against the bill.
But I can confirm that there are definitely sponsors who don't know what's in the bill.
Name one. And by "know what's in the bill," you mean "don't agree with your take on the bill," right?
But for clarification, do you have any evidence that Mike is just making stuff up? Any tangible proof to show he is incorrect and posting false information?
LOL! Of course he's making it up. How in the world could he possibly know which Senators have read the bill and which ones have not? He can't and he doesn't. And Mike makes up stuff like this with alarming frequency. It's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Dude, I am neither of those. I don't believe copyright should be abolished, it just needs to be dragged into the 21st century and the bargain between creators and the public needs to be adjusted for fairness.
Fair enough. Sorry if I "broad-brushed" you.
As for my comment, you missed the point, I was indicating that you feel using a copyrighted image is fair use, but someone using a song to augment a video is obviously infringement (and basically calling them stupid for doing so).
I don't have all the facts, but it appears they were using a copyrighted song for a commercial purpose (promoting the camp). There's not a strong fair use argument there.
Congratulations, you are officially a troll. Two ad homs in not even 5 comments on the article. You're on a roll, Joe.
LOL! How do you explain Mike's unsupported claim that certain Senators don't "even realize what's in the bill"? Do you think that unsubstantiated claim is Mike being "honest" or "accurate"? I don't. And Mike makes up stuff like that all the time. I'm simply pointing out that Mike plays fast and loose with the facts in his desperate attempts to manipulate his readers. What you call "ad homs" I call pointing out a liar for being a liar.
Ad hominem? Hardly. Do you think Mike actually knows for a fact that these Senators do not "even realize what's in the bill," or do you think Mike is just making it up? Seems obvious to me that it's the latter. And making up stuff is a sign of desperation.
Um, consent doesn't have to be in writing (there is no writing requirement for a nonexclusive license). Moreover, I don't need consent to exercise my fair use/personal use rights. But other than that, you're totally correct.

How is making up a fact the same thing as "expressing his opinion"? You can't just make up lies and then say "opinion!" Give me a break.
