A Weakened Copyright Thanks to an Old Fogel

No greater example that I can think of comes to mind when photo consultant Leslie Burns-Dell’Acqua (soon to be lawyer!) writes on her blog - It’s not whether you win (8/21/08) - "In law school, one of the very first things they teach you is that the law is not even close to black and white–it’s an interpretation of meanings and previous decisions" than the latest news on the Copyright front smacked down by the judicial fiat of U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel where we copyright owners now have to

(Continued after the Jump)
consider "fair use" before we send a DMCA Takedown Notice to someone for stopping the infringement of our works online.

Wired reports in Judge: Copyright Owners Must Consider 'Fair Use' Before Sending Takedown Notice, 8/210/08:
"In the nation's first such ruling, a federal judge on Wednesday said copyright owners must consider "fair use" of their works before sending takedown notices to online video-sharing sites...The DMCA requires removal of material a rights holder claims is infringing its copyrights. If it isn't removed, legal liability can be placed on YouTube or other video-sharing sites."
See Carolyn Wright's post - Using the DMCA Takedown Notice to Battle Copyright Infringement - 8/1/08 , for more information on how you do that.

This judge's fiat takes the notion of the law not being black or white and makes is fuchsia!

The DMCA gives copyright holders extensive powers without the need for court review. Obviously, such powers need to be exercised with due care, I can't see what's the problem with that. Whether you like it or not, fair-use is an integral part of US copyright law, and the very limited bounds of fair-use are something every copyright holder needs to respect. Copyright is a right, and like all rights it is balanced with responsibilities.

Yep, Gordon's right.

Copyright protection doesn't mean someone else can't ever use any of our content ever. Copyright law does provide for fair-use of content by others, and using the DMCA to go after someone who has made legitimate fair-use use of others' content brings with it penalties of its own.

As long as they stay within the boundaries of fair-use, I'm not seeing the problem here.

A woman had her baby dance to a song that was played on the radio/cd player whatever. It was then claimed, playing this song in the video was copyright infringement.

How on earth do you claim copyright to that when the video is not even ABOUT the music, the music is not offered in any way, or even of a quality that could be re-used ?

It's a freakin baby dancing on music and that is copyright infringement ?

I read several of your other postings in particular about stock photography (Getty images) as well. You sound like the recording industry. Block all progress as much as possible, afraid of new business models, and new ways of generating an income.

Aside from Getty etc. there is also a large website where you can buy 1-3 $ images, made, at times, by professional photographers around the globe.

For many a license fee of a few 100 $ is simply out of the question especially when it is used on a website and you need to replace images every day, or every week. Especially with many of the business models that websites use (advertizing) and that are not yet cash flow positive, let alone profitable.

I think it would behoove the photography organizations to not go the way of the recording (and film) industry, where you shout one thing ("lack of respect" etc) and the rest of the world moves on. Why don't you guys come up with business models, creative models that work.. and that take the internet and a certain commoditization into consideration ?

Using this particular instance as evidence that the ultra-tight copyright laws in the USA (mostly kept in place to protect Disney) are actually too grey, is really loosing it.

I find it interesting, and depressing, how furious photographers are about others "violating their rights" while they blithely ignore the rights of others.

Fair use give RIGHTS to others to use copyright protected works without asking for permission, or paying. When someone sends a take-down notice to a 3rd party alleging a copyright violation when in fact the work was used within the constraints of Fair Use, they are doing the very thing they claim to hate, ignoring the rights and works of others.

I'm also amazed, and depressed, at the number of photographers I've seen use music without paying the appropriate licensing fees. I see professional slideshows set to hot, popular music. The music is being copied and used in a commercial venture, and when I ask the photographer always has some lame excuse like "I bought the CD" to try to justify their copying. This is no different than someone buying a 4x6, then scanning and reprinting it as an 8x10, or using it on their website, or brochures, or 1001 other uses they didn't pay for or license the photo for. Photographers will band together and scream "copyright violation" and "sue the bastard" but then copy and use music as if somehow music isn't protected with the SAME laws.
