Copyright and fair use concept JibJab, a small animation site, is running an animation that mocks President Bush and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry. The wildly popular cartoon may be goofy, but the legal wrangling about it is becoming a serious and important test of artists' fair-use rights in the digital age<...>Ludlow Music, which owns Guthrie's copyright to the song, threatened to sue JibJab Media, which created the animation. But attorneys for JibJab struck first, filing a lawsuit last week in U.S. District Court in Northern California that asks a judge to declare that This Land does not violate copyright<...>Fair use permits a creator to use someone else's work without permission from the owner. When evaluating fair use, courts consider four criteria, case by case: whether the new creative work has commercial purposes, how much of the original material the new work uses, how the new work affects the market value of the original, and the nature of the original.Free animation/ссылки - спасибо добрым людям/ |
