The context, without going into detail, is using a movie-clip with added animation (manually cut in), to help support a commentary point; such as putting someone's head on a copyrighted character in a movie to help illustrate the concept. Is that fair use?

Hi

If I was to create a game of some sort which would eventually go on sale on steam could I use a single image from a movie under fair use or parody laws?

​

Specifically I have in mind, using an image from Anchor man of Will Ferrel aka Ron Burgundy reading the news on a tv in the background of scene.

​

Having him as the newscaster instead of some custom created npc for that would be funny imo and a nod to an enjoyable movie from my younger days.

​

I would repeat that a few times over the course of the game, like 3-4 tops with the news on in the background and 1 scene where the main cast pays attention to story as the news report at the point would be advancing the plot, but over all the use would be probably 1% of the total game, if that even.

Hey guys,

I'm a filmmaker, and I was wondering whether fair use transfers across when referencing the fair use media, for instance if I was to get the rights from someone commenting on something in a fair use manner, a youtube video or educational video, and use that footage in my movie, would their original fair use usage of material transfer across?

Any help/thoughts appreciated!

Hi, I am a beginner blogger creating educational videos. I have seen many videos where teachers use excerpts from films in their videos. I wonder whether I can do the same - use extracts from films that have been in the public domain for 20 years or so to illustrate my point? Or is it not good practice?

Anyone have recommendation for a software or service to monitor the internet for a companies digital intellectual property? Example forms include digital book content, videos, or PDF documents.

Hello, recently for a class of mine we had to host an event that was for the community. We decided to host a free girls youth basketball camp. For this camp, my group collaborated with the University's Women's Basketball team. On the poster/flier that went out to the newspaper, we had our club logo and school logo on it.

Our event was shut down 48 hours before tipoff after two months of work. One reason being the incorrect use of the schools logo.

My question is since we are all former athletes (played all four years) and current students (5th years) at the same university, would this still be considered trademark infringement or incorrect use of the trademark?

I received a copyright strike on this video i made.

I don't think I need to worry about it because my channel is very new and it's not monetized.

But I would like to know if this counts as fair use. I used 2 verses from the DMX song Where the Hood At and added my own video to it,framing the verses in a specific context to highlight the humour.

If it is not fair use perhaps I won't make any more of these types of videos
