But as long the corporation owning these copyrights go after the providers, after the illegal organizations, we can, and should, all support them. It's when they go after the little guy, the 'top 5 moment of Pulp Fiction', the 'best 10 movie lines of all times' or 'critical review of Fox' they crossed a line. We look, we watch, we use. Try to see the difference between exploit and fun.

Mar 20, 2009 - this is the era to get rid of the huge corporations that just try to get rich off of artists, where the artists get 1 dollar an album and the industry gets 14 dollars. FREE THE MUSIC!

AVTPro Says:

Mar 20, 2009 - If an artist is inspired by another and makes money by that inspiration...why not a kick back ??? And why if someone records a video of a song they paid for and dance to it, Youtube will take it down. Artist making money show very little intrgrity or creativity.

Mar 21, 2009 - This is an issue that comes up alot on DeviantART. Fan art is fine, as long as the artist acknowledges that it's not their idea. Art thieves are terrible, but it's worse when a company tries to make a profit from it. Hot Topic stole one of my friend's designs and sold it on a shirt.

Mar 21, 2009 - I used to work in digital/video copyright enforcement. I can vouch for what he's saying about Viacom and some other companies. If you straight-up jack a Colbert show clip they'll find it immediately and remove it. Trust me on that, I was one of the ppl doing it, and I was DAMN GOOD at my job. But if you're even remotely transformative, they wont touch it. Free advertising for them, and you've respected their ownership over the product. Other companies, however, like Fox... Nazis.

Mar 21, 2009 - Stealing from the 'little guy' by the 'big guy' has always gone on. That's never been a discussion.

Let's crucify any offenders wwho piss off the people in power in the slightest way even if it isn't against the law! That's where you draw the line!

Apr 2, 2009 - interesting talk. This is not so much of a well informing debate, as the sneery laughter, that came from the host of this talk after the mention of free market, clearly exposes this. But, due to the concerns and ideas voiced by the two artists, it is well worth a view.

Jun 9, 2009 - I think people confuse stealing with remixing. Remixing is interpreting art in your own way. My hobby is art, I'm fully aware as creative person that if I put my work out there in public it could possibly be interpreted in another way. Stealing, on the other hand is taking something from someone CLAIMING it as theirs. There shouldn't be any problems as long as one person acknowledges the others' work.

Jun 9, 2009 - I don't think anyone in their right mind sides with bootleggers. But, copyright as it is can kiss my ass! Corporations have lost the war in the age of the Internet copyright laws are the only things giving them life support!
