The copyright loophole more movies should use
It is important to consider that I’m not a lawyer and Matt Johnson does work with one. If you use copyrighted material in your work, I’d recommend reading the fair use laws. They may be called something else depending on where you live.

    I'm not a lawyer, but I did study copyright law a bit for my masters in arts admin. I'm sorry to say, this does not match my understanding of fair use. You do not need a strong narrative reason for including copyright protected material. It just needs to be transformative. The problem, as others have mentioned, is that our legal system is structured to benefit the giant multi-national corporations that have consolidated huge swaths of pop culture IP. Film makers don't avoid using copyright protected IP in their films because it's illegal. They avoid it because they could get sued by a giant IP troll and run out of money before they were able to prove what they did was legal. It's never a question of what is legal. It's always a question of how much risk you are willing to take on.

    When they take a foreign movie and try to make a remake they just always forget that the charm of the initial culture and the authenticity of their vision were the things that gave the movie that unique aura in the first place.

    Be really careful with using fair use. It’s a defense. It doesn’t allow you to just do whatever you want. Chris Perez is one of the leading and practicing attorneys on copyright fair use. If you’re interested in working with them, their firm is called Kallif, Donaldson, and Perez.

    I think something very important has been left out, which is why most movies don't take advantage of this: it's meant for educational works only. The "transformative" and "integral to the story" parts of the requirements are referring to works communicating a specific piece of information or history in which said copyrighted works absolutely have to be mentioned in order to explain said information or event. The movies mentioned in the video are documentaries or at least dramatization/fictionizations of real events. Any form of fiction that isn't based strictly around a real person/event is practically incapable of using fair use for the simple fact that how integral something is to the work is up to the author, and since it isn't real or based on anything real, the court, and whoever is the proper owner, can argue that it isn't integral and you can simply write it out. And as plenty of other comments have already stated, fair use isn't a guarantee, and depends on the court's interpretation. Yeah its a long paragraph... I liked this video, it explained everything quite well (and in a short concise amount of time).But I think it failed to explain exactly why fair use isn't used more, which is something I think should have been brought up. TL;DR: Most movies don't use fair use because fair use is meant primarily for a specific category of movie, and in many instances fair use isn't even guaranteed to work.

    • @avrilayers
      @avrilayers 12 годин тому

      this comment is all just completely incorrect. parodies like the music of Weird Al and Scary Movie are able to use copyrighted work because of fair use, and they are in no way educational. fair use has four components, and one of those is the purpose for using copyrighted work. in many cases, a derivative work being educational is a use purpose that can be used to argue fair use, but there are plenty of reasons for using a copyrighted work that are acceptable for totally different reasons.

    • @generalstaal7075
      @generalstaal7075 10 годин тому

      @@avrilayers Thanks for bringing up those examples, I completely forgot about parodies. They're able to fall under fair use not because of being informative, but by being an example of using free-speech (conveying its creator's thoughts and opinions on a specific subject). I'm not sure whether it comes across this way or not, but I don't believe education is the one and only way to use fair use, but I believe it is the primary type of work (along with parody) that can actually justify its need in the court of law. I would like to ask (and I'm not asking to debate or anything): What other reasons, besides education and parody, have people managed to use copyrighted material and have it fall under fair use? It genuinely intrigues me. Thus far, the two already mentioned above were the only ones I ever came across.

    The problem is, none of this guarantees the filmmakers stay out of court. Even if your fair use case is rock solid, any one of those IP holders can still decide to take you to court. And if their pockets are deeper than yours they could easily crush you financially while still losing the case.

    Companys can still sue you though, or threaten to do so, and you will never have enough money to argue that what you did is fair use. It's completely useless. The argument at the end makes no sense. Fair use doesn't force filmmakers to make interesting art, the threat of violence copyright law poses didn't make the movie good, the commentary on culture and authentic depiction of it did. We would have more of these stories if you didn't have to write them with a lawyer or fear being sued for millions and having your life ruined. Copyright is the enemy of art and must go, culture belongs to all of us, not a few billionaires.
