copyright assignment


This video is professionally done by the church. The church owns rights to the music, video, and images shown in the movie. This is also posted on the church's official YouTube channel. It would be unlawful for someone to re-post this video online, claiming ownership or editing out the copyright details of the movie.

This video also looks professionally done. The owner of the YouTube channel is the the creator of the movie. She has her website posted and links to other info about her. There really isn't anything that seems to be in violation of copyright laws. There is some music played but it is only clips of a song and less than 10% of the original soundtrack. Also, the teacher probably created the caricature of herself or bought the image and then owns the rights to it. There is a small picture of a Chinese pagoda shown in the video that she doesn't source but I don't know if it's that big of a deal.

The next two videos are actually movies that I have made and posted on YouTube. On both I broke quite a few copyright laws. The first movie I used two songs that I didn't source or have the rights to, and also posted audio from a copyrighted movie. YouTube allows users to use selected songs for movies that don't break copyright laws. I should use those songs provided. The second movie has video I filmed from a Swedish TV program that obviously is copyrighted. I should really never do this again and will work on changing these movies so they follow copyright guidelines.

  1. You found two really good examples, and your analysis of their copyright usage is great. I like how you are applying the copyright laws to your own videos, that's cool! It looks like you're very aware of copyright law (now, haha!). Good job!
