Center for Social Media’s Guide to Fair Use in Online VideoFrom centerforsocialmedia.org.Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video
This is a guide to current acceptable practices, drawing on the actual activities of creators, as discussed among other places in the study Recut, Reframe, Recycle: Quoting Copyrighted Material in User-Generated Video and backed by the judgment of a national panel of experts. It also draws, by way of analogy, upon the professional judgment and experience of documentary filmmakers, whose own code of best practices has been recognized throughout the film and television businesses.

A wealth of good information presented in a timely and user friendly manner.
Very informative and useful. Thanks to author. I think, it’s one of the main problems as well as perspective for moviemaker to post their on-line video.
On the other hand, internet becomes more freedom box, then beloning to law restriction.
Just wait a couple of years and internet will be all controlled respecting the copyright!
Copyright laws have on the whole been slow in reconciling the advancement of online technology. This spans everything from the early days of Napster to current trademark infringement cases and even the Anti Cyber Squatting Act that was passed several years ago. I’m not sure it will ever be that easy to enforce copyright laws online. Yes they will always be legally enforced but the deterrent effect of such laws appears to be dwindling.
