Walt Disney Case Summary
My client, professor Faden is not guilty of copyright infringement. If anything Disney is most known for suing many people because of “copyright infringement.” My client has not used the material used from Disney to sell or affect the market of Disney in any way at all. Instead he has used the acceptable and fair use terms. Such as using it to educate people about copyright, its terms and also how to prevent infringement. He shows chapter after chapter each subject of copyright and fair use. My clients does in fact mash up different clips of the Disney films but he doesn't use it for commercial use or entertainment. Mr Fadden's film is used more to inform than to entertain. The fair use trail even tells what copyright is …show more content…
Also it was considered a parody and commentary. Since they were making fun of them and making a comment and not selling or entertainment. A similar case like this one is the Fisher V Dees trial in which the work was altered by lyrics and also 6 bars of music. It was only 29 seconds long and was considered transformative and did not affect the original work.This case was fair use since it was parody and noncommercial use. Even this case used more of the original work than my client did. One final case that hasn't been too long ago is the Ethan and Hila Klein case in. In this the two youtubers made a parody in which it comments on the hoss video. They transformed it into a funny video and only took a small portion to complete it. This work was not a substitute market video for the original one. As the same in our case my client only used, the amount specified in the fair use rules, needed to prove his statement and educate. Not only does the short film pass the requirements for fair use. It also shows a planned out short film that informs you about copyright. So this is why my client Mr Fadden is not guilty in infringement of any Disney

    We all know, or at least hear about, Disney’s relationship with copyright, and how they refuse to let anyone touch their work. The character Mickey Mouse alone has lasted 87 years with a copyright over its head. Disney doesn’t want anyone to use their work under any circumstances. Although there is a brave man, who goes by the name of Mr. Faden, who used the loophole in the system in order to educate others in the most ironic way. This paper is discussing the court case of Mr. Faden’s remix “Fair(y) Use Tale” vs. Walt Disney. Mr. Faden’s remix is an educational video about the rules and laws of copyright and how it works, but the entire is told through clips of Disney movies.

    I will be defending Professor Faden. Disney is trying to sue Faden by saying that he was copyrighting his work, and how it’s not fair use. I think that it is fair use because, he was using it for education purposes, non-commercial purposes, and parody. Also he was only using small portions of Walt Disney’s work. How the judges decides that the work is copyright infringement or fair use is by, the transformative factor. The transformative factor is uses of a source's in a completely new and unexpected way. The judges also decide by the nature of the work. The nature of the work is how it benefits the public. They also decide by the amount and the sustainability of the work. The amount and sustainability of the work is how much of the work is…

    Kids across the world have all admired the stories of Walt Disney. The multiple full-length featured films were conveniently put on VHS and DVD for the young ones to watch the stories whenever he or she pleases. Sounds great right? What people don’t realize is that there are more to these tales than what one sees at a glance. The majority of these movies have strong undertones and your children are watching these films over and over again. What are children really watching? To be more specific, the Disney 1937 flick Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is much more than a young girl singing to happy hygienic forest friends. There are multiple religious signs in…

    There are always many sides of the story. People always tend to recreate their own story. Disney has been part of many childhoods. As I remember every kid wanted to be a prince or princess like the character of a Disney movie they watched. Disney was part of my childhood, it made me laugh, brought joy, sadness and memories I can never forget. When a Disney movie was on TV, I could not take my eyes off it. I had a set schedule from 6 pm to 8 pm in the evening was when the cartoons would be playing on a local channel. And they would always play a Walt Disney cartoon. My favorite was Pluto short films, because I always wanted a dog but couldn’t have one. Disney brought kids dream into a screen, created a character that reflects who you are.…

    I also believe that Disney is only entertainment. If it was half as bad as Fowl has made it out to be, parents that showed these so called bad movies to their children would have realized it already and put a stop to it. The point is that it is up to the parent to show it to their children and yet Disney is still so big and still watched by so many,…

    4. No I don’t believe Disney is an appropriate choice for examining corporate media power, there are much better choices than a children’s movie making company. I believe that people will try to find excuses for everything and blow stuff way out of proportion, especially feminists and racial activists. They were meant to be movies for children, not meant to exploit the children’s beliefs about females and other races.…
