Vidding 2

Vidding is something we so commonly use that most do not even consider that it may be an infringement of intellectual property. I personally don’t see it as infringement if one is not making any money off of it or claiming it to be their own. But I do understand how some creators would be upset if someone was using their work in a different way than intended.
When using material found on the internet, I draw the line at trying to sell or claim someone else’s work as your own. If you are using a song to narrate pictures or a video just for your friends and family I see no problem with that. However, if you are trying to make a profit and claim it to be yours that is where the infringement comes into play.
If you simply state that this is not the original and make that known I think that should cover you. I do not think that you necessarily have to make it so different that it is no longer the same material because then what is the point. As long as you are honest and give credit to the original artist I think it should be ok to do viding.

    Many people have become semi famous from others vidding content that they uploaded or appeared in. A few semi famous people, extra ordinary personalities, that come to mind are the Double Rainbow Guy, aka Yosemitebear, Sweet Brown, and Antoine. Without “vidding” these people would not have had any fame or acknowledgement whatsoever. There is a fine line between copyright infringement and vidding. One factor that I think plays an important role in differentiating the two is if a video is modified from its original version and an artistic twist is added. Art is intellectual property, and by adding your own property to it, makes it your own. The Double Rainbow video is a great example. This video was up on the YouTube sight for quite some time before being discovered by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel who posted a tweet with the YouTube link on his Twitter account. From there the video spread like wildfire and people were interviewing the maker of the, Paul Vasquez a Yosemite Park resident. Three days later, a well-known auto tuner made a remix video with a song out of the double rainbow video. The song was made available on ITunes and the profits are split 50/50 with Paul Vasquez, who made the original video and the remix auto tuner, known by user name schmoyoho.…

    Issues arising in regards to nominal authenticity are also very common among the music industry. Many times, some artist will take other artists music and make it their own. It may simply be the chorus of their song or the melody of the song. Often times, the original artist takes upon legal action and sue the artist whom they believed had replicated their work. Over time, the predicament of forgery and plagiarism leads to the popular display of the label copy right infringement. The copy right infringement is very common in the U.S and is seen on every CD covers or movies we purchase.…

    As technology advances, the internet continues to get more congested with art and images- work from artists and photographers old and new. While the world wide web continuities to be an amazing tool in sharing work, meeting people and learning new things- it can also be somewhat destructive in terms of copyright and appropriation. In this day in age where the world is full of so many diverse styles of artists, the entire new age art industry is being challenged with the simple statement: “everything has been done”. Due to this unfortunately true fact that relevance in the art industry is loosely based on the creation of “new”, never-been-done-before work, “appropriation art” has become an interesting new form of work that many artists and art enthusiasts have different opinions on. One of the most well-known appropriation artists to reference to is Andy Warhol. While Warhol started the conversation about…

    The risks of downloading music from the Internet include spyware, viruses, hackers, and possible invasion of personal information, such as your birth date and social security number. Although these risks may be present, a good percentage of people buy and download music from the internet. When these people download music, they can infringe on the copyright laws of works by composers or artists. The previously stated people infringe upon the copyright laws of the artist by downloading the work without compensating or crediting the artist. Without compensation, the artist will feel like he or she is producing music for nothing, and nobody likes to work for nothing. Everybody wants to make a profit for the time and effort they put into their work. Downloading music from the Internet is a great way for people to acquire the selected songs they want without paying for the songs they do not want. One example of this is a 12 year old boy is paid a weekly allowance of $5 and has a list of his favorite songs. He goes to a music store and sees a CD of the band that is at the top of his list. The CD costs $15 and has only 2 songs he likes. He spots another band’s CD, and it is also $15, but it has 3 of the songs on his list. The advantage downloading the same songs from the Internet is that this boy has the ability to pay for all 5 songs on his list without paying for songs that he does not like. By selecting the songs he wants, the boy has more space to buy more songs and because he is able to buy more songs, he is exposed to…
