A video I made - a little Phoenix/brat pack mashup that I made for fun (and later which took on a life of its own) - becomes an example of fair use freedom in this TED Talk (about 4.5 minutes in it really begins).
I think it’s worth sharing today, given Google’s anti-censorship façade regarding SOPA/PIPA. The same Google that permabanned me & froze my gmail account for this fair use which they considered ‘copyright violation.’ Those ‘violations’ which have now been swiped and reuploaded by others. But I’m still banned. What freedom?
So maybe be careful with that Google petition that everyone is linking to today. Go direct to your congressional representatives instead. Don’t rely on a company that values corporate lawyer threats before your freedom to fight your congressional battles.
