Bonus Blog: Disney Explains It All

I chose this video from YouTube because of its really creative way of explaining what a copyright and fair use is. Instead of merely lecturing, professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University opted to splice Disney animated films together to explain the concepts. It also goes into the detail of using copyrighted materials for parody, critical commentary or its commercial impact. I also found it interesting that he chose to use Disney animations in particular to prove that even a company so "intimidating" in its ownership of its content, fair use would dictate that it still could be used as educational material.
