.TV interview with Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff: Fair Use, Parody and the Web.
A few weeks ago, at the BlogWorld 2011 conference, I gave an interview to my good friend Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff of .TV. We discussed the Fair Use defense to copyright infringement.
The angles aren’t particularly flattering, but here’s the video:
Why the distinction between “new” media and “traditional” media is pointless, and a little dangerous.
Since the development of the Internet and the World-Wide-Web, there’s been this peculiar distinction between “old”, or “traditional” or “mainstream” media and the “new” forms such as blogs, podcasts, Internet radio, and video sharing, such as seen on services like YouTube. It’s time we all stopped thinking this way. As the “new” media have taken root, and as the masses have adopted the Internet as their primary source for news and entertainment, these distinctions no longer make much sense. The Internet and Web have become the mainstream. Print, Radio and Television are rapidly becoming outlyers.
What, after all, is the REAL difference between an article printed in an old-style newspaper or magazine, and one published on a web-page or blog? The only real difference (leaving aside qualitative questions for a moment) is the means of distribution.

We talk about the many different legal issues surrounding podcasting and podcasters including copyright, fair use, model releases and much more. Do you know your rights if your original content is taken and used without your permission or violates the copyright you have in place? What can you do to make sure you are getting proper credit for your content? In our discussion, I offer some advice about how to approach such situations from both a formal (drop some legal forms on ‘em) and informal (ask nicely) perspective
