Disney characters explain the basics of copyright law and fair use

By Colin

Do you have burning questions about copyright law, the public domain, or fair use? I didn’t think so.

Be that as it may, the following video, created by Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University and hosted on Stanford Law’s Center for Internet and Society Web site, elucidates the basics of copyright in very clever way.

Bear in mind that Disney, not wanting to lose copyright on that famous mouse of theirs, has been a driving force behind changes/updates in copyright law (like the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act). You can read more about that here and here.

Enjoy.
