Elisa Kreisinger on Fair Use(r): Art and Copyright Online
This starts with a couple of examples of her pop culture mashup/remixes, both of which I found piteously boring (yep, there’s me being an art critic without the attitude, paying my dues, or any training…) if you want to skip past that to the actual discussion, move the slider to ~ 14 minutes in.
With the democratization of content creation came the democratization of the overzealous copyright claim. Do private agreements between copyright holders and hosting platforms such as YouTube’s Content ID system compromise artist’s fair use rights?
In this open discussion Elisa Kreisinger — Brooklyn-based video artist and artist-in-residence at Public Knowledge — invites artists, users, and lawyers to share their copyright experiences with hosting platforms, and debate the future of distributing digital arts works online.
