Rather, such motions usually try to challenge the facts of the case and H3H3 has a different target, the copyright registration.In this video I break down the arguments behind the motion dismiss and take a quick look at the likelihood of their success.DocumentsMotion to Dismiss: plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/motiontodismiss.pdfEthan Klein's Statement: plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/ethanstatement.pdfMichael Lee's Statement: plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/michaelleestatement.pdfMemo in Support: plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/memoinsupport.pdfPrevious VideosUnderstanding the H3H3 Lawsuit: youtube.com/watch?v=seKPGhIVqnACould H3H3 Lose?: youtube.com/watch?v=3_K6qZzxaUIOriginal H3H3 Video: youtube.com/watch?v=fEGVOysbC8w
Understanding Capitol Records v. Vimeo Jonathan Bailey 2016-06-20 | While much of YouTube was distracted by lawsuits involving H3H3 and other YouTubers, another lawsuit with potentially serious consequences was ongoing and recently saw a major ruling. That lawsuit: Capitol Records v. VimeoThough Vimeo is not YouTube the questions that this lawsuit raised are serious and could have a direct impact on YouTube. While the most recent ruling is likely cause for relief for Google and those who run the site, it's worthwhile to take a moment to understand how this lawsuit came about, including the convoluted history that led to this decision.So strap yourself in as we do a deep dive into pre-1972 sound recordings, the DMCA and much, much more!
Another YouTube Copyright Lawsuit - Lewis Bond (Chriswell) Jonathan Bailey 2016-06-07 | Even as YouTube is still dealing with the fallout of the H3H3 lawsuit and the creation of FUPA, yet another copyright infringement lawsuit has been filed against a YouTuber.This one targets film buff Lewis Bond, known on the site as Chriswell, has been sued by Serendip LLC, the company that holds the rights to compositions by Wendy Carlos. Carlos created compositions for films by Stanley Kubrick and Bond created a mini-documentary exploring Kubrick's work.So, once again, we find ourselves taking a deep dive into a YouTuber's lawsuit and try to understand what happened, where the lawsuit is going and what is likely to happen next.All in all, this is yet another cautionary tale for YouTubers, especially those who want to create new works based on what others have made before.

Could H3H3 Lose? Jonathan Bailey 2016-05-28 | The continuing saga of the lawsuit against H3H3 took an uplifting turn when the YouTube community rallied around them, even after they didn't ask for support, and raised more than $100,000 to allow them to litigate the case (and support others who may be similarly threatened).But how sure is the case? Though myself and most others agree it's likely a fair use, we are not the deciders. The judge and/or jury is (if it makes it that far). Unfortunately, trials are unpredictable and fair use is doubly so.

Understanding the H3H3 Lawsuit Jonathan Bailey 2016-05-25 | A recent lawsuit filed by Matt Hoss, better known as "The Bold Guy" against the reaction channel H3H3 has gotten YouTube's attention and even further raised the interest in fair use issues on the channel.I decided to take my own deep dive into the lawsuit, understand what is going on and try to make sense of what is going on and what the likely outcomes are.You can download the amended complaint here: plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/h3h3amendedcomplaint.pdfH3H3's video about the lawsuit is here: youtube.com/watch?v=fEGVOysbC8wUPDATE:Since I recorded this video there have been a few developments that I'll probably cover in a later video. First, the original H3H3 video has been reuploaded. You can find it here: youtu.be/-i0IQfBpwMASecond, and most importantly, a GoFundMe was set up to support H3H3 in the litigation. You can find that here: gofundme.com/h3h3defensefundThat fund, however, will not be going to H3H3, instead, it will be going to a Fair Use Protection Account (or FUPA) at their lawyer's office to help H3H3 and others get legal defense in fair use cases. You can learn more about the fund here: http://morrisonlee.com/fupa and on their Twitter here: twitter.com/FUPAforFREEDOM
YouTube, Plagiarism and a Maturing Medium Jonathan Bailey 2016-05-14 | YouTube is in a fervor about plagiarism and attribution. But why? Many of the YouTubers accused of plagiarism have been in operation for years and failed to attribute without a second glance.In this video I take a look at why YouTube is taking such an interest in attribution and what it means for the future of the site and the medium as a whole.Sources: Radio Stats: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dt20ra.htmlhttp://www.radiostratosphere.com/zsite/behind-the-dial/radio-in-1930.htmlTV Stats: http://mashable.com/2013/08/01/first-tv-commercial-bulova-video/#6L2A4uiAWGqWhttp://hypertextbook.com/facts/2007/TamaraTamazashvili.shtmlfirst comYouTube Stats: youtube.com/yt/abouthttp://expandedramblings.com/index.php/youtube-statistics
Update on the Matthew Santoro Plagiarism Scandal Jonathan Bailey 2016-05-06 | The Matthew Santoro plagiarism scandal continues to unfold as Santoro adds attribution to all of his videos (a good first step) but still has not offered a real apology or even a good explanation for why the citations weren't there to begin with.But it's not just Santoro that's making moves. Though I have to be somewhat coy, behind the scenes there is activity against Santoro and possible action being taken against some of his videos. I have to be sparse with the details, but it suffice to say we, likely, haven't heard about the end of this.

The New York Daily News Plagiaism Debacle Jonathan Bailey 2016-04-21 | A recent plagiarism scandal has shaken the New York Daily News as an editor went behind one of their reporters, Shaun King, to remove attribution and blockquotes he had placed in an article, making it appear that King was a plagiarist.Though the truth is now known, it's doesn't make things any better for the New York Daily News and has produced one of the most unusual plagiarism cases in recent memory.

Philips Norelco OneBlade Review Jonathan Bailey 2016-04-12 | Philips recently began selling and promoting its new OneBlade "Not a Shaver" electric shaving tool. Advertised as a trimmer, edger and, to a degree, a shaver all in one, and sold for just $35, the question is obvious: Is it any good?Well, I took the plunge and am happy to report my findings. In short, it's a neat gadget but it's definitely a tool looking for a problem to solve...Want one?

7-in-7: Playboy Links Jonathan Bailey 2016-04-11 | It's a new week and it's time for another 7-in-7! This is the (hopefully weekly) show where I break down a week's worth of copyright news in under 7 minutes.That being said, we missed last week's show due to the time it took to file my comments with the U.S. Copyright Office but we are back and and going through all of the copyright news that's fit to print... or rather, speak.This week's show is a doozy as we cover a slew of international news, looking at linking the EU and photographs of public works in Sweden. However, we have plenty in the states as we cover the legality of selling digital works, a lawsuit against the WWE and even an update on Justin Bieber.All in all, this is one jam-packed show that you do not want to miss!Show Notes: raindrop.io/collection/1207571?sort=title
7-in-7: Dance Baby, Dance Jonathan Bailey 2016-03-27 | It's Sunday again and that means it's time for yet another 7-in-7!It's been two weeks since the last one of these (despite my in video claim that it's only been one) but, rather than muddle my way through a game of copyright blackjack I've decided to focus on just the stories from the past week, leaving some great stories to be covered exclusively on the podcast.Once again, for those who aren't familiar with this series, this is where I take a week's worth of copyright news and condense it into 7 stories that I have explain in under 7 minutes. Easy? Absolutely not. Thorough? Nope. Fun? Maybe if you're into copyright. Fastest way to get through a big pile of copyright news? You bet.This week's stories include:Appeals Court Alters "Dancing Baby" Case RulingOracle and HP Enterprise Embark on a New LawsuitPETA Files Appeal in "Monkey Selfie" CaseSpotify and the NMPA Reach a SettlementParamount and CBS Clarify How Axanar is InfringingJudge Won't Rule on Whether Buck Rogers is Public DomainPhotographers Sue Donald Trump Campaign Over Eagle ImageShow Notes: raindrop.io/collection/1169858?sort=title
Copyright 2.0 Show - Episode 379 - Happiest Birthday Jonathan Bailey 2016-03-09 | Welcome everyone we are back and with another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show!There's a bit of housekeeping with this one. This one covers a lot of news from the latter part of February into early March when we recorded this on the 9th. Unfortunately, due to technical issues I wasn't able to get it posted until after I came back from SXSW and, even then, with some struggles.That being said, while this one might be out of date, it sure as heck has a LOT of important news including the finale of several important cases. Those cases including the Happy Birthday lawsuit, the Fox/Dish Network battle over AutoHop, the Fox News fight over the 9/11 photograph and RealMassive and CoStar settling their dispute over real estate photography.Heck, even the Batmobile case reaches something of a conclusion as the Supreme Court refuses to hear it.Beyond that we have the U.S. Copyright Office issuing its opinion on the "Making Available" right, the Department of Justice trying to streamline music licensing and much more.So come join us as we get caught up on copyright news and maybe get caught up yourself. It's a lot of fun!Show Notes: raindrop.io/collection/1120424
Goodbye Diigo, Hello Raindrop.io Jonathan Bailey 2016-03-09 | Breaking up is hard to do. For the past 8 years I've been a very dedicated user of Diigo (diigo.com) but a change in direction followed by instability issues have made it untenable as a bookmarking solution.However, as one door closes another one opens and I've found a new home for my bookmarks, Raindrop.io (https://raindrop.io).In this video I outline my long and mostly positive history with Diigo, what I want from a bookmarking service and why I eventually quit.If you're not interested in the details, the main change will be that show notes and other lists on the site will soon be from Raindrop. Other than that, it's business as usual.
7-in-7: Availability Making Jonathan Bailey 2016-03-05 | It's time for another 7-in-7, the copyright news wrap up that gets you caught up on a week's worth of news and the time it takes most people to eat a light snack.Once again I'm covering 7 copyright stories in 7 minutes or less and I have a doozy of a task this week. As we begin with the U.S. Copyright Office discussing the "Making Available" right and then shift into twin lawsuits against TIDAL and Google Play.From there was move to real estate as RealMassive settles their case with CoStar and then we talk more tech as Google and Oracle both get chastised for their handling of juror instructions in the Java case.From there we shift to a "bombshell" in the Rick Ross/LMFAO case and wind it down with an update on Hong Kong and, just so i can use the tags, we talk about about Kanye West and Deadmau5.It's a busy show but can I make it through. It only takes seven minutes to find out!Show Notes: diigo.com/outliner/9o0z7z/7in7-Number-4?key=xzmnog0nvh
Who is Merlin CDLTD? Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-29 | As the YouTube copyright controversies continue to march forward, many have been reporting questionable or just outright false copyright claims on their videos by a group identified as Merlin CDLTD. But who the heck is Merlin and why are they filing copyright claims at all? I can't answer all of the questions but I may be able to fill in some of the blanks and help people understand just what is going on.If you want more information about Merlin, you can check out their website here: http://www.merlinnetwork.org
7-in-7: Sly and Soft Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-27 | It's time for another 7-in-7, the only copyright news and review show that respects and protects your time.Each week I spend hours reading and researching copyright news and then, on Friday, I sit down to try and condense it all into just 7 short minutes. Madness? No. This is copyright...On this week's show we have stories ranging from the closing of Slysoft, the RIAA scoring a default judgment against MP3Skull and a blazing fast recap of the Department of Justice's mess surrounding the performing rights organizations.So can I get through so much copyright news so quickly? You'll have to watch to find out...Show Notes: diigo.com/outliner/9jxe5z/7in7-Number-3?key=w7fknv6f7q
7-in-7: Foxy Settlement Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-20 | It's time for another 7-in-7, the only copyright news and review show that respect and protects your time. I spend hours each week reviewing copyright news and condense all of it down to just 7 minutes of copyright-talking time.This week is a tough one. We have a lot of complicated stories to go over as we start out with a major settlement in what could have been a key fair use test, the appeals court holding FilmOn to task and a new lawsuit against Justin Timberlake, just to name few stories.This is an episode that begins with Fox News, ends with the FCC and somehow talks about Kanye West in between. What a crazy world copyright is.So sit back, relax and get your copyright education on!Show Notes: diigo.com/outliner/9g1dff/7in7-Number-2?key=jil5fk7jbr
Understanding the Problem Behind #WTFU Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-17 | Doug Walker, better known as the Nostalgia Critic, recently vented his frustrations at the YouTube Copyright System in a video entitled "Where's the Fair Use?"youtube.com/watch?v=zVqFAMOtwaIWhile Walker has a clear grasp on the symptoms of the problem and has some great common-sense suggestions for improving it, I don't think he fully grasps the cause of it. In his rush to blame Hollywood, he fails to realize that the nature of the problem is much more complex and is largely a byproduct of YouTube's own success.I'm in a unique position here. I do copyright enforcement, occasionally (though only rarely) involving YouTube, and I've operated a movie review channel, Garbage Horror. I know what it means to send takedown notices/claims and to be on the receiving end of them.In the end, the bitter truth is that, as long as YouTube has automated tools for enforcing copyright, which is a necessity for a site this size, there will always be issues regarding fair use and no changes will fix it. Even if the system does work out perfectly, a change tomorrow could throw all of the progress away. That's because Content ID and YouTube copyright claims (not strikes) are a creation of YouTube, not the law, and there's not much that can be done about it.In short, this is YouTube's world and we're just all posting in it.
7-in-7: Superman Super-Done! Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-13 | We're bringing back the 7-in-7 format where I do a weekly video blog quickly summarizing seven copyright news stories from the previous week in under 7 minutes.Why? Because you've got better things to do than read copyright news all day long.

Copyright 2.0 Show - Episode 378 - Supreme Redux Jonathan Bailey 2016-02-05 | Welcome to another edition of the Copyright 2.0 Show!Before we begin, a bit of a programming note. Due to conflicting schedules that make recording difficult, we are going to make Copyright 2.0 Shows irregular, striving to do them once every two weeks. For those wanting a weekly fix of copyright news, I'll be starting a new weekly video series on my YouTube Channel (cross posted here on Plagiarism Today) that will focus on quick recaps of copyright news. We will then save the lengthy conversations and theorizing for Copyright 2.0 Shows.So stay tuned Friday for the new video series to begin!With that bit of awkwardness behind us, we have a great show for you this week. We start out with a double dose of the Supreme Court as the Supreme Court takes in a double dose of one case and is asked to review another. We also have an update on the controversial artist Richard Prince and a lawsuit over a 4K "Stripper" that may be the cause of 4K piracy on file sharing sites. We also have the latest on the monkey selfie case as well as the New Girl case and the Beastie Boys/Monster Beverage settlement.Then we wrap everything up with more news about MP3Tunes (because we're never truly done with a case) and the return of one of the great theoretical exercises in copyright, the copyrightability of tattoos.We have all that and much more on this, Episode 378 of the Copyright 2.0 Show!Show Notes: diigo.com/outliner/8zaqg9/Episode-378?key=y9lepladlu
