Dramacrazy.net

The takedown notice was on distributing infringing content.
The parties involved were different networks throughout Asia who’s content was in the website.
The website was ultimately shutdown.

Vimeo and Pixels

The claim of infringement is obscure apart from having he word Pixels in the title.

The claim was made by Entura International, an ‘anti-piracy’ organization acting on behalf of Columbia Pictures.

One of the video that was taken down was a 2006 short film called Pixels. They expressed their disdain and the fact that it was technically ‘strike one’ if they infringed. 

Most of the other videos taken down had no relation to the Adam Sandler film apart from the title…with the sole exception of it’s own trailer.

It even took down the source material, a two minute CGI film where the video game icons came to life.

After some time, the video were finally restored.

Task 4 BDM103

Getting permission from a copyright owner

Essentially, the document talks about the processes of obtaining a copyright and legal matters surrounding a copyright.

It list major acting bodies of copyright representatives where an individual may wish to obtain a licence. Different bodies represent different media and for different settings.

The document also talks about the different types of licences and what would constitute as a copyright infringement.

Defence against a copyright infringement would not be applied if

·         If you are unable to identify or contact the copyright owner.

·         If you merely acknowledged the creator/copyright owner.

·         If you have wrongly used the relevant copyright work from the creator’s request.

Infringement of Copyright – What Should I Do?

Discusses what an infringement is, then continues on to what may or may not be considered a ‘substantial part’ that is used from the original material. Grey area on what constitutes as a substantial part but ultimately digresses that even a minimal part e.g. a few bars from a music sheet could be an infringement case.

Coincidental similarities does not constitute as an infringement case, it would only be infringement if the resulting similarity was gained by direct or an indirect form of copying.

Authorising an infringement, which the document says “sanction, approve or countenance” as an act of authorisation, will also incur the practitioner an infringement case.

The document then goes on about certain situations in which one would be allowed to use copyrighted material the permission of the copyright holders. This is for such things as research or private study, criticism, reviews or news reporting. Certain bodies also have certain exceptions to infringement.

The latter half of the document is if you’re the copyright owner and your works are being infringed upon, there are certain things you would be able to do such as contact representative copyright bodies that pertains to your medium.

You may then decide on a course of action.

You may also decide to make an informal contact with the infringer.

Ultimately forced by YG Entertainment (2NE1’s label) to stop promotion and any performance of the song and remove the video from YouTube.

“The estate points to a 2014 US supreme court ruling that Conan Doyle’s final 10 stories about Holmes, published between 1923 and 1927, remain in copyright in the US under the country’s 95-year rule. While the detective’s retirement is referenced in earlier works, the new suit says, Doyle’s later stories include “much more about Sherlock Holmes’ retirement and later years” – in particular, the detective’s efforts to solve one final case, how he has “come to love nature and dedicates himself to studying it”, and how he develops “a personal warmth and the capacity to express love for the first time”.

Parties involved are the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle against Hollywood Miramax Studios.

Proposal Pages

My current design for the Title and Contents page for the proposals. I wanted to keep the Film Noir vibe, keeping the black and white colour. I also wanted a greater throw back to those kinds of films hence the brick wall background. I wanted to include my two main (the anti-hero and the femme fatale) characters in them without it seemingly forced so I made my characters essentially into 'graffiti' of the brick wall which I liked how it turned out to.
