CIP: Paranoidmount has *never* even so much as slapped a DMCA notice on someone posting a clip where Kirk is screaming "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!" in response to something stupid that someone else did in a completely different context. The brevity of that clip easily places it in Fair Use. However, if someone comes along and takes, say, complete scene at the base of Mount Sinai from "The Ten Commandments", gives it the "What's Up, Tiger Lilly?" treatment, and *then* posts the whole scene to YouTube, Fair Use is arguably exceeded despite any semblance of protection of Parody by the 1st Amendment. One of the best re-does that I've seen on YouTube is 'Planet of the Apes' (the original one with Charlton Heston) re-done as a Twilight Zone episode. I don't know how it would fit in the scheme, though. What people are doing with the "Downfall" clip is coming very close to exceeding what even the most FA-loving, Pirate Bay surfing, longtime usenet pirating judge would let someone get away with. Other than the clip that's the subject of this thread, my favorite use of 'Downfall' goes by the title 'Hitler vs Khan'. Someone has basically remade Star Trek 2 with the Nazis crewing the Enterprise. Very well done, almost better than the original. |
