Verbreitung der WoW videos am Ende ?
Verfasst: Mi 27 Jul, 2005 11:30The god damn RIAA(recording industry association of america) has gotten two major game-video hosting websites, warcraftmovies.com and rpgfilms.net shut down for violating copyright laws. While warcraftmovies.com simply shows "site not found" when tried to access
www.rpgfilms.net
has the email posted sent to them by the RIAA. The RIAA has shut down these sites because the videos on the sites available for download had copywritten material in them(the songs in the videos). The RIAA's arguement is that people could possibly rip the audio files out of the whole video file and "steal" their product.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered “fair,” such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

This is the "fair use" portion of America's copyright law. I'm not gonna argue points here, anyone reading this post knows what the RIAA did was bull$!@%. $!@% like this happens all the time but I don't make posts like this, nothing's ever happened to something that affected me like this.
I know this will actually take effort, I know this means youll actually have to go out and get a stamp and an envelope, but every person reading this thread needs to send a letter to their congressman. They will respond. Their jobs depend on it. They will also listen to you, their livelihood depends on you voting for them, whether or not you vote they will assume you do. If they get 50 letters about warcraftmovies.com in the next few days, they will talk to someone, maybe even each other about it. Talk to your friends, let them know this $!@% has happened.
