YOU TUBE : JACKSONVILLE TEEN PINPOINTING SANTATHE YOU TUBE DEBATE : WHY COPYRIGHT SHOULDON''S WHERE ABOUTS

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 16:37:00 +0000

A staggering 35-hours of video is uploaded onto YouTube every minute. And if you are one of the many millions of people actively contributing to the upstream of digital video onto the Web’s preeminent video-sharing portal, there’s a good chance you’ve at least flirted with copyright infringement.

But whether a copyright has been infringed or not isn’t always black and white (no video-related pun intended). If you overdub a full audio track of the Beatles onto footage of you larking about with your friends, then you’re almost certainly in violation of the Beatles’ right to be paid for their work.

That said, Macca and Ringo won’t be going hungry any time soon. And whether or not anyone’s actually bothered enough about your paltry 25 views to file a complaint is another matter altogether. But if you unintentionally create a monster YouTube hit that draws in the world’s curious eyes and ears, then you may be asked to remove the video.

You are then allowed a second misdemeanor without any serious repercussions but a third strike and your YouTube account will be closed down. That’s where fair use comes into play. You’re generally allowed to use segments, snippets or snapshots of copyrighted content if they are genuinely insubstantial or are otherwise incidental to the main subject of the video.

A good example of this scenario is the classic Evolution of Dance video (160 million views and counting) that uses a medley of classic hits as a backdrop to demonstrate how dancing has changed over the past six decades. The music is in the actual room (rather than overdubbed onto the video) and no more than about ten seconds is used from each song.

Of course, the ‘real’ infringements – the ones that the major copyright-owning media companies are bothered about – are the ones you really want to be careful about. So don’t upload full episodes of the TV show Friends unless you want to invoke the wrath of YouTube’s ‘3 strike’ policy.
Google vs. Viacom
The ongoing and much-covered Viacom vs. Google case is a exemplary case-in-point of where we currently stand with copyright and where we’re likely to go.
Google fended off Viacom’s attempt to sue the Internet giant over copyright infringement on YouTube in June. The main reason the judge sided with Google was that “mere knowledge” of such activity wasn’t enough and that whenever YouTube was given a notice, it removed the offending material.
This was a key provision in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that protects media aggregation services such as YouTube from being collared by the long digital-arm of the law. And it’s one of the reasons why you and me can enjoy endless hours of entertainment online.
The initial defeat hasn’t stopped Viacom from going back for more, however, with the pending appeal likely to see the case dragging on much longer than the three years-plus it has so far.
Goliath vs. Goliath
However, this amounts to much more than a Goliath vs. Goliath court case. The future of the web as we know it hinges on this outcome, and the implications of victory for Viacom would be far-reaching. It will set a precedent upon which many similar cases in the future would be based upon.
Most fair-minded people can understand Viacom wishing to protect its copyrighted material – and even many in favour of copyright reform would probably concede that Viacom’s case isn’t entirely without merit. After all, we all know that YouTube has hosted copyrighted material.
But let’s be clear about one thing: this case isn’t about whether YouTube hosts copyright material or not. The case is about who’s responsible for policing the uploaded material. Google is a massive corporation, but with over 50,000 hours of footage uploaded onto YouTube each day, it can’t monitor everything. And if it tried to, it would destroy what makes YouTube – and any social media tool – so effective. Instant and immediate is key. The lag-time between action, interaction and reaction must be kept to a minimum.
Google’s copyright management
Whilst acknowledging that Google can be criticised on many fronts, the way it has handled the issue of copyright infringement on YouTube has actually been quite good overall – even if its actions have sometimes been a little belated.
For example, the launch of AudioSwap back in 2007 allowed users to tap into an existing library of music to accompany their videos. You might not find The Beatles in there, but if all you’re after are some beats to complement your clips, you’ve a rather large range of music across all genres to choose from.
And for people looking to protect their copyright, there’s Content ID, which enables copyright holders to identify any of their work that’s being used on YouTube. This provides copyright holders with the option of blocking, tracking or even cashing in on their content.
Google recently announced further changes to the way it handles piracy issues, such as a promise to act on “reliable copyright takedown requests within 24-hours.” And it will seek to “prevent terms that are closely associated with piracy from appearing in Autocomplete.”
Responsibility for policing copyright infringements on YouTube has to remain in the hands of the copyright holders. Facilitated, of course, by whatever tools Google can bring to the table. It’s the most practical solution and will ensure that the web remains an open conduit of information.

YOU TUBE INVESTS AGAIN IN VIDEO CREATORS

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 16:21:00 +0000

It’s an early Christmas present for 500 of YouTube’s content partners: $1,000 to buy new video equipment.
YouTube, an arm of Google, said it was giving away the money to help the video-makers “produce even higher quality videos and ultimately drive bigger audiences to their work.” Bigger audiences, of course, mean more advertising revenue for the partners and for YouTube.
A total of $500,000 will be distributed through credits at B&H Photo, which is the Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s favorite camera equipment store. The credits will go to 500 partners “who primarily create and distribute their content online, to purchase new video production equipment,” the Web site said in a blog post. It says it has 15,000 participants in its partner program worldwide.
YouTube has a history of financing the independent producers that it calls partners. In July it announced $5 million in investments for a much smaller group of partners. This month’s investment, while smaller, spreads the money out among a wider array of people.
These investments matter because Google is inching its way toward the media kingdom. Last week, The New York Times reported that YouTube was in talks to buy Next New Networks, a Web video production company.
Apart from acquisitions, paying for better camera equipment for creators, theoretically, means better videos and more viewers, further tightening YouTube’s grip on the online video world. YouTube wants people to watch Web videos the same way they watch multimillion-dollar TV episodes on their living room TV sets — perhaps through its new Google TV product — and that’s going to take even more investment, be it by YouTube or by others.

APPLE TV APPROACHING 1 MILLION IN SALES

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:27:00 +0000

Apple says sales of its Apple TV device will top the one million mark later this week.

The revamped device, introduced in September to combat struggling sales, is available for $99 and allows users to rent movies or TV shows as well as stream content from Netflix, YouTube and other partners.

The announcement also arrives as Apple faces growing competition from Google and its upcoming Google TV service.

Apple says 400,000 TV shows and 150,000 movies are either rented or purchased daily through Apple TV.

Readers, do you use Apple TV? How is the experience?

YOU TUBE REMOVES ISRAELI MEDIA WATCHDOG'S CHANNEL

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:48:00 +0000

NGO Palestinian Media Watch featured videos of Palestinian incitement against Jews and Israelis; removed for airing hate speech.

Talkbacks (2) The video-sharing website YouTube removed from its servers Sunday a video channel operated by Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch for severe violatioans of YouTube’s community guidelines.

The channel, which featured videos of Palestinian incitement against Jews and Israelis, posted by the group in order to expose Arab media undercurrents, was removed for repeatedly airing hate speech.

Opinion: YouTube gets it wrong on online hate

PMW director Itamar Marcus said he had received an automatically generated letter from YouTube informing him that the channel had been removed following complaints by YouTube users. Surfing to the PMW channel or searching YouTube for PMW videos generates a result that reads: “Palwatch has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines.”

“YouTube has removed some of our videos in the past, but closing down the site is a tremendous disservice,” said Marcus. “Some of the videos are indeed horrific. The one that got us closed down, for example, showed a farewell video made by a Hamas terrorist, in which he called on Palestinians to drink the blood of Jews. But we’re not the ones who produced it, it was broadcast first on Hamas TV in Gaza.

“After they are removed from YouTube we can re-post individual videos through other video sharing websites, but closing down the entire channel means that all the recorded views have been lost and all the blogs and websites that linked to the videos no longer work.”

Marcus said that he suspected that the complaints came from Palestinian or Arab activists who didn’t like the fact that the hateful messages were being exposed.

“These types of videos are usually only viewed in Arab society, since they are aired on Arab-language channels. They want to hide the things they only allow themselves to say amongst themselves in Arabic, but we watch it, translate it and send it around the world to decision-makers and the general public,” said Marcus.

Marcus said that he didn’t know whether anybody at YouTube was aware of the context in which the offensive videos were aired and that he hoped that once reasoned with they could return the channel, even if it meant removing particular videos.

YouTube could not be reached for a response, but the company’s website reads the following about the posting of offensive material: “We have a policy of not commenting on individual video removals. Videos may be removed from YouTube for a variety of reasons…. With 24 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube, we cannot pre-screen content and operate at the scale at which we do. It would be like the telephone company pre-screening every call before allowing it to be connected.

Instead, we count on our community members, who are watching the site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to know the Community Guidelines http://www.youtube.com/t/co mmunity–guidelines> and to flag content they believe violates the rules.

“We receive thousands of flags every day. Each flagged video is reviewed quickly, and if we find that a video does violate the rules, we remove it (usually in less than an hour) and communicate with the person who uploaded the offending content. We take these violations seriously, and multiple infractions can result in a user’s suspension or permanent removal from YouTube.”

GIRLFRIEND USING HOME MAD VIDEO OF JIM HENSON DOLLS

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 01:21:00 +0000

It was mid-way through that she realised what was happening, gripped his hand and burst into tears.
Sara Prinderville's boyfriend Sid Ceaser sprang a surprise on a trip to the cinema by screening a home-made film about their relationship which ended in the question: 'Will you marry me?'
The touching three-minute short depicted the two Jim Henson fans as Muppets getting to know each other and falling in love.
Scroll down for video

Muppet marriage: Photographer Sid Ceaser from New Hampshire surprised his girlfriend by making a movie short from muppets to propose to her

Surprise proposal: Miss Prinderville tearfully watched the video in a local theatre and was surprised with cheering friends and family when the lights came on

When the lights came up the couple were surrounded by friends and family who had sneaked in to cheer them on and hear Miss Prinderville give her answer - a definite yes.
The film, called simply 'The Proposal' has now been posted on YouTube where it has been seen more than 70,000 times and brought dozens of viewers to tears.
'People have emailed saying how much this has made them cry because it was so sweet,' Mr Ceasar said.
'But men have cursed me for doing this, as now 'the bar has been raised to impossible expectations'.
'I'm just so overwhelmed that it has had such an effect on so many people.'

Touching: The film called The Proposal has now become a YouTube hit and brought dozens of viewers to tears

Beat that: Mr Ceaser said he wanted to do something special to propose but is now being cursed by male friends for 'raising the bar to impossible expectations'

Photographer Mr Ceaser, 35, from Nashua in New Hampshire, said he had been seeing his 33-year-old girlfriend for 10 years and wanted to do something special to propose so settled on a short film.
After making it himself with aid of two friends he set up the screening in a local cinema and got dozens of friends to sneak in once the lights had gone down.
Then the magic moment happened.
'Sara didn't recognise herself in the first scene,' said Mr Ceaser.
'She was too busy looking at the Muppet to notice that it was sitting in her chair reading her book, with her tea mug on the arm of the chair.
'But when the scene of the Sid Muppet came up playing computer games in our apartment, I felt her hand get tight around mine, and she instantly started choking up and crying.

Who loves you babe: The couple became emotional and tearfully watched scenes played out from their relationship on the big screen

'This in turn made me start crying.
'So there the two of us were; watching Muppet versions of ourselves on a movie screen and crying together.
'And the end of the trailer, the lights came up and I told her to turn around.
'Suddenly she saw about 30 of her friend and family, and she started crying again! I was actually amazed at the number of people who came.
'I didn't expect to turn around and see all the back rows completely filled. That made me cry as well.
'Then came the applause and celebration. It was perfect. And, yes, Sara accepted my proposal.'
Mr Ceaser built his own Muppets by ordering in the parts from toy maker FAO Schwartz in New York and bought sets of baby clothes to kit them out.

Detailed: Mr Ceaser spent three days filming in local parks and at his home before adding the heart-pulling soundtrack by singer songwriter Nicholas Kir

He and two friends then spent three days filming in local parks and at his home before adding in a soundtrack by singer songwriter Nicholas Kirk.
Next was the venue so he asked some friends who run the local Red River cinema to pretend that they were having an exclusive documentary screening.
They obliged and even sent Miss Prinderville, an artist and photographer, an official-looking invitation so as not to arouse suspicion.
On the day itself as three dummy shorts were being played on the screen, Mr Ceaser texted dozens of friends who had been hiding in a nearby gallery who crept into the cinema in the dark so they were in position for the special moment.
Mr Ceaser said: 'There isn't anything wrong with being young at heart.

Thoughtful: Mr Caeser used special touches like incorporating his girlfriend's book and coffee cup into the video

My passion for this kind of stuff has never gone away, and making The Proposal was something that I knew I had to do as soon as I thought of it.
'To me, it simply made sense. Plus, a life long dream came true; I got a Muppet that looks like me!!!
'Sara puts up with a lot of stuff; the good, the bad, the mood swings, being grumpy, being silly, being broke, depression, being happy, constantly making jokes; both appropriate and inappropriate, and through it all we still make each other laugh.
'I love that I can do things like this, and she will support it because it is how I express myself.'
The couple have not yet set a date for their wedding although Mr Ceaser says it will be sometime next Autumn.

THE TOP YOU TUBE VIDEOS OF 2010

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 16:41:00 +0000

YouTube announced Friday that thirteen year old Oklahoma musician Greyson Chance finished 2010 with the No. 3 video on YouTube’s top videos of 2010.
The list, released by YouTube this week, named Greyson Chance’s video as the third most watched of 2010. Music videos from major labels are not included in the competition. Justin Bieber’s video for “Baby” garnered over 406 million views.
The No. 1 YouTube video of the year is the “Bed Intruder Song,” with over 61 million views. The song is processed vocals with dialogue by Antoine Dodson as he speaks to a reporter about the alleged rape of his sister.

The second most watched YouTube video of the year was a parody of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” by the web sketch series Key of Awesome called “Glitter Puke.” More than 50.6 million viewers watched that video.

Edmond, Oklahoma native Greyson Chance ranked third on the YouTube list with his school performance of “Paparazzi.” What makes this impressive is the fact it is a straight musical performance without comedy or added effects.
Chance parlayed that success into a debut album with the help of Ellen DeGeneres. He recently announced that he will be starting a tour in January with iCarly Tv star Miranda Cosgrove.

ANGRY BIG BROTHER A YOU TUBE STAR

noreply@blogger.com (AL HIJAMAH TRADING) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 03:33:00 +0000

Dodson has started a website, where he entertains, sells T-shirts and asks for donations between media appearances.

New York - Antoine Dodson’s dramatic reaction to a local crime has spawned the most-watched YouTube video of the year, excepting music videos.

When Dodson, a 24-year-old Alabama student, gave an angry TV interview about an attempted rape against his younger sister, he became a viral hit. When a video turned that rant into an auto-tuned song, Bed Intruder Song, Dodson became a fully fledged internet sensation.

The Bed Intruder Song is the top YouTube video of the year, the Google Inc-owned company announced. YouTube added the view counts for two versions of the video, which put its total at over 61 million views.

YouTube separated commercial music videos from their top-10 list. Otherwise, all the top 10 videos would have been by either Justin Bieber, Shakira, Eminem, Rihanna or Lady Gaga. With more than 406 million views, Bieber’s video for Baby trumped all others.

The Bed Intruder video was remixed by New York musicians Evan and Michael Gregory who are also known for their Web series Auto-Tune the News.

The song charted on iTunes, with profits being split between Dodson and the Gregorys.

The second most-watched video was another made-for-YouTube riff: a parody of Ke$ha’s Tik Tok by the musical sketch Web series Key of Awesome. More than 50.6 million have watched the mock version of the popular pop song.

In the third most-watched video, a potential new pop star was born. In it, 13-year-old Greyson Chance (who has been compared to Bieber) sings Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi while playing piano at a sixth-grade music recital.

The top 10 also included: a video from the Annoying Orange series; a viral ad from Old Spice; the hysterically happy “double rainbow” guy; OK Go’s video to This Too Shall Pass; the trailer for the Twilight film Eclipse; Jimmy Kimmel surprising a three-year-old Bieber fan with the young star; and a stunt-driving video by Ken Block.

Mia Quagliarello, YouTube community manager, noted that several of 2010’s top videos were made by people or companies that attempt to create YouTube videos for a living.

YouTube shares advertising revenue with uploaders who are “partners”.

Many of the amateurs who helped build YouTube have gone pro.

“More and more people are seeing YouTube as a place they can make it in their career,” said Quagliarello. “We try to give them the tools and the financials to make that happen.” – Sapa-AP
