" In the fun category, Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University has
created a video review of copyright principles. You're probably
thinking, "How could anyone make a video about a legal concept even
mildly entertaining?" But Faden's truly inspired video works on many
levels because it consists entirely of extremely short clips (often
no more than one word) from a wide variety of animated Disney
movies. It's thanks in large part to Disney that copyright - which
was designed to encourage creativity by giving the creator control
over copying for a limited time - now lasts for the life of the
creator plus 75 years, or, for a work of corporate authorship, 95
years. But thanks to the short length of the clips, its non-profit
educational nature, and the fact that it would in no way affect the
potential market for the copyrighted works, Faden's video
undoubtedly falls under fair use."
