I THINK that the clause in the DCMA law in about non commercial video might cover things like fan video clips a lot of fans make little videos of their favorite musical artists. This was a huge battle on YouTube. I doubt we will an influx of these videos just a relaxation of what I call “copyright cops” from record companies and the like. These kids aren’t selling the videos they are just showing their appreciation for their favorite musical artist.
Awesome podcast. I’ve read and loved Kafka, but I confess I’ve never known much about him. Thanks for enlightening me!
