Re: Copywrite of no longer produced videos[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Copyright Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M Arthur Auslander on June 07, 2002 at 00:20:20: In Reply to: Copywrite of no longer produced videos posted by Andrea on June 06, 2002 at 15:11:35: : It's a bit complicated, but I'm wondering the about the legal issues concerning videos that are no longer produced. : The situation: : Company x discontinued production of the video, some of the material is out of date, while other segments are still in valid. : Is it legal to condense the video? (extracting the parts no longer valid, while maintaining the credits, etc. of the original producers?) : In my view, it's like fast-forwarding through the parts you don't want to see. The end result would not be resold, but instead used in a classroom. : What's your view? : thanks. There is reality and there is law. It is my belief that downloading to a VCR is an infringement. If this is true, selling the download would be a way of exposing what has been done so that the propietor might become aware and take action. There are also questions as to the copyright notice and registration.
