You The Audience
If you are reading this blog, then you should be interested in the topic of copyright laws, or the use of copyrighted media. Maybe you have used a piece of work that is copyrighted and have been unable to share it the way that you would like. There are many content creators that use small amounts of a copyrighted work, and then those that use a majority of one for their content. If you fall under either category, you can benefit from this blog.
Me The Author
I'm Chris Schmidt, and i'm a college student at The University of Texas at Dallas. I work with copyrighted media quite frequently for various personal projects. I have uploaded many of these projects to Youtube and faced various copyright infringement strikes. The current excuse that I use is to claim fair use on the videos, but that only goes so far. With this blog I will cover the many options that are viable and those that can get you into trouble. It will be a learning experience for me as well, but with resources from recognized publications and other credible blogs I will make this blog a useful source for copyright information.
