Copyright Issues in a Digital Age
Here are three Web sites that illustrate different ways of dealing with copyright:
The Internet Archive hosts movies from the public domain.
I've seen this site referred to as "YouTube for the avant-garde." Read the FAQ from below listed "What is your policy concerning posting copyrighted material?" (click the image to enlarge it)
Sites like this have the luxury of remaining lax about copyright issues because avant-garde cinema is not exactly a moneymaker for Hollywood. If it should ever become one, then sites dealing with unconventional content will be targeted for copyright infringement.
Then there are sites like this one, which includes one of the more original disclaimers that I've ever read. Evidently, talking about how people can illegally download movies is an issue of free speech. Providing people with the necessary tools is also not a problem because EZ Movies believes in the power of personal responsibility (WINK!).
