I finally found a hobby that I was really enjoying only to find it start to be a hassle. See I started making fan videos, you know basically using clips from a tv show and placing them to music. This new found hobby has even had me considering the idea of video production as a college idea choice. However my fun has been dampered due to the fact of youtube's growingly strict copyright policy, which I get and all but come on! We're not making a profit or anything and if anything it's more like advertising. Do you know how many songs I've bought after viewing fan videos of my favorite shows ? Plenty!
I remember watching the Colbert Report and a guy (Lawrence Lessig) talking about Copyright laws and I think he was right. Remixing things builds on whats there which often leads to benifiting more parties in the sense.
Youtube recently started to mute copyrighted music, instead of removing entire video with the content. Which bothers me because yes, music and artists are owned by companies but Music is ment to be shared and spread around able to be enjoyed by all! Now there restricting it . I just think it's stupid for people to not use music if there not mmaking a profit off it. Artists want there music to be heard, why would you want that to stop? It just bother me.
