What is the copyright status of messages posted to a Yahoo group?
Q. Does Yahoo own the copyright, does the author own the copyright? They don't have a copyright notice attached at the bottom or anything - are they in the "public domain" and somehow free of copyright? I would like to reproduce some messages on my website.

A. it's owned by the poster, and you cant send them to another group or site groups guidelines 11) You cannot re-post or re-transmit content that belongs to another user without that user's permission. A Groups owner or moderator (or any other user) cannot re-post or re-transmit Groups content to any other site unless the person has the explicit permission of every group member whose content is being re-posted or re-transmitted.

A. Copyrighting a screenplay is the wrong thing to do. The reason that many writer do not copyright is because it's a speed bump in the selling process. And - if it's only a marginal thing in the first place, they could just say no. They're always looking for a reason to back out of a deal. The production company or the studio is the entity that copyrights, not the writer. If the writer copyrights, then lawyers have to get involved - which costs money - to get the copyright transferred to the company. It's a costly PITA. What professional screenwriters do is register their scripts. There are a few ways to do this, but the most commonly accepted way to do so is through the Writers Guild of America.

What is the copyright law regarding audio samples?
Q. If a newsvideo wants to use a portion of a recorded work to help illustrate a story, like a snowman song for a snowy day, what is the copyright law? Can the news organization use a sample from a recorded work, or must they have written permission of the copyright owner? News is produced daily and there is no time to go through a lengthy copyright approval process. That is why this is an important question. Please answer this if you know the answer. Don't fudge it. Nobody signs contracts with record labels to use songs; they take out an ASCAP license.

He sued the company that used his song without his permission even only the tune and a little lyrics. I have no idea about this in America. Maybe it is just the same.

A. I'm not sure what you mean by "something I received in response to an online ad that I posted." Whether or not that is true has nothing to do with whether a work is subject to copyright or not. In short, if a work is protected by copyright, then you will need permission from the author to publish the work. The permission needs to be in writing. You want to make sure this type of document is properly prepared in order to avoid any future problems (e.g., lawsuits).

What exactly are the copyright laws on youtube?

Asked by :: Anna :: - Wed May 14 02:29:30 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. If you post copyrighted material, they will take it down. I've never heard of anyone being sued over a YouTube video, but your user account might get banned. There was an incident with Japanese tv shows suing YouTube over use of clips from their shows without permission, but those have since been taken down and I'm pretty sure nothing came of it. Acting out a scene from a movie doesn't violate any copyright laws as long as you don't try to take credit for any part of it. Just have a title come up that says something like "This a scene from..." and you're set. That's only if you're doing the scene word-for-word, though. If you're doing a parody then that's covered under Fair Use and doesn't violate any copyright laws.

YouTube was actually set up for people to share home videos - videos they had made totally themselves, 100% their own work and creativity, both images and sound. YouTube itself along eith copyright owners and adults generally are mystified by the teen obsession with uploading random images accompanied by somebody else's music and calling it a video

How do I copyright my own work?
Q. I write screenplays and before I send it off to an agent, I'd like to copyright it. Is there a way I can do this to protect it?

A. To register your creation log on to copyright/gov. Browse around for instructions on submitting screenplays, download the appropriate form, and fill it out. Mail it, with your $35 fee, to the Library of Congress. The website will give you the correct address. Bear in mind the cost may have changed. After eight months you should receive your registration which will provide copyright protection in the event of plagiarism or theft.

What are the copyright laws that restrain networks from broadcasting internationally?
Q. Many (if not all) of the US television networks will not allow you watch their online episodes if you are outside of the US. ABC Family website says this is do to copyright laws. How does this work? Its the internet not another network.

A. I imagine the issue is that the network has not filed for copyright in the foreign country. If they allowed the episode to be "watched" outside the U.S., then it could also be recorded at the same time, copies made, and sold outside the U.S. and the network would have no legal right to prevent this (thereby losing a lot of revenue).
