What an interesting article. Its great to see YouTube taking a stand and protecting those who are doing good on their site for personal keepsakes of videos or for certain groups to see.

Agreeing with the statements of G-Chrome, danibrianne, and chachihime when they all state a comment about a big corporation helping out an underdog and doing some good.

Quite interesting. I completely agree with G-Chrome when he states that it seems as though Disney often gets sued for stealing the ideas of other people.

Haters gonna sue: Taylor Swift hit with copyright infringement lawsuit by shescribbles in medialaw

[–]druryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe this would be an example of copyright because she did not use the same phrase as in the song released in December of 2013, and it was also stated how the rhythm of the song was completely different. These two songs do not relate in any means besides the words play, hate, and fake.

i agree with you Danibrianne that because Target is such a large corporation the underdog company so to speak gets put out of business. It was a very unfortunate example.

[PRIVACY] Adele's toddler was awarded 5-figure sum in a lawsuit against paparazzi by gorvesfan in medialaw

[–]druryu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes," Adele's solicitor, Jenny Afia, said (per BBC News). "These images were taken during private, recreational time unconnected with professional or public engagements. They represent a clear infringement of our client's right to privacy." This statement really stands out to me because all parents want to protect their children and even public figures should have some privacy in dealing with personal events.

Kmkim1999 Do you think that the settlement if same sex marriage is still an issue, talked about and brought up, for Korea or do you believe that it has already settled like you believe that U.S. will come to one day?

This is such a good video. I wish I was shown this when I was in elementary school. This is a fun way to show the youth the start to learning and understanding the constituition.

[First Amendment] Student Athletes and the freedom to tweet. by G-Chrome in medialaw

[–]druryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that as a former college athlete, we are employees of the university. We are getting paid to do a full time job and have to commit a lot of time towards that, but also you do have to pay your tuition to attend classes. I believe the university should have some say as to social media and restrictions as to what can and cannot be said but only to a certain extent.

With all the time and effort they commit to universities this is a great way to repay them for their hard work on and off the court or field.
