In an attempt to explain the “fair use” loophole in copyright law to his students, Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University created a brilliant summary of fair use copyright principles…by letting clips from Disney animated features do all the talking for him. Faden’s conscription of such clips falls under fair use, much to the chagrin of The Mouse, a company known for vehemently defending its copyrights and sponsoring legislation that prevents its characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy from entering the public domain after the standard period of 75 ears…er, years. According to the bogus FBI warning at the beginning of the 10-minute film, “Federal law allows citizens to reproduce, distribute or exhibit portions of copyrighted motion pictures, video tapes or video discs under certain circumstances without authorization of the copyright holder. This infringement of copyright is called ‘fair use’ and is allowed for purposes of criticism, news reporting, teaching and parody.”
