Monitored Alarm Systems

SOUP, it is interesting to take a look at how copyright holders are abusing the already existing copyright to remove content that have no rights. Cory Doctorow has a column about how the "real pirates" YouTube may be the largest entertainment companies have been using YouTube ContentID system (not the DMCA) to "recover" a large number of public domain works:

FedFlix is ??a charity project initiated by Carl Malamud, a "criminal Archivist" which raises funds to digitize and upload videos created at the expense of the U.S. government. Under U.S. law, the creations of government are public domain and may be freely used by anyone but the U.S. government is very low on reality, making its treasures available to the public that owns them.

Malamud pay the costs associated with the recovery of copies of the U.S. government - Sometimes, buying expensive DVD government affairs, sometimes paying to have the videos taken from unpublished government records - and messages on YouTube The Internet Archive and other video sites, so anyone and everyone can see, download and use.

Malamud FedFlix report documents the Archivist of the United States says that companies like NBC Universal, Al Jazeera, and Discovery Communications have been used to claim the title of videos on YouTube ContentID FedFlix. Some collecting societies for the violations of human music have taken the "silent movies".




I built the full report below well. As Doctorow points out, the system ContentID, receiving too many results, you can get into trouble, but apparently no way to defend themselves by saying that "this work is public domain." The closest might be fair use, but fair use does not apply to public domain (fair use is an exception to copyright, but there is no copyright for public domain material). But of course, nothing is done to correct this because, as Cory points out that "there is no organized lobby in the public domain." And it's sad. Because, realistically, Congress should be room for the public domain because it is assumed that (I know, do not laugh) represent the interests of the public.
