THE LAWS will change, the question is how many companies and people will have to be destroyed first, just like the new financial laws and trading laws have changed and more are changing but again it was after a mass destruction of the world economy.

Billiong of dollars of music, software and movies stolen NOT FAIR USE ITEMS!
really ok care to explain how this fair use of parody would have been defended if youtube had to get proof that produces oked the use of their content first.



at the time it was put up the producers of that movie were arguing that simple changing the subtitles were not enough to be considered fair use

they were sending dmca take down notices to get rid of the videos.
and they were all working

eff put up their own downfall parody, they did a perfect job of explictly spelling out the fair use conditions, and when the takedown notice came they disputed.

As a result all the other downfall parodies which were removed were all put back.

So tell me how exactly would such an extension of fair use happen if the video can never be put up in the first place (because it doesn't have permission from the producer) and youtube must not allow it to be published at all without cede proof.
