Funny video sites - public domain?
 

Those 'funny video' sites, like http://www.holylemon.com/ , http://home.enter.vg/funnyvideos/ etc. - certianly they don't have ownership rights to many, if not all, of these videos.

Are these videos, or clips of that nature considered the public domain?

Can they be used by anyone?

anyone know the deal with this stuff?

No.

"Public Domain" is close to being a myth. 99.9999% of the shit people think is public domain -- isn't.

Used? Sure. And I can use Disney movies, too, if I don't mind being fucked by the rat.

Used without the potential for legal liability? Hell no.

i run videodump.com gets about 10,000 to 14,000 uniques a day

what exactly is public domain? any examples?

There is no public domain so also no samples.

I wonder how Rick Latona deal with angry people ... he must have a shitload of complaints

Fris, your site is essentially what I'm talking about, but with videos and humour geared to a slightly more 'G' rated audience.

Without going into detail of course, where do you find that stuff, and have you ever been threatened with copyright infringement?
