These government officials were willing to abuse their >>>>>>> positions of public trust to advance the baseless probe to new >>>>>>> levels, >>>>>>> including obtaining an extrajudicial FISA warrant and instigating the >>>>>>> commencement of an oversight investigation headed by Special Counsel >>>>>>> Robert >>>>>>> Mueller. As a result, Donald J.

The Court further noted that TV-Novosti had "not changed the purpose >>>>>>>>>> of the parallax-enhanced images," i.e., to provide visual illustration for >>>>>>>>>> the overlain audio commentary, but had instead "simply lifted the >>>>>>>>>> copyrighted depictions . .. for the purpose of illustrating [TV-Novosti's] >>>>>>>>>> own video." In addition, the Court found that the fact that TV-Novosti >>>>>>>>>> could have sought to pay for the clips, but didn't, and tried to hide its >>>>>>>>>> use of the excerpts from YouTube's algorithms, also weighed against a >>>>>>>>>> finding a fair use under the first factor. >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Regarding the second factor, concerning the nature of the >>>>>>>>>> copyrighted work, the Court initially noted that factual material such as >>>>>>>>>> that at issue, "cuts less closely to the core of copyright." Nevertheless, >>>>>>>>>> the Court held that the fact that source material for Business Casual's >>>>>>>>>> videos was in the public domain weighed against finding fair use, because >>>>>>>>>> TV Novosti could have simply used public domain photos of the historical >>>>>>>>>> figures, rather than the modified clips, to create its videos. >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Regarding the third factor, concerning the amount of use in >>>>>>>>>> relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, the Court noted that while >>>>>>>>>> only "small portions of the entire copyrighted works were used"—excerpts >>>>>>>>>> of 7 seconds, 1 minute and 28 seconds, and 8 minutes and 50 seconds in >>>>>>>>>> length—the portions were "not so trivial as to warrant dismissal under the >>>>>>>>>> de minimis doctrine." >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Lastly, regarding the fourth factor, concerning the effect of the >>>>>>>>>> use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work, the Court >>>>>>>>>> noted that this factor "ask[s] not whether the second work would damage the >>>>>>>>>> market for the first (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or >>>>>>>>>> criticism), but whether it usurps the market for the first by offering a >>>>>>>>>> competing substitute." With this framing, the Court thus found that while >>>>>>>>>> one the one hand, TV-Novosti's "videos are alternative ways of learning >>>>>>>>>> about the lives of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller," on the other hand, >>>>>>>>>> they "have a broader focus and are in a different language, meaning that >>>>>>>>>> they cater to a different audience." These differences, the Court held, >>>>>>>>>> were significant enough to preclude the Court from "determining the effect >>>>>>>>>> of [TV-Novosti's] videos on the market for [Business Casual's] videos at >>>>>>>>>> this time." >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> The Court's recognition of the weight of the fourth factor in >>>>>>>>>> determining fair use means that there may still be hope for TV-Novosti—time >>>>>>>>>> (and fact discovery) will tell. For now, the takeaway may very well be >>>>>>>>>> that parties seeking to raise a fair use defense should take care to >>>>>>>>>> emphasize any characteristics of their use that distinguish not just their >>>>>>>>>> work, but its target audience, including the scope of the work and the >>>>>>>>>> language (if any) which communicates it. >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> *-----(PAGE BREAK)-----* >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional >>>>>>>>>> rights. >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Thank you, >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Gunnar Larson >>>>>>>>>> -- >>>>>>>>>> Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> *xNY.io - Bank.org* >>>>>>>>>> 917-580-8053 >>>>>>>>>> NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> On Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 2:22 AM Gunnar Larson <g(a)xny.io> wrote: >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>> Art Director/Designer: Robert W.
