Disney Parody explanation of Copyright Law and Fair Use

Synopsis:
Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University provides this humorous, yet informative, review of copyright principles delivered through the words of the very folks we can thank for nearly endless copyright terms.

A lot of face painters and balloon twisters are asked by kids to created designs based on popular cartoon characters, movie stars, or superheros. Questions often come up if this violates the copyrights and if someone could be sued. My usual answer is that painting a kid’s face or making a balloon that is intended to resemble a character is fine, but don’t try to use the character’s name on your website or ads. For example, don’t advertise that you can create all of the kid’s favorite Disney characters. The Disney name is protected and they can take legal action.

Lisa Joy Young offers tips, tricks, and techniques for painting children under 3 years old. Last three minutes includes tips for removing the paint from the kids faces.
