I thought this series was going to be boring but I gave it a chance as I thoroughly enjoy most everything else on crash course. To my amazement, this turned out to be one of my favorites. I can't explain it, but this was a very enjoyable series. Thank You all involved.

You talk about the 'life plus 70' term being so hard to change, but it was extended to 70 years in 1998... that's really not that long ago as far as the legal realm is concerned. This kind of explanation seems akin to the 'too big to fail' line of thought that if something is difficult to do, we pre-ordain the path of least resistance. My problem with it isn't even necessarily that the term itself is ludicrously long or that wildly vague concepts have been allowed such protections - my problem is the non-viable nature of these protections in a digital age in the first place. A physical product is one thing, but information is a much murkier proposition and I think the efforts meant at one time to be consumer friendly have become very anti-consumer. Simply put, there need to be far more consumer end protections and rights (such as trial use for software due to the complex and often uncertain nature thereof or rights to create or obtain copies of products legally held in various forms. I would also argue that performance pieces such as music, movies and television should not receive protection and monetization should focus on a specific presentation, such as concerts or theater showings, rather than attempting to control all reproductions and distributions thereof).

Very well done series. I hope that Stan does more as host. His speech is very engaging.

I wish Stan had addressed First Sale Doctrine and how digital IP has basically tossed that out the window.

Another problem with user generated content is the issue of derivative works. It is hard to determine how much of a new work used the previous work in its creation. There is a gray area as to how much of an original work can be used in a derivative before it is considered a infringement. These are very interesting legal issues that need to be discussed more. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on problems regarding user generated content and it opened my eyes to this issue.

Another great crash course series.

While I do agree that inventors and content creators should get a profit of their work. Especially when house hold 3D printers are around the corner. I do still think that copyright and patent laws as they are now are impeding progress, especially when it comes to software development. And after I've finished the IP series, I'm still not entirely convinced, IP is actually contributing to the number of useful inventions or creative works.

I'm going to miss this series. It was a good 'un!

Hi Crash Course, greetings from Alabama. I've been a big fan since I stumbled upon this channel, last semester. (I'm returning to college after a 15 year sojourn, and my skills are shamefully rusty in everything but reading. ) The American Government series was so useful while I was taking PSC100. Thanks Craig, I got an A! Can Craig or Mike possibly make an English grammar series? Possibly cover Essays and Research Papers? The thought bubbles have been what has given me the 'a-ha' moments, for me. (example: structure, citation, the difference between typing format methods, over coming Southern dialect in writing. ) My daughter is also struggling in 7th grade AP Math, and said that she understood how Hank explained elements. Maybe if he or someone over at Crash Course Kids could cover it? She got a B on her science test, thanks Hank! Lots of love, wickedshizuku

Thanks Stan

Hello Stan, I believe in the usefulness and need of intellectual property. For a long while in my life I attempted to abide by it the best I could... worked really hard at it... it was near maddening to do it all. One day I just broke down about it and I realized it was just madness and I will tell you why. I went into this video thinking if there was someone you could reach maybe it would be me because I was a former member of that choir... But in a system were nonprofit or even purely free sharing is treated the same as claiming something as your own work and making profit off of it... it just doesn't make sense. The enforcement is without any consistency. Lets just call them 'holders' will allow their product to go out like say on KZread to increase interest in a product and then pull it back down. Holders charge a lot for their games... Lets say you want to play older games, in the process of modding/revisioning them there are a lot of IP issues that gets in the way, like a project I strongly support called the "Deus Ex Revision" project. At the same times these holders expect customers to pay MORE for their games now than they were released meaning the profit margin has increased, and in some cases the only reason to go back and get it is because your copy was damaged or has become unusable because of compatibility issues. And if I sit and record the radio and play back the songs later to myself... technically this is taking something I dont have a right to, even when there is no profit or claim of work, and the idea that me lending it to a friend or playing it to myself with my windows down so other people can hear this looted work will make me just as guilty as someone claiming to be taylor swift and making profit off of it is just insanity. All of this is tantamount to making people to pay subscription to something you under a traditional view of this would already have a right to and would at worst be not paying a fair price for artistic genius. But that isn't it anymore. Really it falls down to the Declaration of Human Rights Article 27 in my view. Article 27. (1) Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. (2) Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author. What this ultimately means is that the poor and the individual trying to navigate and fairly pay into this system are being cheated and are not freely (and Im not talking about free of charge) participate in the cultural and artistic life of the community sharing in its benefits. Which is the exact opposite of the need for art and beauty in our culture, I get that they should be paid but how much, and how much do these companies need to make profit off of work that is 10, 20, 30 years old and when that profit margin for these old works continue to increase in value when no new work has been established? When that means that something you should already have a right to in buying it once you don't have because of the complications of new softwear. How are you a single person supposed to carry all of that on your shoulders? The answer I eventually came to was I can't. I'm not Atlas. I'm just a small man trying to make my way in life, have a bit of fun and happiness before I die, and avoid prosecution for crimes that seem outright bogus and everything that is wrong with American capitalism today. The burden is on them... the ones with billion dollar profit margins... to make this easily accessible and reasonably affordable, not me.

Awesome. Thanks for the videos. 1 question: how do you think social entrepreneurs should go about intellectual property? There are people that say social impact is maximized if social entrepreneurs keep stuff open source. Other people say that social entrepreneurs should use IP anyway in order to stay financially healthy, and to attain credibility among partners and investors. Any thoughts? (Anyone?)

"But in the majority of cases in software, patents effect independent invention. Get a dozen sharp programmers together, give them all a hard problem to work on, and a bunch of them will come up with solutions that would probably be patentable, and be similar enough that the first programmer to file the patent could sue the others for patent infringement." - partial quote from John Carmack

My issue with the long term holds on copywrite is linked up to the problem of a few large companies owning large amounts of major amounts of intellectual property. Disney is actually a good example, at current they have of course the full disney franchise but also the Muppets, Star Wars, and the Marvel Canon. Not to mention the films owned by their subsidiaries. Look at all the things that exist between Marvel Star Wars and Disney, it would be very easy for them to stamp out any new intellectual property simply because so many things could be analagous. While this may not be an issue for a large corporation for smaller groups it is likely to have some major consequences.

What episode take up Copyright snatching, ie when a company claim Copyright on something that is (or should be) belonging to the public domain like "Happy Birthday to You" and most of the Disney's stories that are based on older works and often inspired by other artists works.

@Ddub1083

GuyWithAnAmazingHat Music cover videos are covered under license agreements. The labels grant licenses for particular songs for anyone to make cover videos of (hence why many of the same songs are always covered). Otherwise they still need permission to license the work since although they are performing it themselves (and sometimes differently) its still encroaches the original artist's composition copyright, performance copyright and derivative works copyright. Music cover videos ARE NOT covered under fair use at all. For it to be sufficiently transformative would require it be much different than the original work, and it would no longer be a "cover"

GuyWithAnAmazingHat You're singing someone elses song... its copyrighted. Right again many pop songs have automatic licensing and any revenue from those videos is automatically given to the original artists. There is no incident because the revenue is either automatically sent to the licensees or upon them learning of it they file for monetization of the video in their name. Copyright is rather simple... if you didnt create it, you must get permission to use it. There are firms which kinda sit between labels and licensees and you go to them to license a song and they can provide it but normally requires not only a fee but relinquishment of most if not all of the monetization (this is how radio works too). Check out cdbaby or limelight or discmakers. But be careful there are a lot of scams out there that will just take your money without ever getting you a true license.

I think you should only patent something once you bring it to market.

Thalandor46 Because I could copy their works and provide it unilaterally which would decerase the numbers of funders. They fund Crash Course specifically because thats where the content comes from. If all these episodes were spread out over several non-copyrighted platforms then their exposure and ability to raise funds would be greatly reduced. Not to mention that I could usurp those funders or at least some advertising revenue for myself without ever having to input ANY work. That would further diminish their value. However I will concede that crash course may be a bit of a special case because of how it is funded but others copying their works would dillude that value and without copyright theyd have no power to prevent it.

Pirate Bay is the only BEA I need...YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME SAY THAT!!!

Auto license is a better option and generate more revenue for people, and more transformative content would be created, instead of removing content people write profit sharing checks (assumining you nail the original owner issue with block chain or similar method).
