Fair Use StatisticsThis is a featured page


On Thursday, October 30th we will check the 20 most recently uploaded videos on YouTube every 2 hours to get a sample of 240 videos looking for videos that appropriate material in a way that is within the guidelines of Fair Use but may violate the DMCA in that the material was likely ripped from a DVD or recorded from Television.

Place a number (out of 20) in the appropriate field. For example, if 3 of the videos were Movie Remixes, place a 3 under Movie Remix.

All times are Central times.

Film Analysis (probably about 10,000 of these)
Examining Mistakes (144,000 in search, but hard to determine how many exactly)

YouTube Poop (based on this link, it would appear that most vids are made by downloading other YouTube vids, not by ripping (though the original source was probably ripped)

other notable (non-DVD/film) remixes:

Fuck Planet Earth (over 52,000 views)
Remix Advertisements
