    Fair Use Tale Vs Disney Case Study

    Once something is in the public domain it can never be removed from the public domain. The consequence for copyright infringement is decided by the judge. You can get off with a simple cease of the work or get a hard punishment of getting sued. Copyright infringement is when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner. The copyright owner isn’t always the creator it can also be the company or organizan that owns the right to the work. The reason why we have copyright laws is so people who make creative work or show creative expression have protection from others who would wish to copy and take credit for work they didn’t make or do. Although there is a limit to how long a copyright can last .Walt Disney (the copyright owners) can sue Mr. Faden for copyright infringement, but Mr. Faden is claiming fair use. Fair Use a law that allows you to use small portions of copyrighted materials under certain circumstances. Those circumstances include: commentary and criticism,parody and satire, quoting, news reporting, and educational…

    Walt Disney and His Magic Spread Through America

    It’s a fair fact that not one person who hasn’t heard or knows of Walt Disney exists. Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5th, 1901. After dropping out of high school to drive ambulances in World War 1, he returned in 1919 to Kansas City, Kansas, for an apprenticeship as a commercial artist. By 1922, Disney has set up a shop with his brother, Roy Disney, and collaborator, Ub Iwerks; they created the business Laugh-o-Grams, which specialized in short cartoons, and the magic began from there and is forever growing stronger. The article “Walter Elias Disney” states, “His (Disney) insistence on technical perfection and his unsurpassed gifts as story editor quickly pushed his firm ahead. The invention of such cartoon characters as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie, and Goofy combined with the daring and innovative use of music, sound, and folk material (as in The Three Little Pigs) made the Disney shorts of the 1930s a phenomenon of worldwide success.”(“Walter Elias Disney”, 1) Some might say Disney’s work was uneducational, was a waste of space, and just plain silly. Walt Disney made a positive impact on America, because of how his entertaining work made life for other bearable, how he had the ability to cause people to change perspective on anything and everything, and by how he introduced technological innovations and transformed animation.…

    Cinderella Vs Disney Research Paper

    Growing up I can remember how I felt after watching the Cinderella story. Inspired by the rags-to-riches fairy tale, I can remember hoping that maybe someday I could be like Cinderella. I never imagined the story I knew all-too-well would have been dramatically altered from its original version. Though the lesson remains the same, comparisons reveal numerous differences between Walt Disney’s Cinderella to the earlier Charles Perrault’s “Cinderella: Or the Glass Slipper”. Variations are noticed in characters, events, and outcomes of this world-famous…

Although the Grimm brothers would surely be pleased with how their work has become spread throughout the world since their deaths, there is one thing that they would likely hate, and that is Disney's rewriting and changing of their fairy tales original forms to children's movies with no regard for the original aspects.

    Appropriation Art: Johnson Okpaluba

    Okpaluba discusses the concept of the ‘fair use doctrine’, and in doing so outlines three methods in which the United Sates and the United Kingdom excuse copyright infringement: 1) original work is not subject to protection; 2) the defendant did not make a “copy”; 3) the use of copied material falls within the exemption (Okpaluba, p198). Continuing in support of appropriation art, Okpaluba illustrates how users can win infringement cases because appropriation art serves as a valid function and as a means of creation and social criticism; this function allows artists to divulge a reaction from the public and interpret different meanings of cultural icons (Okpaluba, p198).…
