DAYS: Will classic episodes ever be available?
If you read my entire post, it was (hopefully?) clear what I was saying. The passage from the Harvard site that you cited is just headers, but if you read the details, there is more explanation. We can't just claim our video postings are "nonprofit educational use". There are specific definitions for each aspect. The CSMI site is clear.

The interview with Janet Jackson in the Guardian was conducted "a few weeks before the sudden death of her brother Tito". Hopefully her understanding has grown since then. But yeah sad to see such misinformation being spread.

That is an inaccurate understanding of "fair use". Fair use via Wikipedia (disclaimer that anybody can mess up Wikipedia. Always check the sources they reference) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Fair use from Harvard: https://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use This link is very applicable: Fair use from CSMI ("Center for Media & Social Impact" at American University) as it applies to online video: https://cmsimpact.org/code/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video/ I am not an attorney but this is my *very limited* understanding of what I read in those links: Fair use via Commentary: A single short clip can sometimes be used as fair use -- if it used *inside* a long commentary review or essay discussing the original work. But a daily series of clips with little typed words other than the original airdate, character names, and brief description -- does not meet that "commentary" test for fair use. And note that they give a cautionary warning of an example that doesn't meet fair use: a full-length book contained a quoted passage that was the crux of the original work, and it was ruled to not meet fair use. It matters what is quoted. Fair use via a new creation: Fair use could be a single clip or a few clips that are made into a parody or mashup, or a montage, if the result is something that could be considered a truly NEW creative work, created by the person posting it, but even then the background music is under separate copyright. (We have all seen great montages taken down due to music copyright). Posting a few show clips with no edits inside a single tweet -- that might not be considered a new creative work. Fair use via Teaching: Well if you were teaching a course in soap operas at a university, maybe in a limited way, but still you would need permissions (per the Harvard link). I once had a temp job for a university where we had to write to every publisher to get permission to use books in classroom coursework. Very complicated. important: https://cmsimpact.org/code/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video/ "LIMITATION: The use should not be so extensive or pervasive that it ceases to function as critique and becomes, instead, a way of satisfying the audience’s taste for the thing (or the kind of thing) that is being quoted. In other words, the new use should not become a market substitute for the work (or other works like it)." -------- That being said, Sony (or whoever Sony uses for this) has algorithms that detect the videos, and flag them for copyright violations, flagging them to report to twitter or youtube, etc. That process would be automated to catch anything that might be a violation. Even if someone's fan video *is* fair use, they'd have to prove that it is fair use, and they could lose their twitter or YT channel in the meantime.

The Media/Journalism Thread
In that Puck piece, they mention that the New York magazine editor Haskell "had been fending off a separate P.R. controversy regarding an article about cat owners and new mothers." The Puck author didn't link to that but said we could google it. Oh I vividly remember that horrid article, unfortunately, and I'm so glad Puck didn't link to it because it was horrific. That article was in New York magazine's "the Cut" section and published August 12 -- at the time, I happened across it being slammed online, and read part of it, but it was so gross that, at the time, I couldn't stomach reading the whole thing. Back then, I didn't even notice who the publisher was, because I was so angry at the anonymous author. But the description today in Puck made realize where I had seen it, and I easily found it just now, and read it in full. The Cut/ NewYork Magazine did a several-part series on pet ownership. This particular article was anonymously written by a woman with a new baby who severely neglected her cat and hoped the cat might die. I guess they thought it was trendy or edgy or something? It was really horrific. At the bottom of the online version of that article: hundreds of angry comments from readers. It's not relevant to the topic being discussed here of Olivia Nuzzi's lack of journalistic integrity. But it is relevant to the topic of the ickiness of nymag.com and its editor trying to clean up the magazine's messes. The original article had an opening blurb paragraph in italics, explaining that it was "part of a series on the ethics of pet ownership". I see now that the magazine has since updated that blurb to add more sentences onto it, with their attempt to clean up the controversy by giving some indirect verification that the cat is okay but... still. ewww. Here are links to the original, and the version with attempt to fix it in the opening blurb. TRIGGER warning: Don't read this if you want to stay sane. Or just read and compare the opening blurbs and don't read the actual article. August 12, 2024 original article -- version archived August 16 when it had 204 reader comments https://archive.ph/909SE Sept. 19, 2024 version with updated opening blurb (354 reader comments) https://archive.is/0m9X5

Y&R September 2024 Discussion Thread
I see the closing credits updated the surnames of Sharon and Devon back in July, but I just noticed it. Devon announced he was changing his name from Devon Hamilton to Devon Winters in May 2023 - when Malcolm and Harmony/Yolanda visited and they all paid tribute to Neil at the Jazz Lounge. Name change to Winters finally reflected in closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.) Sharon had been going by "Sharon Rosales" ever since she married Rey, and kept that name as Rey's widow. I remember when she did the grand opening party for the business she inherited from Cameron Kirsten and formerly changed its name from Kirsten something to Cassie something, Nick gave her a desk nameplate saying "Sharon Newman", and that seemed odd (to me) since she had never announced changing her name back to Newman. I stopped watching regularly months ago. Has Sharon ever confirmed she changed it? Sharon name change to Newman reflected in the same closing credits airing when Devon's names was changed in the credits: closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.) Are both of these just overdue errors that the show staff finally noticed? Or were these changes mentioned in character dialogues? fyi @YRfan23 ------------------- ------------------ Closing credits for U.S. week of July 15-19, 2024 (actor credits aired Canada Fri.

Yes. Per what edgeofnik and I said on this thread five months ago at (Link to post) @Errol per what we said in that old post, and also edgeofnik's new post above, what about soccer preemptions, football promos, etc. Have they thought about that at all, or is it more depending on what happens with the election etc?- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Quoting the end of Karla's IG post: "Extra shout out to my partner in all things @hh_john_djoser_r for saying yes to this adventure. Big vision. Big changes. Big rewards. We are blessed" Sounds like Karla's life partner John (father of her children) is on board with "this adventure", and I would *speculate* that either she or all of them will be moving to Atlanta or spending lots of time there?- BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

Yeah that's what I was referring to, the crackdown in early and mid 2010s. That period was when Sony hired the outside firm to do the crackdowns. The name of the firm they used back then was "Entura". I don't remember if the takedown notices said "Sony" or "Entura" back then. I think it was mostly youtube takedowns at first, so youtube might not have said who it was on their notices. I think it spread to crackdowns on other video platforms. I see that Entura was acquired by "Corsearch" in 2021. https://corsearch.com/about/press-releases/corsearch-enhances-digital-piracy-protection-with-acquisition-of-london-based-entura/ To be honest, I don't know how Sony is doing it nowadays, does Sony have an internal division that does this, or do they hire a business to do this on their behalf? But regardless, the Sony name now appears on copyright crackdown notices that are given to twitter accounts.- The Politics Thread
