Mean Disney Girls (Copyright)

This is seriously so funny. It doesn't cite things like it should, and it uses more than 30 seconds of audio (though I'm not sure if this is different, because it is not a song, it is just movie audio, which it is less than 10% of, but still not cited).

At first, I thought, "this is sooooo not fair use," but then I remebered that parodies were permissible. I feel like this is a parody, or a critique on Mean Girls/Disney, in which case it would be permissible to use the audio/visual copyrighted material in this way.

  1. Oh my lands this is brilliant! As far as copyright laws . . . I don't know. They seem somewhat obsolete to me, but that probably means that I'm going to deal with a nasty lawsuit someday. That's interesting that it's okay as long as it's a parody. Who decides that? The parody police? When I get hit with that nasty lawsuit, could I just say it's a parody? :) I'm just being silly.

    Great video! They did a good job matching voices with animation.
