How well do you understand copyright and trademark law? When you travel about the Internet or make art, do you know what you are and aren't allowed to do, or do you have intellectual property myths stuck in your brain. We take a few claims we've seen time and again, and compare them to the law.

Leaked Sony e-mails show states' top lawyers and studios are closer than ever.

For Brad Rosen's CPSC 183 Class

Lyrics:

(Blurred Lines)
Ok you wrote a song,
A tune that swept the nation,
But then us college kids,
we made an imitation

We took the melody
used it for parody
we used it fairly

So if you want to take
Some sort of legal action
Well I can guarantee,
You’ll get no satisfaction

You start assuming,
that you can sue me,
but you can’t sue me

(Chorus: Respect)

F-A-I-R U-S-E, find out what it means to me
F-A-I-R U-S-E, Brownmark v. LLC
(Transformative, Transformative!)

(Partition)
Driver turn up the remixes please,
You ain’t trying to see college kids displeased,
Heard “Wrecking Ball” ‘bout a million times,
but mix it with it with a house beat, then I get hype,
Cus I hear it in a new context that I like
The has a different melody than the old one might
that has a different set of goals that puts it in a new light
so you don’t have to bother with the legal fight

(Talk Dirty To Me)
Talk legal to me
Talk legal to me
Talk legal to me
Talk legal to me

(Chorus)

(I Know I’m Not The Only One)
You might think we made a vow,
I’d never use your works,
Unless you signed permission down,
You think that they’d stay all yours

You say I’m lazy, because I used a part of your song,
But I transformed it baby,
and your anaconda might want some
your anaconda might want some
your anaconda might want some
your anaconda might want some

(The Count Censored)
You know they call me the Count
Because I really love to (transform original works)
I could sit and (remix) all day
Sometimes I get carried away

I (mix) slowly, slowly, slowly getting faster
Once I've started (mixing) it's really hard to stop
Faster, faster. It is so exciting!
I (dub) count forever, (mix) until I drop

Hey!
1! 2! 3! 4!
1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4,
1-2, i love (mixing) whatever the amount hey!
1-2-3-4, heyyayaya heyyayaya that's the song
of the count!

What's wrong with measure 17?
(Chorus)
