Misc: Copyright -- a primer

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Since issues of copyright and fair use come up periodically, I  
thought this might be of interest:

The editing (in the video sense of the word) could use a bit of work,  
but it's still a wonderfully in-your-face challenge to the existing  
"copyright hegemony" and a decent explication of the basic concepts.  
I'll be verrrrry interested to see whether Disney lets this stand or  
challenges it in court. I suspect the creators are secretly hoping  
for a legal challenge so they can establish a precedent.

If you're a fan of Disney films, you'll probably also have a lot of  
fun playing "what movie was that?" with some of the more obscure clips.
