World Championships 2007 Final Vids

[Joe biebel]

Thanks Ignition! The quality is quite good and the fencing inspiring. Thanks Again.

[FoilyDeath]

I foresee legalities.

Not as long as you simply embed...as long as people submit them to youtube, all copyright is pretty much forfeit(I think). Of course, thats the advantage of hosting them on a different website altogether: you can make a different terms of service. Then of course there is the entire bandwidth problem.

Or at the least, set up an archive of LINKS to YouTube, with descriptions thereof. No legalities there!

[KD5MDK]

More accurately, the legalities are YouTube's problem (not gone), and not yours.

I'll just need a couple of volunteers to write up some descriptions of the videos.

You are very misguided.

A Few Guiding Principles

It doesn't matter how long or short the clip is, or exactly how it got to YouTube. If you taped it off cable, videotaped your TV screen, or downloaded it from some other website, it is still copyrighted, and requires the copyright owner's permission to distribute.

It doesn't matter whether or not you give credit to the owner/author/songwriter—it is still copyrighted.

It doesn't matter that you are not selling the video for money—it is still copyrighted.

It doesn't matter whether or not the video contains a copyright notice—it is still copyrighted.

It doesn't matter whether other similar videos appear on our site—it is still copyrighted.

It doesn't matter if you created a video made of short clips of copyrighted content—even though you edited it together, the content is still copyrighted.

This is what I was getting at.

These youtube videos are ripped vids, and they are illegal. I have no moral objection to the ripping of videos, but I'm not a frickin idiot, and I wouldn't want any part of a lawsuit.

Pay $5 and watch the videos on WCSN.

Pay $5 and watch the videos on WCSN.

If you're American.
(or have access to a proxy in the states...)

I think it would be hard to be blamed for watching a video on YouTube, expecting you to know the copyright status. It's entirely possible and in some cases likely that the material was uploaded with the permission of the copyright holder. However, it's a very different thing to UPLOAD a file, since you should know pretty well if you have rights to distribute the work or not.

[Emfuser]

Watching the MF videos makes me sad for what has happened to foil since the new timings were introduced.

Legalities aside, Women's Foil Teams, last few bouts of the final:

seriously, why'd you choose that domain... nice upload. thnx!

[Joe biebel]

Wow. The women's foil team match, the final touch (by penalty) to give Poland the win, was amazing. I mean, I've seen much worse covering target, with the mask, where it was not seen or ignored. I thought it was right and took a lot of guts. I'm curious, not being able to understand the German announcer, whether it was explained and whether the vid replay was used to make the call.

[Neinteen]

How do you know that it was for covering target and anything without understanding German?

[KD5MDK]

He's just that good.

[Neinteen]

He's just that good.

Wow.

[Joe biebel]

He's just that good.

Nah. Actually, I missed it the first time around at normal speed. What tipped me off was the slo-mo replay and the other fencer looking to the invisible assesuer. It was not called immediatly, which makes me think it was "upon further review".

The interesting thing is that Gruchala, had just been carded for something (numerous things going on, so it could have been technical or behavior related) to tie the score with only a few seconds left. The match goes into sudden death with Poland having priority in the last minute. Exciting stuff.

SWWWEEEEEEETTTT!
Thanks for the posting.
