A special message from the founder of Jean Hansen's Experience:
We strive to bring you videos that serve to preserve American Entertainment History. JHE presents these videos in a way that provides historical perspective as well as educates the viewer with video commentary on the subject being presented.
While you may have seen portions of these videos in assorted qualities on UA-cam or elsewhere, there are those, who think because they have a COPY of a video that they own the copyright to said video. And whether due to ignorance to the use of intellectual property, personal pride or jealousy, choose to report the video to UA-cam for infringement.
For those that choose this route, I suggest that they keep in mind and ask themselves the following before doing so:
Is the video you are reporting 'transformative', meaning does it alter the original work either quantitatively or qualitatively?
If the answer is Yes, the video is being used within 'Fair Use' and even if a use does not necessarily alter the original in substance, if it does something to add a new meaning or message to it, it is still likely to be considered 'transformative'.
In closing, reporting a video opens a legal proceeding and should not be done recklessly or without careful consideration. It can also mean suspension or termination of an account for those that abuse this feature, so tread carefully.
With that said, on with the show!!!
Miss Jean Hansen
