Public Knowledge YouTube Copyright School Video Challenge
In an attempt to educate its users about copyright law, YouTube has debuted a "Copyright School" video that explains why videos are removed from YouTube. While "Copyright School" does a great job of telling you what you can't do with copyrighted content, it does a very poor job of telling you what you can do with copyrighted content--namely, remix, reuse and repurpose content without permission from the rightsholder as allowed under the doctirine of fair use. So here's our challenge to you: can you make a better video than YouTube that explains both what you can and can't do with copyrighted content? Watch the video above to find out how you can win $1000 and have your video featured on the Public Knowledge website! * Must be 18 years or older and a legal resident of the United States at the time of entry. If you win, we will contact you via YouTube, so make sure you can be reached via your YouTube account! Read the offical rules here bit.ly
