Any updates on the situation? I just posted a few more comments in response to what some of the other commenters said.

Satire is protected by "Fair Use," but since the video is making fun of V-day and gifts, not the photo itself, I don't know if the fair use defense would hold up in court. Since the meaning, impact, message, etc of the video wouldn't be changed without that one photo, I think the videographer would have to remove the photo. I really hope this makes it to court. There is so much copyright infringement on the internet, bet there are relative so few cases that every see the light of day. That needs to change if we ever want to have faith in the protection of copyright again.


No money for lawsuits and lawyers, so nothing more that I can do. The videographer is an asshole and will not remove the photo. I hope one day he is on the receiving end of having his art stolen....oh wait, first he has to produce something that even resembles true art. :P


Do you think the company that has exclusive rights to the image will pursue the case?

So let me get this straight...I can take any image off any site including DPC. Post it as my own in a youtube video in any manner I wish.

If the owner sees it he can complain -
The thief can then say to youtube "this is my photo" -
Youtube tells the owner (you) that you have to file suit-
When youtube gets notice of this suit, then they will take the photo down -

I guess this is good to some extent - otherwise I could go to youtube and point out photos in any video and say they're mine and insist that they be taken down.

I don't agree with it, but I see why they need the "proof" from you.
