"A 3 hour long film seems to be a bit of a violation of the fair use rules"

It would be. However, since it's hosted on YouTube... and YouTube is seemingly pretty good at removing content that violates copyrights (sometimes overly so), because they have a clear process in place for flagging/reporting violations, and contesting rights... I'm giving it a pass. For all we know, the video was placed there by an authorized agent of the copyright holder.

I would cite that YouTube is a streaming site, not a download site, but I know that there are ways...

Oh, and just because I feel that the link is okay... remember that there are more trusted users who can decide to vote yea or nay. I'm not always correct, especially in these questionable types of situations. And I invite whatever discussion is relevant.

CJ its right there in the posting guidelines and has been actively enforced for years.

Do not post direct links to complete copyrighted works. Links provided by (or approved by) the copyright holder may be exempt.

I'd have left the link if it was a 1,2 or a five minute clip, but a 3 hour full copyrighted and trademarked film is really calling for deletion.

Yes, from the Posting Guidelines

"Links provided by (or approved by) the copyright holder may be exempt."


Also from the FAQ page regarding posts being removed because of links to copyrighted material:

"... to illegally hosted copyrighted materials.

We don't know if the content, in this case the entire copyrighted video, was posted on YouTube legally or illegally. If it is not legal, the copyright holder has remedies on YouTube's site to have the video removed.


"... but a 3 hour full copyrighted and trademarked film is really calling for deletion.

We've left YouTube (and other video hosting/streaming sites) links other complete copyrighted works before, as they were either copyright / royalty free or posted to YouTube be an authorized agent for the copyright holder... or simply not-contested by the copyright holder. But that's not really our call, it's YouTube's responsibility, as they are the ones hosting it.


The way that I've interpreted the rules regarding links to copyrighted materials over the years is that Paul's main concern was that Metamorphose.org not become a link repository for illegal copyrighted works. That's why I've usually given a "pass" to links where the content is hosted on a site that has a clear copyright remediation procedure in place... and that that procedure / link doesn't dead-end somewhere (as best I can tell).


I really feel that in the interest of consistency, that we reinstate the link. Like I said above, I'm not the boss, so we'll let other's weigh in and then make a decision. In the meantime, the link remains removed. Thanks for your input and attention to keeping things legal The Man.

You know what, this is a great discussion for its own post too.

Comments about the material go here. Comments from Trusted Users (or Paul) about the yea or nay on the link to this material also go here. Comments about links to copyrighted material, in general, will belong on another thread I'll create.
