INDICARE Summarizes JibJab Saga
Posted by Ernest Miller
INDICARE (INformed DIalogue about Consumer Acceptability of dRm solutions in Europe) has an editorial that does a pretty good job of summarizing the entire JibJab saga (Knock Out by Copyright Expiration: The JibJab Media Inc. v Ludlow Music Inc. Copyright Affair Watched from a Distance). The abstract:
This Editorial is about two intertwined success stories, and a third derivative one about copyright. It is about the success of Woody Guthrie’s song “This Land is Your Land”, and the success of JibJab Media’s web animation “This Land. A parody of Woody Guthrie’s”. Our focus is on the copyright thread, which runs in parallel and ties both stories together. Although at the time of writing the case seems to be settled, many relevant questions remain open.
