So, that kind of solves that dilemna. I have been watching the Tornado Chasers webisodes and debating whether or not to just go ahead and vid out my ridiculous crush on Reed Timmer (and his dog), because seriously...I have been having a crappy, crappy couple of weeks and the dude has been making me laugh when nothing else does which is priceless right now(also, bonus if I did I'd be able to include Chris making the Best Faces Ever, which I had to leave out of the other vid when I had to cut the teams for space). But. But. The site TOS is dead clear that it includes non-commercial use of the footage on it's no-no list.
And, like, I absolutely 100 percent believe in the legal arguments in favor of vidding as fair use and transformative blah, blah. That is an argument I will throw down on in principle? And were it a major network or whatever I'd be all 'come at me, bro'. I have literally zero qualms about using Storm Chasers footage. Zero. But I wouldn't want to make it with just the Discovery channel footage. And the question of whether or not I want to have that argument with a bunch of dudes just trying to make a living doing what they love...nah, I really don't. Particularly if the motivation to vid is because they make me happy, and making them unhappy is kind of counterproductive, and not a very nice way to pay back the joy I have gotten?
Real people are tricky, I guess. Which sort of leads me into a thing I had been contemplating doing anyway, but I wonder if there's any interest? I was sort of considering proposing a Vividcon panel on vidding reality tv and RPF from aspects of both the technical and ethical challenges it can bring. What do y'all think?
