One Riser Release on Cutaway Video

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the same video, but based on the discussion, the following link seems to work and seems to fit the description above...

From the ground video at the start:

The only thing that can be bad about this would be if John blacks out...



Methinks that everyone knew what was in store for this jump.

My version is up on FB and Chris can post it somewhere if he wants.

Cliff notes (summary for non-Americans): idiots staged a one sided riser release after (stable) line twists and cut the hung up riser with a hook knife. Based on the decision to cut the very stable line twists, the speed of figuring out what went wrong and the cutting of the riser with the hook knife (not to mention the lame, scripted exclamations from those involved) it's pretty obviously staged. I think I see one of the cutaway cables is not attached to the cutaway handle too and that's my theory on how they set it up.

I'm thinking it was either posted to youtube by mistake (or made public by mistake) or they were actually dumb enough to think that people couldn't tell it was staged.

I guess whoever made this video doesn't want people to know how stupid it was. I guess I'll just send the video to the USPA or something.

Same reason the last (my) youtube link came down so quickly...obviously someone doesn't want it up there. Doesn't change the fact that it's still out there...

One on youtube...always on youtube...

Unfortunately that still doesn't change the fact that it's not my video and still falls under copyright laws...

Sorry...



It may be argued that since it was originally posted by the owner in a public site, and then re-posted for principally educational purposes, that it falls withing the Fair Use exception.

In fact, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, if YouTube (or Facebook, etc.) removed the re-posted video because the video owner claimed it violated a copyright, and the person who re-posted it formally notifies YouTube/Facebook/whatever to restore the video because it is within the scope of fair use, it may be argued that the Act requires YouTube/Facebook/whatever to restore it within 2 weeks of the request.

yet another reason why facebook and you tube are for little girls.......:S



Really? Just Because someone wants to share something with friends doesnt mean they want the world to pick it apart and tell them how stupid they are without any background info. I mean people in this thread are going crazy and threatening to send the video to USPA....come on...seriously?

I upload BASE videos all the time. I do it for my friends and family. I understand by putting them on the web that i am losing control and others can see the vids too. Do i care? No. However, if I posted a vid and a bunch of skydivers started reposting it places and trash talking me and the video then I will admit I would take the exact same action these guys did and try my hardest to not let people see it anymore. Why? Out of pure spite. Also to protect myself. I mean if people here are threating to go to the USPA then how do i know they also would send the video to the cops?

Now what are we left with? NOTHING. We had what looked to be a staged jump in an attempt to prove or disprove something, and now we wont know the results because a few people decided to throw the term stupid around a few too many times. Was it stupid? I dont know, it depends on the background. I for one would be very interested in the results of an unsuccessful cutaway since it still occurs and is still killing people.

I haven't read or really thought about the DMCA in years, but how could the act require them to restore it? Aren't they private companies, able to remove what they choose for whatever reason they choose?

My reference was a bit abbreviated. Basically, the Act says that if a host initially removes or diables a posted work because it receives a copyright complaint from an alleged copyright owner under the Act's "notice and takedown" procedures, but SUBSEQUENTLY receives a "counter-notice and restore" demand from the original poster, the host must (a) promptly notify the alleged copyright owner of the dispute and (b) replace/restore the disputed material within two weeks, UNLESS the matter is referred to court (i.e., a lawsuit is filed). (If a lawsuit is filed, then the host is allowed to keep the material down either until the lawsuit is resolved in the poster's favor, or the lawsuit is dismissed, or a court issues an order directing the host to restore the work, whichever comes first.)

As I said, my first reference was more abbreviated. ;)

I'm not going to do that, I was just irritated that original poster was obviously aware of this thread and not willing to justify their actions. Do they have to? No. If you want background, the responsible person knows about this thread and isn't willing to give it. We had the video but apparently criticism caused the the vigorously remove any instance of the video.

There are plenty of reasons (IMO) to call the jump in the video stupid, not least of which was the pathetic attempts to act like it was real.

So, did the original owner retract their copyright claim or am I missing something in the wording of that?

I'm not the original owner if that's what you though...



No, the original owner did not retract the copyright claim, but anyone who re-posted the video on YouTube, or Facebook, etc. and had it removed can contact the host, and request that it be restored under the fair use provision. The host must then notify the copyright owner; and unless the host is advised that the matter has been referred to court (lawsuit filed), the host must restore the video within 2 weeks.

Once we knew it was a hoax, can we really claim fair use on educational grounds?

Andy,

Forgive my legal ignorance but wouldnt fair use be irrelevant here since we are talking about reposting a video to a website that makes a profit from selling ad space on the pretense of using the content to attract people?

I don't think so, since the poster is not posting it for a commercial purpose. Key in on the poster, not the host site (as long as they are separate entities).

Sure: "Hey, everyone - check this video out. Never do what this twat did, especially if you're not jumping a tersh."
That makes it an ejumacational purpose.

Below is an example from wikipedia. I know, that doesnt make it fact, but it is a similar situation. Where the poster did not intend to make a profit yet a judge still said it didnt qualify as fair use:

"But a non-profit educational website that reproduces whole articles from technical magazines will probably be found to infringe if the publisher can demonstrate that the website affects the market for the magazine, even though the website itself is non-commercial.
Free Republic, LLC, owner of the political website freerepublic.com, was found liable for copyright infringement in L.A. Times v. Free Republic for reproducing and archiving full-text versions of plaintiffs' news articles even though the judge found the website minimally commercial. She held that "while defendants' do not necessarily 'exploit' the articles for commercial gain, their posting to the Free Republic site allows defendants and other visitors to avoid paying the 'customary price' charged for the works." "


So, i would interpret this in this situation as, although we are claiming fair use under education, by reproducing the video on YouTube, or even this site, where profits are made, it would be an infringement.

If I am wrong in my assumption it is due to my legal ignorance, just trying to connect the dots. ;)
