youtube author

youtube allows a number of users to upload interesting videos or video blogs about themselves sharing their life. Its a visual creative way of allowing people into your interest and life. Facebook is a communication back and forth style of multimedia

everyone is familiar with the "Leave Britney alone" blogger who was so emotional over all the hype about Britney and her life that he made a very emotional blog over the false statements the media was printing. Can one say that this makes Chris an author. A multimedia author on top of that. Yes he is creating something original and placing his face to the object but many people have recreated this blog since he has posted it.

Would on say that guys or girls singing and remaking songs that have already been released is a form of authorship. Granted there is the users own twist to it but it is not using their own original thoughts or words. But it a sense it is still being publish, does copyright fall into play here, and if it does then how.

For me i feel that to be called an author on youtube is to create something original. The charlie bit me, original and funny in a sense but is an everyday occurrence. Granted it was its own video it has been recreated so many times and placed back on to youtube. The video we watched today in class, definitely a form of authorship, something original and took tons of time to make.
