RE: No Child Can Live In Pain's Distress - Hearing The Voiceless Cries of Children - Enjoy with Troy!
@steemcleaners This person has for months been using people's copyrighted material and changing up the words in the songs to make money off steemit.
I know all about copyrighted material and the laws therein, having worked for BMI and ASCAP for many years. I also know how song parodies work. This is for the greater good of being a voice for the children trafficked by the CPS. It serves the greater good.
Hardly. One you can't use the copyrighted music exactly, which you do by placing the video on the site. Just changing the words doesn't hit it. That's copyright infringement to the "t". Furthermore any use of copyrighted material used as a parody can't have a negative effect upon the original material, which is exactly what your material is doing. I find it offensive that you just assume that the many, many artist whom you've used over the last several months would agree or that their millions of followers would agree that it constitute good taste using their material in negation. The supreme court has explicitly ruled that use of copyrighted material for negation purposes is not permitted. Meaning parody use that is fun, enlightening does not harm the artist. @steemcleaners
