Son of Strelka- Fair Use

Son of Strelka, Son of God- Chapter 1

The Transformative Factor:

This video passes the transformative factor. The material he took from Barack Obama's audio novel was completely transformed into a new meaning.

The Nature of the Copyrighted Work:

The video passes the Nature of Copyrighted Work test. The video was made from a nonfiction source, and the material he took was already published.

The Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Taken:

This one, is a little more difficult. He took about 30 minutes of the material out of about 10 hours. Some would say that it is a lot, some would say it isn't that much. It basically depends on the judge's opinion.

The Effect of the Use Upon the Potential Market:

The video passes the Effect of the Use Upon the Potential Market because his video didn't really change the people who listened to Obama's book's point of view. Also, not everyone would agree with what was being said in the video. 

Are You Good or Bad?

This passes the Are You Good or Bad test because he wasn't trying to make money off of it. He also wasn't trying to make Obama look bad in any way, either.

         The video Son of Strelka, in my opinion, passes all of the tests. He completely transformed Obama's words into a new meaning, and he didn't use the heart of the material. The material he took was already published and, to me, he really didn't take that much of it. The effect on the potential market was not substantial, and he only had good intentions for his videos. He passes all of the tests.
