This article provides a harsh criticism to YouTube, saying that it encroaches upon the "legitimacy and perhaps even survival of forms of vernacular creativity." This source was found through Project Muse and published in the "Cinema Journal." In regards to my project, it will be useful to have an opposing perspective to the videos posted upon YouTube. This perspective will help me to determine my theories and opinions on user-generated remixes and extensions of popular media.

This section of YouTube's website deals with all issues of copyright. It provides a help in all manners of copyright, including how to tell if something is copyright protected, how to get permission, and how to provide credit to the original owner of an idea or material. This website will be helpful in my research. Using YouTube's definitions, I can begin to understand how credit and ownership is decided for content and videos. This will also help me to understand the rules for "borrowing" copyrighted material and distinguish what is classified as copyright.

This article deals with the topic of "fair use," which is the copyright doctrine that allows the use of copyrighted works in certain circumstances without having to gain the owner's permission. It also correlated "fair use" with the popular video sharing website YouTube. This source was found through the database Project Muse. It was printed in the University of Texas Press. Its information is credible and useful. As for my project, this article will be helpful in determining if "fair use" applies in connection with fan remix videos of Twilight. Once this is determined, I will be able to better define the creators of these remixes.

(This may already have been posted by someone else - not sure.) Someone may have an interest in this little video. I don't know if I would use it myself or not. The author of Where the Wild Things Are talks about his story being represented in the movie coming out in October. I also like his thoughts on not talking down to kids, the movie has to "respect kids." Enjoy. :)

This master's thesis uses sociological methods to discover why Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" series has become such a cult phenomenon. This article is relevant to my project, which focuses on YouTube "remixes" of the popular series. This article will help to explain why such a large portion of the population is attracted to the series. It may also be useful in ascertaining the force that drives the creators of the videos perpetuate their multimedia expressions.

You tube is a website where you can find uploaded videos ranging anywhere from concerts, music videos, tv shows, movies, and public uploads.

There are 340,000 video results for Twilight. Some are trailers made by fans in anticipation of the movies, spoofs, remixes, alternate endings - and the most creative - a Twilight puppet show.

Web watch What began with high school boredom became a YouTube sensation. Since their posting in May, videos featuring Josh Womack's bat-spinning trick have gone viral. Through Monday, the four clips have received over 4.5 million views. The video shows Womack, a former second-round MLB draft pick who has made it as high as AAA, performing the "Tray Flip," in which he horizontally spins a bat 360 degrees in stride with his swing. Developed in high school batting practice, the trick's success has surprised the outfielder. "Everyone wants to be in the spotlight but I didn't really know how to handle it,

I find this video especially interesting because it suggests that Internet users are taking advantage of online anonymity by using their ambiguity to connect with others. The video explains that even if a person's identity remains unknown, other people still seek comfort in knowing that someone else is out there in the world that has had experiences and gone through struggles similar to their own. I think this site relates to my research topic because it shows how almost anyone can become an anonymous online author even if they do not consider themselves a writer. Individuals can send in items such as postcards and post sentences or just words onto a website where other people can read and connect with the material.

This website deals with remix videos. It allows people to create their own remixes as well as informs them about the laws regulating copyright and remix issues. This is another forum, like YouTube and Creative Commons, that encourages and allows users to interact, recreate, and remix the topic of his or her liking. It will be helpful to my topic by providing yet another example of the fascination and movement toward interacting with a published and copyrighted item. It also helps me to define how remixing videos should be governed.
