Since issues of copyright and fair use come up periodically, I
thought this might be of interest:

The editing (in the video sense of the word) could use a bit of work,
but it's still a wonderfully in-your-face challenge to the existing
"copyright hegemony" and a decent explication of the basic concepts.
I'll be verrrrry interested to see whether Disney lets this stand or
challenges it in court. I suspect the creators are secretly hoping
for a legal challenge so they can establish a precedent.

If you're a fan of Disney films, you'll probably also have a lot of
fun playing "what movie was that?" with some of the more obscure clips.
