A Fair(y) Use Tale & Thomas the Tank Engine feat. 50 Cent

I just wanted to post these two videos to show:
(a) how fair use works in terms of current laws, and
(b) how fair use can be utilized to create something really awesome, by mashing together two pieces of media you wouldn't normally expect to see together.

First, "A Fair(y) Use Tale". Quote from a Stanford Law School Center For Internet and Society blog:
Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University created this humorous, yet informative, review of copyright principles delivered through the words of the very folks we can thank for nearly endless copyright terms.




Secondly, an example of fair use in which the creators mashed-up audio visual material from a 50 Cent video together with the opening credits sequence from the beloved children's television series Thomas The Tank Engine.
