Guys...I have a question that I hope someone amongst the vast sea of knowledge around here knows something about. I recently crossed paths with a picture of a racing accident from an event from back around 1985. I knew the accident well because it was a fairly memorable incident and plus...I had the video of the event that that accident occurred in and the accident was caught on tape. I thought it would be cool to somehow capture a clip of that incident so that todays fans can take a look at it. Well...first of all...going back so far, the original video was on cassette. I had long ago transferred the video over to DVD format. With this thought of providing the video of this accident so that others can view it...I began to investigate the process of doing so so that I could eventually get it on YouTube. It was a process, but I managed to figure it out. My question is this....the videographer who authored the tape has long since passed away....I actually think I remember him committing suicide for one reason or another. Anyway....at the beginning of each video...he has a quick screen flash that states the video is copyrighted. Whether that was just stuck in there for effect or whether his stuff was actually copyrighted...I am not sure. But I wish to respect copyright laws. But, since the guy...his name was Larry E. Horn, since he passed away years ago...would this make any copyrighted stuff by him null and void and could I do such a thing as get his video up on YouTube for todays fans to enjoy some racing from the past? Credit would be given to him with each video clip...whether it be what he added to the beginning of each tape...or the same thing added to any short clips pulled from the full version. I am not looking to break any laws...just want to do the right thing. It's a bit of work to do the process of making clips...but I would enjoy doing it, but if it were to be illegal...I would have to think about moving forward with the whole deal. Anyone?
