Under copyright infringement
I’m sure you all know of the stuffed animals where you press the hand on the bear and it plays a song. For example, my boyfriend gave me this bear that plays “Lollipop” by the Chordettes whenever I press its palm.
Since these bears play songs that are copyrighted material, why aren’t these stuffed animal companies being sued for copyright infringement?
It’s just not fair that they allow stuffed animal companies to own these songs without threats of infringement suits and/or heavy fines.

Under copyright infringement
Like how far? What if you steal a riff? A melody? A chord progression? Untill it is called copying or copyright infringement?

Under music copyright
I made a video on youtube about 2 months ago, but i was never really happy with the video quality so i decided to remake it.
However, when i went to load up the new version it rejected it because it said the music was under copyright from a third party so i couldnt use it. But it was exactly the same audio as i used before, and it accepted it fine then!
When did the copyright thing start, and could i get suspended over the original vid??

Even if I was using it first? I’ve used the email address, either here or on hotmail, since 2002 and got the nickname in February, 2002 but now somebody is giving me grief about it!!

Under copyright protection
No matter what game companies do to protect their games from piracy, it never seems to work. Spore was given more copyright protection than I think I ever heard of for a game. (thinks the 3 install limit), yet it was cracked almost as soon as it was released.
Meanwhile, the paying customer gets inconvenienced and treated like a criminal. So my question is, if copyright protection measures don’t work, why are the game companies still implementing them? The pirates will still find a way around them and frustrated gamers may not even buy the product.
