Copyright with laughs

This was spotted by Procartoonists.org member Tim Harries. It features on the Paper Wings Podcast, which says:
This video is a real world, straight-shootin’ explanation of copyright law given at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year. Josh Wattles is the adviser-in-chief to deviantART and is a funny lawyer (imagine that) who describes the nature of fandom candidly – both its benefits to the copyright holder and the problems.
A look at the notoriously tricky subject of copyright law with laughs? Sounds good to us. Read more on this here.

Just to be clear, I took that quote from the Paper Wings Podcast article. I would hate to be accused of copyright infringement!

Thanks for the clarification, Tim. I have amended the post to keep the lawyers at bay!
