Rachel E. S. Loesche<p>If I record myself reading a copyrighted book and share the recording with some friends (for free), is that copyright infringement?</p><p>If so, can I claim fair use by, idk, dressing up in a funny outfit or something and turning the reading into a performance art piece, which I then record and share?</p><p>Is it copyright infringement to extract the audio from said recording of such a performance art piece and share that? There must be a legal way to do this...</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FairUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairUse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyright</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HiveMind</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/audiobook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audiobook</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FileSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FileSharing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a></p>
