Simpsons Youtube Copyright Infringement

So, today we talked about copyright issues. I ironically found this blog and there was a link to a Youtube video and when I clicked on it it said, ” This Video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.” This video was linked to a blog that was talking about the Simpson’s episode that guest stars real life architect Frank Gehry. I guess Youtube or whoever put that video up didn’t have permission from Fox Films. But what I was going to blog about was the parody of the episode. I thought it was really funny because if anyone has heard of Frank Gehry he tends to do very modern, contemporary works such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Fish in Barcelona and the Experience Music Project in Seattle. I was actually just in Seattle this weekend and went to the Experience Music Project. Gehry is not one of my favorite architects but he does have an adventurous side and a very unique style. My favorite part of the blog was the scene where Gehry crumples up a piece of paper and that ends up being his inspiration for the Walt Disney Concert Hall (It’s probably more funny to architects but hopefully you all will get a kick out of it). I guess that proves inspiration can come from anywhere (and copyright infringements happen everywhere too)!
