Greg Jarboe – IP Extremism vs Fair Use with Online Video

At SES San Jose 2009, I spoke with Greg Jarboe, President and Co-Founder of SEO-PR, about some common legal questions and issues with regard to online video.  Greg talks about “IP extremism” – the increase of attorneys’ knee-jerk legal reactions – including cease-and-desist orders and sometimes lawsuits –to seeing any instance of their client’s owned video content being up on YouTube and everywhere on the web by others even if those uses clearly fall under legally protected fair use guidelines.
