The average consumer can easily create and edit videos, and post them online. Inevitably many of these posted videos incorporate existing copyrighted content, raising questions of infringement, derivative versus transformative use, fair use, and parody. This article looks at several such works, with its main focus on one category of examples: the Downfall Hitler meme.

    THAT STATEMENT CONNECTS the modern Steam Punk Movement, The Jetsons, Metropolis, Disney's Tomorrowland, and the other items that we are celebrating this weekend. Some of those past futures were unpleasant: the Days of Future Past of the X-Men are a shadow of a future that the adult Kate Pryde wanted to avoid when she went back to the present day of the early 1980s. Others set goals and dreams; the original Star Trek gave us the dreams and goals of a bright and shiny future t h a t h a v e i n s p i r e d generations of scientists and engineers. Robert Heinlein took us to the Past through Tomorrow in his Future History series, and Asimov's Foundation built planet-wide cities and we collect these elements of the past for the future. We love the fashion of the Steampunk movement; and every year someone is still asking for their long-promised jet pack. We take the ancient myths of the past and reinterpret them for the present and the future, both proving and making them still relevant today. Science Fiction and Fantasy fandom is both nostalgic and forward-looking, and the whole contradictory nature is in this year's theme. Many of the years that previous generations of writers looked forward to happened years ago; 1984, 1999, 2001, even 2010. The assumptions of those time periods are perhaps out-of-date; technology and society have passed those stories by, but there are elements that still speak to us today. It is said that the Golden Age of Science Fiction is when you are 13.

  • Year in Film 2009 by Jim Mcmanus
    The Year in Film 2009 By Jim McManus It Wasn't Me. It was, uh, Aliens... Transformers... Terminators... Society... Capitalism... Guinea Pigs... The Pacific Ocean... A Preachy Cross-dresser. I was just waking up as The Fourth Kind concluded. Yeah, yeah, aliens messed with Milla Jovovich, we swear! OK. I started contemplating my review, perhaps comparing alien encounters to pans: The first kind is sensory, perhaps a man shouting “that sucked!” at the end of Bright Star. The second kind is tangible proof, like a newspaper reading “Year One is the kind of comedy you might find funny if you were lacking the part of your brain that thinks.” The third kind is contact, a critic walking directly up to Nicolas Cage and giving him the finger for Knowing. But The Fourth Kind – abduction. Kidnapping director Olatunde Osunsanmi and kicking him in the balls repeatedly for this effort. And a funny thing happened; the movie stopped being a movie and started being a treatise. The main character admitted she couldn't deal with her husband's suicide, so her mind morphed it into murder... but that in no way detracts from her believable, honest, forthright, and upstanding claim that her daughter was abducted by aliens. And this is a true story. Wow. I hate to be Joe Republican here. Scratch that; I hate to be Quincy Wadsworth Republican III posing as “Joe” Republican here, but where the Hell is the sense of personal responsibility? And looking around, there's a lot of personal responsibility missing from 2009 movies. Aliens did this, Romulans did that.
