An Israeli artist has taken a pile of YouTube videos, mashed them together, and produced a bloody masterpiece:



I wonder what the Copyright experts are going to say about this one. Obviously, if Kutiman has gotten permission from all of the various owners of these YouTube videos, there's no problem. Based on the description quoted by the JPost, I'm betting that's not the case—Which could open up some really interesting new questions headaches for fair use mavens everywhere.

For more excellence: Please visit Kutiman's official website.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
