Fair Use

Filed under: digitalvideo, videodigital — Rob @ 7:00 am and tagged

The Globe and Mail has a story today regarding a Pennsylvania woman being allowed to proceed in a lawsuit against Universal Music Corp. Universal had YouTube remove a home video clip the woman posted which showed her baby dancing to music by Prince. Universal had YouTube take the clip down because Universal said it violated its copyright. The judge says maybe not and that Fair Use must be considered–good. I’m all for artists being paid but people should be permitted to fairly use the music they buy.
