Hey, speaking of kidults, did you hear the one about the mom who is suing YouTube "to protect [her] fair use and free speech rights"?
Stephanie Lenz's video of her infant son dancing to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" was yanked due to copyright violation. Said Lenz, "I was really surprised and angry when I learned my video was
removed... Universal should not be using legal threats to try to prevent
people from sharing home videos of their kids with family and
friends." Her lawyers claim that Universal (who own the rights to the song) is is abusing a Digital Millennium
Copyright Act provision, which calls on websites to remove copyright
material at the behest of owners.
I say let's Get Lawsuit Crazy, shall we? The video's nothing to write home about - just send it to your family and friends, and be done with it, already. Now, if the baby was dancing to "Erotic City," we might have something worth fighting over...
