Star Mother Goes Against Universal Music
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 27th Oct 2007 22:34 UTC, submitted by Kishe
Law and Order When her 0.29" family video was taken down by YouTube on the request of Universal MPG, the affected mother of two struck back with a lawsuit against Universal with the help of the EFF. While technically her family video might have been a copyright infringement as she had no license to include Prince's song as a background score, it is encouraging to see the public fighting back against restrictive laws that get in the way of their every day lives. My Take: I stated my own opinion on the matter on my personal blog.

Human memory doesn't count as tangible form for the purpose of copyright.

I know it doesn't, and it's just as arbitrary a distinction as everything else in copyright which, I guess, was my point.
