Techie Mom: 1. Universal: 0.

Last summer, Universal found itself hauled into court by the EFF after the music company filed a DMCA takedown notice with YouTube over a 29-second video clip of a toddler dancing in his parents’ kitchen. The clip was targeted because, as the toddler shakes his groove thang, Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” plays on a boombox in the background. Stephanie Lenz, the baby’s mother, sued Universal with the help of the EFF on the grounds that the company was filing false DMCA takedown notices and that her video was a “self-evident” fair use of the song. – ars
