Just proves the old adage. It’s an ill wind that blows no good.

my suspicion is that the volume of claims was so high as to be unmanageable by YouTube. unfortunately, as the Lenz v. Universal indicates, the claimant is responsible for determining fair use BEFORE filing. if it turns out that they are submitting claims willy-nilly (as is certainly true), they may be liable for not meeting the “good faith” requirement written into the DMCA.

when i am denied the opportunity to file a counter-claim, the balance between monopoly and fair use in copyright is destroyed and First Amendment rights are in jeopardy.

i wonder if the train of thought is that “because it’s automated, it’s error-proof”? If that’s the case, it’s pretty clear-cut and remarkable example of how code can embody an interpretation of a law (in this case, copyright without fair use) and thus ideology.

boo-urns.

E-mail Soulja Boy and CC to his producers directly. Don’t just make a video reply that he wouldn’t see unless he happened to stumble across it.

Wow. Your web page’s tab caught my eye because the favicon is animated! Way to encourage me to leave a snide comment and then close the tab without bothering with the content. :/

Sincerely,
