CNN Follows Fox News In Using DMCA To Take Down Fair Use Videos

,----[ Quote ]
| The "liberal" CNN has filed a DMCA notice to have video taken down that was 
| being used by a conservative blog for commentary purposes -- again, almost 
| certainly fair use. Also, it sounds like some of the video footage that CNN 
| demanded be taken down wasn't even filmed by CNN, suggesting they don't hold 
| the copyright on it.

Mr. DeVore Meet the Digital Millennium Copyright Act 

,----[ Quote ]
| A California Senate candidate is using a Don Henley song in a campaign video 
| on YouTube, and when Henley sued for copyright violation, the candidate fired 
| back that it was his first amendment rights to use the song. It seems he 
| failed to understand the nuances of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. 
| Maybe he should be complaining to the RIAA instead.b
