Ninth Circuit Rules That Copyright Holders Must Consider Fair Use Before Issuing DMCA Takedown Notice
Media
companies and other copyright holders may need to change the way they
deal with infringing content on the Internet. In a closely watched
copyright case,
Lenz v. Universal Music Corp. (also known as the "Dancing Baby" case), the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
ruled yesterday
that copyright holders must consider fair use before issuing takedown
notices to remove allegedly infringing content from websites such as
YouTube and Facebook. This decision has significant
implications for owners of copyright-protected content, especially
studios, record labels, publishers and other entities with large content
catalogs, as well as individuals and businesses that rely on fair use
to exploit copyrighted material owned by others.
