Very funny story of Viacom suing a person over using one of their videos, only to discover that they had in fact violated the very persons’ right that they were suing . The best part?
The guy “doesn’t want any money—just for the clip to be restored and have it established that other independent content creators have rights under Fair Use to “show how their works are being appreciated in the wider world.”
That would be a great first step. We need more (any?) common sense in our intellectual property laws.
