Copyrights & Campaigns: CNN makes copyright claim on video critical of reporter's 'Tea Party' interviews; a clear case of fair use?

  • (UPDATE: Founding Bloggers says it's considering doing just that.) Unless CNN sues within 10-14 business days, YouTube will re-post the original video. Will CNN sue? I can't say for sure, and I'm certainly not giving anyone legal advice here, but, given what I know now, I think it would be a terrible idea. First, as noted above, Founding Bloggers would have a very strong fair use defense.
  • UPDATE: Blogger Patterico is on the case. He has uploaded a copy of the video to YouTube himself, is encouraging his readers to do the same, and says he may file a DMCA counternotice if CNN attempts to have his copy removed: "If CNN wants to sue me, we can make this a test case."
