Lenz v. Universal
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed suit against Universal Music
Publishing Group (UMPG) asking a federal court to protect the fair use and free

speech rights of a mother who posted a short video of her toddler son dancing
to a Prince song on the Internet.
Stephanie Lenz's 29-second recording shows her son bouncing along to the
Prince song "Let's Go Crazy " which is heard playing in the background. Lenz
uploaded the home video to YouTube in February to share it with her family and
friends.
YouTube then informed Lenz that it had removed the video from its website after
Universal claimed that the recording infringed a copyright controlled by the
music company. Under federal copyright law a mere allegation of copyright
infringement can result in the removal of content from the Internet.
"I was really surprised and angry when I learned my video was removed " said
Lenz. "Universal should not be using legal threats to try to prevent people from
sharing home videos of their kids with family and friends."
"Universal's takedown notice doesn't even pass the laugh test " said EFF Staff
Attorney Corynne McSherry. "Copyright holders should be held accountable
when they undermine non-infringing fair uses like this video."
Last May UMPG's parent company Universal Music Group sent a baseless
copyright takedown demand to YouTube for a video podcast by political blogger
Michelle Malkin. That video was quickly reposted after Malkin fought back.
"Copyright abuse can shut down online artists political analysts or -- as in this
case -- ordinary families who simply want to share snippets of their day-to-day
lives " said EFF Staff Attorney Marcia Hofmann. "Universal must stop making
groundless infringement claims that trample on fair use and free speech."
The lawsuit asks for a declaratory judgment that Lenz's home video does not
infringe any Universal copyright as well as damages and injunctive relief
restraining Universal from bringing further copyright claims in connection with
the video.
This lawsuit is part of EFF's ongoing work to protect online free speech in the
face of bogus copyright claims. EFF is currently working with Stanford's Fair Use
Project to develop a set of "best practices" for proper takedowns under the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
