Universal, Pay Those EFFing Lawyers 335

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday January 25, 2010 @12:15PM from the they-can-afford-it dept.

Slashdot frequent contributor Bennett Haselton writes "The EFF is seeking over $400,000 in attorney's fees from Universal Music Group after Universal sent a DMCA takedown notice to YouTube, demanding the removal of a video posted by user Stephanie Lenz. Lenz had posted a video of her toddler dancing to a 30-second clip of the Prince song "Let's Go Crazy"; after Universal sent the takedown notice, the EFF sent YouTube a counter-notice on behalf of Lenz arguing that the video was fair use, and YouTube restored it. Now the EFF is asking the judge to award them attorney's fees for their work." Use your magical clicking device below to read many more words.

I've heard it said that pigs would fly before development stops on DNF. And... swine flu.

It could be a genuine error, without any outside intervention.

It would have to be exceptionaly poor coding and testing of course, but I could imagine someone thinking it's a good idea to filter out "offensive" content by scanning the tags for keywords, and "gay", "lesbian", "adult" and such being in the "sexual content" keyword watchlist.

That's the concept, of course. However, I think the demand for cheaper cards can be higher than there are cards with faulty pipelines, which would result in the manufacturer selling perfectly working high-end chips with disabled pipelines. I don't know the yield rates or the market segmentation, but I believe it's a very likely scenario.
