Fair Use defense in DMCA take down cases

Copyright Law Basics - The Fair Use Defense

This Vondran Legal Hour podcast discusses things copyright holders must consider before firing off a DMCA take down notice.  The case of Lenz v. Universal Music Corporation has set the standard in the 9th circuit which means that copyright holders (artists, songrwriters, musicans, software and game developers, and others) must consider (and should document their findings as of a particular date) the FOUR FACTOR FAIR USE TEST before getting agressive to enforce their copyrights.
