backDiscrediting the copyright law Do lawyers have either a sense of humor or of proportion? In the latest example
(NY Times link here), two employees did a private performance taking off on a U2 song, “One”, celebrating the merger of two banks. It turned up as a humorous (or awful) video on a website, Stereogum.com. The Universal Music Publishing Group had its lawyer post a cease and desist letter on the site for copyright violation.

[Posted at 11/20/2006 07:52 AM by John Bennett on IP in the News Comments Interesting that the publishers feel the need to do that for a lame cover version when some of the recorded music majors have deliberately not sent notices for lip syncs (to the recorded version).
Should they have not sent a C&D becuase it was awful? [Comment at 11/24/2006 06:48 AM by Paul] Submit Comment |
