One Size Fits All
There's a nice piece in the Wired Campus of The Chronicle for Higher Education about Wendy Seltzer's experiences with a YouTube takedown notice, which was issued for showing the NFL copyright statement for educational purposes. (Even my beloved Dodgers have a ridiculous copyright claim to all possible fan-related content.) "Fighting YouTube for 'Fair Use'" has a nice tongue-in-cheek opening about how DMCA takedown notices have become included among the "few seminal moments" in an academic career marked by other rituals around publication. Unfortunately, we can't see the original video any more, but we can still enjoy Seltzer's takedown notice.
