WOMAN FIGHTS PRINCE'S 'CRAZY' YOUTUBE CRACKDOWN
A woman whose 29-second video clip of her baby dancing to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" was removed from YouTube for copyright infringement filed a counter notice and was allowed to re-post the footage, reports ABC News.
As previously reported, Prince hired legal muscle Web Sherriff in September to go after YouTube, Ebay and other Web sites to scrub them clean of his music and video footage. Three months earlier, Stephanie Lenz received an email from YouTube saying that her footage was removed at the request of Universal Music Publishing Group, and that she could have her YouTube account canceled in the event of any future copyright infringements.
In response to Universal's move, Lenz filed a "counter-notice" and her video was restored six weeks later, TMZ reports. YouTube explained to ABC that they are bound by provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to honor all takedown and counter-notices.
In a statement released to ABC, Universal said, "Prince believes it is wrong for YouTube, or any user-generated site, to appropriate his music without his consent ... It's simply a matter of principle."
