"Fair Use" case going to Supreme Court
« on: August 17, 2016, 06:16:48 AM »
This may have an affect on our Christmas Lighting videos.

A 10 year old dancing baby video (to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy") has been accepted by the Supreme Court.

Argued under the "Fair Use" principle for non-commercial YouTube type videos.

Not sure why its even a big deal anymore.  I've never had to claim fair use on YouTube lately they just seem to want to monetize it.
