USA September 3 2008

In Lenz v.Universal Music Corp et al. (Case 5.07-cv-03783 JF) a California District Court held that in order to issue a Digital Millenium Copyright Act ("DMCA") takedown notice in good faith, a copyright holder must evaluate whether the use at issue qualifies as "fair use" under copyright law.
