The music industry, once again, goes crazy
It's 30-seconds long. It's blurry. It's a toddler having a great time and dancing to music. The music is garbled, distorted and barely recognizable.
It's a YouTube video at the center of a huge fight. The background music is Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" and Universal Music sent out a letter requesting that the toddler's mom Stephanie Lenz remove the video because it violated copyright.
Lenz, with apparently has a ton of free time on her hands, has made this into a crusade with the help of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. She filed suit. Universal Music defended itself. The suit was dismissed. She amended the complaint. Again to the court. A second dismissal motion is currently under consideration.
But for now, the video remains available on YouTube. Take a look - while you can - and see how crazy this fight is.
