Copyright ruling that would help us

Post by ShrutiLaya »

It's been a while since I visited this forum, so probably missed many discussions on this topic. However, there is a court ruling that would be helpful to us http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/busin ... d=66765462

"On Monday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, <snip> set a guideline that may change the way media companies police their holdings online. In its decision, the three-judge panel ruled that copyright holders must consider fair use before asking services like YouTube to remove videos that include material they control."
<snip>
"The judges ruled that fair use was “uniquely situated in copyright law so as to be treated differently than traditional affirmative defenses,” and copyright holders like Universal must consider fair use before issuing takedown notices."

Legalese that will surely further the cause of Carnatic music but before that provide gainful employment for lawyers!
And does it apply to Youtube India?
