Electronic Frontier Foundation

Big Win for Fair Use!

Join the Electronic Frontier Foundation and fight censorship online. In 2007, Stephanie Lenz asked EFF for help responding to a baseless takedown of her video of her dancing toddler sent by Universal Music Corp. Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy" plays on a stereo in the background of the short clip. We filed a lawsuit on her behalf to hold Universal accountable. After many briefs and motions filed, we're proud to announce an important win: the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that copyright holders like Universal must consider fair use before trying to remove content from the Internet. The ruling sends a strong message that copyright law does not authorize censorship of lawful speech.
