Lawrence Lessig, legal scholar and Creative Commons founder was hit with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) take down notice on a recent presentation on copyright law in the digital age. Lessig writes on his blog:
Received a notice that Warner Music had objected to its being posted on copyright grounds. Apparently, YouTube’s content-ID algorithm had found music in the video that they claimed ownership to. The organization is apparently responding by disputing the claim. I’ll report back when I hear more.
Lessig, a Stanford law professor, indicated in a Tweet that he fully intends to take on Warner. It appears that YouTube is taking Lessig’s side on the issue as the disputed portion of the video (Part 2) has been restored to the site.
The video presentation, Getting a Network the World Needs, discussion culter’s shift back to a read/write culture lost in the twentieth century through technology and remix. He worries about the criminalization of our youth by major media companies and offers compromise solutions. His brilliantly crafted presentation appears below.
