Music industry can't force Web removal of song excerpts, judge rules

Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

(08-20) 19:58 PDT San Jose -- In a victory for small-time music copiers over the entertainment industry, a federal judge ruled today that copyright-holders can't order one of their songs removed from the Web without first checking to see if the excerpt was so small and innocuous that it was legal.



good.. this shouldn't have gone to court in the 1st place.. the mother wasn't making any money from the video confused

My post had NOTHING to do at all with what your claiming. It is my opinion only and I'm entitled to it just as anyone else here. Your not making any sense with
the "slave mentality" thing. confused

Well when you say "if he doesn't want them using it, so be it" it sounds pretty much like whatever master prince says or wants is law.

The point is that it's not.


LOL no-I'm not saying that at all. What I AM saying though is since it IS his song-it wouldn't have been a there for anyone to enjoy in the first place. I CAN see Prince's point in this only because he created the work (ie:song) BUT I am NOT saying by any means that his word is law. I think that may just be how you interpreted it. It's all good just different opinions here. smile
