I find it amusing that this was in there: "Universal's claim that a victim of takedown abuse cannot vindicate her rights if she cannot show actual monetary loss". Almost assuredly Universal can't show actual monetary loss from the copyright infringement of the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince song, they shouldn't have tried to take it down by their own logic.
- cwp 11y agoYou've got it backwards. It's the author of the dancing baby video that has to show monetary loss. That is, Lenz cannot sue Universal unless she can show that taking down her video caused her monetary loss.
- kej 11y agofryguy knows that, he's saying that it's hypocritical of Universal to argue against Lenz's case since she can't show actual damages while having previously issued a DMCA takedown notice even though they probably couldn't show actual damages.
- aidenn0 11y agoCopyright provides for statutory damages, so it specifically doesn't require showing monetary loss.
