Fair Use is A Bitch, Even For A Senator

This week the McCain camp felt the sting of a DMCA smackdown when CBS issued a takedown notice over the campaign's use of a video clip posted on YouTube. While YouTube may be quick to takedown videos when a notice is sent by the copyright holder, asking to fully review the video would bring the a level of burden to Google that is unknown outside of the hallowed grounds of government bureaucracy.

Now that McCain is really feeling the pain of the every man perhaps some real progress can made. Probably not, his answer to get exemptions for those that can lobby for it (because it worked so well for the Tax Code).
