: Recording Industry vs The PeopleMotion to dismiss complaint denied in case against Universal Music over misrepresentation in DMCA notice
By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman
David Kravets of Wired.com reports that, in Lenz v. Universal, the case against Universal Music based upon its issuance of a false DMCA notice, the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint has been denied.
The court held that in issuing a DMCA notice, one must take into account whether the use is a "fair use" under the Copyright Act.
We first learned of the Wired.com report through Slashdot.
