20th Century Fox Having Bad Reviews Pulled Off YouTube
Friday, November 23rd, 2007The Movie Blog reports that 20th Century Fox has used the takedown notice of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to suppress negative reviews of “Reno 911!: Miami.”
The Electronic Frontier Foundation already fears the chilling effect that YouTube’s new content filtering system would have on the fair use of copyrighted content. However, 20th Century Fox has gone further still in actively attempting to block the fair use of its content. It will be interesting to see whether The Movie Blog sends a counter notification to YouTube, whether YouTube reposts the content, and what 20th Century Fox does next.
