Title: NFL violates DMCA with takedown notice

The National Football League (NFL) has gotten itself caught up in an online battle over a YouTube clip with Brooklyn Law School professor Wendy Seltzer, and has managed to violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) through its actions. As a lesson to students about how content owners are beginning to exaggerate their rights, Seltzer posted a clip of the NFL's copyright message that aired during the Super Bowl.

"This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience, and any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited," the notice read. Just five days after posting the clip on her blog, she received a takedown notice through YouTube, and the clip was removed.

However, Seltzer is also staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the founder of Chilling Effects, a website that educates the public about their rights online. She sent a counter-notification to YouTube which cited Section 512 of the DMCA. It meant that YouTube was compelled to replace the material on receiving a counter notification asserting "good faith belief" that the material removal was a mistake.

After several weeks, the video appeared again on YouTube as a result. However, the NFL then made the mistake of sending another takedown notice and getting it removed from YouTube once again. Since Seltzer's counter-notification described her use of the clip as fair use, being an "an educational excerpt featuring the NFL's overreaching copyright warning aired during the Super Bowl", the NFL's only option to force the removal of the video would be through court proceedings.

After receiving her counter notification that claimed fair use rights, DMCA Section 512 considers sending another takedown notice over the same content as a knowing misrepresentation that the clip is infringing. This would make the NFL liable for all legal fees incurred by the alleged infringer, and also damages. Seltzer seems to determined to keep pushing back on the issue, maybe even until it goes to court, in which case, the court would more than likely agree with Seltzer. That could change the policies of content providers who bombard sites like YouTube with takedown notices.

the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)

I have come to realise, that there should be no copyright laws.

There is no such thing as owning intellectual property.

I don't know what the flap is over the Negro Football League and YouTube, but IMO, people are idiotic to claim ownership to something they happened to say they thought up.

Here's my basis for opposing copyrights:

Source: http://date-dabitur.com/? p=57

Ideas like this from Thomas Jefferson, an old-school agrarian, make some people mad:

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.

The idea of patent rights and intellectual property was discussed among the Federalists. James Madison is the one who argued for a clause in the Constitution to protect these things, but even they made no claims that ideas could be properly considered “property”. Madison and others simply believed that it was in the best interests of the country to give some extra incentive to stimulate progress. [Beware of governments attempting to stimulate progress] Jefferson said that might possibly be true, but he had seen no evidence of it. He said that he would agree to a limited protection of copyrights, but only if for an expressly stated period of time after which the works would enter the public domain. He feared that even this would lead to government controlled monopolies and the restriction of the flow of ideas, and that it would mushroom into protections for other types of ideas. He was right. Nowadays we even have lawsuits filed by dance choreographers alleging that someone “stole” their dance steps.

Here’s another quote that will irritate the defenders of the restriction of liberty through un-Biblical intellectual property laws:

The general rule of law is, that noblest of human productions— knowledge, truths, and ideas—become, after voluntary communication to others, free as the air to common use.” Justice Louis Brandeis, 1918

That is exactly true. I haven't heard a better explanation. What I quoted above and everything that you posted.
