Setlist: Top ten legal battles - Prince and the dancing baby

CMU's Setlist special edition discusses Lenz v Universal Music Corp, the dancing baby case, and its impact on takedown obligations and fair use.

It's the second in a series of special editions of Setlist looking at the top ten music industry legal battles of all time. CMU's Andy Malt and Chris Cooke discuss Prince v The Dancing Baby – or Lenz v Universal Music Corp, to give it it’s official if less fun sounding name. This long running case tested the obligations of takedown issuers to consider whether unlicensed use of their copyright material is in fact ‘fair use’. Setlist is sponsored by 7digital.
