Mom Sues Music Company Over Baby Video Removal
10/27/2007

Penguin_dance writes "A Pennsylvania mom is fighting back, suing Universal Music Publishing Group for having a home movie taken down off of YouTube. The movie, highlighting her 18-month old bouncing to Prince's song, 'Let's Go Crazy,' was cited for removal by the Group for copyright infringement. Mom Stephanie Lenz was first afraid they'd come after her — then she got angry. She got YouTube to put the video back up, she's enlisted the help of the e-banking Frontier Foundation, and she's filed a civil lawsuit (pdf). 'I thought even though I didn't do any one thing wrong that they might want to file some kind of suit against me, take my house, come after me. And I didn't like feeling afraid ... I didn't like feeling that I could get in trouble for existent as simple as posting a home video for my friends and family to see.'"
