The intro, with kittens:

I followed a number of links in a similar vein. Let's just say what has been seen cannot be unseen. Like, the GoT intro as performed by goats.

At least it wasn't the Red Wedding.

What an awful video and I feel awful that such spent time in a court trial. She had nothing better to do?

Then, Stephanie Lenz, poster of the video and mother of the baby, represented by Electronic Frontier Foundation, sued Universal for wrongly targeting lawful fair use.

Does that answer your question?  It was a cause lawsuit taken up by a non-profit.

Ugh, fuck that non-profit then.

Okay, that's just wrong.

Fair use issues are kind of important, g.

I'm not overly concerned with the fair use issue in this particular case. I don't think the world would be poorer if we had less self-obsessed / family-obsessed videos using owned works as a backdrop.

Aha! It's the baby that's causing the distain.

While it might have been cute as a video to share with family, it wasn't really compelling enough that it needed to be shared with the world.

You understand we have a legal system here that operates on precedent?   e.g. Brown v. Bd. of Ed. wasn't just about whether Oliver Brown could send his particular kid to a Topeka public school.

If he does, it would appear that he's one of the few Americans that does.  This Kim Davis nonsense is shockingly ignorant.  I cringed when Mike Huckabee said that Dred Scot was the law of the land.
