That's what came to mind first, but I'm glad it was more serious and that the court did consider the use of the song "fair use" and that copyright holders should consider the fair use of their copyrighted material before sending a takedown notice.

Sometimes I think the EFF overreaches, but here this is 'common sense' stuff that they should (and did) pursue. Kudos.



The "overreaching" part is subjective. I think it is quite balanced considering the actions of the other parties involved.
