On the Lawrence Lessig blog is posted a letter to YouTube/Google regarding the removal of campaign-related material as a result of DMCA takedown notices (presumably filed by the television networks). This is a well-reasoned letter that points out several things:
1) The DMCA takedown provisions can and are being abused;
2) Technologies such as YouTube are having an effect on democracy, something not likely contemplated by the service's creators; and
3) The fair use argument is cogent and is a good example of what I want to see in an exam bluebook.
