heidi: (legally)
I just posted here on [livejournal.com profile] fandom_lawyers about this case in which the Northern District of California stated that the Fair Use doctrine "permits limited use of copyright materials without the owner's permission."

A very important case for vidders, ficcers, wrockers, fanartists, teachers, librarians, academics, and basically anyone who creates transformative works of any type.

Well, I thought at least one part of the court's ruling was sparkly... )

ETA: Okay, this was really incongruous among all the SGA Is Cancelled and Devon Murray Isn't Coming to Dragon*Con misery on my flist. I don't even have a good LOLcat involving/invoking the court's ruling in the Universal case! But I'd love one!
