Tech Group: Copyright Warnings Scare Consumers
WASHINGTON — A trade group that includes Google Inc. (GOOG), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and other high-tech companies has asked federal regulators to order changes in copyright warnings.
Copyright statements that appear at the start of most DVDs and pro sports broadcasts and movies go too far and discourage legal use of the content, the Computer and Communications Industry Association said in a statement Wednesday.
The complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission protests statements used by Major League Baseball, the National Football League and NBC Universal and Dreamworks Animation Inc., among others.

"We're getting into these fights because the law is lagging behind technology," said Schechter, a professor at the George Washington University Law School. "At the end of the day, people are going to use the Internet to clip and quote copyrighted material. And it may be that we need to start looking at very different legal solutions to the ones that are currently in use." -
Fair use should extend to clips posted on Youtube and other locations, as far as I'm concerned, especially given how many times it is a commentary/opinion situation. Full movies and episodes? Of course not. Clips of a few seconds or minutes? Absolutely a fair use, without a doubt (at least to the majority of normal people). I find it ridiculous how MLB and others are able to make Youtube remove snippets of programs.
