Enric sent me this great link: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/fair-use-principles-ugc
"Here's hoping that these proposals lead to real progress in striking a balance between the interests of UGC creators, media companies, and video hosting services." Its a document that the EFF has prepared to explain how Fair Use should be dealt with in online video. "The "Fair Use Principles" document describes a set of concrete steps that service providers and content owners can and should take to protect the "remix culture" that has been a foundation for sites like YouTube. A critical component of the Principles is a detailed description of a "three strikes" threshold before materials are automatically blocked. In addition, the document includes a "humans trump machines" rule, which is to say that users must be afforded the opportunity to dispute and override the conclusions of automated identification or filtering mechanisms."
