Time for my periodic public callout of @UMG, who claimed this video, specifically the song starting at 13:43, an extremely clear-cut example of fair use, as the discussion is the lyrics of the claimed song. There's subtitles and everything.https://youtu.be/xU1ffHa47YY?t=823 …

And as we've talked about in
#VirtualLegality (including just two days ago, below), "Fair Use" is a defense, so its use presupposes a legal action. It's one of the reasons the discussion of abuse is a hot topic in the world of copyright reform.https://youtu.be/j-WgBJwZm1k -
If this is found to be fair use, can UMG be held liable for all court costs and lost revenue/damages? And if so, could this lead to a class action suit if it systematic bad claims? Or does UMG basically not have to consider fair use when making claims?
