## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

Universal, which administers the copyrights to Princes songs, claims that the dancing baby video violated copyright law because of the Prince background music. Lenz, after initially taking down the video, later put it back up on YouTube and called the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, which promptly took her case pro bono and filed a countersuit against Universal in a San Jose federal court. Last week, lawyers from EFF and Universal filed opposing briefs arguing for summary judgment. A decision on those motions could come in a matter of months, and will likely decide the case.
