Google has announced that it will cover the legal fees for protecting the Fair use Rights of youTube video Creators. Google started this New Fair Use Protection Program by refusing to remove few youtubes videos that received DMCA take down notices from copyright owners.

Google's this new initiative is part of a growing effort to fight back against DMCA abuse.

It's sad (Score: 1)

It's sad that the little guy needs these protections. If there were built into the law disincentives for the abusers, say, a million dollar fine, paid to the defendant, per faulty claim, then there wouldn't be the need for this.

I'm glad it's there, but I'm also sad that it is.
