This is a major win for those of us who feel that sometimes organizations such as the MPAA, RIAA or others go overboard in their use of takedown notices. You may remember the so-called "dancing baby" issue, in which a 29-second clip of a baby dancing was ordered taken down by Universal Music Corporation. Why? Because of music in the background: Prince's "Let's Go Crazy."
