"Lawrence Lessig is Professor of Law at Harvard Law School but is probably best known to readers for his work with Creative Commons, the Free Software Foundation, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Without considering fair use, Liberation Music wrongly had some of Lessig's work removed from YouTube and threatened to sue. It didn't go well. Liberation will pay Lessig an undisclosed sum for the damages it caused with the wrongful takedown. The money will go towards supporting the EFF's work on open access and the label will also 'adopt new policies' that respect fair use."
