More on Fair Use
This post the other day talked about NESN's ban on using video on-line. It now seems the NFL is in trouble over this very issue. It's an important post, as it tells you how to fight DMCA requests to remove video.
Correction: Fixed first link.

Is this post supposed to have 2 different URLs? They both seem to go to the NFL article.
The "trouble" the NFL is in is due to sending a second take-down notice to the internet host, after having received a reply from the poster to the first, asserting a good faith belief in the right to post the material. (I put "trouble " in quotes because it isn't trouble for the NFL until it is sued and loses.) It is a procedural matter rather than an issue as to whether the clip in question actually was fair use.
Though no doubt it was fair use.
