The artists should know their rights and responsibilities as an artist and as a human. DMCA really have a good job in taking down request for the unauthorized used of CBS clips.

The McCain campaign could turn this PR mess around by cutting out the selfish whining and publicly expressing an opinion on < a href="http://www.publicknowledge.org/node/1800">proposed copyright reform measures.

While I agree that all of the uses mentioned above are illegal and should not pass for "fair use" under any circumstances, the reality is that *anyone* can demand a DMCA takedown and the content in question would be removed without question under YouTube's current terms. We've seen corporations like Viacom unilaterally attempt this and follow up with billion dollar lawsuits. Another rare example of YouTube refusing a DMCA takedown request (thanks to action from EFF and others) involved the International Olympic Committee and a Tibetan protest video of the Beijing Olympics.

You'd think that -- at least behind the scenes -- Google must be lobbying for copyright reform to help clarify such issues.
