A Pennsylvania woman can go ahead and sue Universal Music Corp. for making YouTube take down a 29-second clip of her baby dancing to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," according to a judge in San Jose, Calif. The judge said that Universal, which controls the publishing rights to the Purple One's catalog, needs to decide whether or not the snippet fell under the "fair use" guidelines, although given the company's past history of negotiating with the Internet I'm going to guess their stance is "the only fair use is use that involves paying us."
