Hitler finds out how to challenge a wrongful YouTube DMCA takedown with Fair Use

 

hdm.jpg The folks at Rocketboom and Know Your Meme have put together a handy PSA video to teach YouTube the basics of challenging a wrongful DMCA takedown claim with a "fair use" defense.

The subject gained much interest recently after the film company behind the movie Downfall / Der Untergang DMCA'd a bunch of those "Hitler Finds Out..." funnyvideos.
