"Michael Crook, a controversial public speaker, was at the center of a DMCA takedown lawsuit. Apparently, after a TV appearance on Fox, 10 Zen Monkeys posted a criticism of him online, which included a thumbnail picture. So, Crook sued for copyright infringement.

The judge put an end to the legal action, explaining that not only was a thumbnail image fair use, but since Fox made the show, Crook could not even claim ownership of intellectual property associated with the segment. The parties quickly settled and Crook agreed to a pair of unique conditions:

1. Take courses on copyright law, so as to never again file a false DMCA takedown request; and
2. Publish a public apology;

   All the internet lawyers are in agreement. I advise you to cease in violating the first amendment rights of this sub and other great original content providers.
   

u/doxxer100 I look forward to your public apology.
