Film Studios Deny Fair Use
Larry Lessig asked me for a pointer to the Hollywood movie studios’ response to my request to use a few seconds of their films for a home movie project I was making with my 5-year-old — not for posting on the Web, just for showing off to family or friends.
Four of the studios refused outright, two refused to respond, and the seventh wobbled.
