In early 2007 Stephanie Lenz recorded her thirteen month old child Holden, dancing and pushing a walker across her kitchen to the distinctive song played by Prince which was called “Let’s Go Crazy”. Holden heard it a couple weeks prior when he and the family watched the Super Bowl and heard the song and well… went crazy. Stephanie uploaded it to YouTube with the intention that only a few people would see that being her family members and friends she emailed them the link and watched it a continuous amount of times to then share it with other friends and colleagues.
Sometime had past and in that time someone who was not a friend of Stephanie’s and who had worked for Universal Music Group, Universal either owns or administrates some of the copyrights of Prince. The video quality that Lenz had recorded and uploaded was something different, The quality was terrible no one would’ve downloaded it and had intentions to listen to it. Lenz had later found out she was risking $150,000 fine for sharing her home movie.
Do you think Stephanie Lenz was in the right or wrong?
