Last week we reported that Lansdowne Public Library had used Michael’s ‘Beat It’ to encourage children to read, by changing the lyrics to ‘Read It’ but had been warned by Sony to remove their accompanying video from You Tube, because of copyright laws.
In the face of significant criticism Sony have appeared to relent and the Library received an email saying,
“One or more publishing rights collecting societies and Warner Chappell have reviewed your copyright dispute for your video, ‘Read It.’ For more information, please visit your Copyright Notice page.
Sincerely, The YouTube Team.”
