What? What?...Fair Use That's What!

A federal district court judge in Wisconsin has ordered Brownmark Films to pay Viacom and Comedy Central more than $30,000 in attorney's fees after finding that their case alleging copyright infringement was as worthwhile as their "hit" YouTube video, "What What (In the Butt)." If you haven't seen the video and need a good "what the hell is this crap?!" give it a watch here: But (not butt), the more interesting thing to my musical ear is the striking similarity to an old Eddie Murphy song called "Boogie in You Butt." If Samwell and Brownmark really believed in their case and it wasn't just your typical Hollywood extortion, maybe they should get ready to defend a copyright infringement suit coming the other direction. Turnabout is fair play when it comes to "in the butt" videos, right? And yes, I seriously posted this.
