[RT @copyrightgirl: #copyright dispute around EA's video game use of military helicopters, fair use? sgp.cm/719bd5 RT @rachaelvaughn]There are no moral positions in copyright litigation in the United States. Clients who most of the time vigorously oppose fair use of their copyrighted material feel free to scream First Amendment and fair use when the situation ethics require it.
GamePolitcs reports today that Electronic Arts has asserted a vigorous First Amendment/Fair Use defense against claims of copyright infringment made by helicopter manufacturer Bell Helicopter.
One wonders how EA will respond if a competitor is able to lift the EA game code that depicts the helicopters and makes Fair Use of EA’s Fair USE?
