EFF sues Barney the humorless, copyright maximalist dinosaur

Derek sez, "Barney the purple dinosaur may teach kids a lot about playing fair, but his lawyers need a lesson in fair use. Yesterday, EFF asked a federal court in New York to uphold a web publisher's online parody of Barney as non-infringing protected speech. Stuart Frankel posted the parody on his website in 1998, and Barney's lawyers have repeatedly sent him baseless cease-and-desist letters over the last four years. Read the press release and complaint [PDF]."
