As public entities, government agencies can not claim copyright on their works. But don’t tell that to Meredith Pikser, an attorney with international law firm Reed Smith LLP. Last week she filed a DMCA Take Down Notice against YouTube, asserting that she represented the Air Force, which owned copyright on its latest recruiting video.
Turns out this was a really bad idea.
