I Have the Coolest Friends

Did you see my friend Eden on Good Morning America this morning? She's the blogger who is suing Universal over misuse of copyright law after they had a video of her toddler dancing around the kitchen pulled earlier this year.

I love this story because it focuses on the way the new media explosion of the last decade has impacted our lives, and it puts a focus on artist vs consumer rights. Eden has never maintained that people should be allowed t steal the hard work of artists for their own profit; she just thinks the music industry needs to step back and allow people to actually enjoy their product. A lot of people would have just bitched about YouTube taking down the video--heck, I bet this has happed to a lot of people and that's exactly what's happened. Eden, however, is the bully's worth nightmare: the person willing to stand up and say, "I'm not afraid of you." And people--like Bill O'Reilly, The Washington Post, GMA, and now apparently Inside Edition are listening.

Go Eden! You rock!
