EFF drops suit against Viacom over YouTube parody removal
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is dropping its lawsuit against Viacom. The EFF had sued Viacom over a takedown notice the media company sent regarding a Stephen Colbert parody clip posted to YouTube.The EFF had filed its lawsuit on behalf of MoveOn.org, Civic Action, and Brave New Films. The video, called "Stop the Falsiness," was created using clips from The Colbert Report, but it was a parody of both Colbert's right-wing schtick and MoveOn.org.

Viacom has agreed to set up a website and email address for users to contact the company to complain about improper takedown notices. Viacom also promises to respond to those complaints within one day.
