Tiny Prince Fan’s Dancing Now Online!

DMCA takedown notices, be gone! The Internet’s favourite young Prince fan can now be seen dancing his little heart out thanks to the EFF (who, having sued Universal over the takedown request, are currently pursuing the argument in court that the video constitutes fair use of the Prince song).

It still amazes me that Universal even bothered to file a takedown request for this in the first instance. Then again, the DMCA makes it so easy for them to do so that they’d be foolish not to file.

Anyway, here he is (along with his very busy sister):

Where the Hell is Matt (dancing)?

Gotta love Matt.

Where the Hell is Matt?: “Man dances his way around the world [wmv - 36MB] getting jiggy on a mountaintop, busting moves in an impenetrable forest, dodging Hanoi motorcyclists with his finely tuned moves, and, well, I wouldn’t want to give anymore away. It’s the feel good movie of the season.”
