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).

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

The interview also touches on universal broadband and the recent overturning of the broadcast flag.”
