Hitler tries a DMCA takedown

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

You've all seen the Hitler/Downfall parodies.  Recently Constantin Films, the 
owner, got a number of them removed from YouTube.  Now Brad Templeton, of 
rec.humor.funny (http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/), got into the act with his own, 
pointing out that parody is "fair use."

YouTube is apparently somewhat sympathetic, and has noted, to viewers, that it 
has provisions for challenges to video takedowns over copyright complaints:
