The moral of the story is: if you're running into (truly) BS legal ramifications for your project, fight it.

Not what I’d consider the moral of the story at all. I’d say the moral was: just because you can win, doesn’t mean you should.

Some movie gets to use a clip, a whole bunch of project for disadvantaged people don’t get funded. Hard to cheer a victory against BS copyright this time.
