"A federal judge has awarded attorney fees to three major television news networks for having to defend against an "objectively unreasonable" copyright lawsuit that challenged obituaries for movie star Robert Mitchum... " 'The Court is persuaded that fees are appropriate in this case to deter future copyright owners from using the threat of litigation to chill other fair uses," [Southern District of New York Judge Barbara S.] Jones wrote. "To hold otherwise would diminish any incentive for defendants to incur the often hefty costs of litigation to defend the fair use doctrine.' " http://www.nylawyer.com/news/03/04/040303c.html
