So if some couple makes a crappy video of themselves to show at their wedding and uses U2's "Beautiful Day" in the background, does that mean the record company should start crashing wedding receptions and shutting down videos?

Not that someone would make such a cheesy video for their wedding with that song in it. Well, unless their fiance was nagging them to do it. She can be pretty pushy and withhold things you know.

I suppose this is the end of Rick Rolling?
IIRC, it was the fact that youtube was making money off of traffic advertising... traffic that was generated by the "use" of copyrighted videos and music, that caused the fuss... total bs imho, but w/e
