Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 21 – Free Music

By Jonathan Bailey • Aug 27th, 2007 • Category: Articles, Podcast

Another weekend has gone the way of the dodo and that means it’s time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show. This week’s show is overflowing with the latest copyright news and views, brought to you by myself and Chris Matthieu, the founder of Numly.

All totaled, the show had sixteen stories, including the following:

  • Coupons Get Man in DMCA Trouble
  • Bioshock Gets More Seats
  • A Law Firm Claims Copyright Over a Horrible Jingle
  • Wal-Mart Gets Something Right
  • PeTA Engages in Copyright Cruelty
  • And Many more…

Also, to clarify a point in the episode’s “hidden track”, Chris is not the worst developer in the world, otherwise he would already have a job at Microsoft.

You can download the MP3 file here. Those interested in subscribing to the show can do so via this feed.

    Mr. J:

    The worry about YouTube is not the embedding, but the rights that YouTube takes for itself from everything submitted, embeddable or not. That's what worries me the most there.

    As far as PeTA goes, I agree, I'd pass around the bucket of KFC but sadly I'm out at the moment.

    Nintendo is definitely not a company to mess around with this kind of thing. They're up there with Disney and Warner Brothers in terms of companies that do not tolerate any kind of trademark/copyright infringement.

    I wouldn't mess with them, that's for certain.
  • I have a few things to mention today.

    First off, if you really want to do video broadcasts on Youtube you can can disable the embedding video feature. Another option is to do video broadcasting on Stickam. Not only can you host videos on stickam, but you can talk to like minded people live via webcam. You can even create your own chatroom and password protect it. The downside to creating chatrooms on Stickam though is that chatrooms are deleted after an hour of inactivity.

    As for PeTA goes, man oh man how pathetic! It's pretty sad actually.

    Finally, your mentioning about Nintendo protecting their trademark reminds me of a short story. For years, the city that I live in has a video store called Nintendo World. That video store went under that name until the Nintendo company finally caught on. Now what was known as Nintendo World is now called Entertainment Center.
