Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 32 – Ahoy Pirates

It is Monday again and that means, in addition to my usual post at the Blog Herald, it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.

As usual, I sat down with Chris Matthieu from Numly to discuss the past week in copyright news, views and abuse.

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

  • Pirate Bill Enters Congress
  • The Pirate Bay Has Some Drama
  • Demonoid Goes Black Everywhere
  • Radiohead Calls Bull on Comscore
  • Baseball DRM Change Throws Fans a Screwball
  • And Many more…

You can download the MP3 file here (direct download). Those interested in subscribing to the show can do so via this feed (back up).

    I read about this really frivolous suit filed against google for infringement of patent:"The patent describes a distributed database system that breaks search queries into fragments and distributes them to multiple computers in a network to get faster results. The patent was assigned to Northeastern University, which licensed it exclusively to Jarg, according to the lawsuit, filed last Tuesday with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas."Sounds like some abulance-chaser lawyer is trying to get some money from Google.

    Recliners: Patent law really isn't my bag. I'd heard about the lawsuit too but questionable patent lawsuits are just par for the course these days, especially against deep pocket defendants.I wish I could say this shocks me, but it doesn't. How sad is that?
