Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 62

Written on: June 9, 2008

U2 LogoIt is Monday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.

Chris makes his return as the two of us go through the week’s worth of copyright news and abuse including, the PRO-IP act making progress, a new tirade from U2′s manager against ISPs, more on Comcast and net neutrality and more Oink admins being arrested.

We also have updates to many ongoing copyright stories including the Google/Viacom lawsuit, the Revision attack, the Yoko Ono/Ben Stein feud and the Pirate Bay criminal case.

All in all, there were sixteen stories this week including news from all over the copyright world including our “Weird Story of the Week”.

This week’s stories include:

  • PRO-IP Passes the House
  • Comcast faces a class action lawsuit
  • Google Sells Adds on Illegally Streamed Video
  • More Copyright Holders Sue YouTube
  • Selling a Shampoo Bottle Allegedly Copyright Infringement
  • 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.

While I can definitely understand being upset that we take a more humorous tone with these topics, it is important to note we did a much more thorough analysis on the new IP Czar position back when the PRO-IP act was introduced, this was more of an update to an ongoing story. I can't recall the episode right now.
Regarding the U2 manager comments, once again, this is not the first time he's spoken out on these issues and we covered it the last time as well. Once again, we looked at least a little bit harder into those comments the first time around.
That being said, we openly admit that the Copyright 2.0 Show is not a source for just hard news. We admit we take a more lighthearted tack with it and that is because the show is weekly and only an hour long, but also because copyright issues tend to be dry and dull. I would rather people enjoy their hour and learn something than fall asleep and learn nothing.
If you want, I can recommend some great "hard" news copyright podcasts that go well with the show. There are several great ones out there.

Some comments on this episode:
I think you guys should look deeper into the role of this so-called IP Czar. It's amazing the amount of rights the people of our country continue to give up to government. Stop laughing it off and start doing some real research on what exactly this role is.
If you dig a little deeper into previous comments from U2's manager you'd understand exactly why he's going after ISP's. He want's them to act as the police over every packet of data transmitted across their networks. His proposals include internet taxes (similar to what radio stations, clubs, etc play to RIAA).
