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

It was a crazy week for copyright news with lots of litigation being thrown about including at least two new lawsuits, one already the most controversial suit of the year. To make things even more “interesting” we have the EFF preparing to go to war over YouTube takedowns, labels at war with start ups and one label that seems to be at war with itself.

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

This week’s stories include:

  • AP Sues Over “Hope”
  • Warner Smacks Songbeat with a Suit
  • 3 Strikes Gets Codified in New Zealand
  • The Pirate Bay May Sue the IFPI
  • Universal DMCA’s Themselves?
  • And Many more…

  • The EFF should understand the fact that FAIR USE has been abused way beyond belief.
    Just because a teenager (or any age) sings over whatever so, it doesn't make it fair use.........if the actual song is played then you are using their copyrighted material. If you sing it by yourself then that's a different thing. Don't have have the cd/mp3 playing in the background when you sing and you should be ok with your videos.
  • I'm the first to agree that the EFF is attempting to push fair use beyond its intended boundaries, but it doesn't mean that there aren't some clips being pulled that do qualify for the exemption. Rightly or wrongly, we need people on both extremes if we are to ever find a balance...
