Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 118
By Jonathan Bailey • Jul 6th, 2009 • Category: Podcast
It is Monday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.
Due to the long weekend it was a rather slow week for copyright news but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s going to be a short show. Patrick and I both have a few “rant box” moments as we discuss the week’s news including The Pirate Bay’s sale, Jammie Thomas’ appeal and even an ugly catch-22 in music copyright law.
All in all, there were thirteen stories this week including news from all over the copyright world including our “Weird Story of the Week”.
This week’s stories include:
- Pirate Bay Sells, Users Revolt
- RIAA Wins Big over Usenet.comr
- J.D. Salinger Gets His Injunction
- Bing Accused of Plagiarism
- Music Copyright Education Deals with a Catch-22
- And Many more…

Ido died of a heart attack in 1966. Following his father's death, with his mother being virtually incapacitated by an illness as well, Ungar drifted around the New York gambling scene until age 18, when he was befriended by alleged organized crime figure Victor Romano. Romano, whose memory was so sharp he learned to recite the spelling and definition of any word in the dictionary during his jail time, spoke four languages including Latin, and was an expert at many games, shared the same penchant and interest for calculating odds while gambling that Ungar did. The two became so close that Romano became a father figure to him.
Ungar was infamous for routinely criticizing aloud the play of opponents he felt were beneath him—which included just about anyone. However, his relationship with Romano gave Ungar protection from various gamblers who did not take his crass attitude and assassin-like playing style kindly. One man reportedly tried to hit him in the head with a chair in a bar after Ungar soundly defeated him. Ungar would claim years later that the man was found shot to death a few days after the incident.
