Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 183

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

It was an exciting week for copyright news as we have a new, controversial nominee for Solicitor General in the U.S., the End of the ACS:Law litigation campaign, a massive lawsuit that could impact streaming video sites and a novel new approach to handling pirates (that isn’t very likely to work).

This week’s stories include:

  • Obama Administration Nominates Former RIAA Attorney for Solicitor General
  • ACS:Law Calls it Quits
  • UFC Sues Justin.TV
  • Movie Studio Asks File Sharers to Turn Themselves In
  • A New Global Licensing Database for Music in the Works
  • Record Industry Reports Another Bad Year, Blames Piracy
  • Communist Revolutionary the Center of a Copyright Spat
