Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 240 – Just the Facts

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

With the holiday weekend in the U.S., it should have been a slow week for copyright news but, in truth, it was nothing of the sort. Not only do we have a lot of great copyright news including updates on the Google/Oracle case and Google pulling the curtains back on its DMCA process, but this is also one of *those* shows where we have an important anchor story that takes up the bulk of our time.

This go around, the story involves a photographer who filed a DMCA notice against a lawyer’s site only to have the situation explode into not just a public battle and degenerate into conspiracy theories and legal threats.

All in all, this is one episode you do not want to miss.

This week’s stories include:

• Google Defeats Oracle on Patent Issues
• Google Publishes Stats on DMCA Notices, their Filers and their Targets
• Dish Network Sued Over Commercial Skipping
• Google Wins YouTube Case in France
• NBC Takes Down Video Used on The Tonight Show
• Photographer Sends DMCA, Gets Threatened
