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

With me heading to OpenCamp this weekend we had to make it a slightly truncated version of the Copyright 2.0 Show but we still had a lot of news to cover including the RIAA turning on a law it helped push for, a major development in the Shepard Fairey case and an old friend of the show coming back to give us one more good laugh.

All in all it may be a slightly shorter show, but still one that you don’t want to miss.

This week’s stories include:

• The RIAA Says the DMCA No Longer Works
• Mannie Garcia Drops Out of Fairey Case
• Fashion Industry Seeks Copyright Protection
• Innocent Infringer Questions Appealed to Supreme Court
• Global Gaming Factory Plans, Fails to Buy Demonoid

It was a busy week for copyright news with a lot of great stories, even if some of them were a bit on the predictable side. We start out with the Viacom/YouTube war and its next phase and then step into the World of Warcraft before heading back to more traditional ground and finishing with a lawsuit literally held together by velcro.

It was a strange week to say the least and a show you don’t want to miss!

This week’s stories include:

• Viacom Appeals YouTube Ruling
• Google Leaker Discovered, Actually Not
• Blizzard Wins $88 million judgment in World of Warcraft Case
• Major Lyrics Site to be Shuttered
• In Germany, Anti-Piracy Efforts Go Awry
• “Bruno” Sued Over Velcro, Slips Away

It was a bit of a slow week for copyright news as we enter the final weeks of summer. However, that doesn’t mean there was any shortage of topics to talk about from. Not only do we discuss the latest in copyright news, including the latest on the U.S. Copyright Group, Grooveshark and a major win for the GPL, but also a bit about SXSW, we take a listener’s question on domains and trademark and I talk about the evil present my parents got my for my 30th birthday.

This week’s stories include:

• U.S. Copyright Group Withdraws Suits, Moves to Phase 2
• Grooveshark Secures Another Deal
• GPL Gets Major First U.S. Victory
• Katy Perry/Beach Boys Blow Up Blown Out of Proportion
• Gawker Pays McSteamy
• Photog Sues GoDaddy for $100 Million

Last Friday I was given the wonderful opportunity to appear on This Week in Law with host Denise Howell and fellow panelists attorney and lead counsel for Twitter (formerly at Google) Alex Macgillivray, and attorney Kevin Thompson. A slew of topics were discussed ranging from copyright issues to privacy and, as the title indicates, a lot of talk about porn.

The podcast lasts about an hour and 15 minutes and you can either listen to it on the TWiL website or view it via the embedded video below:

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

It was a bit of a slow week for copyright news as we enter the latter part of summer when the courts are closed and even the lawyers are on vacation but, despite the best attempts to thwart the stream of copyright news, we have found a way. There were several major stories this week including some copyright questions related to alleged Ansel Adams negatives, an update to the LimeWire case and much, much more.

This week’s stories include:

• Copyright Questions Loom Over Alleged Ansel Adams Negatives
• Judge Declines to Freeze LimeWire’s Assets
• Gaiman Beats McFarlane in Ultimate Nerd War
• iiNet Case on Appeal in Australia
• RIAA Says Legal Fees Were Well Spent
• US Copyright Group Accused of Lifting From Competitor’s Site

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

It was an insane week for copyright news with one story dominating the headlines like no other, the new DRM circumvention exemptions. But while everyone was getting excited about jailbreaking their iPhones, other headlines were slipping under the radar including other, likely more important exemptions to the DRM circumvention law as well as several major updates to ongoing cases.

This week’s stories include:

• U.S. Copyright Office Announces DMCA Exemptions
• UFC Hits Back Against Illegal Streams
• Mass Bittorrent Lawsuits Target Private Trackers
• Authors Bypass publishers to Go Digital
• Bratz Dolls Back to Legal Limbo
• WordPress/Thesis Make Up

Sadly, there is no podcast post this week. Patrick and I are taking a week off to catch our breath, enjoy the summer months a bit and generally do other things.

However, there is still something you can listen to if you’re interested. I gave an interview on the Denver radio station KOA on their program “The Ride Home”. At issue, the recent Scott McInnis plagiarism allegations, which you can read more about here.

The basic story is that McInnis has been accused, and admitted to, plagiarizing in a series of essays he wrote on water rights he did for a foundation in the 90s. However, he has blamed the plagiarism on a research assistant who, in turn, has placed the blame on McInnis. However, another allegation has surfaced, claiming that a newspaper column he wrote and speech he gave mirrored an earlier work by Daryl M. Plunk, who has since said he gave McInnis permission to use his words.

You can listen to my interview on the topic by visiting the show’s podcast page. My interview is in the 7-14-10 edition (or you can just search for “Jonathan Bailey”) and it begins at about 18 minutes into the show.

A big thanks to KOA for having me on!

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 was a slow week for copyright news but that doesn’t mean Patrick and I got to rest any. We had several major developments in the U.S. Copyright Group legal battle with Time Warner Cable, the conclusion of the Men at Work case and a politician that doesn’t understand copyright isn’t a magic eraser.

This week’s stories include:

• Time Warner/U.S. Copyright Group Have to Work Together
• U.S. Copyright Group to Only Get 28 IPs Per Month
• Men at Work Get to Keep Most of Their Money
• Politician Complains About Her Old Viewpoints Being Repeated
• Hulu Launches a Plus Program
• Woot and the AP Have a Spat

Show Notes

Also, just a small programming note, we will NOT be having an episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show next week as we will both be taking a week off. You’ll instead get to listen to our failed attempts to get caught back up two week from today!

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

It was a week of controversy in the copyright world with a letter from ASCAP sparking a war of words between the organization and various copyleft groups. Likewise, a debate between a Canadian Minister turned ugly after some choice words and several artists found themselves accused of plagiarism.

Perhaps most controversial of all we end the show on the tale of two naked cowfolk trying to make their name.

This week’s stories include:

• ASCAP Attacks Creative Commons, EFF
• Canadian Copyright Debate Turns Ugly
• Time and Politico Republish a Rolling Stone Article
• Kanye West and Drake Both Sued for Copyright Infringement
• Naked Cowboy Threatens Naked Cowgirl
