This week it is a solo affair for me as I take responsibility not just for all of the witty banter but also the editing and other technical voodoo. It was a bad week for Chris to miss as there were major developments in not one but two RIAA cases, news about both Comcast and Cox regarding Bittorrent throttling and much, much more.

We also have news from Denmark and their battle with Internet censorship, updates about software piracy rates and a Vista DRM Debacle that will make TV lovers cringe.

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

This week’s stories include:

• RIAA Suffers Two Setbacks
• Comcast Gets Caught Lying
• Cox Joins Comcast in Throttling
• The Pirate Bay Breaks the Top 100
• IFPI Encourages Students to Use Limewire
• And Many more…

We also have updates on the RIAA campaign against college students, NBC’s DRM debacle and Universal Music’s recent lawsuits

Remember, as usual, this week’s linkroll is a “raw” link list. Some stories are duplicated, some do not point to their original sources and some may not be accurate. A great deal of refining goes into producing the show notes for the Copyright 2.0 Show.

As usual, I sat down with Chris Matthieu from Numly to discuss the past week in copyright news, views and abuse.

All totaled, the show had sixteen stories, including the following:

• Warner Music Kisses the Ring of Apple
• Prince Challenges The Pirate Bay to a Duel
• Canada Not Longer Targets Personal File Sharing
• Cox and Comcast Under Fire For Net Neutrality
• OJ Simpsons Accused of Stealing Something Else
• And Many more…
