This week, Chris and I reverse roles as he takes a well-deserved vacation to the house of mouse and I take over the show for the week.

However, we have many updates to the big copyright stories of the week including the Comcast bittorrent throttling, the Viacom/YouTube Case and, as usual, our “Weird Story of the Week”.

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

This week’s stories include:

• Net Neutrality Scores a Big Win
• Viacom Calms Privacy Fears
• Last.FM Cuts Out Middle Man
• Will Orphan Works Hurt or Help Open Source?
• Devo Whips McDonald’s
• And Many more…

However, holiday aside, it is still Monday and, as usual, that means it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show. Thanks to an extreme sense of dedication, the lack of a social life and the miracle of forward posting in WordPress, we will not miss a beat this holiday season.

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 seventeen stories, including the following:

• TorrentSpy Destroys Evidence and Then Gets Destroyed
• Perez Hilton Gets Banned… Twice.
• Microsoft Gets Sued For Copying Office XP Manuals
• The Simpsons Test Fair Use
• Did McDonald’s Lift Art from Trent Reznor?
• And Many more…
