We also have updates on the Google/Viacom case as well as a new independent group that becomes the fifth largest music rightsholder.

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.
