We have multiple tales from the RIAA and their battle against file sharing, news that P2P is no longer the big bandwidth hog, Microsoft destroying DRM keys and a fashion designer suing a charity operation over a drawing of a handbag.

Finally, in weird copyright news, we have Professor Lessig drawing the ire of Rush Limbaugh over his tastes in mashups and watermarked art making its way to the cover of a brand- new Wii game.

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.

The lecture mostly focused on the past ten years of his career, including his attempt to combat the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, the founding of Creative Commons and the rise of “remix culture”.

The talk also provides a very interesting overview of the history of copyright extensions, particularly in the U.S. and raises questions about the constitutionality of many of the recent copyright law revisions.

The lecture wraps up by presenting Prof. Lessig’s newest project, the Change Congress initiative and his new strategy for fighting corruption and changing the political system.

To anyone interested in copyright law, this lecture is a must-watch and is a fond farewell to one of the founders of the “Free Culture” movement.
