It was a busy week for copyright new with the politicians, not the lawyers, taking the lead. Some rumblings about copyright reform both in the U.S. and the UK have everyone’s attention. However, not to be outdone, YouTube makes a splash this week with a series of silent vids and MGA, Prince and Web Sheriff all make it back in the news.

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

This week’s stories include:

• UK Legislation Raises Privacy Concerns
• Dems Lay Out Copyright Plans in the U.S.
• YouTube Videos Go Silent
• Prince Loses Plagiarism Lawsuit
• Stripper Idol Draws a Lawsuit
• And Many more…

Show Notes

This wasn’t to say that this week was devoid of big developments. RedLasso gets hit with a big cease and desist, Mininova faces a lawsuit, a major new trade agreement on the horizon, Canada’s DMCA may move forward and linking to movies leads to a big fine.

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.
