It is Friday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.
It was an exciting week for copyright news as we have a new, controversial nominee for Solicitor General in the U.S., the End of the ACS:Law litigation campaign, a massive lawsuit that could impact streaming video sites and a novel new approach to handling pirates (that isn’t very likely to work).
This week’s stories include:
- Obama Administration Nominates Former RIAA Attorney for Solicitor General
- ACS:Law Calls it Quits
- UFC Sues Justin.TV
- Movie Studio Asks File Sharers to Turn Themselves In
- A New Global Licensing Database for Music in the Works
- Record Industry Reports Another Bad Year, Blames Piracy
- Communist Revolutionary the Center of a Copyright Spat
