Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 185
It is Friday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.
It was a busy week for copyright news with a potentially major lawsuit being filed against the cyberlocker site Hotfile, impending new copyright legislation in the U.S. and a conclusion to one of the more controversial cases in recent memory. However, it’s not all business this episode as Patrick and I make time to talk about advertising, in particular Super Bowl ads, and a bit about Mardi Gras costumes as well (though that was actually copyright-related).
This week’s stories include:
- MPAA Sues Hotfile for Copyright Infringement
- White House Promises New Copyright Legislation
- Ofcom Sets Deadline for New 3 Strikes Rules in the UK
- ACS:Law Forced to Fight On
- Balloon Dog Case is Settled
- And Much More!
