Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 243 – Absolute Zero
It is Friday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.
It was a particularly busy week for Patrick with the announcement of his upcoming ebook and the impending arrival of his new computer (which will NOT be coming in six crates transported by helicopter) but he still found time to sit down and help us get caught up on copyright news.
And it’s a good thing too as there was a lot of news to get through including an update on the Google/Oracle case, a new law in Japan that makes downloading a criminal offense and India removing its embargo against The Pirate Bay. All of that plus other stories and some discussion on the Jonah Lehrer self-plagiarism controversy makes this one jam-packed episode of copyright and plagiarism news.
This week’s stories include:
- Oracle Accepts Zero Damages in Case vs. Google, Eyes Appeal
- Japan Adds Criminal Penalties to File Sharing
- India Unblocks The Pirate Bay, Mostly
- Ofcom Releases “Three Strikes” Rules for the UK
- Expendables Lawsuit is Dismissed
- The Black Keys Sue Pizza Hut and Home Depot
- YouTube Drops MP3 Conversions, RIAA Asks Cnet to Follow
- Science Reporter Jonah Lehrer Accused of Self-Plagiarism
