Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 249 – Pirate Showdown
It is Friday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.
It’s been a busy week for copyright news and that is doubly true if you happen to be Google or a large copyright holder filing mass P2P lawsuits.
But no matter what side you’re on, the news has been decidedly mixed. Whether you are desperately suing ISPs in a longshot to get your subpoenas heard or winning big in a similar case in Washington DC, it’s a whiplash-inducing week of copyright news and, for once, not because it’s about heavy metal.
So strap yourself in, grab your neck brace and prepare to be pulled in every conceivable direction. We’re just going to try and keep our wits about us and not need a chiropractor when it’s over.
This week’s stories include:
- Google to Take Stand Against Piracy, Penalize Infringing Sites
- Google Can Appeal Book Search Case Class Action Status
- DC Judge Sides with P2P Plaintiffs, Set Stage for Big Appeal
- Porn Studio Sues Comcast and AT&T, Claiming they Protect Pirates
- Germany High Court Orders ISPs to Turn Over Info on All Suspected Pirates
- Judge Orders Oron to Settle It’s Lawsuit
- Kim Dotcom Plans to Launch New “Mega” Service This Year
