Copyright 2.0 Show – Episode 280 – International Grandma

It is Friday again and that means that it is time for another episode of the Copyright 2.0 Show.

It was a very busy week for copyright news but you might be forgiven if you mistake parts of this as reruns from a previous show. Not only do we have YouTube prevailing over Viacom, we also have Megaupload claiming that the case against them should be dismissed because they weren’t properly served.

But then there’s the unique stuff including Interpol’s investigation of cyberlocker sites and Universal scoring a win on appeal in New York State Court.

All in all, this is one odd, strange and deja vu-filled episode that you do not want to miss!

This week’s stories include:

• YouTube Gets Viacom Case Tossed Again
• Universal Bests Grooveshark on Appeal
• Will.i.am Admits He Used Song Without Clearance
• Interpol Targets Cyberlocker Sites’ Finances
• Megaupload Against Claims They Weren’t Served Properly
• Prenda Law Loses Case, No One Surprised
• Bad DMCA Takedowns Hit Cory Doctorow’s CC-Licensed Book
