EFF Gears Up To Fight Back Against Bogus YouTube Takedowns
,----[ Quote ]
| The EFF is noticing this as well and is pointing out that it correctly warned
| that various automated filtering technologies wouldn't take fair use into
| account and would cause many more problems. Now, the EFF is clearly looking
| for a test case, asking those whose videos have been taken down, despite
| clear fair use -- such as the teenaged girl who's video of herself
| singing "Winter Wonderland" was removed -- to contact the EFF. I expect we'll
| see lawsuits filed in short order.

ACTA Proposal Would Criminalize Substantial Non-Commercial Infringement
,----[ Quote ]
| With various governments still insisting that ACTA negotiations must be done
| in near total secrecy, various folks are working hard to at least shine some
| sunlight on the details. Michael Geist discusses what he's been able to piece
| through, and it's not pretty. The only good news is that everything is still
| in the early stages, and there's some disagreement among the participating
| trade reps concerning how certain things should work. However, that's about
| the only good news.

| Watch the part about the song that ended up being professionally released. It

| will be furious with you if you don't course-correct and modernize. Yes. They
| will. Eventually, your shareholders will be YouTubers, you know. And you'll
| be what media used to be.
