Shepard Fairey Challenges AP Copyright by Jonathan Hunter
,----[ Quote ]
| By all accounts, President Barack Obama’s road to the Oval Office was one
| replete with firsts. For example, the 2008 presidential campaign marked the
| first time many had heard of Los Angeles street artist Shepard Fairey.
| Fairey’s stylized poster of Obama—which bears the Obama campaign
| watchword, "hope"— became a symbol of Obama’s candidacy among many
| supporters. Now that image has landed Fairey in a legal battle with the
| Associated Press, which claims that Fairey’s poster infringes on its
| copyright to a 2006 photograph. On Feb. 9th of this year, Fairey fired back,
| seeking a declaratory judgment that his poster of Obama does not infringe on
| any AP copyrights.

Using The DMCA To Stop Patients From Rating Their Doctors
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, it does bring up a few interesting points of discussion. First, is
| that the main purpose of using copyright here is so that the doctors can make
| use of the DMCA's notice-and-takedown safe harbor provisions, rather than be
| stymied by the similar (but not quite the same) CDA section 230 safe harbors
| for things like defamation.

Is Yelp Manipulating User Reviews?
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Yelp.com manipulating user reviews to coerce small businesses to advertise
| with the site? That's what some business owners in the San Francisco area are
| claiming, and they've taken those complaints to both the East Bay Express
| and the student-run newspaper the Daily Californian. Yelp denies these
| allegations and says its sales staff does not have the power to either move
| or delete reviews.
