Not That It Matters... But Appeals Court Rejects Webcasters' Challenge Over
Copyright Royalties
,----[ Quote ]
| If the current negotiated rates threaten to put a lot of webcasters out of
| business, and the CRB's original rates were even higher, doesn't that suggest
| a pretty serious problem both with the CRB and with the appeals process?
| Separately, it looks like the court had no problem at all ignoring the
| constitutional questions about the Copyright Royalty Board for a second time.
| It's as if no one wants to actually follow what the Constitution says...

ASCAP's Latest Claim: Embedding YouTube Videos Requires Public Performance
License
,----[ Quote ]
| A few years back, we idly wondered if it could possibly be copyright
| infringement to embed a YouTube video on your own site. It would be a very
| difficult argument, since an embed code is really no different than a link.
| The content itself is hosted by YouTube and was uploaded by some other party.
| Yet, we figured eventually someone would make a claim along those lines...
| and wouldn't you know it would be ASCAP?

LGJ: If 24 songs = $1.9 million, then 1 game = ?
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, a leak of a game that proves to be lower quality than
| anticipated may cause losses of an untold number of sales. A fan sequel
| that's of poor quality may drive people away from the original work, or a
| machinima that is highly offensive may cause the offended parties to not buy
| the game the machinima is based on. As you might imagine though, these
| numbers are nearly impossible to figure out.
