Copyfraud
,----[ Quote ]
| Copyfraud is everywhere. False copyright notices appear on modern reprints of
| Shakespeare's plays, Beethoven's piano scores, greeting card versions of
| Monet's Water Lilies, and even the U.S. Constitution. Archives claim blanket
| copyright in everything in their collections. Vendors of microfilmed versions
| of historical newspapers assert copyright ownership. These false copyright
| claims, which are often accompanied by threatened litigation for reproducing
| a work without the owner's permission, result in users seeking licenses and
| paying fees to reproduce works that are free for everyone to use.

Swedish Appeals Court Denies Pirate Bay Retrial -- Says No Bias By Judge
,----[ Quote ]
| The Swedish appeals court charged with looking into whether or not the judge
| in the original trial against The Pirate Bay was biased, has said they found
| no bias (for real, this time) with the judge, despite his belonging to two
| groups that have pushed for stronger copyright laws -- and the fact that the
| prosecutors' lawyers were involved in that organization as well. Apparently,
| the court says the judge should have brought this information to light
| sooner, but otherwise said it was no big deal.
