Hey, Warner, Leave those Kids Alone
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month we reported that Warner Music Group was using YouTube’s Content
| I.D. (aka Video I.D.) tool to effectively censor myriad fair uses. We asked
| people to contact us if they needed legal help and put up a YouTube removal
| primer to give folks information about their options. As a result we’ve seen
| beautiful film montages set to music, videos to assist the hearing impaired,
| and many other examples of amazing artistic talent that have been censored by
| Warner Music.

File Sharing Lawsuits at a Crossroads, After 5 Years of RIAA Litigation
,----[ Quote ]
| It was five years ago Monday the Recording Industry Association of America
| began its massive litigation campaign that now includes more than 30,000
| lawsuits targeting alleged copyright scofflaws on peer-to-peer networks.
|
| [...]
|
| Today, the RIAA -- the lobbying group for the world's big four music
| companies, Sony BMG, Universal Music, EMI and Warner Music -- admits that the
| lawsuits are largely a public relations effort, aimed at striking fear into
| the hearts of would-be downloaders. Spokeswoman Cara Duckworth of the RIAA
| says the lawsuits have spawned a "general sense of awareness" that file
| sharing copyrighted music without authorization is "illegal."

| MP3's can be played on almost all digital devices including the iPod. The
| move makes UK-based music download site 7 Digital the first major European
| download source offering Warner Music and EMI tracks in the MP3 file format.
| They are also rumoured to be in discussions with Sony BMG and Universal.
