Paramount COO Shows FCC How To File Share, Blames Tech Companies, Has FCC Hide Its Presentation
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, the FCC held what was ostensibly a panel
| discussion about the National Broadband Plan, but which
| was actually focused on copyright issues. How, exactly,
| is copyright an issue for broadband? Well, mainly
| because the entertainment industry has been trying for
| years to get ISPs to act as copyright cops... and
| apparently the FCC felt the need to hear them out.

Lawsuit: Copyright Filtering Technology Infringes
,----[ Quote ]
| The suit maintains that the copying and insertion of a
| copyrighted work into a filtering system without
| compensating the copyright holder, or obtaining their
| consent, is a violation of the Copyright Act. The case
| comes as copyright filtering technology is quickly
| becoming a behind-the-scenes feature on university
| sites, user-generated content sites and online social
| networking venues.

UK Anti-Piracy Plans Cost More Than Music Industry âLossesâ
,----[ Quote ]
| As the UK file-sharing debate reaches fever pitch, with
| opinionated artists being shipped in by the bus load to
| condemn it, inevitably attention is turning to the costs
| associated with trying to end it. According to a boss at
| ISP BT, not only are the governmentâs plans doomed to fail,
| but could end up costing ISPs a staggering Â1m a day.
