Big Content: Using "moral panics" to change copyright law
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the top copyright lawyers in the US
| takes Big Content to the woodshed in his new
| book, saying that "the Copyright Wars are a
| fight against our own children and it is a
| fight that says everything about the adults
| and very little about the children."

Dear Hulu: Stop Treating Me Like A Criminal
,----[ Quote ]
| The problem the industry is facing isn't due
| to some guy in Europe catching The Colbert
| Report from across the sea. It comes from
| turning off legitimate customers and users
| who are sick of being treated like crap.

,----[ Quote ]

Joss Stone Reveals Why Lily Allen Hates Piracy
,----[ Quote ]
| Lily Allen, blah blah, piracy, downloading,
| Itâs Not Alright, etc etc. Cutting through
| all the nonsense, comes a beautiful ray of
| light. Joss Stone says Lily hates piracy
| because she canât sing.
|
| âYeah, I love it. I think itâs brilliant and | Iâll tell you why,â Joss Stone said last
| year, referring to music piracy.
|
| âMusic should be shared. The only part about
| music that I dislike is the business that is
| attached to it. Now, if music is free, then
| there is no business, there is just music.
| So, I like it, I think that we should
| share.â
|
| âI donât care how you hear it as long as you
| hear it,â she added. âAs long as you come to
| my show, and have a great time listening to
| the live show itâs totally cool. I donât
| mind. Iâm happy that they hear it.â

Leslie Stahl Needs To Get a Clue About P2P
,----[ Quote ]
| Leslie Stahl had a piece Sunday night on 60
| minutes on the supposed impact of piracy on
| the movie industry. (You can watch it here.)
| Her piece was so slanted toward the Motion
| Picture Association of America, it was
| almost laughable (if it weren't so
| maddening).

60 Minutes Puts Forth Laughable, Factually Incorrect MPAA Propaganda On Movie Piracy
,----[ Quote ]
| CBS's 60 Minutes has made itself out to be
| more of a laughingstock than usual when it
| comes to "investigative reporting," putting
| on an episode about "video piracy" that is
| basically 100% MPAA propaganda, without any
| fact checking or any attempt to challenge
| the (all MPAA connected) speakers, or to
| include anyone (anyone!) who would present
| a counterpoint. The episode is funny in
| that it contradicts itself at times (with
| no one noticing it) and gets important (and
| easily checked) facts wrong. And, of
| course, it basically mimics that old
| episode that history has shown to have been
| totally (laughably) false.
