Take-Down of Home Video From YouTube Site Leads to Damages Suit
,----[ Quote ]
| The Electronic Frontier Foundation is
| trying to make Universal Music pay damages
| for unfairly taking a home video of a
| toddler dancing to a Prince song off
| YouTube.
|
| But before the sides get to the sticky
| question of just how the toddler's mother,
| Stephanie Lenz, suffered by having the
| video pulled and later restored to YouTube,
| the EFF wants a judge to determine if such
| damages are even possible.

Top Ten China Myths of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| The Internet might be censored but it can
| never be rolled back in China. Fact: Over
| the summer, China embarked on an
| unprecedented effort to maintain stability:
| it could be called The Great Internet Shut-
| Down. After scores of people were killed
| and hundreds injured in the worst ethnic
| violence in decades in the Xinjiang region,
| authorities simply turned off large
| portions of the Web in Xinjiang and left it
| off for months. No email, Skype, and IM,
| though local news sites and shopping and
| such were still available, as this good
| description points out. The effect on
| business and education is incalculable,
| but, in a measure of how much China is
| willing to do to protect stability,
| authorities kept the ban in place well into
| the winter. This would probably not work on
| a national basis, but the ban was a
| shocking reminder of what is possible.
