Fox News goes liberal (on copyright law)
,----[ Quote ]
| Fox News loves "fair use" ... if it can
| help win a copyright lawsuit.
|
| Rupert Murdoch may be on the record
| attacking the legal doctrine as an excuse
| for online piracy, but attorneys for the
| mogul's top-rated cable news network are
| hanging their hat on fair use in
| responding to a lawsuit brought by a TV
| producer who claims FNC improperly aired
| an interview with Michael Jackson's ex-
| wife during its nonstop coverage of the
| singer's death.

Johnstonâs Local Pay Site Trial Has Been âA Disasterâ
,----[ Quote ]
| We could have told Johnston Press, when it
| announced the plans back in November, that
| people wonât pay to read local newspapers
| online. But you canât begrudge the
| publisher finding out for sure for itselfâ
|
| Its three-month pay trial on six local
| papers sites is now ending, with
| apparently dismal results. One paper
| staffer tells HTFP the trial was a
| âdisasterâ with subscribers âin single
| figuresâ, while another title got
| subscribers only âin the low double
| figuresâ, Press Gazette says.

| operations, was joined in calling for
| tougher piracy measures at the Abu Dhabi
| Media Summit today by other media executives

| Hollywood talent agency.
