What happened to the copyright litigation of Youtube vs Viacom?
Leon Asked:
…and what does it mean for youtube and their users? Will we eventually have to pay to use their site for copyright purposes?
Reply:
Youtube agreed to self-police. If youtube becomes aware of copyrighted material, or if someone reports to youtube that copyrighted material is on its site, the material is pulled by youtube. The results are: 1) youtube will remain a free site, 2) you can’t find as much copyrighted stuff on youtube that you used to be able to find, and 3) you find a lot more dead embedded links on other websites now, because the video was at one time on youtube, then the website embedded it, then youtube pulled the video.

Dude. You don't expect people to read all of that copy and pasting do you?
Edit it down and try again, in plain English.
Good luck.
meatheadmike writes to tell us that a recent Canadian court case brought against the Canadian Recording Industry Association by isoHunt Web Technologies, Inc, could drastically change the web landscape in Canada. “The question before the British Columbia Supreme Court is if a site such as isoHunt allows people to find a pirated copy of movies such as Watchmen or The Dark Knight, is it breaching Canadian copyright law? ‘It’s a huge can of worms,” said David Fewer, acting director of the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic at the University of Ottawa. ‘I am surprised that this litigation has gone under the radar as much as it has. I do think this is the most important copyright litigation going on right now.’”

Did you work for her or with her? That makes a big difference.
If you are employed by her, you probably have no rights to the copyright. But, you might want to contact an attorney.
Also, did you provide actual content in the book?
get statements from the witnesses.
In most cases no documentation = no case.

Much as I appreciate the frustration of accepting a low fee for doing music (or anything else) due to the project being likely to be low grossing, it seems strange that the legal agreement doesn't cover for this.
It would be very simple to have provision for a fee to be x + (y% of gross) up to a maximum or something similar.
If you don't make this provision then tuff … you had your eyes open when you contracted – get over it.
Peace out

the copyright rules in effect 70 years ago were quite different than current. Hopefully you can find a copy of the complete paper. The copyright notice would have to appear on the first or second page, usually where the editor and publisher info is printed. Publication without notice places the entire work in public domain (except for credited sources). Placement of copyright notice without actual registration was illegal. Anything first published before about 1963 would have required at the least one periodic renewal of copyright, failure to timely renew put work in public domain. It is unlikely that any small town paper could afford the cost to register every edition at the copyright office, or pay the newal fees every 28 years for every edition.
even if the copyrights were payed and renewed, the use of short extracts from an article would certainly fall under fair use guidelines.
yeah, RIAA has nothing on the IOC when it comes to copyright litigation.

isoHunt is GONE…They are now just a search engine. They caved to copyright litigation apparently. I hope other torrent sites stay strong.
