Veoh Court Victory May Be Bad Sign for Viacom - YouTube infringement case may have gotten weaker

Google is in the midst of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Viacom for YouTube violations of copyright infringement. Google hopes that a recent ruling in the favor of video site Veoh will mean good things for the YouTube case. In both the Veoh case (filed by porn company Io after the company’s adult films were found on the Veoh site) and the YouTube case, the defendants’ believe that they are not responsible for hosting liabilities because of a “safe harbor” clause in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. These sites are simply service providers that have to do minimal things to make sure that copyright isn’t violated. The court has ruled that this is true in the case of Veoh. Google believes this helps its case against Viacom but Viacom says that there are enough differences between YouTube and Veoh that it will contin

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. Announces Court Decision

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: APNT) announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued its opinion in its litigation with Canon, Inc. The appeals court in part affirmed, and in part reversed, the rulings of the district court. While the appeals court accepted, without deciding, the district court's decision that SED, Inc. as originally formed did not qualify as a Canon subsidiary, and that Canon had materially breached the contract, it found that termination of the license agreement was not an appropriate remedy. The appeals court also ruled that the restructured SED, Inc., which is 100% owned by Canon, now qualifies as a Canon subsidiary. The appeals court denied Applied Nanotech's appeal that the district court had improperly excluded certain evidence from the trial.

eBay claims court victory in Belgium over L'Oreal in counterfeit goods case

Online auctioneer eBay claimed yesterday to have won a Belgian court case against L'Oreal after the French cosmetics giant sued it over the sale of counterfeit goods. L'Oreal has brought cases against eBay in five European nations, including Belgium, accusing the company of not doing enough to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods posted on its auction and sale sites. The Belgian commercial court, the first jurisdiction to deliver a ruling, "has ruled in favour of eBay," said Sravanthi Agrawal, eBay spokeswoman in Europe. The court ruled that the world's largest online auctioneer did not have "a general monitoring obligation" of what was on offer on its site. "The judge confirmed that eBay acted diligently when it received letters from L'Oreal," the spokeswoman added.

COPA Suffers Yet Another Court Defeat

A US federal appeals court today struck down COPA, the Child Online Protection Act, a Clinton-era censorship law that the Justice Department has been struggling to get implemented for a decade. (The ACLU filed suit as soon as COPA was signed in 1998 and won an immediate injunction.) The battle has made it to the Supreme Court twice, and the DoJ has essentially never gotten any satisfaction out of the courts. This was the case for which the DoJ famously went trolling for search histories. In the ruling issued today, the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court ruling that COPA violates the First Amendment because it is not the most effective way to keep children from visiting adult Web sites. The law would require sites to check visitors' ages, e.

Griffin Wave for iPhone Case.

Today we are going to look at a very nice case of the iPhone that is also available for the new iPhone 3G. The case is called the Griffin Wave for iPhone. Several colors are available and the case protects the screen and leaves all the controls easily accessible. The edges of the case are beveled so that they are comfortable against your ear and face when the phone is in use. When the Griffin Wave for iPhone is installed, it does add a bit of bulk to the phone, but not much. Obviously, you can no longer place the phone into the docking cradle when the case is on, but the sync/charge cable itself fits with the case installed without any issues.

AOL Launches New Personal Finance Site, Image GalleryBut The Brand Is Absent

imageDespite shifting focus to an ad-supported business and ad network years ago, AOL (NYSE: TWX) can’t seem to shake the image of being known as that dial-up ISP. So rather than continue to fight, AOL is finding that it might just be better to erase it, or at least downplay it somewhat. Case in point: two new channels, a personal finance site called WalletPop and a free professional images site, Pixcetera, debuted this morning—both without the AOL brand prominently featured on its site (scroll way down) or in the URL. That said, the sites do have the same look and feel of others and AOL’s main page features a link that does connect directly to WalletPop—but the link only says “Money� and doesn’t identify the site by name. As AOL continues its site rollout—the company is in the process of creating a new one aimed at younge

Court: 'Violating Copyleft Is Copyright Infringement'

IconA federal appeals court has overruled a lower court ruling that, if sustained, would have severely hampered the enforceability of free software licenses. The lower court had found that redistributing software in violation of the terms of a free software license could constitute a breach of contract, but was not copyright infringement. The difference matters because copyright law affords much stronger remedies against infringement than does contract law. If allowed to stand, the decision could have neutered popular copyleft licenses such as the GPL and Creative Commons licenses. The district court decision was overturned on Wednesday by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
