Copyright Office Releases Online Registration of Claims

U.S. Copyright Office Launching Online Registration Service

Washington - The U.S. Copyright Office has announced that it will introduce its new online copyright registration system on Tuesday.

Copyright Office Adds Online Registration

WASHINGTON, DC (Hypebot) – The U.S. government can seldom be called an early adopter and the Copyright Office kept that tradition alive with their slow paper based copyright process. That all finally changes today with eCO and online registration. The new system offers:

Copyright Office May Have Just Added New Royalties For Webcasts

Well, this is just downright disturbing. Jon Healy has a quick summary of a totally unexpected and unnecessary proposed rulemaking from the Copyright Office that could add additional royalties that webcasters would need to pay (on top of the already onerous webcasting rates). Basically, the Copyright Office had been asked to decide on a totally different question concerning royalties back in 2000. That issue isn't even in question any more, as the two sides had already worked out their differences, and the Copyright Office didn't do much to give an official answer on that question anyway.

Copyright Office discovers web forms, online submissions

Given the fact that copyright has become an unlikely new rallying point for the digital culture wars, you might think that the Copyright Office itself would be the sort of place that's been accepting online submissions for years. You'd be wrong, though.

Is open source hurt by piracy?

Sounds like what you are saying is for example, that the competition in the office suite space is Open Office Vs MS Office Vs pirated MS Office. Those willing to pirate see both Open Office and pirated MS office as "free" alternatives. If we stop piracy, then there is no longer a free MS Office alternative leading them to select Open Office instead.

Copyright Office Gives Webcasters the Shaft

Deep in the bowels of a 250-page Copyright "Office report on a weird, esoteric law, Ars Technica uncovered a tasty little nugget about how Verizon and AT&T might be eligible for some sweet local TV licensing deals for their respective FiOs and U-Verse digital television services. Webcasters, meanwhile, should not be eligible for the same treatment, according to the Copyright Office.

Open Office vs. MS Office - the Other Key to Windows/Linux Transition

As I have been going around alternately prodding my friends and family to try Linux, or asking them if they thought it would be possible, one thing I have heard repeatedly is that a lot of people use Microsoft Office and are concerned about their Office documents on Linux. I should also mention that a lot of them are very angry that Microsoft has changed the default document format in Office 2007 (again), such that it is incompatible with previous Office versions. Yes, of course, I know there are converters and such, but it's just one more thing for users to have to worry about - and in general they aren't confronted with it, or sometimes even aware of it, until they send a critical document to a colleague and discover that the colleague can't open it.

UK IP Office seeks harsher copyright infringement penalties

In late 2006, the UK government received an evaluation of the country's legal landscape, as it pertained to copyright and intellectual property. That analysis, termed the Gower Report, after the head of the committee that produced it, included specific recommendations for modernizing the nation's copyright laws and their enforcement. Now, the UK Intellectual Property Office is soliciting public comment on changes that will implement one of the recommendations of the report, which suggested rationalizing the recommended sentences for those convicted of copyright infringement.

UK Looks To Increase Penalties For Commercial Online Copyright Infringement 10X

When the "Gowers Report" on copyright first came out in the UK, we pointed out that it had a lot of bad ideas included. The one good point was that copyright length shouldn't be extended any more. So, now that the UK is planning to ignore that one good suggestion, it's moving forward with plans to implement the bad suggestions in the report -- such as increasing the fines for online copyright infringement by 10x. To be fair, this is focused just on "commercial-scale" copying where someone is profiting from the infringement. But, given how the recording industry works, how long until they look for ways to expand that definition or increase the fines for "personal copying" to keep them "more aligned" with the fines for commercial copying?

Office Live Workspace 1.2 improves Firefox support

Microsoft Office Live Workspace is a free online service currently in the beta phase (see our first-look post). The website allows users to upload, share, and collaborate on documents but still requires the Microsoft Office client software to perform any substantial editing. Office Live Workspace 1.2 has been recently released, and although it is a web service, the new version requires users to install an update on their computers. The Office Live Update 1.2 installer, which automatically detects and installs necessary updates on a PC, includes the following:

How Copyright Is Holding Back The Creative Class

While not enough people recognize it, the real purpose of copyright law is to provide an incentive for the creation of more content. The government felt that there was a market failure, where not enough "content" would be produced without a limited monopoly, and thus, copyright was born. However, that happened back in the day when creating content wasn't easy. You pretty much had to go through a professional process. These days, thanks to new technologies, creating content is exceptionally easy -- and thus, a big part of the very basis for copyright no longer makes sense. We're drowning in content -- and it's not because of the "incentive" of copyright. There are plenty of incentives for creating content these days and very few have anything to do with copyright.

Explosive Growth Forecast in Online Video Market, Netflix Subscription Model Wins

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The worldwide online video market is experiencing dramatic growth, reports In-Stat. Worldwide online video revenue is expected to eclipse US$4.5 billion by 2012, up from $1.2 billion in 2008, the high-tech market research firm says. Purchased/rented videos are expected to offer the most robust growth for online video in the near term, in large part due to an increase in subscription services such as Netflix, which charges a flat monthly fee to deliver an optimal combination of packaged goods and online content that can be viewed on home TV sets. Ad-supported professional video from major TV networks will become a strong revenue contributor by 2012.“What is now seen as a predominantly younger pastime will spread to encompass a wider group of people, in part due to the aging of current online video viewers, but also a
