Google’s sudden music blog purge and its implications
Yesterday, in response to allegations of DMCA violations, several popular music blogs were wiped off the face of the net. They were hosted by Google via Blogger, and it was only after they were completely erased that the owners received emails to the effect of “We got one too many complaints — you’re deleted. Love, Google.” It’s trending around the net as “Musicblogocide 2010,” but that puts too much of it on Google’s lap, I think. After all, it’s the clumsy and outdated DMCA that actually led to the blogs being deleted. | source : www.crunchgear.com

L’avenir radieux de l’internet ne se passe pas du tout comme prévu
Avec iTunes, l’AppStore et maintenant sa librairie iBooks, Apple ne fait pas, en ligne, du « partage d’UGC », mais bel et bien de la commercialisation de contenus créés par des professionnels (musique, vidéo, jeux, maintenant livres) ! Et les nouveaux jouets que la firme propose aujourd’hui visent bien à accroître encore ce marché, sans se soucier plus que ça de la mise en ligne des merveilleux contenus produits par les utilisateurs… de ses propres ordinateurs et logiciels de création | source : novovision.fr

BBC Munchy Box infringement | The 23x blog
Yes, that’s my Munchy Box photo and even the text has been wrenched from the pages of this very blog. I know Radio 6 is my favourite radio station, but that doesn’t excuse their nicking two of my photos and plagiarising my bloody blog, does it. | source : blog.23x.net

Copyright, companies, individuals and news: the rules of the road |
Debates about copyright fall apart when they're pitched in terms of absolutes: "Copyright prohibits all copying", or "Non-commercial copying is always legal". Copyright started life as an industrial regulation that set out the rules governing the relationship between different actors in the supply-chain of the "creative industries" (originally just publishing, later music, film, software and many other industries). | source : www.guardian.co.uk

British Journal of Photography - The Independent apologises for photographer's breach of copyright
The email exchange, published on Flickr, shows Leach answering that The Independent didn't think it had breach the photographer's copyright. 'We took a stream from Flickr which is, as you know, a photo-sharing website. The legal assumption, therefore, is that you were not asserting your copyright in that arena. We did not take the photo from Flickr, nor present it as anything other than as it is shown there. I do no consider, therefore, that any copyright has been breached or any payment due,' Leach wrote. | source : www.bjp-online.com

The Myth of Music Ownership - O'Reilly Broadcast
A file is NOT the same thing as a piece of plastic -- and you prove it every time you sync your iPod. You cannot duplicate a vinyl record simply by pushing a button; to do that, you have to go buy another record. But every time you download a song from iTunes to iPhone, you're just copying numbers, with restrictions that make it seem like a physical transfer of atoms, instead of a data transmission. Copyright lawyers and media software engineers have built an entire industry on this concept: in certain cases, "bits are the same thing as atoms". Consumers have bought into it, because it's convenient, and fun, and they can't do anything about it anyway. | source : broadcast.oreilly.com
