      EFF sues Viacom over YouTube takedown of Colbert parody

      Posted by Jeff from BoingBoing

      Oh Viacom, you should read those DMCA lists of clips before you order them taken down: The video, called "Stop the Falsiness," was created by MoveOn and Brave New Films as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on Colbert's portrayal of the right-wing media and parodying MoveOn's own reputation for earnest political activism.

    • Fair Use Bill Introduced In Congress

      Posted by Kathy from lockergnome.com

      A first-step counterpoint to the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998? U.S. Rep. Rich Boucher (D-VA.) and John Dolittle (R-CA) have introduced the "The FAIR USE Act" (long title: Freedom and Innovation Revitalizing U.S. Entrepreneurship Act -- don't ya love how bill names conveniently add up to a catchy acronym?).

    There is quite a bit of momentum being generated on the subject and the who’s who of the Internet media is reacting vociferously to the AP intervention. AP is already on a bit of a backfoot with all the furious reactions, it will be interesting to see what kind of terms finally emerge.

    Ars Technica is skeptical. They provide background on prior versions of this bill and how those bills imploded when they hit the wall that is the recording industry.

    Even the press release from Broucher’s office says:

    “In an effort to address the concerns expressed by content owners, the FAIR USE Act does not contain provisions which would have established a fair use defense to the act of circumvention.

    The legislation instead contains specific exemptions to section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which do not pose a comparable potential threat to their business models.”

    Not holding my breath.
