Microsoft denies adding copyright scanner to Zune
2008-05-08 13:23:00 The New York Times has an interesting story about how Microsoft might be including a "copyright scanner" in their Zune product to check to make sure all your music is legit!If you like to download the latest episodes of “Heroes” or other NBC shows from BitTorrent, maybe you shouldn’t buy a Microsoft Zune to watch them on. A future update of the software for Microsoft’s portable media player may well include a feature that will block unauthorized copies of copyrighted videos from being played on it. Tuesday, Microsoft announced that it would start selling video programming for the Zune, mainly TV shows. These include programs from NBC Universal, which has pulled its shows off Apple’s iTunes Store. Late Tuesday afternoon I reached J. B. Perrette, the president of digital distribution for NBC Universal, to ask why NBC found Microsoft’s video store more appealing than Apple’s. He explained that NBC, like most studios, would like the broadest distribution possible for its programming. B...

Copyright breach: Clients of Virtual Map switch providers - SIngapore
2008-05-05 08:11:00 Copyright breach: Clients of Virtual Map switch providers - SIngapore Ban on firm from using govt-owned material also applies to its customers By Chua Hian Hou LOOKING FOR DIRECTIONS: Users of streetdirectory.com can no longer access Virtual Map’s online maps. Instead, they are greeted by a tongue-in-cheek notice saying the maps ‘have escaped out the window’. — MUGILAN RAJASEGERAN  COMPANIES still using Virtual Map’s online maps on their websites are starting to look for alternative providers. This is because a court order banning Virtual Map from using copyrighted material owned by the Government also applies to the maps it supplies to customers. While Virtual Map did not say how many of these have switched map providers, there are signs that some are deserting it. Yellow Pages’ website, for instance, switched its map provider just two weeks ago, said the directory service’s marketing communications manager, Ms Sharon Liew. Meanwhile,...

To P2P Or Not To P2P: Copyright Laws 101 (Part 2 of 2)
2008-04-30 04:50:00 Continuing the first-ever TFCMB series, this post will continue what I started in Part 1. We're going to take a look at what music is legal and what is not, which will hopefully help you decide for yourselves. Before I get started, a disclaimer:~Warning! The links in this post are to illegal music sites. That means you should not download things from them!Don't download music from sites or blogs like this one*, Download Christian Music. The idea is to make music available in countries where they don't have Christian music stores. It's a nice idea, but unfortunately breaks quite a few laws. Don't frequent sites like this.Don't get music from fan-made profiles on Purevolume or Myspace, or other similar sites. How do you tell if a profile is fan-made? Well, fans usually don't pay much attention to grammar, spelling, and proper capitalization. They often look like this: example. Notice the absence of any text and that the guy is from Venezuela.

To P2P Or Not To P2P: Copyright Laws 101 (Part 1 of 2)
2008-04-29 01:22:00 I've receive tons of emails since I started TFCMB asking if such and such download was legal. (Yes, I mean you, Brian and Daniel.) To save time, I'm going to try and explain what makes a download legal or not. Since it's a huge topic, I'm going to take two posts to try and explain the basics. To start with, why you should follow copyright law.Let's say you go onto a shady website and download one small Audio Adrenaline song to your computer. No big deal, right? Wrong.First and most importantly, that's wrong. It may not seem like much, but you stole music. "Thou shalt not steal" sound familiar?Second, it hurts Audio Adrenaline, the record company, the music distributors, the fast food joint where the band eats on tour, etc. It's expensive making good music.Thirdly, it hurts our witness. Thing about it: Christians stealing Christian music?!? How hypocritical is that? That's like a vegetarian running a slaughter house. Small things like not buckling your seat bel...

Giving Away Spoilers Isn't Copyright Infringement
2008-04-21 06:05:00 We pointed to some of JK Rowling's questionable testimony in the case against a publisher of a guide book to the Harry Potter universe -- where she made a bunch of emotional claims that had little to do with copyright. In wrapping up the case, she again made contradictory claims, backing away from earlier claims of the book being "wholesale theft" to saying that she wasn't so against the book if it only didn't quote so much of the book. But the much odder part of the case was the closing testimony from the lawyer representing Warner Brothers (who owns the Harry Potter IP rights), claiming that the real harm was that the Harry Potter Lexicon gives away spoilers.

2008-04-18 04:42:00 With all of the great news happening for BMW and its enthusiasts, there was today a piece of bad news for the BMW spy photography world. Hans G. Lehmann, one of the world’s most renowned and recognized figures in the automotive world, has announced his retirement. After decades of showing off his pictures of new camouflaged cars –the reason for car camo is undoubtedly due to Lehmann’s uncovering pictures- to magazines and enthusiasts alike, he is heading off into that photographer retirement place, possibly called home, a place he probably hasn’t seen a lot in his years. If you have ever seen spy shots from Germany’s Nürburgring, they are most likely Hans’s pictures you were looking at. Over the years he has photographed pretty much every BMW spy shot I think I have ever seen. You will always see the "copyright: Hans G. Lehmann" tag on the photo.

2008-04-17 09:41:00 A city court on Tuesday summoned Bollywood actor and producer Aamir Khan to depose as witness in a seven-year-old case of violation of copyright in connection with his blockbuster movie Lagaan. Metropolitan Magistrate Jagdish Kumar issued summons to Aamir Khan for February 10, 2009. The court had last year issued summons to the actor asking him to appear on Tuesday, but he failed to do so.

Anil Malhotra, the complainant in the case, told the court that he had the copyright of these two films.

'Krazzy 4' case highlights Bollywood's copyright woes
2008-04-16 07:42:00 Musician Ram Sampat's Rs 2 crore out of court settlement with filmmaker Rakesh Roshan for alleged plagiarism has again highlighted Bollywood's ignorance of copyright laws. Many industry people hailed the decision even though some were against the way Sampat went about securing his rights. The industry reacts: Subhash Ghai: "Though I've no right to comment on this case without knowing the inside story I must say we sometimes mistake an inspired re-worked version of a song or film as our own original work of art without realizing the complications of copyright laws. It's no secret that we in this country have been adapting and re-working on music and movies completely ignorant of the laws. This case has warned us about the future. However I'm sure Rajesh Roshan is talented enough not to pick on anyone's work.
