BCCL Launches TimesContent – Could This Usher In an Era Of Lawsuits?
2009-08-21 07:02:00 Times Syndication Service, the syndication division of the Times of India Group (BCCL) had recently launched an online portal to service the B2B selling of archived images and content. TimesContent.com shall replace the existing offline means by which other newspapers, online content providers and corporates contact the Times Group to buy their copyrighted images for their private use. The launch of this online service would mean that any client could manually search from over 180,000 images and make a purchase; eliminating manual intervention. Besides images, clients could also look for text, cartoons, illustrations, audio/video and microfilm presentations. This could very well turn out to be an excellent cash cow business for TSS in the long run. Presently, a lot of copyright violations with respect to images happens majorly because there is no easy way to legally use a copyrighted image. The number of clients who have subscribed to the service is not presently available with us,...

Frivolous lawsuits against police
2009-08-13 14:11:00 I missed this in my rush to get out of town a few days ago. Chicago Bar-Tender reports that the mother of Rakeem Nance has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department.Where do I start with this?I wrote about the circumstances of Rakeem Nance's death last month ("Why we shoot people in the back") and took issue with the way one story in particular described the incident. Here's the deal: shortly after committing a home invasion with a couple of accomplices, Rakeem Nance was spotted and chased by police officers.

Still No USOC Lawsuits Over Seattle-Area Use of OLYMPIC as Trademark
2008-06-09 05:10:00 Not to tempt fate, but I couldn’t help but notice that the U.S. Olympic Committee has not flooded the Western District of Washington with lawsuits over Seattle-area companies’ use of OLYMPIC in their names and trademarks. (See STL posts on this issue from August 12, 2007; Jan. 10, 2008; Jan. 13, 2008; and Jan. 28, 2008). In fact, the USOC has not filed a single lawsuit in the Western District despite hundreds of Washington businesses making use of the word that has caused the USOC to send letters to some demanding that they cease and desist such use. Its heavy-handed demand letters notwithstanding, the USOC seems to have a lighter touch when it comes to filing suit. Knock on wood.

R.Kelly will go to jail..... it seems:
2008-05-30 22:04:00 It would take someone 44 years ? working nonstop, 24/7, 365 days a year ? to be able to fake the sex tape at the heart of R. Kelly's child-pornography trial, a forensic video analyst testified Thursday (May 29). "It's simply not possible. It's not possible to fabricate these images without detection, and there is no doctoring in any part. We don't have the technology yet to fabricate the errors and the facial features and the motion and the light in this way, not like this." Even more damaging to the defense was when the analyst took images of the man on the tape and the room featured on the tape and matched them to Kelly and his former home. And that ain't all, last week defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. made a big deal about a mole on R kelly's back saying it was not visible on the man in the video. So when the analyst showed how a spot on the male's back was in fact visible in a half-second's worth of footage once the tape was slowed down, the proverbial shit hit the fan. "It...

The R.Kelly Trial: Sparkle takes the stand:
2008-05-23 20:30:00 After watching the sex tape on opening day, the defense is sticking to their story that that is not R. Kelly on the sex tape and the woman shown is not the niece of R&B singer Sparkle who would have been around 13 or 14 at the time the tape was made. Although the girl is denying it was her as well, four key witnesses have identified her as the victim in the sex tape including her best friend at the time and Sparkle, who got into a spat with the defense attorney yesterday: Check out the play by play below:The loud bickering began when Genson asked if someone could have doctored the illicit video to make it appear as if Kelly were paying a young girl to perform various sex acts. Edwards, who wore cosmetic glitter under her left eye to provide her trademark ?sparkle,? gave a snide smile.?I know my family,? she said. ?I know them. Trust me.??And so you know and believe your [relative] took money from Robert Kelly and then had sex with him, which is on that tape?? Genson asked. ?That...

The lawyer told jurors that, when the video is shown, it will become clear the man on the tape had no such mole. He said the FBI could not identify the man on the tape as Kelly. [SOURCE]

Kelly?s upcoming child pornography trial that she had a three-way sexual encounter with Kelly and the allegedly underage girl shown in the video at the heart of the case.
