Copyright Czar Victoria Espinel unveiled Tuesday the Obama administration’s first “Joint Strategic Plan” concerning intellectual property
enforcement — and she gave a big nod to fair use.

The plan was required under the Pro-IP Act of 2008, which created Espinel’s post. The act was watered down to eliminate a Justice Department mandate that it assume duties of the movie studios and recording industry and sue copyright scofflaws.

“Strong intellectual property enforcement efforts should be focused on stopping those stealing the work of others, not those who are appropriately building upon it,” said the report, referring to fair use.

I'll believe that when I see it happen...until then?...these guys have done nothing but talk out of both sides of thier faces...there are just too many examples of them doing exactly the opposite of what they have either said they will do...or are doing.

Article discussing RightHaven's "business model"

[link to www.snowflakesinhell.com]

They pretty much admit it. Here’s the Wired article speaking about how they are pretty much buying up newspaper content in order to sue bloggers:

AND it is a money losing business model. Definitely a power play.

This RightHaven founder Steven Gibson is definitely a "Chicago Guy"...so I did a little digging in the public domain.....

Steven A. Gibson

Born: Chicago, Illinois, December 11, 1963

School: Chicago-Kent College of Law
Degree: J.D.
City: Chicago
State: IL
Year: 1990
Honors: IIT/Chicago-Kent College of Law. Cum Laude 1990.

Prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Gibson was an associate at Sidley Austin LLP a Chicago Law firm...

Just click on "Work History"

[link to www.nolo.com]


well well well...another Chicago guy who was there at the time finishing up Law School along with....Barack Obama...maybe they crossed paths?

In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year,[37] and president of the journal in his second year.[38] During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990

[link to en.wikipedia.org]


...Guess where Mr and Mrs Obama met....

Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin, where she first met her future husband.

>>>> And Guess what Michelle and Steven Gibson both did???
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW...AT THE SAME LAW FIRM...!!!

At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property.

Unreal...the networking between these people is staggering...

Are you kidding??????

Networking is how business, law, politics and everything else is done.

Bombard Drudge, Breitbart, Glenn Beck, etc with this info.



idiot, idiot, idiot.

Why the hell would you send this info to those corporate media pieces of shit?

You have a lot to learn you fucking imbecile! Let me 'splain' it. In a couple years when the republicans take over, they'll be using the same slimey companies to come after us for practicing free speech. My god, you people who play the false dichotomy game (according to type of course) are a bunch of fucking idiots. Stupid and suggestible, and proud of it.

Ok if this is true....does this mean there will end up being ONE news source down the road? ONE set of reporters working for ONE company...because if several reporters are writing about the same thing, what if they have the same viewpoints?

Since news coverage serves a "public good," it is up to the government to perpetuate these traditional media. "

I actually work for a small newspaper...it's mostly filled with community/local news though...the smaller news places like ours are just barely getting by, but the big guys are having a hard time.

I know many have had their subscriptions cut...some due to economy but mostly (I think) because people now get their news online.

So do you think this is one reason they are doing this?
