Veoh.com, an online video sharing website, has filed a pre-emptive lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), asking a federal judge to stop the music label from filing its own copyright infringement action.
Veoh Networks Inc. is arguing that they are entitled to protection under the “safe harbor” provision of U.S. copyright law… adding that they do not encourage users to infringe on any copyrights and actually go beyond today’s current legal requirements to investigate and remove infringing material when notified to do so.
A court in Moscow has acquitted the former owner of the Russian music website, AllofMp3.com, who sold downloads of Western music as low as $0 .10 per track. According to the District Judge, “The prosecution did not succeed in presenting persuasive evidence of his involvement in infringing copyright law.”
The website was closed in June due to pressure from US music companies, but not before attracting millions of customers.
“Feel Reel Good” by Manix (aka Marc Mac from 4 Hero) took over the rave scene in the early 90’s… but that was then. Now it’s time to give this old track a new life, by giving it a 21st century sound.
On Sunday, AT&T offered a live feed of Lollapalooza to fans using their Blue Room entertainment webcast… on a slight delay. Pearl Jam Headlined the concert, and during their performance a content monitor working for AT&T censored two lines of lyrics that criticized President Bush.
Eddie Vedder improvised the following lyrics while singing Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” and was censored… “George Bush leave this world alone” and “George Bush find yourself another home.”
Needless to say it sounds like the Pearl Jam camp is pissed.
