With the site's acquisition by Google in October 2006, the possibilities for YouTube's growth became truly endless. However, there is a darker side to the story of the Internet sensation, one that is grounded in its potential liability for copyright infringement. The issue is that many of the most-viewed and most-popular videos on the site are copyrighted.

  • Parker V. Yahoo!, Inc
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA GORDON ROY PARKER : CIVIL ACTION : v. : : YAHOO!, INC., et al. : NO. 07-2757 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER McLaughlin, J. September 25, 2008 Plaintiff Gordon Roy Parker (“Parker”), pro se, brings this action against Defendants Yahoo!, Inc. (“Yahoo”) and Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”), alleging copyright infringement, breach of contract, and negligence. Before the Court are the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The Court will grant in part and deny in part these motions. I. The Complaint Parker is the author of several registered works including Outfoxing the Foxes and Why Hotties Choose Losers , both which are published online and are freely available from Parker’s website. Defendants Yahoo and Microsoft own and operate widely used internet search engines. Parker alleges that these search engines create and republish unauthorized “cached” copies of his works. That is, when an internet user runs a search on either of the defendants’ search engines, the search results include hyperlinks to archived, or “cached,” copies of the web pages that are responsive to the user’s inquiry. A user may view these search results either by following a hyperlink to the original website or, alternatively, by viewing the “cached” copy that is hosted on the defendants’ computers. Parker concedes in his complaint that the defendants each provide opt-out mechanisms that would prevent his websites from being cached, but that Parker has not made use of them. Parker claims that by making cached copies of his websites available to their users, both Yahoo and Microsoft republish his works in their entirety without his permission.

  • Cloud Computing in the Education Setting
    A P R I L 2 0 1 4 CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE EDUCATION SETTING BRIEF TECHNOLOGY POLICY During the 2014 Regular Session, the Senate Committee on Education and Health referred SB 599 to the Joint Commission on Technology and Science for study.1 SB 599 requires each cloud computing service provider that enters into a contract with a local school board to provide services to only process and monitor student data according to the terms of its contract with the local school board. The bill prohibits the providers from using cloud computing services for any secondary purpose, such as developing online behavioral advertising, creating or correcting an individual household profile, selling student data for any commercial purpose, or other similar for-profit activities. Relevant to the issues addressed in SB 599 is a currently-pending federal case in Northern California involving cloud computing privacy standards. The plaintiffs in that case, styled In Re: Google Inc. Gmail Litigation, challenge Google’s operation of its advertising-supported electronic messaging service (Gmail) under state and federal anti-wiretapping laws and seek damages and injunctive relief related to Google’s interception and data-mining of email over a period of several years. This case directly relates to SB 599 because two of the plaintiffs, college students Rob- ert Fread and Rafael Carrillo, used Google Apps for Education cloud productivity tools suite. Google Apps for Education is a tool that Google touts as “[f]ree Web- based email, calendar & documents for collaborative study anytime, anywhere.”2 According to Google, as of October 2012, over 20 million students were relying on Apps for Education for email, calendaring, cloud-based storage, and document cre- ation.

  • Judge Rejects Google Book Settlement
    Editor: Henry Reichman, California State University, East Bay Founding Editor: Judith F. Krug (1940–2009) Publisher: Barbara Jones Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association ISSN 0028-9485 May 2011 Vol. LX No. 3 www.ala.org/nif Google’s ambition to create the world’s largest digital library and bookstore has run into the reality of a 300-year-old legal concept: copyright. The company’s plan to digitize every book ever published and make them widely available was derailed March 22 when a federal judge in New York rejected a sweeping $125 million legal settlement the company had worked out with groups representing authors and publishers. The decision threw into legal limbo one of the most ambitious undertakings in Google’s history, and brought into sharp focus concerns about the company’s growing power over information. While the profit potential of the book project is not clear, the effort is one of the pet projects of Larry Page, the Google co-founder who became its chief executive judge rejects in April. The project has wide support inside the company, whose corporate mission is to organize all of the world’s information. Google book “It was very much consistent with Larry’s idealism that all of the world’s information should be made available freely,” said Ken Auletta, the author of Googled: The End of the World as We Know It. settlement Citing copyright, antitrust and other concerns, Judge Denny Chin said that the settle- ment went too far. He said it would have granted Google a “de facto monopoly” and the right to profit from books without the permission of copyright owners.

  • Tommy Dorsey 1 9
    Glenn Miller Archives TOMMY DORSEY 1 9 3 5 Prepared by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Chronology Part 1 - Chapter 1 Updated February 5, 2021 “I’ll Never Say Never Again” “The Brothers” Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey The Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra opened at the Glen Island Casino, New Rochelle, New York on May 15, 1935. Many celebrities attended the successful opening night and the band was in top form. All signs pointed to a successful summer season and further sales of more records. In addition, the Glen Island Casino was wired for numerous nationwide radio broadcasts. However, an undercurrent of tension existed between the brothers. May 30, 1935, during the Decoration Day holiday weekend (now known as Memorial Day), the situation came to a head. As Tommy led the band into the tune “I’ll Never Say “Never Again” Again”, the vocal trio of Roc Hillman, Skeets Herfurt and Don Matteson were approaching the microphone. They remembered hearing Jimmy say something like “Hey, Mac, that’s a little fast, isn’t it?” Tommy reportedly replied, “You want to take over? It’s all yours” and he walked off the bandstand before the audience at the Glen Island Casino. By late July Tommy reluctantly returned to finish the engagement with Jimmy and the band at the urging of Tommy Rockwell and a threat by Michael DeZutter, owner of the Glen Island Casino, to nullify the Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra contract for the remainder of the engagement. Cork O’Keefe unsuccessfully tried to reconcile the brothers. Tommy refused to work with his brother and the Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra became Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra.
