Long-arm statutes were designed to extend personal jurisdiction outside of state lines. But no doubt the legislators who enacted these statutes never dreamed that the long arm they were creating might stretch around the world thanks to the internet.
P enguin v. American Buddha is the latest case to shape the boundaries of the long-arm statute… [read post]

As for the particulars of SOPA, perhaps there are some who are against the legislation for valid, thoughtful reasons and would like to see something better. That, however, seems to be the substantial minority. Those who are against SOPA seem to want to protect online piracy as if they are entitled to access the creative works of others for free. In economic terms those who steal intellectual property are freeloaders. These freeloaders are just like the many non-productive members of society who… [read post]

With the new school year rapidly approaching I thought I might take this opportunity to provide some answers to questions I am frequently asked relating to copyrights by educators and administrators. I have tried to be as thorough as possible, but thorough and complete answers are well beyond the scope of this article. Complete thoroughness is also difficult any time you are dealing with copyrights, particularly in an educational context, because the creator owns "exclusive rights," but "fair use"… [read post]

The BNA Patent, Trademark & Copyright Journal recently published my article dealing with the aftermath of the deadlock in Costco v. Omega. The article analyzes the policy issues in conflict and provides some guidance about how those in the copyright supply chain-manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers- can protect themselves from claims under Section 602 of the Copyright Act. It is here. [read post]

I know the title sounds a bit provocative. But the opinion in Sony BMG v. Tenenbaum protects a willful music downloader in copyright infringement litigation based on a bizarre interpretation of the Digital Theft Deterrence Act of 1999. Here is my article published in a recent BNA Patent Trademark & Copyright Journal (respectfully) critical of the… [read post]

By Brian Taylor Goldstein, Esq. Dear Law and Disorder: Does all music (if not in public domain) require a mechanical license to be recorded? I don’t quite understand when it is needed and when a person could pay a statutory fee and move forward without permission. Yes, anytime you want to make an audio recording [...] [read post]

A few weeks ago, I sat down for a long interview with Matthew Chan of ExtortionLetterInfo.com. Chan and his partner, Oscar Michelen, have been at the forefront of the stock photo industry’s massive copyright campaign, which I previously covered here.The interview, which lasts 32 minutes, covers a lot of ground related to this campaign and how I, someone who is a strong believer in copyright, can not support such strong arm tactics.It’s a very lively and enthusiastic discussion about the stock… [read post]

I posted Friday on how YouTube's Copyright School propaganda video flunks copyright law here. Now the Wall Street Journal posts a video where one journalist interviews another journalist about copyright law (below).According to the "journalist" interviewee, YouTube has posted the video because it just wants to communicate that "copyright law is pretty complicated" and wants everyone to be "as educated as possible."Sorry, but journalists working for the same company interviewing each other is not… [read post]

Last week I gave an interview via satellite with Boise TV station KTVB (Note: I had mistakenly said on Twitter it was KBOI) about the Vaughn Ward plagiarism scandal. The interview was part of a larger special on plagiarism in politics and the scandal itself.To recap what had happened, Ward was, at the time, a Republican candidate in the Senate primary. He was accused of plagiarizing President Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. The accusations were originally made by a… [read post]
