TiVo CEO Tom Rogers has seen the future, and he doesn’t like it. Rogers sent out a fairly chilling letter to shareholders last night that spelled out the demise of network television.
I agree that Network TV is doomed. It has been turning into crap and getting worse for years. Even shows that are good are unbearable to watch unless you wait and rent them on DVD months later. The reason is that there are way too many…

Two more sites have been fined some $4 million for enabling copyright infringement by linking to illegal movies and TV shows. The MPAA hails the judgments as a victory, even if the sites weren’t hosting the copyrighted material themselves.
The damages totaled $2.7 million for ShowStash and $1.3 million for Cinematube, neither of which were particularly well-known to the general Internet community. The MPAA doesn't seem to care much that it gives free publicity to these…

In a stunning decision, a court has corrected one of the greatest injustices in comics history: “After seventy years, Jerome Siegels heirs regain what he granted so long ago ? the copyright in the Superman material that was published in Action Comics Vol. 1.”

Are you a blogger or podcaster? Or do you enjoy pro football games? Maybe you make videos for YouTube. You need to know about fair use. It might save your butt someday.
Folks rightly feel violated when a post they’ve put a lot of effort into shows up on some anonymous blog surrounded by AdSense ads. But with the global nature of the web, what real recourse does the average hobby blogger have?

During the two year investigation into The Pirate Bay, several people connected to the site were questioned. The Swedish police allegedly used some of the harshest (Jack Bauer like) interrogation tactics to get them to talk, with surprising results.

Unlike AT&T, Verizon won’t monitor its network to block unauthorized copying. That would violate customer privacy, it says, and would be expensive too.
I don’t see the options in this debate — Maybe AT&T should relocate their headquarters to China since they’re in such a rush to co-operate with policing the contents of the internet. Hollywood needs to do a couple things that…
