Courtesy of IP Law Daily I came across this hard-to-pigeonhole video from a copyright attorney in DC named “Ron.” Ron offers a run-down of copyright law, including what seem like solid interpretations of the Napster and Grokster court decisions.
According to Ron’s analysis, YouTube will likely win any infringement lawsuits filed against it because it’s clear that YouTube is not “inducing infringement,” the standard set by the Supreme Court in Grokster. He also advocates that YouTube viewers make videos that serve as amicus curae or friend of the court briefs in the Robert Tur lawsuit against YouTube.
Ignore Ron’s outfit, intended, I assume, to look “Hollywood” (dark sunglasses, suit without a tie). He’s a legit lawyer and this ten-minute video is actually informative. (For feed readers, here’s the link to the video.)
