| NY District Court Strikes Music Bootlegging Law |
| on Sunday, September 26, 2004 - 05:30 AM Posted by: elliot |
U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. dismissed a federal indictment of Jean Martignon, who runs a Manhattan mail-order and Internet business that sells bootleg recordings. The judge struck down a 1994 law banning the sale of bootleg recordings of live music, ruling the law unfairly grants "seemingly perpetual protection" to the original performances. Cf. U.S. v. Moghadam, 175 F 3d 1269, 1272 (11th Cir. 1999). Read the article here. |

| What's GNU? |
| on Monday, August 23, 2004 - 09:32 AM Posted by: elliot |
 By Elliot Zimmerman, Attorney At Law, Fort Lauderdale, FL The GNU (“Generally Not Unix”) General Public License (“GPL”), or GNU GPL for short, which can be viewed here, is used by authors who want their works to remain free for others to copy and change. Under the terms of the GNU GPL, the author first copyrights the original work then licenses it to the public to use for free, provided that anyone who redistributes it, with or without changes, must pass along the freedom to further copy and change it. Sometimes, others add changes to the original work licensed to the public under the terms of the GNU GPL which in and of themselves rise to the level of a new original copyrightable work, and not a derivative of the GNU GPL licensed original. When can the author of an original computer program, who has licensed the initial work to the public under the terms of the GNU GPL, force others, who have copied and changed the original, to freely distribute the resulting new work with the modifications and additions? |
