Back in January we told you that the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) was asking for everyone’s help in its fight to keep jailbreaking legal. It suggested leaving a comment on the Copyright Office’s comment board to show your support. The board closed on February 10th, and the Copyright Office recently published everyone’s entries.
Saurik explains why jailbreaking should remain legal
We already wrote about the pointless copyright freakout that some are having about Pinterest -- and since then, not a day has gone by without someone pointing us to yet another hysterical article by someone about how Pinterest is some copyright horror show. Lately there have been a bunch of... silly... stories about the specifics of Pinterest's terms of service. However, in all of this debate, one rather important point seems to have been left out of most of the discussions: Pinterest drives a ton of traffic back to original sources . For all the concerns about how Pinterest is infringing on various sites and copyright holders, the reality appears to be that it drives so much traffic that it's difficult to understand why people are complaining: Beginning this summer, Pinterest became the top social referrer for marthastewartweddings.com and marthastewart.com, sending more traffic to both properties than Facebook and Twitter combined.
In All This Talk Of Pinterest And Copyright, The Fact That It's Driving Massive Traffic Seems Important
Green’s MP Gareth Hughes explains the new US internet laws that have the likes of Wikipedia upset, and why we should care : The Green Party is deeply concerned about the Stop Internet Piracy ( SOPA ) and PROTECT IP ( PIPA ) Acts currently causing quite a stir in the US and its impacts on New Zealanders access to a free and open Internet and online businesses. Copyright is always a balance however these proposed laws give rights-holders exceptional and unprecedented powers. These proposed draconian laws could see Kiwi websites blocked from the US and effectively the world by blocking search engines and other websites from linking as well as terminating online payment based on allegations requiring costly litigation to remedy. Imagine a small Kiwi online business blocked from Google searches, running online advertising or even processing VISA transactions or even losing their domain name because of a US copyright allegation that they can’t afford to challenge in a US court.

EU court: Web sites need not check for IP breaches
By The Associated Press BRUSSELS (AP) — An EU court is ruling that social networking sites can't be compelled to install general filters to prevent illegal trading of music and other copyrighted material. The EU Court of Justice ruled Thursday that requiring such filters, covering all the site's users, would not sufficiently protect personal data or the freedom to receive and impart information.
