He noted that the FCC released a national broadband plan three years ago that called for increasing high-speed access. •••• Part of that strategy included expanding access to wireless spectrum, and the agency has worked to try to lure broadcasters to give up someof their airwaves in exchange for money from the government's auction of rights to use them to telecom companie •••• He said his biggest accomplishment was focusing the agency on expanding high-speed Internet access. For example, he pushed the FCC to make more public airwaves available to deliver the Internet over smartphones and other mobile devices. ••••"Three years ago, the U.S. mobile market was on the doorstep of duopoly. It would have been bad for the American innovation economy and bad for consumers," said Genachowski, who helped derail AT&T Inc.'s proposed $39-billion purchase of T-Mobile USA Inc. in 2011. •••Consumer advocates acknowledged that Genachowski deserved credit for helping block the AT&T-T-Mobile deal. But some leading public interest groups said the FCC under Genachowski approved other mergers that have reduced competition. •••• When he was appointed the first Democratic FCC chairman in eight years many hoped for a tough regulator that he would bring to connclusion such major issues as the limits of media owwnership in major makets. But these issues remain unresolved.. ••••However, Genachowski worked on some longtime thorny issues that didn't get widespread attention. ••••Under his leadergsuuod the FCC in 2011 overhauled the $8-billion Universal Service Fund. The fund, paid for by fees on consumer phone bills, provided subsidies for phone service to rural and low-income households. The FCC refocused the fund on providing subsidies for high-speed Internet service. •• Genachowski touted a huge believer in wireless. •••• David Kaut, a telecommunications regulatory analyst at brokerage Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., said Genachowski has been "a huge believer in wireless." • •••• Kaut noted the FCC's push to encourage broadcasters to give up some of their airwaves in exchange for some of the proceeds from government auctions of spectrum use to telecom companies. The first such auctions could take place next year, freeing up more airwaves for mobile Internet access. •••••••"Cleary the wireless industry has boomed over the last few years," he said. "I think there will be a lot of debate about how much of that was because of the FCC." ••••Some public interest groups, such as Free Press, said Genachowski's should have pushed for tougher "net neutrality" rules to preserve open Internet access. ••••Public Knowledge, a public interest group that has pushed for more protections for consumers against large telecommunications companies, said Genachowski's tenure was one of missed opportunities. The group urged Obama to appoint an FCC chair "who will put the public interest first. ••••But Mark Cooper, director of research at the Consumer Federation of America, said Genachowski did a good job balancing the needs of consumers without squelching innovation. • Speculation about Genachowski's replacement -- ••••Among them so far are Democratic FCC Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel; Catherine J.K. Sandoval, a member of the California Public Utilities Commission; Karen Kornbluh, the U.S. ambassador to the international Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; Lawrence Strickling, head of the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration; and Washington, D.C., venture/ capitalist Tom Wheeler. ••••Clyburn told reporters Friday that Genachowski had "done remarkable things."

Kirtsaeng was ordered to turn over his golf clubs, computer and printer as partial payment. ••• But in Tuesday's decision, the Supreme Court found the Thai student's view of U.S. copyright law "more persuasive" than the publishing industry's, and it threw out the verdict against him. ••• In doing so, the justices adopted a version of ebay's motto: "If you bought it, you own it, and you have a right to sell it.". • Judges had been divided over whether -- copyright protection extended to works that were lawfully made and sold abroad, but were imported for resale in the United States. One part of the law says the U.S. copyright holder has an "exclusive right to distribute copies" in the United States. ••• A second part of the law says the rights of the copyright holder are protected only for the "first sale" of a work. For example, a book publisher profits from the first sale of a novel, but the buyer is then free to sell it as a used book. ••• In Kirtsaeng vs. John Wiley, the high court decided the copyright holders get only the protection for a first sale and not a protection against copies being imported into the U.S. for resale. ••• "This decision is a landmark win for consumers, small businesses, online marketplaces, retailers and libraries," said a coalition called the Owners' Rights Initiative. Its members include EBay and Overstock.com as well as libraries, used-book stores and discount retailers. ••• But U.S. companies that sell books and software around the world said they were disappointed by the ruling. ••• "The truth is, the ruling for Kirtsaeng will send a tremor through the publishing industries, harming both U.S. publishers and students around the world," said Keith Kupferschmid, counsel for the Software & Information Industry Assn. ••• Indeed, the ruling has ramifications that extend beyond books to all types of copyrighted works -- including music and movies -- sold around the world, said Tom Allen, chief executive of the Assn. of American Publishers. ••• The motion picture and recording industries had told the court their international marketing strategy would be upset if they could not prevent unauthorized sales of video discs or CDs in the United States. They said filmmakers often introduce films at different times in other parts of the globe. ••• "Under Kirtsaeng's view, a studio could not release a movie on home video disc in one market while the movie was still in theaters in the United States … without incurring risk that unauthorized importation of those discs could detract from the success of the U.S. theatrical release," the Motion Picture Assn. of America argued in its friend-of-the court brief. ••• In response to the ruling, the MPAA said the decision "will hinder American business' ability to compete overseas to the detriment of the long-term economic interests of the United States, and particularly its creative industries." ••• Howard Gantman, its spokesman, stressed the ruling dealt only with resale of products made abroad, such as DVDs, not with theatrical releases or online distribution of movies. ••• Kirtsaeng, who returned to Thailand to teach after earning a doctorate in math, was unavailable to comment on the ruling. His New York attorney, Sam P. Israel, said he had not yet spoken with his client. ••• "I'm delighted the Supreme Court has found the logic in the statute that has eluded many others," he said. "There is nothing inherent in the copyright law that makes subsequent sales after a first sale illegal." ••• The case had been closely watched in the retail industry because many products, such as watches, have copyrighted logos or labels that could have prevented their resale in the United States without permission of the copyright holder. ••• Justice Stephen G. Breyer, speaking for the majority, said the justices were wary of extending copyright protection to all manner of products, including books and artworks, that were lawfully made and sold abroad. ••• In dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called the ruling a "bold departure" from "Congress' aim to protect copyright owners against the unauthorized importation of low-priced, foreign-made copies of their copyrighted works." Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony M. Kennedy agreed with her. ••• Allen, head of the publishers group, said the Supreme Court's ruling would harm the ability of American publishers to compete in global markets. ••• "That ruling creates a disincentive for American educational publishers to continue to produce Asian editions or editions for foreign markets," Allen said. "If that disincentive takes hold, there'll be fewer American educational materials, which are the gold standard, available for students and educators around the world." ••• The entertainment industry has long relied on the more restrictive reading of the copyright law to prevent the sale of movies licensed for sale abroad from being purchased and imported to the U.S. for resale. ••• "Now those types of movies cannot be stopped," said Jonathan Kirsch, a publishing and intellectual property lawyer in Los Angeles. ••• It is unclear how the movie, music or video game industries will be affected by the high court's decision, as more entertainment content is sold digitally. • CLICK FOR MORE @/wug4.com/news#106-ResellerCopyrightRuling -- OR Click For More tviStory 106-s90- Reseller Copyright Ruling /// • 106- Hollywood Studios & The Safe Harbor Legal LoopHole: was a Winner for YouTube vs Viacom-. ••• A federal New York federal judge ruled on April 18, 2013, that: YouTube had not violated Viacom's copyright even though users of the popular online site were allowed to post unauthorized video clips from some of Viacom's most popular shows, including Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob SquarePants." ••• After winning the big YouTube vs Viacom copyright legal action between search engine Google, its video website YouTube has scored another huge victory in the long-running claims over copyright infringement brought by television giant Viacom Inc. • U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton wrote in a -- 24-page opinion dated: April 18, 2013, that YouTube was shielded from copyright infringement claims by a safe-harbor provision in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Stanton dismissed Viacom's lawsuit, and ordered Viacom to pay some of YouTube's costs. • Google's general counsel Kent Walker stated -- in a statement. "The court correctly rejected Viacom's lawsuit against YouTube, reaffirming that Congress got it right when it comes to copyright on the Internet," "This is a win not just for YouTube, but for people everywhere who depend on the Internet to exchange ideas and information." • YouTube founder Chad Hurley -- taunted Viacom Chief Executive Philippe Dauman, a longtime corporate lawyer, in a Twitter message, asking: "Hey Philippe, wanna grab a beer to celebrate?! YouTube Again Beats Viacom's Massive Copyright Infringement Lawsuit." ••• This is the second time that arguments of Viacom, which is controlled by media mogul Sumner Redstone, have been rejected. ••• Viacom filed the copyright infringement suit in 2007 and demanded that YouTube pay $1 billion in damages. The dispute erupted as established media titans, including Viacom, were struggling to cope with the disruption of digital media and trying to figure out how to rein in the unauthorized distribution of their content. ••• The case has been closely watched because media companies had hoped the courts would help enforce their copyright protections because the Internet made it so easy for people to pirate clips from their hit TV shows. • In 2010, Stanton ruled against Viacom -- in favor of YouTube in the case, and Viacom appealed. A year ago, an appeals court panel revived the case. That group of judges said the safe-harbor provision protected Internet services companies from liability if they lacked specific knowledge that a piece of infringing material existed -- or if they acted quickly to remove the material once notified. ••• The case was sent back to Stanton. Viacom argued that it was impossible to prove that YouTube had specific knowledge that certain clips were protected.. ••• But Stanton determined that the sheer volume of content uploaded onto YouTube made it impractical for the video site to know when an infringing clip appeared. The burden, the judge said, fell to Viacom to alert YouTube when unauthorized uses of its copyrighted material popped up on the site. • After the judgement, Viacom vowed to appeal once again. •••"This ruling ignores the opinions of the higher courts and completely disregards the rights of creative artists," Viacom said in a statement. "We continue to believe that a jury should weigh the facts of this case and the overwhelming evidence that YouTube willfully infringed on our rights, and we intend to appeal the decision." • FOR MORE CLICK -- wug4.com/news#106-YouTube-ViacomSafeHarbor / or • Click For More tviStory 106-s90- YouTube-ViacomSafeHarbor /// • 106- WUG reports - Privacy-WhatsAppStockpilingPhone#s •••• Regulators in the Netherlands and Canada say the popular messaging application "WhatsApp.com," . . .

Beginning Sunday, the price of first-class postage will increase from 44 cents to 45. •••• The price change, the first postage markup since 2009, was announced in October. It follows last summer's announcement that the United States Postal Service was considering shuttering thousands of post offices nationwide. •••• The price increase is intended to raise revenue for the struggling public enterprise, which faces a projected $238-billion deficit over the next decade, postal service officials have said. •••• As fewer people rely on so-called snail mail, the agency has considered not just closing post offices but also cutting Saturday mail delivery. Last month, the U.S. Postal Service proposed eliminating overnight delivery of first-class mail to help it cut $20 billion in operational costs by 2015. •••• In 2011, the postal service delivered almost 168 billion pieces of mail -- a 21% decline from 2007 -- resulting in a $5.1 billion loss in revenue, according to the postal service's financial reports. •••• U.S. Postal Service officials proposed in 2010 raising first-class mail postage by 2 cents, but that was blocked by the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent government agency charged with overseeing the postal service. • Among the other changes taking effect: •••• • The cost of mailing a postcard will increase 3 cents, to 32 cents. •••• • The cost of mailing letters to Canada and Mexico will rise 5 cents, to 85 cents. •••• • The cost of mailing a letter to other countries will rise 7 cents, to $1.05. •••• A full list of price changes can be found on the USPS website. • Click For More tviStory 106-s90- Email Vs.

Paul Ryan, had anything to say about terrorism or war while on their party's biggest stage. The only one who did was actor Clint Eastwood, who won cheers for suggesting invading Afghanistan was a mistake and calling for an immediate withdrawal of troops -- a line that might have earned boos and catcalls four years ago. •••• 79,000 troops remain in Afghanistan, but public support has eroded for the decadelong campaign there and a majority of the US population believes the country should not be involved in Afghanistan anymore. •••• The Romney strategy reflects the weakening public support for the Afghanistan war, fatigue over a decade of terrorism fears and the economy as central role in the campaign. But it was still a notable shift in tone for a party that, even in times of peace, has used the specter of war to call for greater military spending and tough foreign policy. •••• Candidates Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon criticized the handling of the Vietnam War. Bob Dole said the way to prevent conflict is to prepare for more, greater wars than a country will need to fight. Ronald Reagan warned that a weak nation would tempt the Soviet Union. •••• "Four times in my lifetime America has gone to war, bleeding the lives of its young men into the sands of beachheads, the fields of Europe and the jungles and rice paddies of Asia," Reagan said in 1980. "We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak." •••• Even President Gerald Ford, who in 1976, declared that, "not a single American is at war anywhere on the face of this Earth tonight," went on to say, "A strong military posture is always the best insurance for peace." •••• Republican strategist Tony Fratto said was it odd,, to hear a major Republican speech with no mention of the issue that has so dominated the past ten years. Fratto served as a White House spokesman and aide to the George W. Bush, whose presidency was consumed by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. •••• But with over 8 percent unemployment nationwide, Republicans see the economy as the driving issue this year. And Fratto said Romney's primary goal was to connect with voters on a personal level and redraw an out of touch characterization. •••• "If you're going to leave some things out, you're going to leave out things that aren't highest on the list of concerns of voters," Fratto said. "It's more reflective of what Americans are interested in hearing from their candidates right now." •••• Romney did briefly refer to Iran and said President Barack Obama had not done enough to prevent that country from pursuing nuclear weapons. But his only mention of war was not Iraq or Afghanistan. It was World War II, and he used it as a way to frame his life story. •••• "I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic baby boomer," Romney said. "It was a time when Americans were returning from war and eager to work." •••• None of the presidential or vice presidential candidates for either party has ever served in the military, a first in 80 years.

May-2012. Bogart heirs and Burberry are at odds over the 1942 trench coat image featured in the movie - the 1942 film "Casablanca." •••• Burberry Group and heirs of Humphrey Bogart are suing each other over an image ID of who owns what the ™ rights of the late actor wearing the 1942 Burberry trench coat in the film "Casablanca." •••• Burberry asked a federal court to declare that its use of Bogart's name and image in social media doesn't infringe Bogart Corp.'s trademark rights or rights of publicity, it stated in a complaint that was filed in May 2012 in New York.• ••• Bogart, which is majority owned by Bogart's children, answered that action by filing a trademark-infringement complaint n Los Angeles. The company seeks a court order preventing Burberry from using Bogart's name and image, and unspecified damages. ••• Buberry, the London-based fashion company said it licensed from photo agency Corbis an image of Bogart wearing the trench coat in the final scene of the 1942 film. The picture was used in a Burberry historical timeline to illustrate the influence of the brand, according to the complaint.

Concerned that mobile phone networks are becoming surveillance tools, the American Civil Liberties Union recently asked hundreds of local law enforcement agencies whether they've tracked people's movements through their cellphones. Most of those that responded said they had, usually obtaining the information from mobile phone companies without a warrant. The practice has become so routine, the ACLU found, that phone companies are sending out catalogs of monitoring services with detailed price lists to police agencies. The alarming findings should persuade Congress to clarify that the government can't follow someone electronically without showing probable cause and obtaining a warrants. USA •••The Supreme Court has long held that the 4th Amendment guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures requires police to obtain a warrant if the intrusion would violate a target's "reasonable expectation of privacy." That standard has barred law enforcement agents from surreptitiously recording what people say on the phone without a warrant, even when the conversation is taking place in a public phone booth. But the court and Congress set a significantly lower bar for monitoring other aspects of a phone's use. The government can obtain records about numbers dialed and calls received -- either from the past or live and in real time -- with a subpoena, which a court will grant if shown that the records sought are relevant to an investigation. Landlines vs WiFi towers • Mobile phone networks collect another - type of data that wire-line networks don't: They register a phone's location continuously as long as it's turned on, even when it's not in use. Those records can be exceptionally revealing; as the ACLU put it, the potential insights range "from which friends you're seeing to where you go to the doctor to how often you go to church." Nevertheless, the Justice Department and many local law enforcement agencies view location data as no different from calling records. With the acquiescence of mobile phone carriers, they've been quietly collecting this information through subpoenas, not warrants backed by a showing of probable cause. And in some cases, the subpoenas have been frighteningly broad; for example, one police department sought data on all the mobile phone users in the vicinity of a planned protests. • $$ The fact that phone companies are collecting fees -- for providing this information raises the additional question of whether their financial interests trump their customers' privacy interests. Looking for an answer, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), co-chairman of the Congressional Bipartisan Privacy Caucus, recently asked the major wireless carriers how much money they've collected from law enforcement agencies and whether they actively market their information-gathering services. •••Location data can undoubtedly help solve crimes, but there's a broader principle at stake. New technology enables people to trade information about themselves -- sometimes consciously, sometimes not -- for commercial benefits, convenience and insights into the world around them. They agree to share that information with service providers because of the unique benefits it brings -- for example, users of the Roamz app can arrive in an unfamiliar town and see what previous visitors have said online about the best places to eat and stay. But if sharing this information automatically makes it the government's for the asking, what will be left of the 4th Amendment? • A growing number of courts have been pushing back against the Justice Department's permissive approach, but the rulings haven't been uniform. Nor are there clear rules to distinguish emergencies from routine investigations, live tracking from the examination of stored data, or any of the many other complexities. Rather than trusting judges to sort it all out, Congress should make it clear that the protections that apply to phone conversations also apply to location data. No warrant, no tracking. • Click For More tviStory 106-s90- 106- TheWiTEL-ID-phoneNumber /// • 106- NBSWiTEL Bailout For Its EMW Wireless Carriers • Like a bank, we make loans. •••But unlike a bank, we're part of nbsWiTEL.com.

Decades later, when his grandson learns that it was his relative who indeed invented the wireless phone, Cory thinks he's struck gold. But his aspirations are dashed after the telephone monopolies and political pirates who initially seized Stubblefield's creation as their own are just as determined to shut out his descendant decades later, as well. •••Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of struggle, Cory is haunted by what was done to his family. He becomes a man obsessed with justice and the conviction that his grandfather's life work -- or for that matter, anyone's work -- be acknowledged by those who stood to benefit. And while paying the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity, this everyday David will try the unthinkable: to strategically bring Goliath to his knees in a cooperation with truth and justice for all. --Donna Jeffries • "You don't get to bust through the airwaves without catching a little static ••• Across the landscape of the American Industrial Revolution, within the field of urban electrification and communication, the legacy of prominent inventors such as George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell stand proud. Their achievements celebrated, their status recognized. But they do not stand alone. Concealed by the shadows of history, and even more by the deviousness of corrupt men in power, is the figure of Nathan B. Stubblefield, a contemporary of those great men and one of that era's most innovative and prolific inventors.. ••• At the time of his death in 1928, Stubblefield had been granted dozens of patents, mostly relating to electrical and wireless technologies. His inventions completely revolutionized the world of communications that we know today, yet not many people even know his name. With over 5.6 billion wireless phones in use today - there's no denying, wireless technology has irreversibly changed the world.. ••• This story will open your eyes and challenge what you think you know about not only your cell phone, but the challenges and the victories that brought these innovations to us in the first place.

The government had been increasingly worried that AT&T and the other Bell Companies were monopolizing the industry. ••• Under Theodore N. Vail from 1907 AT&T had bought Bell-associated companies and organized them into new hierarchies. AT&T had also acquired many of the independents, and bought control of Western Union, giving it a monopolistic position in both telephone and telegraph communication. A key strategy was to refuse to connect its long distance network -- technologically, by far the finest and most extensive in the land -- with local independent carriers. Without the prospect of long distance services, the market position of many independents became untenable. Vail stated that there should be "one policy, one system [AT&T's] and universal service, no collection of separate companies could give the public the service that [the] Bell... system could give." ••• AT&T's strategies prompted complaints and attracted the attention of the Justice Department. Faced with a government investigation for antitrust violations, AT&T entered into negotiations. ••• In the Kingsbury Commitment, actually a letter from AT&T Vice President Nathan Kingsbury of December 19, AT&T agreed with the Attorney General to divest itself of Western Union, to provide long distance services to independent exchanges under certain conditions and to refrain from acquisitions if the Interstate Commerce Commission objected. ••• The Commitment did not settle all the differences between independents and Bell companies and averted the federal takeover many had expected. However the Commitment played into AT&T's hands - the company was allowed to buy market-share, as long as it sold an equal number of phones. Critically, while with the Kingsbury Commitment, AT&T agreed to connect its long distance service to independent local carriers, it did not agree to interconnect its local services with other local providers. Nor did AT&T agree to any interconnection with independent long distance carriers. ••• Consequently, AT&T was able to consolidate its control over both the most profitable urban markets and long distance traffic. Between 1921 and 1934, the ICC approved 271 of the 274 purchase requests of AT&T. ••• WikiPedia notes, that the entire network was nationalized during World War I from June 1918 to July 1919. Following re-privatization, AT&T resumed its near-monopoly position. In 1934, the government acted to set AT&T up as a regulated monopoly under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission. This was maintained until AT&T's divestiture in 1984. • CLICK FOR MORE 102-S90 STORY /// • 106 Patent Infringement - DishVsTiVo Dish lawsuit against TiVo is reopened••• •••Dish Network Corp., the satellite-television provider formerly known as EchoStar Communications Corp., won a ruling in Texas that reopens a 2005 patent-infringement lawsuit filed against TiVo Inc.••• •••The suit as been on hold for four years while the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office re-examined, at TiVo's request, whether three EchoStar inventions related to digital video recorders should have received patents. • CLICK FOR MORE TiVO 106-s90 STORY /// • 106 Trademark Violation - FerrariVsFord Ford sues Ferrari over tradmark••• •••Ford Motor co. has sued Ferrarii in Detrot federal court, saying the sports car maker has violated its trademark over the pickup trucdk name F-150.••• •••The suit is based on Ferrari's naming of its new formula 1 racing car the "F150," and its creating of the website www.ferrarif150.com••• •••Ferrari's site says "F150" marks the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. • CLICK FOR MORE F-150TM 106-s90 STORY /// • 106 VoIP sues Google over 'stealing' of trade secrets ••• VoIP Inc., sued Google Inc., alleging misappropriation of trade secrets involving patented "click to call" technology. ••• ••• In late 2006 Google introduced "click to call" which enables a person to place a telephone call over the Internet by clicking on a link, according to the complaint filed I in the New York Supreme Court. ••• In September 2005, Los Angeles-based VoIP unit VoiceOne Communications agreed to provide "click to call" technology to Google, VoIP said. ••• In January 2007, Google said it was terminating the agreement, citing a purported unauthorized disclosure that identified Google as a VoiceOne Customer, according to the lawsuit. • A similar suit brought in July 2009 in Los Angeles Superior Court was dismissed without prejudice within five months. ••• ••• This isn't the first communications-related suit brought against the search engine company, says the NBS Wireless Telephone Org.

Media industry executives view Viacom's copyright infringement lawsuit, filed three years ago, as an important case to establish ground rules to protect the digital distribution of copyrighted material. ••• - Viacom, which owns movie studio Paramount Pictures and popular cable TV channels including MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, worries that its businesses would suffer if Internet sites have little incentive to safeguard against the use of other companies' copyrighted content. ••• - Viacom maintained that, if allowed to stand, the district court ruling would "severely impair, if not completely destroy, the value of many copyrighted creations." ••• - The media company had demanded more than $1 billion in damages. But U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton of the Southern District of New York ruled against Viacom in June, determining that YouTube operated within a "safe harbor" provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act because it promptly removed pirated videos after being notified of a violation. ••• - At the time, Internet advocates hailed Stanton's ruling as an affirmation of free expression and the growth of the Internet. Viacom wanted to enforce a system in which YouTube and other video websites would have to determine who owned the rights to material before it was posted. ••• - Viacom believes Stanton misinterpreted the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and it provided internal YouTube e-mails to illustrate that YouTube's founders were aware of the rampant piracy. The media company alleged that YouTube allowed clips to be posted from "The Daily Show," "MTV Cribs," "South Park" and other professionally produced shows to help build interest in the site. ••• - Viacom offered several e-mails as examples of YouTube's practices, including one in which a YouTube founder instructed colleagues to "Concentrate all of our efforts in building up our numbers as aggressively as we can through whatever tactics, however evil." Current owner Google Inc. has said it has taken steps to monitor the site and initiated a content identification system to more effectively ferret out copyrighted works. ••• - "We regret that Viacom continues to drag out this case," Google said in a statement. "The court here, like every other court to have considered the issue, correctly ruled that the law protects online services like YouTube, which remove content when notified by the copyright holder that it is unauthorized. We will strongly defend the court's decision on appeal." ••• - Google has said it has spent $100 million to defend against the suit. Viacom recently hired former U.S. Solicitor Gen. Ted Olson to help guide its appeal. • CLICK FOR MORE Viacom Appeals - tvinews+106+ • CLICK FOR MORE Viacom LEGAL ACTIONS • CLICK FOR MORE LEGAL ACTIONS -- • 106TheEye4EyeVsMicrosoftcase • In The so-called Eye4Eye law suit against Microsoft, i4i Wins $300 million in damages from Microsoft. • • • • Is the USPTO issuing Patents that have not been tested as a reality? or maybe . . the USPTO is there to issue Patents to anyone for any unknown reason? or as Apple explains it, is the USPTO issuing Patents that are not valid? • • • • The U.S. Supreme Court will consider making some patens more vulnerable, (like i4i - "eye4eye" vs Microsoft) -- to legal challenge, by agreeing to hear Microsoft Corp.'s appeal like in the "i4i" case that forced changes in ("Microsoft's") -- Word software which may cost Microsoft -- $300 million in damages to "i4i." • • "Microsoft is fighting the $300-Million+ verdict won by the closely held "i4i" Canadian Company -- "with vigor," says the Federal appeals court, in Tyler, Texas.

U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton in New York ON Jun 24, 2010. As U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton in New York explained, Congress recognized that the Internet couldn't function if broadband providers, search engines and hosting services were held liable for every unauthorized copy made on their networks. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 protected those companies from liability as long as they acted quickly to remove any infringing material identified by copyright holders. ••• Viacom argued that YouTube didn't qualify for this protection because infringements were common and central to the company's fortunes. Echoing earlier rulings, however, Judge Stanton held that the law doesn't require YouTube to police its network for bootlegged videos. Instead, it only has to remove the items singled out by copyright holders. That's sensible -- copyright owners are far better positioned to know whether a clip was used legally or not. In fact, many of the clips cited in the original lawsuit weren't infringing. At least 100 had been posted by marketers employed by Viacom. ••• Google Inc.'s YouTube didn't violate Viacom Inc. copyrights when content including clips from its MTV and Comedy Central cable television channels were posted on the video-sharing website, the judge ruled. ••• Judge Stanton in New York said YouTube wasn't liable for infringement. Viacom, controlled by Sumner Redstone, had sought at least $1 billion in damages, according to a revised complaint filed in April 2008. ••• Stanton agreed with YouTube that it was protected by the safe-harbor provision of the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which says a service provider isn't liable for infringement if it removes material from its site when notified by the copyright owner. ••• "The provider must know of the particular case before he can control it," Stanton said in the ruling. "The provider need not monitor or seek out facts indicating such activity." ••• More than 24 hours worth of video is uploaded to the YouTube site every minute, the judge said. YouTube had a policy of removing infringing content from its site and banning users after three such offenses, according to the ruling. •• •In the past Hollywood Entertainment producers, and their Associations have asked the courts repeatedly for help in coping with online piracy, but the results have been decidedly mixed. •• • Although judges have come down hard on numerous file-sharing networks and search engines that specialize in bootlegs, they've ruled in favor of several websites whose content is generated by users, even if it wasn't authorized by the copyright holders. •• • The latest may be the most significant: Judge Stanton dismissed Viacom allegations that Google's YouTube had built its business by turning a blind eye to widespread copyright infringements. •• Both companies asked Judge Stanton in March to decide the case in their favor without a trial. Viacom said YouTube benefited financially by allowing users to post and share programs including "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "South Park" on its website without authorization. The ruling, which Viacom plans to appeal, reaffirmed the crucial principle that online companies should be held responsible for what they do, not what others do with their services. (Source: Bloomberg.

The Turf War between Congress, Cable, Radio-TV, WiTEL®™© and the FCC is explained at NAB-Las Vegas. Chairman Julius Genachowski tries to ease NBA members fears about giving up airwaves to NBS WiTEL®™© and Cable operators. •• • The CEO of NBS WiTEL®™©, Troy Cory-Stubblefield found serious problems with the FCC at least five years ago before the 2006-2008 Auction sales to place to AT&T, Verizon, and other Telecoms. The warning showed little concern - the the problems of selling Spectrums without identifying them with WiTEL®™© phone numbers to identify each phone assigned a WiTEL®™© phone number. •• • The lack of action, exacerbated by a turf battle between agencies, allowed the shoddy Financing of the Auction sales practives and risky bets based on prior Radio-TV - Wireless Telephone®™© rules of law since 1908, continued until just months before the Obama adminstration come into being. •• • FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski called the So-called retransmission consent disputes took place in 1990, and have been a regular occurrence in the industry since Congress passed a law almost 20 years ago allowing broadcasters to seek financial compensation from cable operators in return for carrying their signals. The tiffs have grown uglier lately as broadcasters have become more aggressive in seeking fee hikes. •• • Genachowski said that the marketplace was the preferred method to resolve these issues, but that at the same time he was not too pleased with "sudden program interruptions" and the potential for bigger cable bills. "Some ask, Is 'free TV' really free when cable rates go up because of retransmission fees?" he said. •• • Time Warner Cable Inc. and other distributors have asked the FCC to revisit the retransmission consent rules, and the agency is soliciting comments on the topic. •• • Genachowski, whose request for spectrum was compared by NAB President Gordon Smith to "The Godfather's" Vito Corleone making people offers they can't refuse, joked about the comment when he took the stage in Las Vegas. "All the good restaurants have been offering to comp me." • Battles over Carriage, and WiTEL®™© Phone Number fees between broadcasters cable operators, and invioces from WiTEL®™©. •• • Speaking candedly to those NBA broadcasters that the FCC was going to seize spectrums from existing broadcaters to sell them to other telecommunications companies was a myth. The goal of the FCC's broadband plan, he said, is not to "confiscate broadcasters' spectrum and drive broadcasters out of business." •• • As part of the FCC's broadband plan, which was presented to Congress last month, the agency has said it would like broadcasters to voluntarily return 120 megahertz of spectrum, or airwaves, allocated to TV stations to allow for quicker mobile phones and improved broadband service. Broadcasters do not want to give up their spectrum and say they want to offer their own mobile services, which could provide a new revenue stream to prop up the local TV business hurt by a loss of advertising to the Internet. •• • Although Genachowski tried to assuage fears that the FCC would force broadcasters to cough up spectrum, he said the situation could become dire. •• • "We're at serious risk as a country in not moving quickly enough on our technology infrastructure and in other areas to remain the world's leader in innovation." •• • This is not "theory or idle speculation," he added. "It's math and physics." •• • Spectrum wasn't the only issue of concern that Genachowski broached. He also talked about recent fights between cable operators and broadcasters over fees that in some cases have led to cable customers losing access to local TV channels.

Servicemark advisor, Mark Anderson, of PSI -- pointed out "How Easy a trademark name can be utilized by a simple license agreement." ••• Fujitsu was approved for a trademark on the iPad name for use in hand-held computing devices. The name was assigned to Apple by Fujitsu, records made public Friday show. ••• Owning the trademark on the iPad name allows Apple to forbid others from using it without its permission and eliminates the possbility of a legal battle over the name between Apple ana Fujitsu, which first sought the ttrademar in 2003. ••• Bloomberg reported that it was time to "Tip your hat to Apple today as it has succeeded at obtaining full rights to the iPad trademark from Fujitsu. The trademark was previously owned by Fujitsu who developed and sold a handheld scanner with the name 'iPad" in 2002; the mobile device was used by retailers to track inventory, check prices, and complete sales away from a stationary sales terminal. Fujitsu applied for the "iPad" trademark in 2003 and it remained in limbo until April 2009 when it fell into "abandoned" status. Fujitsu re-opened the trademark application and the USPTO published it for public review and comment in September 2009. This newly re-opened trademark caught Apple's attention and the Cupertino company went on the offensive by objecting to Fujitsu's application and filing its own trademark application for the term iPad." ••• Over the course of the past few months, Apple and Fujitsu have waged a minor shouting war over the trademark with Fujitsu claiming ownership and Apple objecting. With the Apple iPad slated to launch on April 3rd, solving the issue surrounding the iPad name  became imperative for Apple. Though the details are unknown, Apple and Fujitsu have worked out a last minute agreement as a document uncovered by PatentAuthority.com reveals that Fujitsu re-assigned the iPad trademark in its entirety to Apple. The transfer was completed and the trademark was assigned to Apple on March 17th, approximately two weeks before the April 3rd launch date. ••• What transpired must have happened behind tightly closed doors as nary a word of this agreement has been made public until now. Though we don't know with certainty, we can only presume that it involved the transfer of a large lump sum of cash from Apple to Fujitsu in return for the rights to the name iPad. Now with the ownership of the iPad trademark clearly in its possession, Apple can relax comfortably and release the highly anticipated tablet device on April 3rd without any legal form of reprisal from Fujitsu. • 106 - Apple vs. Taiwan - Apple Sues Taiwan smart-phone maker for Service Mark infringement. ••• Everyone knows when the Wireless Telephone®™© Service Marks were first introduced to the world in 1902," says WiTEL©™© spokesman, Mark Anderson.

Julius Genachowski, the new FCC chairman is right to want new rules that would keep service providers from limiting selected data traveling through their networks. •• •The FCC took a tentative stab at the issue in 2004, when then-Chairman Michael Powell announced four crucial (4 Freebies) "Internet Freedoms": the ability of Internet users to access any legal content, software or services online, and to connect to the Net through any compatible device. Genachowski laid out two more: Broadband providers should not discriminate against particular websites or applications, nor conceal how they manage data. He also said that the commission should translate these principles into formal rules rather than leaving them in legal limbo. •• •Lobbyists for phone and cable TV companies argue that there's little evidence of ISPs playing unfairly or violating Powell's four freedoms. Yet when the FCC moved to stop Comcast from surreptitiously interfering with a legal file-sharing application last year, Comcast sued, claiming the commission had no power to enforce the principles. It's paradoxical that the government should have to regulate the Internet to preserve its unregulated essence. But with so little competition in broadband service, the major phone and cable companies have the power and the incentive to stop worthy but disruptive innovations in the name of "managing congestion." The FCC should set clear rules that enable ISPs to keep data flowing from all legal services and applications, not just favored ones. • CLICK FOR MORE STORY • 113.09iiNetNeutralityRule /// • • 101CTIA-reported that WiTel Mobile phone usage keeps growing •• • Americans used more than 1.1 trillion minutes in the last half of 2009, an increase of 38 billion from the same period in 2008. •• • U.S. mobile phone users are talking, texting and surfing the Web more than ever, according to new data from a wireless industry trade group. •• • CTIA's latest semiannual industry survey by CTIA -- the Wireless Assn. showed that in the last half of 2009, consumers used more than 1.1 trillion minutes, up 38 billion from the same period in 2008. •• • Consumers sent almost 5 billion text messages per day in the last half of 2009. •• • The group did not offer a comparable figure for text messaging from 2008, but it did say that the number of multimedia messages -- those that contain a picture or video -- more than doubled year over year. • As for • 106Google, and its China problem will it eventually wear off? • • Google reported -- that it would delay rolling out in China mobile applications that run on Android phones after its Chinese partners came under government pressure to pull out of deals with Google. •• • Access to Google's Hong Kong search site has been spotty.
