With the help of Chilling Effects’s terrific new research associate, Rebecca Schoff, we’ve been updating the “Weather Reports” blog to provide timely updates on the climate for free expression online. Recent posts check in with the wild west of fair use, Veoh’s DMCA safe-harbor victory and some bites at the Apple. Add Chill weather RSS or follow @chillingeffects on twitter or identi.ca.
We’re also working behind the scenes to get takedown notices posted more quickly. In conjunction with Blogger, we’ve been working to help Bloggers get better information about DMCA notices demanding removal of material from their blogs, so they can determine whether to remove or edit the posts, or to counter-notify instead.
