Recent Digital Media Cases of Note

A couple of cases I thought you mind fight interesting:

1) First, a case dealing with copyright exhaustion in the digital media context, distinguishing a recent USSC case that dealt with copyright exhaustion as it applies to conventional media: http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/no-you-cant-re-sell-digital-music-online-judge-tells-1C9145353

2) Second, a 2nd Circuit case allowing users to make private retransmissions of TV content: http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/1/4170312/aereo-wins-major-court-battle-against-tv-networks

  1. Jon Festinger, Q.C.

    The Aereo Court of Appeal case seems quite user rights oriented and thus (IMHO) going with the current flow/meme. The lower court decision in Redigi not so much. Betting there will be appeals in both.
