The Constitution empowers Congress to enact federal copyright laws because the Founders recognized that the best way to advance the public interest is by enabling creators to pursue their own private interests. The copyright system secures uniform property rights to creators across the nation as a reward for their productive labors and as incentive for them to profit in the marketplace.

I received a DMCA notice for my wooden puzzle blog! It was a review of Unidragon's Alluring Fox (332 pieces). Google did not, interestingly enough, actually provide the notice, so I don't yet know whether this was overenforcement by Unidragon (which has a counterfeiting problem by makers of cheap knockoff puzzles) or something even more bizarre. Google instead directs me to Lumen to look up the notice, but Lumen doesn't seem to have posted it yet, so that's a tad frustrating.

Some players in the pirate IPTV market view subscription sales as little more than a side hustle, one that brings in a few dollars here, and a few dollars there. No big deal. That may well be the case but elsewhere in the chain, people are making serious money. Bill Omar Carrasquillo, aka Omi in a Hellcat, openly admits that he made multiple tens of millions from his service, Gears TV.

Software is complex, which makes threats to the software supply chain more real every day. 64% of organizations have been impacted by a software supply chain attack and 60% of data breaches are due to unpatched software vulnerabilities. In the U.S. alone, cyber losses totaled $10.3 billion in 2022. All of these stats beg the question, “Do you know what’s in your software?

Ever tried searching for medical papers using a standard search engine? Happy with results you get? Probably not. There are serious limitations to using keyword search in the pharmaceutical industry. Imagine you were looking for papers featuring the enzyme type ‘GSK’. Using a generic search engine, you would get articles that mentioned ‘glycogen synthase kinase’, as well as articles about the company ‘GlaxoSmithKline’ – which is not particularly relevant to your search here.

In this post I would like to talk about two other plants that we visited as part of the Van of Nerds in France. One is a railway repair and maintenance plant by SNCF, and the other is a body shop and final assembly by the well-known French car maker Renault. Both offered interesting insights. Read more.

A commenter notes in email that Google is really supposed to give me a copy of the DMCA notice, which it has not, but Lumen at least updated and was able to confirm that the sender was Rusard Ltd. and making a claim on behalf of Unidragon. If Google sent me the notice, I could try to contact the sender, but Lumen (understandably) redacts that information.

Amid the end-of-year deal closings, trademark applications, and other adventures in the practice of law, I wanted to close out the final entry of the OG+S blog for 2022 with a few lessons I learned from this year of work—forged from a mix of successes and hard-earned moments for growth.

Music is an artistic work which falls into the purview of copyright protection. Nowadays, music lovers can easily stream music. Even restaurants, bars and lounges play music to entertain guests, either through hiring DJs or by playing music through sound systems. However, if such streaming of copyrighted music is done without obtaining license from the copyright holder, then it amounts to copyright infringement.

Brand licensing agreements are essential for companies that want to create a successful, long-term business strategy.
