Very interesting website about digital copyright and related issues. This site also covers the recent controversial Paramount crackdown on intellectual rights for the Star Trek franchise. There have been several recent cases where Paramount has come into a science fiction conventions with Federal Marshals and seized any and all unlicensed Star Trek paraphernalia as well as demanding that fan sites be removed from the internet if they contained copyrighted images, sounds and text.
This is in stark contrast to the produces of Babylon 5 who freely give "fan site kits" to fans to create B5 websites. Here is a blurb from the website: The website offers background material and explanations of the law for people whose websites deal with topics such as Fan Fiction, Copyright, Domain Names and Trademarks, Anonymous Speech, and Defamation. http://chillingeffects.org/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
