Re: [Wikimedia-l] Where is WMF with pursuing companies that offer paid editing services
We regularly take action against websites offering Wikipedia paid editing services when they use the Wikipedia puzzle globe or other Wikimedia trademarks <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_trademarks>[1] in a way that could suggest to visitors that their services are offered or sanctioned by Wikipedia. We receive reports of potential trademark infringement, primarily through the trademark abuse form <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contact/licenseabuse>[2] and emails to legal-tm-...@wikimedia.org. We evaluate each report and take action as appropriate. If it is a case of parody or nominative use <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_policy#policy-nominativeuse>[3], we may send an email asking them to include a notice that they are unaffiliated with Wikipedia and, if, necessary, to include proper Creative Commons attribution. If it is a case of actual infringement that could confuse the public, we contact them to ask that they remove the marks from their websites. In our cease-and-desist messages to paid editing websites, we remind them of the terms of use disclosure requirements. In some cases of trademark infringement, we can also file complaints under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Domain-Name_Dispute-Resolution_Policy>[4] seeking to cancel or claim their domain name registrations.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Music industry threats to safe harbor?
Throughout 2016, the US Copyright Office has been collecting input on the DMCA safe harbors. WMF has submitted written comments to the Copyright Office <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/04/06/save-safe-harbors-open-web/>[1] and participated in in-person discussions <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/06/16/copyright-law/>[2] on this issue.

[Wikimedia-l] Invitation to IRC office hour on copyright strategy
Hi all, You may have seen my email earlier this week announcing the copyright strategy—a new effort to improve how we identify, prioritize, and address copyright issues throughout the Wikimedia movement. (I’ve copied it below, in case you missed it.) As part of getting feedback on the strategy and communicating its vision, goals, and process, the Wikimedia Foundation legal team will be holding an office hour on IRC: *Thursday, September 15, 2016. 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT).* Please stop by #wikimedia-office at that time to discuss the copyright strategy and ask any questions you have about it. There are instructions for participating on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours We have timed the office hour to correspond with when we expect to shift our focus from meta-discussion about the strategy to following the strategy and addressing individual copyright issues. In the meantime, please take a look at the copyright strategy itself, and feel free to provide feedback on the talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_strategy Best, Charles > Hi all, We on the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Team have been working on creating a > better and more collaborative process for organizing, streamlining, and > completing Wikimedia’s copyright-related work.
