Copyright Protection Evolves

IMHO, best round up of copyright changes in 2014.

Fair Use expands... more power to libraries, and to Google. Privacy is eroded, more power to Google.

Some of us remember - who? Wyden and the "Open" scheme? - that the litigant with the biggest money bags always wins, and plaintiffs of modest means have no chance of prevailing when their copyrights are infringed if a) the government or b) Big Tech or c) someone rich...  is involved.

Happy New Year!
