The Death of Fair Use in Cyberspace: YouTube and the Problem With Content ID
YouTube has grown exponentially over the past several years. With that growth came unprecedented levels of copyright infringement by uploaders on the site, forcing YouTubeâs parent company, Google Inc., to introduce a new technology known as Content ID. This tool allows YouTube to automatically scan and identify potential cases of copyright infringement on an unparalleled scale. However, Content ID is overbroad in its identification of copyright infringement, often singling out legitimate uses of content. Every potential case of copyright infringement identified by Content ID triggers an automatic copyright claim on behalf of the copyright holder on YouTube and subsequently freezes all revenue streams, for all parties, regardless of the legitimacy of the underlying claim. Using the plight of one video game reviewer known as âAngry Joeâ as a paradigmatic example of the problems that Content ID can create, this Issue Brief argues that in its present form, Content ID has had disastrous consequences for the doctrine of fair use, YouTube itself, and ultimately, the very spirit of copyright law. By shifting the neutral presumption accompanied with fair use against the uploader, Content ID effectively overrides judicial precedent

SAMP, the Simple Application Messaging Protocol: Letting applications talk to each other
SAMP, the Simple Application Messaging Protocol, is a hub-based communication
standard for the exchange of data and control between participating client
applications. It has been developed within the context of the Virtual
Observatory with the aim of enabling specialised data analysis tools to
cooperate as a loosely integrated suite, and is now in use by many and varied
desktop and web-based applications dealing with astronomical data. This paper
reviews the requirements and design principles that led to SAMP's
specification, provides a high-level description of the protocol, and discusses
some of its common and possible future usage patterns, with particular
attention to those factors that have aided its success in practice.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for Virtual Observatory special issue
