BEA Bonus: Searching for Principles: Online Services and Intellectual Property
This bonus podcast is made possible by the Association of American Publishers and contains coverage from their General Annual Meeting, which was held March 6, 2007.
In this episode, Thomas C. Rubin, Associate General Counsel of Microsoft Corporation, talks about how recent copyright infringement lawsuits have raised concerns that some companies’ online services and business models systematically infringe the rights of publishers, authors and other content owners. Rubin also describes the ways Microsoft and other online companies are treating this situation, and what it means to the industry.
