It has happened again. This is the third person under the age of 20 we’ve blogged about where a large corporation sues or demands payment for trademark/copyright infringement. First, we blogged about the North Face/South Butt dispute. Then the McDonalds/McFest dispute. And now, it’s Charlie Chaplin and the Bourne Music Co.
Ten-year-old Bethany Hare dressed up like the legendary comic to star in her own video tribute. Bethany used her own savings, made from playing an extra in a play, to pay for the film. . . .
It brought in £1,800 for the charity but copyright owner Marco Berrocal, of New York-based Bourne Music Publishers, emailed her parents demanding money for use of the song.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement rolls on. Negotiators have just wrapped up another round of talks this week in Lucerne, Switzerland, and more than two years into the ACTA process, have actually started to meet with civil society groups to talk about the actual ACTA draft text. (Many governments have previously asked for comments on ACTA, but before releasing the full text.)
“On the first day of the negotiations, in the interest of transparency, the Swiss Government hosted meetings at which ACTA negotiators met with representatives of civil society who have expressed an interest in ACTA to exchange views,” says the official announcement.

Canada’s long-awaited copyright modernization bill appeared today. If passed, it would explicitly legalize DVRs, YouTube mashups, backups, and parodies—and it would slap strong, US-style restrictions on bypassing DRM.
Forget fair dealing; as in the US, digital locks trump all.
