eBay, Facebook, Yahoo, and Ask.com owner IAC/Interactive may compete with Google for users, views and ad clicks, but the four know which side their bread is buttered on when it comes to digital copyright law. That’s why they’ve rushed to Google’s side this week to defend their rival in a massive copyright infringement lawsuit launched by Viacom.
Viacom’s interpretation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) “would slow development of the Internet by making the hosting of user generated content an activity fraught with legal peril,” eBay et al warned the court hearing the case in an amici brief. “The threat of ruinous liability would mean that other companies and services might never get off the ground in the first place.”

Apple is involved in some curious patent cases filed this week in Texas federal district courts. One suit claims that Apple’s iTunes Store (among many others) infringes on a patent for what is essentially an online store for music downloads. Another lawsuit claims that Safari, DVD Player, Front Row, and even Mac OS X itself infringe on a number of patents related to adjustable length displays of textual and other data.

The US District Court of California denied adult entertainment company Perfect 10’s request for an injunction against file-sharing service RapidShare on Thursday, saying that the company did not offer sufficient proof that RapidShare itself had infringed on Perfect 10’s copyrights.
Perfect 10 filed its lawsuit against RapidShare in late 2009, alleging that the Germany-based service illegally hosted the company’s images for its members to distribute and download. Since P10 is a for-pay service, it argued that RapidShare was violating its distribution rights and making money off of its stolen content due to RapidShare’s affiliate program that pays members for referring new users.
