There has been some talks about 'Rethinking Copyright laws'. One of the most commented was that of TC editor Michael Arrington - which agrees with rethinking copyright laws . Another one, which disagrees with Michael is another interesting read. Keen: "Arrington’s position certainly threatens our culture."

Josh:

The service seems to be available only in Finnish. Here’s the link though:
[url]http://saunalahti.fi/internet/saunavisio/[/url]

And my bad, they actually boast of a 5 terabyte recording capacity

We’ll see what happens when it becomes so popular that the networks start taking interest.

Btw, I’m not affiliated with the service, so don’t take this as spam

Unfortunately, Redlasso hasn’t actually gotten the rights to any of this content. They claim that the clips embedded by bloggers fall under fair use, which is debatable. But they still have to answer for the thousands of television programs that are sitting on their servers for bloggers to browse through – something that is clearly a violation of copyright law.

Thanks Fred for the tip! Redlasso is quite buggy on Firefox, so I’ll give your site a go.

I would like to point out that a viable model for obtaining free, licensed, news, sports and entertainment content already exists at http://www.thenewsroom.com. Users may embed fully licensed news and information from more than 300 content sources as well as share in the advertising revenue. The Voxant Newsroom network currently consists of about 30,000 specialty websites and blogs.

We have been averaging more than 11 million unique visitors over the past 4 months, with more than 30 million video streams each month. These are not internal numbers, they are reported publically by the Internet audience measurement firm, comScore. Voxant has developed a viable economic model to distribute high-quality, professionally produced content to millions of viewers each month. In closing, Voxant has always believed that copyrights matter. We recognize that Web publishers, advertisers and content providers have everything to win from respecting licensing agreements.

Interesting service. There is also an interesting copyright -related dilemma going on in Finland. There’s a company selling a service of a “online digital receiver with a 1000GB hard drive”. Of course the fact is that they are recording everything the TV channels are relaying and basically selling it to people as a “digital receiver” and thus avoiding paying copyright royalties for each individual tv-show.

This should lead to some law suits in the near future.
