5 Years In the past<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in 2018, Germany\u2019s new hate speech legislation was straight out the gates with two incidents<\/a> of collateral damage<\/a>. Trump was complaining in regards to the US\u2019s \u201cvery weak\u201d libel laws<\/a>, maybe as a result of Steve Bannon\u2019s writer was very unimpressed with Trump\u2019s defamation threats<\/a>. In the meantime, Dennis Prager was looking for an injunction against YouTube<\/a> and Chuck Johnson was copying Prager\u2019s lawsuit however directing it at Twitter<\/a>. We additionally noticed the beginnings of an uphill effort to restore net neutrality<\/a>, whereas Nebraska turned the primary \u201cpink\u201d state to craft its own net neutrality law<\/a>, and Google and Fb ended their absence from the combat by funding net neutrality lawsuits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ten Years In the past<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in 2013, we revealed an interview with Derek Khanna, creator of the controversial RSC copyright policy briefing<\/a>. Main labels had been getting again to their crusade against lipdubs on Vimeo<\/a>, Malibu Media was fighting with Comcast<\/a>, and Prenda legislation was making an attempt out a sad new legal strategy<\/a>. TorrentFreak was sussing out the main points of the voluntary \u201csix strikes\u201d plan<\/a> that ISPs had been getting ready to implement, Australia was dealing with trade pushback in its efforts to update copyright for the digital economy<\/a>, and Senator Ron Wyden laid out a broad web freedom agenda to counter the demands of legacy players and copyright maximalists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fifteen Years In the past<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in 2008, some members of the Movement Image Academy had been getting aggravated about the best way the MPAA\u2019s screener policies treat them like criminals<\/a> (since, you recognize, all DRM ever actually does is punish legitimate users<\/a>). The UK\u2019s proposed copyright reform was more of the same old stuff<\/a>, Prince took down another video with his music in the background<\/a>, and Hasbro sued the runaway hit app Scrabulous for being too similar to Scrabble, of course<\/a>. In the meantime, the FCC was on the point of investigate Comcast for traffic shaping<\/a>, simply as Congress was on the point of investigate the FCC\u2019s practices for favoritism<\/a>.<\/p>\n
