Well, the crush is over for the moment.

FatWallet is being told that price lists are copyrighted, and protected under the DMCA? Time to start commenting!

And Microsoft tells us to "beware the dark net&quot

(4 items listed below)

• The Register reports that FatWallet, a site where people pass around price information, has been ordered to cease and desist in their copyright infringement under the DMCA. The LawMeme article points to other reports on Slashdot and elsewhere. The Boing Boing lnk - and there’s a New York Times article, too

• Time to refine your comments on the DMCA and submit them. A solicitation for a new round of comments focusing on the anti-circumvention provisions is underway. Donna gives a good rundown at Copyfight

• The Register also has an article arguing that the RIAA is behind the recent split in the webcasting community over the current royalty structure.

• Cory Doctorow points to the Microsoft "Dark Net" paper presented at the recent ACM digital rights management conference - a Palladium push wrapped up in a very striking discussion of content delivery in the digital age.
