This edition of the InternetCases.com Podcast deals with the technological and legal issues relating to the recent phenomenon known as “RSS hijacking” or “podjacking.” I talked with Rick Klau, Vice President of Business Development of Feedburner about what RSS hijacking is, and what can be done about it. I then talked with Chicago attorney Kevin Thompson, who has written about RSS feed hijacking on his weblog Cyberlaw Central, and asked him to comment on the possible legal causes of action a victim of RSS hijacking might have in a potential lawsuit.

Listen:
MP3

This edition of the InternetCases.com Podcast is the audio from a panel discussion held on November 29, 2005 at the John Marshall Law School on the issues surrounding Google Book Search (f/k/a Google Print).

Professor Doris Long moderated the discussion. The first panelist to speak was professor Leslie Reis, who addressed various business issues pertaining to the Google Book Search model. Todd Flaming, a practicing attorney and adjunct professor at John Marshall spoke next on the technology behind the project. I spoke next on the legal issues in the cases filed by the Authors Guild and the American Association of Publishers, focusing mainly on the fair use factors of copyright law. After me was professor David Sorkin, who compared the nature of indexing pages in Google Book Search with the process of indexing regular web pages. The final speaker was Tom Keefe, a reference librarian at the John Marshall Law School library, who gave a librarian’s perspective on how Google Book Search could affect the future of research.
