Guest: Michael Arrington

• It was Michael Arrington who posted the then completely unsubstantiated, ultimately completely true rumor that Google was about to acquire YouTube.
• Leo and John on TWiT had what turned out to be a pretty humorous reaction to the Wall Street Journal’s reliance on Michael, “a blogger,” as a source for its coverage.
• EFF’s Fred von Lohmann provided Denise’s favorite analysis of the copyright ramifications of the YouTube acquisition, in an interview with John Battelle. (Further terrific insights on this front came after we recorded the show, from Columbia law professor Tim Wu.)
• There is ongoing and often heated discussion and debate about whether and under what circumstances the mere act of publishing an RSS feed implies a license to use and/or redistribute the included material.
• RSS is being used in ways you might not have thought about. Lots of them. (If you find this fascinating, you’ll love Steve Rubel’s entire RSS post category.)
• Politicians and others would do well to remember that C-SPAN’s feeds, audio, and video are only licensed for personal, noncommercial use.
• Angsuman Chakraborty created a WordPress plugin for including copyright information in a feed.
• The failure of lawyer advertising rules to keep pace with online realities may chill lawyer blogging, even though blawgs frequently are more about speech and information sharing than advertising.
• Robert Scoble’s link to some Crazy Frogs had us in stitches. (Er, make that Maryam’s and Gia’s link.)
