Submission + - Veoh Networks Beats UMG Recordings in DMCA Case (blogspot.com) 1

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "In a California case invoking the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, UMG Recordings' Motion for summary judgment has been denied. In a 16-page single spaced decision (PDF), District Judge A. Howard Matz rejected UMG's arguments that Veoh was not entitled to DMCA 'safe harbor' protection based on the nature of the software functions being employed. This follows by several months Veoh's earlier victory against an 'adult' filmmaker, also on DMCA grounds."

Submission + - Vietnam using more OpenOffice, Mozilla, Linux (vietnamnet.vn)

christian.einfeldt writes: "The Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications has issued an administrative ruling increasing the use of Free Open Source Software products at state agencies, increasing the software's use both in the back office and on the desktop. According to the new rule, 100% of government servers must run Linux by June 30, 2009, and 70% of agencies must use OpenOffice.org, Mozilla Firefox, and Mozilla Thunderbird by the end of 2009. The regulation also sets benchmarks for training and proficiency in the software. Vietnam has a population of 86 million, 4 million larger than that of Germany, and is one of the world's fastest-growing economies."
