New Media Alliance Strikes Out at Content Providers Over Copyright

The Computer and Communications Industry Association (members include Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) has accused content providers such as the National Football League, Major League Baseball, Harcourt, Penguin, Dreamworks, and NBC of “systematic misrepresentation of consumers’ rights to use legally acquired content.” The complaint to the Federal Trade Commission seeks better copyright notices that more accurately depict the rights of consumers with regard to fair use.
