The DMCA has been used, Lexmark fashion, to secure a preliminary injunction "against a third party service vendor who tried to fix StorageTek tape library backup systems for legitimate purchasers of the system." Further evidence of unintended effect of killing after sales spares/service competition.

The NYT had a feature over the weekend about a film producer who is making a documentary critical of Fox News and the potential copyright issues he might run into when using the company's news clips. The film is called "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"

" The film is an obsessively researched expose of the ways in which Fox News, as Greenwald sees it, distorts its coverage to serve the conservative political agenda of its owner, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. It features interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos written by Fox executives and extensive footage from Fox News, which Greenwald is using without the network's permission."
