In the new issue of Mindjack:

feature:
"The killing fields": Copyright Law and its Challengers
by J.D. Lasica

"For years, all was peaceful in the house of Horowitz. Jed Horowitz, a
53-year-old New Jersey entrepreneur with sharply chiseled features and
gleaming bald head, had been running a small video operation called Video
Pipeline that took Hollywood films, created two-minute trailers to help
promote them, and distributed them to online retailers such as Netflix,
BestBuy, and Barnes and Noble, as well as public libraries. Then one day in
2000, the Walt Disney Co. sent a cease-and-desist order, charging that
Horowitz's company was violating Disney's copyright by featuring portions of
their movies online."
