"And by the way, a few months ago, I trademarked the word `funny 4 on the bestseller list of Amazon ' So when Fox calls me `unfunny,' they're violating my trademark Franken also thanked Fox "for all the publicity It also asks for unspecified damages " Franken Makes Light of Fox Slogan Lawsuit Aug 13, 7:49 AM EST Al Franken, the humorist being sued by Fox News Channel for use of the phrase "fair and balanced," doesn't mind the legal action, but he said he does wish it hadn't happened during his vacation He is not a well-respected voice in American politics; rather, he appears to be shrill and unstable Fox sued the former "Saturday Night Live" performer and his publisher, the Penguin Group, to stop them from including "fair and balanced" in the title of his upcoming book He is vacationing in Italy "I normally prefer not to be out of the country on vacation when I'm sued In its court papers, Fox described the author and liberal commentator as "neither a journalist nor a television news personality The lawsuit also says that Franken has been described as "increasingly unfunny " As of Tuesday night, "Lies" had reached No com, one ranking ahead of the latest Harry Potter book However, from everything I know about law regarding satire, I'm not worried," Franken, who has not filed a response in court, said in a statement released Tuesday " Fox alleged that Franken was "either intoxicated or deranged" when he attacked the network and conservative host Bill O'Reilly at an April press correspondents dinner Filed Monday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the trademark infringement lawsuit seeks to force Penguin to rename "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," scheduled for release next month " "As far as the personal attacks go," Franken responded, "when I read `intoxicated or deranged' and `shrill and unstable' in their complaint, I thought for a moment I was a Fox commentator His views lack any serious depth or insight I am seriously considering a countersuit Fox News registered "Fair & Balanced" as a trademark in 1995, the lawsuit said It filed for bankruptcy in March and sold ReplayTV to another electronics company, D&M Holdings Inc But can the little guys survive the heat? SONICblue didn't He said TiVo has stayed away from any file-sharing over the Net or automatic ad-zapping features "You look for complementary solutions rather than riding roughshod," he said "We want to deliver to customers services they want," he said Doug Lichtman, a University of Chicago law professor, was dismayed to see ReplayTV's new owners bow to Hollywood: "It troubles me to see the big player bully everyone else, rather than let the courts decide Spokesman Keith Cocozza of Time Warner Cable â€â€? the first U The music industry also unsuccessfully tried to squelch MP3 music players, losing in court in 1999 against the makers of Rio, the first commercial MP3 player , forcing the struggling consumer electronics company to pay millions of dollars in legal fees Four years ago, the Motion Picture Association of America formed a technology unit to ensure that device makers understood its copy-protection requirements, said Brad Hunt, the association's chief technical officer cable operator to introduce a digital video recorder-equipped cable box â€â€? said a delicate balancing act is involved Nickerson knows Yudkovitz, who left his post as NBC's executive vice president to become TiVo's president in April "At first, when the DVR technology came out, there was a near universal gagging from the networks and the advertisers," said Yudkovitz Others contend that such coziness sometimes deprives consumers of flexibility â€â€? or worse, privacy rights and civil liberties â€â€? as entertainment companies exert control over how people use creative works gone digital The advanced box, called the Explorer 8000, is technically equipped with a 30-second commercial skip feature, but none of the cable companies â€â€? which have the final say on what features consumers would get â€â€? are activating that option, said Tony Wasilewski, Scientific-Atlanta's chief scientist But the 30-second skip technology built into it will probably never see the light of day, said Mark DePietro, a Motorola vice president Those features on previous models rattled Hollywood, which fears the Napsterization of television programming and contends that the loss of commercial viewership would kill television's bread-and-butter " ReplayTV's startup rival, TiVo Inc And more often than not, Hollywood representatives are sitting in on the discussions that determine those technical standards , effectively making the copyright-infringeme nt lawsuit moot But major consumer electronics makers would rather not antagonize Hollywood He was an executive at Toshiba Corp Work Together Jul 20, 11:55 AM EST It's like a shotgun marriage gone oddly harmonious: Hollywood and the consumer electronics industry are now working closer together after a few years of claws-out antagonism in courtrooms and on Capitol Hill As they introduce such products as PCs with TV tuners and digital media receivers that let consumers store recorded digital video, many device makers are careful to restrict the number of copies that can be made or shared over computer networks More often than not, that is giving Hollywood's copy-protection interests a virtual seat at the product design table , has deliberately tried to avoid rankling Tinseltown Recent copy-infringement cases have targeted small companies that make bleeding-edge technologies TiVo even recruited a TV network veteran to preach to Hollywood the potential benefits of the disruptive technology that lets consumers record programming onto a hard disk and pause or fast-foward through live television Still, a product is more likely to succeed if it gets Hollywood support, said Stephen Nickerson, a managing director of Warner Home Video and active in discussions between the tech industry and Hollywood studios before DVD players debuted commercially in 1997 </p > In true form, 28 studios sued ReplayTV's previous owner, SONICblue Inc " SONICblue sank Consider how one-time rebel ReplayTV backed down "The threat of litigation has had a chilling effect on what technologists would be prepared to include in any new devices they release," said Gwen Hinze, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation The tech company's new owners said last month that its upcoming digital video recorders will no longer allow people to automatically skip ads or share shows over the Internet Consumer electronic companies realized then that they needed Hollywood's backing, and spent five years resolving technical details and copy-protection standards before DVD players hit the market " Last year, Scientific-Atlanta became the first cable set-top box maker to launch a model with a built-in digital video recorder Similarly, Motorola, the nation's leading cable box maker, is set to soon introduce a cable box with all the bells and whistles of a digital video recorder and much more The two industries argue plenty over the details Hollywood, Electronics Cos At times, the tech industry has prevailed without Hollywood's blessing "Now TiVo is earning a good-guy image "Without good content there, my products are nothing but furniture or art It's a pre-emptive move as cell phones are increasingly becoming vehicles for data, ranging from snapshots to branded entertainment â€â€? such as music video clips S D&M's technology adviser Tom McCarthy does not think consumers will lose out: "We'll be in belt and suspenders, but it'll be done in a way where the consumer will feel they can still keep up with their digital lifestyle Hollywood wants to control distribution as much as possible while the tech industry doesn't want anti-piracy safeguards driving up the price or limiting the appeal of its products "We go to significant lengths to make sure that we stay on the good side of the networks," said Martin J The precedent-setting 1984 Sony Betamax case established the legality of VCRs and the right of consumers to record and watch shows at their convenience "But at the same time, we need our content and vending partners, and we need to respect and protect their rights So it all falls back on what Hollywood is comfortable with," said Chris Cudina, national sales and marketing manager for Samsung's digital set-top box group " To avoid conflict with Hollywood, Nokia recently added copy-protection technology to its toolkit for developers building mobile phone Internet applications ReplayTV's president, Jim Hollingsworth, called cooperation with Hollywood the best approach to bringing digital video recording technology to market It could be the tough economic times or a distaste for further legal showdowns, but many top gadget makers are now trying hard to please the purveyors of entertainment |
