Apparently, Sony Pictures films have been pulled from Netflix. Netflix claims that it's a temporary issue due to a contract dispute between Sony and Starz (a Netflix partner from which it gets many of its streaming movies).

Other reports, however, say that there's no contract dispute, but that Starz just pulled the plug on those films.

In a huge victory against copyright trolls, a judge has thrown out the lawsuit filed by Righthaven against Democratic Underground.

This was the key case where (after lots of stalling), Righthaven eventually revealed the strategic agreement between it and Stephens Media, which basically shows the copyright assignment to Righthaven was a fraud.

The site has begun showing more than 6,000 feature films and television shows submitted by CBS, Hulu.com, Sony Pictures Television, and more than 500 independent filmmakers.
