Podcast (stream or download): In this week's episode of "Do You Copy?," Ananda and Tony discuss the big picture when it comes to Novartis's failure to get a patent on its improved cancer drug. And then it's on to two decisions in which copyrights are pitted against service providers. In one case, Tony revisits an old rant against the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit when talking about the latest decision in the Aereo case. And Ananda talks about the downfall of ReDigi's attempt to sell second-hand digitized music.
