...Because of Versus' limited carriage and penalty-box position on many channel lineups, what should be a transcendent series for hockey in America is barely cracking mainstream consciousness. Versus has carried all of the Penguins-Caps series except for Game 1, which NBC broadcast on May 2, and has averaged 1.04 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Co. The series is drawing a smaller audience than last year's College Baseball World Series, which ESPN broadcast for an average of 1.4 million viewers. On May 8, only 647,000 viewers tuned in to Game 4 of the series, making...
...Many hockey insiders are frustrated. "Quite frankly, I don't believe people know what Versus is, and I still don't know what they do," says Chicago Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz, whose team will face the winner of the Detroit-Anaheim series in the Western Conference finals (broadcast on Versus, of course).

Sypher has also spoken to Louisville's Courier-Journal newspaper...
...District Judge was receptive to his argument, granting the request in a move that would have allowed the state’s first-ever live Internet coverage of a federal court hearing. But the recording industry appealed to a higher court two days later, putting a hold on the broadcast and winning no friends on the Tenenbaum side, which saw what came to be known as the “First Circuit Appeal” as yet another move by powerful interests to restrict access to information online. “At a very basic level, this is about...
...there is a voice asking to be heard on the copy-conservative side right now, it’s that of Sheffner, who has worked on copyright issues with broadcast giants NBC and Fox, and recently served as a special counsel to the 2008 campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain. With a little time on his hands following the November election, Sheffner, who had some journalism experience on Capitol Hill prior to law school, turned to blogging about copyright issues—a sector where, he said, there was a need for a more conservative viewpoint...
