Copyright Claims Board is “Ineffective and Costly,” Watchdog Groups Say * TorrentFreak

Responding to an inquiry from the U.S. Copyright Office, a coalition of watchdog groups has flagged various problems with the Copyright Claims Board. They label the three-year-old small claims tribunal as "ineffective" and a poor use of taxpayer money. The groups highlight a high volume of dismissed claims, concerns over the opt-out procedure, and an alarming 60% default rate in cases that do reach a final determination.

There's a Small Claims Arbitrators training (on zoom) coming up April 25 at 6:15. If you're admitted in NY for at least 5 years, you can hear cases in the people's court (small claims, not TV). Good pro-bono work. And it's fun. #law #smallClaims

I just finished prepping for my #SmallClaims court hearing tomorrow. I'm suing #CVS for $150 + costs. The branch on the corner of my block allowed neighborhood resident to park overnight in their rear lot for 25 years, then changed that policy without any prior notice and had all the cars in the lot towed. I had to pay the tow lot $150. I sent CVS a letter demanding reimbursement and they ignored it. So off to court we go.
