There are changes coming to .NL domain registrations. Beginning October 1, 2023, owners of .NL domains will no longer be able to use proxy or privacy services as the nominal registrants of their domain name. This change is intended to make domain owners more easily contactable and to prevent bad actors from dishonestly registering a domain. We encourage you to reach out to your registrar of choice to make sure any .NL domains you own are compliant with this new rule. You can find a more in-depth explanation of the changes on the registry's website.

The Second Circuit assumed, without deciding, that unauthorized embedding constitutes copyright infringement. It held that Townsquare’s use of the video was not fair under Section 107 of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 107, because it was not “transformative.” Townsquare had failed to “add something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the original with new expression, meaning, or message.”
