Apparently Vice President Joe Biden is visiting Israel, and giving a speech at Tel Aviv University.

This may be an even bigger deal than you&#8217;d imagine, as Justin.tv has been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20091215\/0940027360.shtml\">targeted<\/a> by some politicians because some users have streamed TV shows and live sporting events via the service, potentially infringing on copyrights.  And, of course, Joe Biden tends to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20091215\/0200387354.shtml\">pretty close<\/a> with the entertainment industry, and typically seems to favor that industry over the technology industry.  But, perhaps, he&#8217;ll start to see the light on how technology like this is <i>useful<\/i>, rather than a threat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100308\/1905038468.shtml\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/articles\/20100308\/1905038468.shtml#comments\">Comments<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/techdirt.com\/article.php?sid=20100308\/1905038468&#038;op=sharethis\">Email This Story<\/a><br \/>\n <br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"both\" style=\"clear: both;\"\/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=b1dabf0792ca994ecf994fc42c72df3e&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: 0;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=b1dabf0792ca994ecf994fc42c72df3e&#038;p=1\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:none\" src=\"http:\/\/a.rfihub.com\/eus.gif?eui=2225\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=azwrR8Gtn-8:GokQk_albuw:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?i=azwrR8Gtn-8:GokQk_albuw:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.techdirt.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?a=azwrR8Gtn-8:GokQk_albuw:c-S6u7MTCTE\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/techdirt\/feed?d=c-S6u7MTCTE\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/techdirt\/feed\/~4\/azwrR8Gtn-8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a nice surprise.
