Prohibition of gossip
In Tractate Yoma 4b it is written: "How can one say something to his friend that he is in Babylon, until he says to him, 'Tell me,' as it is said, 'And he called to Moses, and the Lord spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying, 'Tell me.'" Are there any halachic meanings to this statement even today? And if so, what are they? Likewise, can copyright law be based on this statement?

It seems to me that this mimra is a moral legend and was not mentioned in the main poskim. There are matters of gossip and revealing secrets – and this is a halakhic prohibition that the rabbinic scholar emphasized in detail (although I also suspect his books of turning a legend into halakhic law). I was not told about copyright, and therefore I see no connection to this mimra. In my article in Tummin on plagiarism and intellectual property , I proposed a Torah basis for these laws.
