Chick wins in her defence against the RIAA and can now sue 'em. This just opens the doors.

Backing up your CD on your iPod is stealing according to Sony:

Seriously, start using this website if you buy cd's:

http://www.riaaradar.com/

It tells you which cd's help support the RIAA. Cuz if I see you buying a cd that aids them, I will have to beat you in the face.

RIAA goes after Usenet:

Ironically, they may be allowed to use the DMCA in their defence.

RIAA may lose more than the money they just won due to a case where it's been deemed they sued without evidence:

MPAA hired a guy to illegally acquire info on Torrentspy for their trial:

As a followup to the previous post:

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9361

Unfortunately Bunnell’s suit against the MPAA was dropped, with Los Angeles-based U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper saying that Anderson’s actions did not violate the wiretapping statute. Other, similar laws that may have been used against the MPAA are not available either, because they do not allow for vicarious liability.

The MPAA claims that the countersuit being thrown out is proof that its actions were perfectly legal.

Apparently, them getting the info in that manner is completely fine.

RCMP says they won't persue personal file sharers; just the big boys trying to make money off it. Glad to see some sensibility in all of this.

Though, Demonoid just died today

Does anyone else think this is a bit much?

If the school doesn't stop P2P, they lose all their government grants. I'm sure this will do wonders for the competitiveness of the US educationally.
