Wow, they've been busy today:

They want ISP to pull the 'net away from people caught downloading (thus, leaving the courts out of all of this):

SFWA tells its users to take down things that are under a common shared clause (much like the Viacom/VH1/YouTube incident):

and

The MPAA is justified, clearly, in their piracy concerns as their profits almost hit record highs again:

Thankfully, someone is hitting back and calling them a cartel and in violation of anti-trust laws:

It's a lower court, so the precedent isn't all that note-worthy........

........but it still brings a smile to my face to see the RIAA lose.

Trent Reznor in Australia and his thoughts on music prices:

Has anyone seen the price come down? Okay, well, you know what that means — STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin'. Because one way or another these mother****ers will get it through their head that they're ripping people off and that's not right.

CRIA realizes what the levies mean and wants to reverse the trend:

Ah, digital fiction. Remember that $30 billion figure that everyone talks about happening here in Canada with counterfeiting?

http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2243/135/

They, basically, looked it up on Google. So, they took a 1/2 @$$ed guess off Google and presented it to Parliament :lol:

Yet despite the reliance on this figure - the Industry Committee referenced it in its final report - a closer examination reveals that the RCMP data is fatally flawed. Responding to an Access to Information Act request for the sources behind the $30 billion claim, Canada's national police force last week admitted that the figures were based on "open source documents found on the Internet." In other words, the RCMP did not conduct any independent research on the scope or impact of counterfeiting in Canada, but rather merely searched for news stories on the Internet and then stood silent while lobby groups trumpeted the figure before Parliament.

Mediadefender, a company who's existence hinged on the fact that it said P2P couldn't be fought legally, is now suing torrent sites over them spreading their emails:

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20 ... -leak.html

Rather ironic. Feel free to grab the emails where they talk about fraudulent manners by which they'll fight torrents. Right now, it seems as though Mediadefender is DDOS one of the sites. :roll:
