prepare

US Gov't Briefing For All Employees: All Music Downloads Are Stolen, Risky
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, to be fair, it's rather obvious that the briefing is designed to keep
| gov't employees from using file sharing programs and potentially exposing
| confidential gov't documents via file sharing. And that's reasonable. But why
| not be accurate and honest about it? Lying about it makes no sense.

Isohunt judge says MPAA has yet to prove direct infringment
,----[ Quote ]
| BitTorrent search engines, The Pirate Bay, was brought up on criminal
| misconduct charges and TorrentSpy's case was decided on a discovery sanction.
| Some of the issues in the Usenet.com case closely resemble Isohunt and
| TorrentSpy's, although the company is not a BitTorrent tracker or search
| engine.
|
| Usenet.com is a company that enabled users to access the Usenet network and
| it too lost on a discovery sanction.

P2P Banned In Antarctica?
,----[ Quote ]
| We know that there's been an ongoing effort by entertainment industry
| lobbyists to convince politicians (and others) that file sharing and P2P apps
| are somehow to blame for stupid government staffers accidentally leaking
| files via those programs. Apparently the propaganda campaign has worked in at
| least one area: employees of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) were
| sent an alert that they need to stop using all P2P programs.
