For One Movie, Piracy Is a Positive
,----[ Quote ]
| âXâs and Oâs,â a 93-minute feature directed by Kedar Korde on a budget of
| $850,000, was self-distributed on Amazon in June. The response: Almost none.
|
| Then someone pirated it onto the Internet via the file-sharing service
| BitTorrent. The film started to get noticed in an underground way, with an
| estimated 150,000 people watching downloads in one week, the filmmakers
| estimate. It also started climbing the rankings on the Internet Movie
| Database.

Constitutionality Of The Copyright Royalty Board To Finally Get Tested In Court
,----[ Quote ]
| Last year, we noted that, it seemed clear that the Copyright Royalty Board
| was unconstitutional. This was due to a technical legal process change a few
| years ago (which also impacted the patent appeals board). Still, I noted that
| this probably wasn't a huge deal, because even if the CRB were found to be
| directed by improperly chosen judges, it would likely be "corrected" quickly
| by having the President (or a dept head) "reappoint" those same judges.

The Price of Justice
,----[ Quote ]
| If you believe that denying a fair trial to around 5 million people in this
| country is wrong, maybe it's time to join the Pirate Party?

| The UK Pirate Party has been officially registered at the Electoral
| Commission and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of its successful
| counterpart in Sweden. With all the recent controversy surrounding
| anti-piracy legislation and lawyers going after alleged file-sharers, the
| party has become necessity.
