Music industry talks break down in illegal downloading row
,----[ Quote ]
| Many in the music business believe that the disunity,
| which has involved public spats between the FAC and
| artists such as Lily Allen, Abba and Muse, will derail
| Lord Mandelsonâs proposals, as the industry fails to
| present a united front.
|
| UK Music, the umbrella organisation for the whole music
| industry, has already dropped all mentions of
| disconnection from its public statements on the issue,
| in a desperate attempt to unite the industry. The
| consultation period for the plans ends in a weekâs time.

| this week a Brazilian court made an unprecedented ruling
| against file-sharing clients. Following legal action by
| anti-piracy groups against a website offering a file-
| sharing client for download, the court decided that
| software which allows users to share music via P2P is
| illegal.

MPAA: We Don't Need No Stinking Evidence!
,----[ Quote ]
| You get some positive news, such as the Amicus brief filed by the EFF and
| others in the Jammie Thomas case, which could net her a new trial.
|
| But also on Friday, the MPAA filed its own brief, one which basically says it
| feels evidence isn't necessary in the case of one of its copyright
| infringement trials.
