Updated: Anti-Piracy Outfit and Lawyers May Operate Illegally
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month TorrentFreak reported on DigiProtect, the anti-
| piracy company with the tagline âTurn Piracy Into Profitâ.
| A manager from DigiProtect revealed some of the inner
| workings on how the company operates but according to a

| revealed just a little too much.

Pirate Bay Judge Accused of Bias, Calls for a Retrial
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the biggest cases in file-sharing history ended last week with The
| Pirate Bay Four sentenced to huge fines and jail time. Today it is revealed
| that far from being impartial, the judge in the case is a member of
| pro-copyright groups - along with Henrik PontÃn, Monique Wadsted and Peter
| Danowsky. There are loud calls for a retrial.

RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| In their proposed response, the RIAA lawyers personally attacked The Free
| Software Foundation, Ray Beckerman (NewYorkCountryLawyer), and NYCL's
| blog, 'Recording Industry vs. The People'. The 9-page response (PDF) â 4
| pages longer than the document to which it was responding â termed the FSF an
| organization 'dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying,
| redistribution, and modifying computer programs', and accused the FSF of
| having an 'open and virulent bias against copyrights' and 'blatant bias'
| against the record companies.
