UK Anti-Piracy Plans Cost More Than Music Industry âLossesâ
,----[ Quote ]
| As the UK file-sharing debate reaches fever pitch, with
| opinionated artists being shipped in by the bus load to
| condemn it, inevitably attention is turning to the costs
| associated with trying to end it. According to a boss at
| ISP BT, not only are the governmentâs plans doomed to fail,
| but could end up costing ISPs a staggering Â1m a day.

Elton John Flip Flops: Kicking People Off The Internet Is Good! No, Bad! No, Good!
,----[ Quote ]
| So, it was a bit of a surprise a few weeks back to see him
| among the list of big name rockstars coming out against
| kicking people off the internet for file sharing.
| Apparently, though, no one told Elton John that he was on
| that list, because now he's switched positions again and is
| saying that he's all for Peter Mandelson's proposal to kick
| people off the internet.

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.

,----[ Quote ]
| In the aftermath of the Pirate Bay verdict, Sweden has witnessed the demise
| of many other BitTorrent trackers. But not quite enough according to music
| industry lobby group IFPI, who are now threatening the hosting providers of

| be one of the first targets.

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.
