French Court - Private Copying is Not a Right

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:56:44 +0100

Says companies are allowed to put Digital Rights Management on their CDs, even if it doesn't work on some devices. It may be a small setback to advocates who want to broaden their rights when they copy a CD. According to 01net (Google Translated), a French court has ruled that if a company puts Digital Rights Management (DRM) on their CD and a consumer can't play it, the company did not break any laws and cannot be held liable for damages. Naturally, proponents for DRM applauded the decision (Google Translation) While many users of content may feel that copying is a right, the ruling seems to just reinforce what has been generally set in stone in many other countries, that, legally speaking, private copying is an exception, not a right. If a company chooses to put DRM on their CD, then they are entitled to do so.

BitTorrent Inc. Collaborate to Help ISPs Speed Up P2P Traffic

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:55:38 +0100

Combine forces to help route file-sharing traffic to local peers and help avoid network congestion. BitTorrent Inc. and Oversi, an Israel-based pioneer of over-the-top (OTT) caching and delivery solutions, today announced their collaboration to deliver an integrated solution that optimizes P2P traffic across the Internet Service Provider (ISP) network. The joint solution brings clear benefits to ISPs: reduced bandwidth costs and deferred infrastructure investments together with a higher quality subscriber experience. The solution involves BitTorrent's intelligent client protocols (Policy Discovery Protocols) communicating with Oversi's NetEnhancer(TM) network intelligence platform to improve peer selection in line with the ISP's network capabilities while speeding up P2P downloads.

Warner Music Proposes File-Sharing Tax for College Tuition

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:55:36 +0100

Royalty fees included in fees would mean students could legally share music, but would also penalize those who don't share music or live in on-campus housing. Warner Music Group's digital music strategist, Jim Griffin, is proposing a "'voluntary blanket licensing' for online access to music" scheme whereby students are taxed for the privilege of legalized file-sharing with the proceeds collected by a nonprofit, Choruss, and divvied up among copyright holders. The presentation is making the rounds of college campuses nationwide by nonprofit technology advocate Educause, with Columbia, Stanford, University of Chicago, University of Washington, MIT, University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Cornell, Penn State, University of California at Berkeley and University of Virginia all reportedly having expressed some interest. It's not surprising considering the recent passage of the Higher Education Act (HEA), which included provisions forcing colleges and universities to combat illegal file-sharing on campus, may eventually cost these institutions some $500,000 USD annually. What's particularly unsettling about the proposal is that it forces all students, whether they live off campus or not, or even whether they share music or not, to pay an extra fee with their college tuition.

Suffering from unprofitability, quietly closes paid content store and turns to searching the web for torrent trackers to download content, both legally and illegally. BitTorrent Inc. had launched their ambitious BitTorrent Entertainment Network(BEN) last year. The store enabled the BitTorrent users to purchase and download movies and television shows legally. However, the store was not a success as the company has now announced its closure.

Swedish Gov't Mulls New Anti-File-Sharing Law

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 17:55:06 +0100

Formally presents legislation allowing copyright holders to use courts to force ISPs to divulge names associated with IP addresses linked to illegal downloading. The Swedish government says it is drafting a new anti-P2P law that will allow copyright holders to pursue those sharing music and movies illegally. The proposal, based on the European Union's Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED), makes it possible for copyright holders to seek a court order to require ISPs to divulge the names of individuals accused of sharing copyrighted material illegally. Companies can then seek damages from the file-sharers in court. “If those who create computer games, films, or music lack the ability to be paid for their products, they won’t be able to hire the people they need so their companies can grow.

Duke Now Requires RIAA to Have Proof of Illegal File-Sharing

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:00:24 +0100

Wants actual evidence of copyright infringement before it forwards pre-litigation "settlement" letters to students. An odd thing has happened on the campus of Duke University. The Office of Student Affairs is now requiring the RIAA and other copyright holder groups to submit evidence that a student committed copyright infringement before it forwards pre-litigation "settlement" letters to them The new policy is a departure from previous policy whereby it forwarded the notices to students no questions asked. "What we're saying is that in order for us to pass on a settlement letter to a student, we're going to start requiring evidence that someone actually downloaded from that student," said Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta. "If the RIAA can't prove that actual illegal behavior occurred, then we're not going to comply.

Sweden to Introduce Controversial Anti-Piracy Law

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:00:05 +0100

Sweden, home of The Pirate Bay and the most active pro-piracy lobbyists and politicians, is drafting a new law that would make it easier to go after individuals who share copyrighted files on filesharing networks such as BitTorrent. The new law, likely to be opposed by a large number of Swedes, will go into effect April 2009.

The law will make it easier for copyright holders to get a court order in order to force ISPs to release the customer info linked to a suspect IP-address. The Local reports that, although the law is based on a EU directive, the current draft goes further than that.

In order to obtain the personal details, copyright holders will have to prove that there is “probable cause” that a person, or rather an IP-address, has actually shared copyrighted material with others. With the current state of evidence gathering, where mistakes and false accusations are fairly common, this may not be that easy to achieve.

The many unsecured Wireless routers complicate the evidence gathering even further, and BitTorrent trackers have also implemented countermeasures of their own. Earlier this week we reported that the Pirate Bay tracker software automatically inserts several “random IP addresses” that are not actually downloading data. This is done on purpose, to pollute the evidence gathering of anti-piracy outfits.

The new law is also heavily opposed by Swedish Pirate Party Chairman Rick Falkvinge who told TorrentFreak: “These laws are written by digital illiterates who behave like blindfolded, drunken elephants trumpeting about in an egg packaging facility. They have no idea how much damage they’re causing, because they lack today’s literacy: an understanding of how the Internet is reshaping the power structures at their core.”

“We have good hope of putting an end to these ridiculous developments. Either the existing politicians start to understand what they’re actually doing at work all day, or they will escalate the conflict to the point where we’re replacing them in office. Either way, copyright will be scaled back,” Falkvinge added.

It is to be expected that opposition against the new anti-piracy law will be great, similar to the public outrage when Sweden introduced a wiretapping law earlier this year, and after the raid on The Pirate Bay in 2006. It wouldn’t surprise us if The Pirate Bay fights this battle at the front, clashing with local politicians and media once again.

Wikipedia DVD Released on BitTorrent

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:33:03 +0100

Today, the latest edition of the Wikipedia school edition has been released by SOS Children’s Villages, a charity organization that aims to help orphans and vulnerable children worldwide. The 08/09 edition can be downloaded for free, via BitTorrent only, and comprises over 5500 hand-picked educational articles aimed at helping schools to enhance their curriculum.

This year’s Wikipedia edition for schools is the largest since the project started back in 2006. With 34,000 images and 20 million words, it is comparable to a twenty volume encyclopedia captured on a single DVD.

Without a doubt, it is the most successful “checked content” project based on the English Wikipedia, used by hundreds of schools in first and third world countries. The project was originally aimed at schools in developing countries, but because of the high quality articles - all based around the UK curriculum with an absence of adult content - it is often used on intranets in first world schools too.

To save on resources, Wikipedia for schools is only available online via BitTorrent, which practically reduces the charity’s distribution costs to zero. SOS Children CEO Andrew Cates, who is a Wikipedia administrator himself, said that they have no other choice than to use BitTorrent, since the 2.9 GB download would crush their server.

“BitTorrent was a bit disappointing in that it got us the only substantial criticisms we received online,” Cates said in an interview with Wikinews. “A lot of people find it too much effort to use. However for the period we offered a straight http: download we had huge problems with spiders eating vast bandwidth.”

“As per last year therefore our main two channels will be free download by BitTorrent and mailing the DVDs free all over the world. At a pinch we will (as before) put straight copies up for individuals who cannot get it any other way, and we have some copies on memory sticks for on distributors,” Cates added.

The .torrent file is available for download on the SOS Children’s Villages website. For those who don’t want to install a BitTorrent client, the DVD can also be downloaded from any web browser with BitLet.

A final word of advice from SOS Children’s Villages: “It helps our charity if you keep µTorrent running after your download is finished.”

isoHunt: 'Copyright Infringers Aren't Wrong, the Law Is'

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:00:20 +0100

Gary Fung, founder of the BitTorrent tracker site, shares his thoughts on copyright law and its need for reform in an age where the Internet allows society to freely share ideas and thoughts with one another It was about two months ago that Gary Fong, founder of the popular isoHunt BitTorrent tracker site, decided to go on the offensive by suing the Canadian Record Industry Association (CRIA) so that courts could clarify the site's legality once and for all. "We intend to take this all the way up to the Canadian Supreme Court unless CRIA settles with us out of court in any reasonable way," Fung noted. In his petition Fung pointed out that Google works just as isoHunt does, yet it indexes ACTUAL CONTENT! With isoHunt users can only search through .torrent (tracker) files whereas with Google you can search through music, movies, images, and more. In many cases you can even download many of them with a simple right-click of the mouse.

IFPI Wins Danish File-Sharing Case

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:33:03 +0100

A man who was tracked sharing over 13,000 music tracks on Direct Connect back in 2005 has lost his appeal. The Vestre Landsret, one of Denmark’s higher courts, has ordered the middle-aged man to pay $24,400 (160,000 kroner) in compensation.

As far as anti-piracy headlines go, the IFPI would prefer those coming from Denmark recently to be kept as quiet as possible. Back in September, Danish ISPs rejected the IFPI “3 strikes” proposals and then the anti-piracy group lost two court cases where alleged file-sharers used the so-called ‘wireless defense’.

This week, however, the IFPI and Danish Antipiratgruppen achieved a small victory in the case of a middle-aged man from Aalborg who used Direct Connect (DC) to share around 13,000 music files in 2005.

According to a Comon.dk report, the IFPI/Antipiratgruppen tracked activity which it linked to an IP address registered to the man. Obviously - as in all such cases - it was not possible to positively identify the person at the keyboard simply via the IP address, but the man made some admissions in what appears to be a generally weak defense, and these seem to help seal his fate.

Having previously lost his case in the district court, the man appealed and the case went to the Vestre Landsret, one of Denmark’s highest courts.

The defendant claimed that he couldn’t figure out how to use Direct Connect but admitted visiting the software’s homepage, albeit on an old PC which dated back to the mid 1990’s. It was also made clear in court that the man did not operate any type of wireless network, eliminating a defense which proved successful in other cases.

The ruling from the Vestre Landsret which was announced yesterday morning, stated that the man was guilty of copyright infringement. “The Court held that no person other than him [the defendant] could have used the IP address, and therefore he was sentenced,” said Antipiratgruppen lawyer, Maria Fred Lund.

The defendant was ordered to pay 160,000 kroner ($24,400) in damages, which was substantially less than the 440,000 kroner ($67,200) the anti-pirates wanted. He was also ordered to delete the music files he had obtained illegally.

Although the damages are less than the IFPI would’ve liked, the defendant’s lawyer, Per OverBech, says they could appeal to get the damages reduced. The court calculated the damages based on the losses estimated to have been suffered following the breach of copyright. The Vestre Landsret set an amount of 80,000 kroner ($12,200) and used the principle of ‘double-up’ to reach a final figure of 160,000 kroner ($24,400).

The ‘double up’ provision in Danish law is comprised of two parts. The first part covers the losses estimated to have been suffered following the breach of copyright. The court then doubles this amount to cover the actual losses and the documenting of such losses, which Antipiratgruppen and IFPI did not do.

“It is worth noting that it certainly pays to deal critically with the requirements of Antipiratgruppen,” said Per OverBech. “But in this case, the Vestre Landsret applied the principle of double-up, and I do not think there is reason for this,” noting that Antipiratgruppen provided no evidence to prove that sales had declined due to the alleged file-sharing activities of his client.

OverBech admits that it is unlikely that he will achieve an acquittal for his client but could go to the Supreme Court to contest the ‘double up’ principle applied by Vestre Landsret.
