p2pnet Readers’ Writes, June 5-6

p2pnet news | P2P:- Hi all:

I’m taking a badly needed break for a couple of weeks and I’d like to ask your help to keep p2pnet least partially ticking over.

If you wouldn’t mind, if you find stories, links, and so on, you think might interest other people, could you post them as comments?

Ottawa Gal and her husband are going to keep an eye out for spam, etc, and I’ll log on when I can.

Out of interest, on June 5,1956, Elvis Presley introduces his new single, “Hound Dog“, on The Milton Berle Show, “scandalizing the audience with his suggestive hip movements”.

June 6, 1683, saw the opening of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, as the world’s first university museum.

Cheers! And thanks again for the help

See you full-time on June 17.

Parties file objections to Magistrate Judge’s attorneys fee award in Atlantic v. Andersen

In Atlantic v. Andersen, both sides have filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s attorneys fee award of $107,834, the RIAA saying that the amount should not have exceeded $62,000, Ms. Andersen saying that the award should be multiplied due to the difficulty in finding counsel willing to take on such a case.

Interesting article in New York Times:

“The Inexact Science Behind DMCA Takedown Notices

By Brad Stone
Takedown notice

A new study from the University of Washington suggests that media industry trade groups are using flawed tactics in their investigations of users who violate copyrights on peer-to-peer file sharing networks.

Those trade groups, including the Motion Picture Association of America (M.P.A.A.) Entertainment Software Association (E.S.A.) and Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.), send universities and other network operators an increasing number of takedown notices each year, alleging that their intellectual property rights have been violated under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Many universities pass those letters directly on to students without questioning the veracity of the allegations. The R.I.A.A. in particular follows up some of those notices by threatening legal action and forcing alleged file-sharers into a financial settlement.

But the study, released today by Tadayoshi Kohno, an assistant professor, Michael Piatek a graduate student, and Arvind Krishnamurthy, a research assistant professor, all at the University of Washington, argues that perhaps those takedown notices should be viewed more skeptically.

UK ISP Virgin Media plays Kopyright Kop to lick British Phonographic Industry’s ass. Western governments might as well ask Bin Laden what he wants and cave in too.
