p2pnet revisited
The week that was …
We’ve been meaning to do a p2pnet.net Top Stories item for quite a while. So here’s the first post on the subject : )
Sunday, August 15 – Blaster Master fire storm
US District Judge Marsha Pechman in Seattle has sparked a fire-storm. And given the nature of the subject that ignited it, who knows where it’ll lead.
Monday, August 16 – SP2 hazard warning
Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Tuesday, August 17 – MP3 Spam
Remember when Sony tried to promote its own movies through fake reviews? Now it looks as if Warner is trying to do much the same through mp3 blogs.
Wednesday, August 18 – Olympic streaker gets 5 months
A 31-year-old Canadian who, dressed in a blue tutu and white tights, soared off the three-metre board during an Olympics diving event, is appealing a five month jail sentence imposed by an Athens court.
Thursday, August 19 – Canadian copyright petition
So far, close to 4,000 people in the US have been sued by members of the Big Four record label cartel for not buying their music. Canadians have managed to escape a similar fate. And Chris Brand has organized an online petition aimed at making sure things stay that way.
[Special mention: August 19 was also the day the world learned the court battle between Morpheus, Grokster and Hollywood is finally over - with the two p2p companies emerging the clear winners.]
Friday, August 20 – HP sets ‘good worm’ loose
There’s a ‘good worm’ out there. And it belongs to HP.
