Non-P2P DRM / Copyright News Comments 2006-11-22

  • P2PNet - BitTorrent video store delay
  • Light Reading - BitTorrent Video Store Delayed
  • Oh, BitTorrent’s video store is going to use Microsoft’s DRM? Happy cracking with FairUse4WM!!! This is probably what the delay is really over.

  • P2PNet - Bayern Munich takes on YouTube
  • Heise Online (Germany / English) - Bayern Munich takes on YouTube
  • I guess fans and players should boycott bayern munich if they start flinging out their lawsuits. Most of the infringing content is likely on Emule. YouTube is easily browser cache ripped also.

  • P2PNet - DRM is good for you
  • PC World - Is DRM Good Or Bad For Consumers?
  • DRM good for consumers because more selection will be available??? Yeah right. I won’t buy it. I never had any DRM thing on my computer ever except some SQL Server Zinio magazines. It had a 3-PC limit and the reader was slow and clumsy. Ordering or pirating a SQL Server Magazine Master CD is far better. Non-DRM .chm file.

  • P2PNet - Japanese harp player nailed
  • Mainichi Daily News - Elderly harmonica player arrested for performing copyrighted songs at bar
  • Better not be playing Nickelback or Disturbed on your guitar where neighbors can hear you or the RIAA’s thugs are going to have you arrested (after you ignore several cease and decist letters, a court order / injunction, and several more cease and decist letters)!!

  • TorrentFreak - MPAA sues company for selling pre-loaded iPods
  • Electronic Fontier Foundation - Movie Studios Sue to Stop Loading of DVDs onto iPods
  • Piracy-4-Money sucks. The justification for the consumer paying the profit margin markup is the copied hollywood movies.

  • TorrentFreak - Asia ??pirates??? out of necessity, not choice
  • CNet Asia Blogs - Do you want more frickin’ pirates?
  • Wired News - IPod Gray Market Booms in India
  • The third-world low-income of asia is actually is what is allowing Piracy-4-Money (coounterfeit DVDs etc) to be more widespread over Piracy-4-Free (P2P filesharing, F2F sneakernet). Legal restrictions and red-tape promote all kinds of piracy, whether it is excessive tarrifs (import taxes), power or moral or import-regulation bans, or over-regulation. P2P file sharing and F2F darknets and F2F sneakernet over snail-mail will fill all supply-voids. Rich and middle-income countries have individuals using it (common citizen can afford PC and internet), while the rest have decentralized organized-crime doing it instead, and making profit off of the sales.

  • P2PNet - RIAA bog paper
  • Jinks - RIAA Toilet Paper (Buy it here)
  • RIAA CRAP! Next Halloween Wipe your ass with it and then TP the car or house with it! (Not worth the money if you don’t like egging / TPing on halloween)
