Japan's FTC says Microsoft violating
Antimonopoly Act 07/13/2004 10:33 AM
The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) said Tuesday that certain provisions in license agreements between Microsoft Corp. and Japanese PC vendors violate Japan's antimonopoly code. Should licensees believe Microsoft is infringing on their patents, Microsoft's current provisions restrict possible legal action, according to a statement issued by the JFTC. The JFTC decided such a provision unjustly restricts the business activities of the licensees and thus violates section 19 of the Antimonopoly Act, it said.

RIAA Sued For Violating P2P Patent

RIAA Sued For Violating P2P Patent 09/09/2004 03:51 AM
While some may consider it poetic justice to hear that the RIAA has been sued by a P2P company for patent infringement, the news really isn't that great. It's really not particularly unexpected either. Altnet made it clear last year that they would use their patent for identifying files via a hash to sue the music industry for spying on file sharers. Altnet is barely a typical file sharing company either. While it does seem to have a convoluted relationship with Kazaa, it's really a system for interjecting copy protected files into Kazaa's system. The patent, like so many these days, seems quite questionable (and fairly obvious). The RIAA, of course, will fail to see the irony of being hit up with an intellectual property charge, and it will do nothing to change their behavior. All we really end up with is yet another bad patent lawsuit that will do little to move the industry forward.

FCC To Fine AT&T For Violating Do Not
Call Rules

FCC To Fine AT&T For Violating Do Not
Call Rules 11/03/2003 04:45 PM
While I'm sure many will take this article and assume it's about the new national "do not call" list, that's not actually the case. It is, however, the first major attempt by a federal agency to fine a company for violating do not call rules. In this case, the FCC is about to fine AT&T $780,000 for 78 phone calls to 29 people. The violation isn't of the national "do not call" list, but of the internal AT&T "do not call" list that they're required to keep if anyone requests that AT&T not call them. Still, it clearly shows that the FCC is pretty serious about cracking down on bad telemarketers.

Environmentalist fired for violating
nonexistent homeland security law

Environmentalist fired for violating
nonexistent homeland security law 04/11/2005 03:23 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Well-known environmentalist Willie Fontenot was giving some college students a tour of an oil refinery recently. They were standing on a public sidewalk, taking photographs of the refinery, when sheriff's deputies and refinery security guards came over and asked Fontenot to confiscate the students' drivers licenses and hand them over. Fontenot refused, and as a result, he lost his job as community liasion officer for the Louisiana Attorney General's office.

Antioch New England Graduate School, whose students were photographing the refinery, has announced that it "is working with Marylee Orr, Executive Director of the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN), to create a fund to help Mr. Fontenot make up his lost salary and continue to work for environmental justice in Louisiana through a nonprofit organization of his choice." The Louisiana environmental community is also looking into what else it can to defend the right to stand on a sidewalk and talk to students. How sad.

Does Violating Intellectual Property
Rights Make You A Terrorist?

Does Violating Intellectual Property
Rights Make You A Terrorist? 12/03/2003 06:14 PM
It used to be that any hope for a reasonable debate was ended the second anyone called someone else a "Nazi" (see Godwin 's Law). These days, perhaps it should be amended to include anyone calling someone else a "terrorist." Remember a few months back when the World Intellectual Property Organization cancell ed a meeting about open source along with a quote that open source was "contrary to the goals of WIPO." Apparently that wasn't a one-off statement. Instead of exploring issues related to intellectual property, WIPO seems to now firmly believe that there is one and only one way to use intellectual property: and that's to lock it up. WIPO's director, Kamil Idris, was quoted today saying that "Pira cy is like terrorism today." This leaves little (if any) room for an open debate on how there are ways to support intellectual property without having to lock it all up. While the quote is talking about counterfeit products that aren't up to the safety levels of original products, it's way too broad a statement. Certainly, these counterfeit products are dangerous and something should be done about them. However, simply equating all intellectual property violations with "terrorism" goes too far. In the same talk Idris claims that stronger enforcement of intellectual property rights could help developing nations improve their economies. This, of course, is exactly the opposite of what a few studies have found, saying that developing nations would be much stronger without such draconian intellectual property laws. But why should Idris rely on studies when he's in charge of WIPO and his opinion must be right on all things related to intellectual property?

Online Retailers Sued For Violating
Patent On Tracking Visitors 09/15/2004 01:39 PM
The latest in an incredibly long line of silly patent lawsuits comes from BTG (who already has a series of silly patent lawsuits against Microsoft and Apple for a patent on "updates over the internet), who is suing Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Netflix and Overstock for violat ing their patent on tracking the path a visitor takes through their websites. Once again, you have to wonder how this could ever have been approved as a patent. Looking at the actual patent, it seems likely that just about anyone who uses any kind of advanced log file analysis software probably violates this patent. How dare you analyze how visitors use your site without paying extra!
