In a French government backed charter, French ISPs have agreed to “do their part” in the fight against music pirates. The ISPs are hoping that by participating in a charter such as this, it will prevent the eventual arrival of legislation such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act such as we have here in the U.S. If a music pirate is caught by their ISP, the ISP will “send warning messages to individual customers upon…

Sid Meier's Pirates!

Sid Meier's Pirates! 12/29/2004 01:03 AM

Fans of the original Pirates! game, which was originally released in 1987, have awaited the release with Sid Meier's Pirates! with both excitement and trepidation. There is always danger invovled in messing with a classic title, that of changing the game too much. Oftentimes consistency beats change, hands-down.

This remake of Pirates!, without going any further, is closely tied to another one of these wonderful tidbits. For years we have been saying in the forums, "I wish they had just redone it with better graphics!", when referring to those sequels that tried to reinvent the wheel and veered away from the solid and proven gameplay concepts of past iterations.

Julian Marcone sets sail with Sid Meier's Pirates! and lets you know if it's trash or buried treasure.

RIAA Turns Attentions to Internet2

RIAA Turns Attentions to Internet2 04/13/2005 04:36 AM
Students using the new superfast Internet2 connections at many US colleges to share music and films are being targeted by the RIAA in its latest blitz on piracy. More than 1.5 million files were being shared on the network, according to the association - terabytes of data said to be equivalent to an entire video-rental store.

The network is still mainly intended for research, but students connected up realised the benefits of being able to download songs in 20 seconds and films in five minutes. However, the RIAA was less impresed at this use for it and will today file lawsuits against 405 students at 18 collegs across the US.

Cary Sherman, RIAA President, said: "We cannot let this high-speed network become a zone of lawlessness where the normal rules don’t apply. By taking this initial action, we are putting students and administrators everywhere on notice that there are consequences for unlawful uses of this special network."

Much of the sharing goes through a DirectConnect-style program, i2hub. A service spokesman said yesterday: "The i2hub organization does not condone activities and actions that breach the rights of copyright owners. Our companies are focused on bringing together students and connecting them in ways never before achieved."

The Recording Industry Association of America announced it would file copyright infringement lawsuits against 405 college students on 18 different campuses across the United States today. This series of lawsuits focuses specifically on file swappers on the high speed Internet2 research network.

Felten: Why the RIAA is suing Internet2
users 04/13/2005 11:51 AM
Cory Doctorow: Yesterday the music industry announced lawsuits against users of a P2P file-sharing service that's optimized to run on Internet2 links, which are high-speed Internet links that mostly run between universities.

Ed Felten has a brilliant analysis of the strategy in suing Internet2 users: by painting it as a "specialized" network with centralized control, the recording industry can position new rules for Internet2 that will cope with the "new" problem of infringement on I2 links.

Of course, the music doesn't have a new problem on Internet2 -- MP3 copying doesn't need 400 megabit per second links to be effective. The problem of Internet2 P2P is identical to the problem of Internet P2P. But now the music industry can rattle its sabers and threaten the existence of systems optimized to move large files over high-speed links.

Given all of this, my guess is that the RIAA is pushing the Internet2 angle mostly for policial and public relations reasons. By painting Internet2 as a separate network, the RIAA can imply that the transfer of infringing files over Internet2 is a new kind of problem requiring new regulation. And by painting Internet2 as a centrally-managed entity, the RIAA can imply that it is more regulable than the rest of the Internet.

They will never learn, no I am not referring to the students I am referring to the RIAA. I am thinking go ahead keep on suing college kids and pissing off people who will probably never buy music in a music store again.

I am hoping that college kids across America start turning off traditional media and start tuning into independent music artist not under the control of the RIAA.

What is unique about these lawsuits is that they are going after college kids that have access to the very high speed network knowns as Internet2. I guess they can probably share music and more easier on these high speed networks. [DesignTechnica< /a>]

RIAA sues... (again): The RIAA has just issued a new lawsuit against 532 more "illegal filesharers" only this time, they're also using the "john doe" approach meaning that they dont have to have ascertain your name by strongarming ISPs, but by suing your IP address, they let the judicial system take care of that little detail.

RIAA Sues Again... As Promised 01/22/2004 03:09 AM
Realizing they'd lost a little momentum after the Verizon decision and noticing that file sharing is on the rise again, the RIAA still thinks that it can win the war by making a big publicity splash and suing people. The latest, is that they've filed 532 new lawsuits against people accused of offering music for download through file sharing networks. Because of the Verizon decision, these lawsuits are all filed against "John Doe" defendants, and they will now try to get legal subpoenas from ISPs to find out who these people are. Once again, this is more of a publicity campaign than a legal campaign, so it will be interesting to see if more stories of "falsely accused" people show up again.
