Grouper, a different form of P2P.
"The Grouper program does not allow file sharing of music, only streaming. However, you may share other types of files as a download. On the plus side for the persons sharing, Grouper allows the formation of mini networks with email verification. The advantage of this is no script kiddies or annoying fake files from the RIAA." You are sharing privately between friends.
Welc ome to the world of legal online music ambiguity. Say hello to Grouper.

RIAA CDs Start Landing at MLS


RIAA CDs Start Landing at MLS 08/20/2004 02:29 PM

Our CDs from the RIAA settlement have started coming in. We received 367 boxes yesterday and 503 more today. We're not sure if there will be more, but it seems likely since someone said we're supposed to get 30,000 CDs. We're still debating the best way to distribute them to our 86 public libraries, so I took the opportunity to browse through some of the boxes.

For the BMG boxes, I didn't have to open them at all. Each one has a label on the outside with the titles of the contents on the outside, 30 CDs to a box. If there was ever any doubt that libraries are receiving bargain bin CDs that couldn't even be sold through "12 for the price of 1" clubs, let them forever be dispelled now.

Several of the boxes are literally cut on the side, and the cut goes into the jewel cases themselves. Hence my declaration that we received a ton of "cut-outs." Some of the boxes even have dates of 2001 and 2002 posted on the labels, which I hope doesn't mean the date they were boxed up and put into storage. There is no way these boxes were packed by mistake as the result of a computer glitch. Some of the labels very clearly say 30 copies of this or that title, and I highly doubt the labels were supposed to cut the boxes after boxing and labeling them. I posted some pictures of the boxes and CDs as proof on The Shifted Librarian Moblog (specifically, here and here).

I'm not sure we're going to do an actual accounting of what we received, and the record labels certainly aren't providing us with packing lists (must have been too difficult when you're just shoving stuff out the door to the UPS truck), so we may never know the extent to which we helped clean their warehouses of excess stock. I'm not in on the decision for doing inventory or distribution for our shipment, so I'll post more when I know how it's going to play out.

<sarcasm>But hopefully we'll have at least a few libraries that need Whitney Houston's version of "The Star Spangled Banner," Denyce Graves' "American Anthem," and Jefferson Airplane's "The Roar of Jefferson Airplane." Yeah, that definitely makes up for cheating libraries out of money for all those years.</sarcasm>

RIAA Sues Again... As Promised


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.

Will The RIAA Sue Supernode Operators?


Will The RIAA Sue Supernode Operators? 04/20/2004 04:44 PM
Ed Felten is reporting that the music industry may be considering expanding their legal attack on file sharers by suing those users whose computers are "supernodes" for file sharing networks. If you're not familiar with how these file sharing networks work, they usually try to find a number of users who have strong connections, and turn them into an ad hoc "hub" of activity for searching for files. Even if a supernode is used for the search, the actual exchange of files takes place between the computers that have and want the files. The legal reasoning is that these supernodes, in effect, play the same role that Napster's centralized directory server played - which is why it was deemed illegal, while the next generation of file sharing programs was called legal since they had no centralized directory. The RIAA's lawyers realize that they can call the supernode users "directories" and get them in trouble for the same reason. Once again, though, if they go through with this, it will be a case of lawyerly thinking (we can sue and we can win) over business thinking (what's good for business), which would realize this would likely be a tremendous public relations nightmare. The main problem is that most supernode users have no idea they're a supernode. The system automatically chooses who will act as a supernode. So, you would have the industry accusing people of breaking the law because some software on their computer made a choice, and they may not have actually shared any illegal files at all.
