And Now, The Dean Sympathy Wave?

And Now, The Dean Sympathy Wave? 01/23/2004 02:21 PM
But people are beginning to realize that Dean's Iowa outburst, albeit a self-inflicted wound, doesn't deserve to be the biggest news of this campaign. And a backlash is brewing as a result, thanks to my media brethren who a) won't let it go and b) keep failing to give other candidates the same level of harsh scrutiny we've been giving Dean.

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work?

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work? 11/18/2003 01:52 PM
Okay, we've seen all sorts of bizarre legal excuses to get people off from charges of computer related crimes, but now people are combining that with psychologists' tendency to call everything an addiction. A guy in Germany who was fired from his job for (a) running up a huge internet bill charged to his office while (b) surfing porn at work has the guts to claim he's an online porn addict, and as such deserves "understanding", and not a pink slip. Now, certainly, there are people with problems who need to understanding and therapy, but this seems to be going too far. Why is it that no one can ever take responsibility for their own actions any more?

Supreme Court Shows Little Sympathy for
P2P Networks

Supreme Court Shows Little Sympathy for
P2P Networks 03/29/2005 02:15 PM
Judges yesterday attacked the business models of file-sharing companies as the case which could effectively spell out the future for many peer-to-peer programs got under way. The Supreme Court questioned attorneys for both the firms and Hollywood studios - and also criticised the entertainment industry's proposal that those behind the software "predominantly" supported by piracy should be held liable for copyright infringement.

Record labels and film studios are facing off against Grokster and StreamCast in the courtroom, after two federal courts ruled in favour of P2P. They said the software should be looked at in the same way as a VCR or a photocopier as it has legal uses - however, the labelsand studios say the software has been built on, and is mainly used for, illegal downloads.

Ronald Katz, a copyright attorney with Manatt, Phelps & Philips, told CNet: "I think the court is going to affirm (the lower-court rulings). This doesn't fit in with the way copyright law is written. But it's not surprising that the law doesn't fit with something that didn't exist at the time the law was made."

The case has already been going on for some five years, and as Neowin previously reported, the file-sharing side has won support from internet billionaire Mark Cuban. However, Justice Anthony Kennedy told the firms: "What you are suggesting is unlawful expropriation of property as a kind of start-up capital. From an economic standpoint and legal standpoint, that sounds wrong." Many protesters turned up to support the software firms - but some were on the other side of the divide, with a group of musicians saying they were there to give a human face to the cost of illegal downloading. "When we don't get paid, we can't pay our rent," said Erin Enderlin, one of the songwriters.
