iMesh Convinced By RIAA To Give Up

iMesh Convinced By RIAA To Give Up 07/20/2004 09:38 PM
This one seems quite strange. Despite pretty clear rulings in other cases that would seem to apply to iMesh, the file sharing company has given in concerning a lawsuit from the RIAA, agreeing to pay $4.1 million and to change their business model to one that doesn't involve file sharing anymore. The company has already changed their name to Bridgemar Services, and Mitch Bainwol of the RIAA is already trumpeting how this bulldozing of a perfectly legal offering is somehow "more constructive" than companies like Streamcast and Grokster standing up for their legal rights to offer an application that has both infringing and non-infringing uses. It seems very strange that iMesh decided to give in, and since they give no info on this new business model, it remains to be seen if there's more to this story, or if the company is simply giving up altogether.

RIAA Loses Power To Bully

RIAA Loses Power To Bully 01/16/2004 01:03 PM
Isn't it funny how, once a bully has been scolded by someone more powerful, they seem a lot more powerless? That's what ISPs are suddenly discovering about the RIAA. Following Verizon's win over the RIAA concerning subpoenas for those sharing music, the RIAA's latest tactic has been to send letters to various ISPs, asking them to send nastygrams to any users the RIAA identifies. The thinking is that, with all the lawsuits already in the news, these nastygrams will have the same impact as the lawsuits and get people to stop sharing music. The only problem is that the ISPs no longer seem afraid of the RIAA and aren't necessarily willing to roll over and take orders from the RIAA any more. Or, at least, they're not willing to publicly admit that they will. In the article there are a bunch of quotes from ISP spokespeople that basically seem to say "well, we don't want to say anything publicly, but we might agree to send on nastygrams."

Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop

Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop
Selling PlayStations In The US 03/28/2005 06:00 AM
If you're familiar with the word "haptics," you're familiar with the company Immersion. They're the company that seems to own every possible patent having to do with the haptics space, and any kind of tactile response or force feedback device usually involves patents that were first licensed from the company. So, in some ways, it's pretty impressive that Sony has gotten as far as it has apparently without licensing patents from the company. A court has found, however, that Sony's force feedback controllers for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 violate Immersion's patents and not only have they ordered the company to pay $90 million in damages, but also told Sony it can no longer sell either console in the US. Sony, of course, will appeal the ruling, which will allow them to keep selling the consoles in the meantime. Of course, this is the same Sony that keeps insisting on the importance of stricter intellectual property enforcement to teach violators a lesson. Funny what comes back to bite you...

It's not really that big a deal, as other courts have already said the same thing, but the RIAA has lost another case, saying that before they can subpoena ISPs for customer info, they first need to file a lawsuit. Since other courts have already told them this, that's what they've been doing lately. However, it does reaffirm previous rulings, and means the RIAA won't be able to point to split rulings to try to push their case further.

Toys R Us' sneaky trick loses in court

Toys R Us' sneaky trick loses in court 12/11/2003 05:00 PM
Eli the Bearded says: "This story of Louisiana winning a court tax battle is interesting to see the types of tax evasion big companies use.

"In this case Toys R Us advertises using a giraffe mascot named Geoffrey. But TRU does not own the rights to that mascot, instead Geoffrey, Inc (a TRU subsidiary) owns them. So the toy store "licenses" the trademark from Geoffrey, Inc, at a hefty rate, then calls that a business expense and deducts from its pre-tax income. Since GI isn't a Louisiana company, TRU argued that it doesn't need to pay LA taxes on it's income. The judge disagreed." Link

SBC Case Against The RIAA Transferred To
Same Court That Decided Against Verizon

SBC Case Against The RIAA Transferred To
Same Court That Decided Against Verizon 12/02/2003 12:12 AM
While SBC has been claiming that their case against the RIAA is somehow different from the Verizon case which the RIAA won, they're now going to have to convince the same court that their case really is different. Originally, the case was scheduled to be heard in California, which meant they weren't bound to the original Verizon ruling in Washington DC. However, the RIAA requested that the case be moved to DC, and the California court complied. This makes it much more difficult for SBC, who has to prove that the reasons they believe the RIAA has violated their customers' privacy is somehow different than the similar claims Verizon made last year.
