How The Copyright Gap Harms The Content
Delivery Industry
08/02/2004 04:42 AM

Tim Wu is subbing for Lawrence Lessig on his own blog, and comes up with an interesting theory about how different forms of regulation impact the telephony and content industries in different ways -- something he labels as a "copyright gap." Basically, the argument is that the government seems to favor new entrants in the telecom world, which has created success stories like Vonage and Skype, where they can come up with new innovations in order to compete, without (for the most part) worrying about government regulations holding them back. However, in the content industry, government regulations tend towards favoring the incumbents heavily, such that companies need to ask permission to innovate, because the content industry has somehow convinced politicians that any innovation will completely destroy, rather than reinvent the industry. It's for this reason that Wu believes VoIP and email have succeeded while interactive TV and internet libraries have faltered.

Kazaa To Sue Entertainment Industry For
Copyright Infringement


Kazaa To Sue Entertainment Industry For
Copyright Infringement
01/23/2004 02:23 PM
In a move that seems likely to backfire on them partly out of the audacity of the move, Sharman Networks, the company behind Kazaa, can now sue record labels and Hollywood studios for copyright infringement. We had briefly mentioned this case back in September, but now it's been given permission to move forward. Sharman claims that the entertainment companies violated copyright law by using Kazaa Lite (which is not actually associated with Kazaa) to get on the network and monitor the file trading that was occurring. At the same time, they claim that those same companies broke the terms of service of Kazaa by sending threatening instant messages to file traders, warning them that they were distributing unauthorized music files. Sharman clearly has a stronger copyright case against the industry than the industry does against them (in that they're actually accusing the companies of copyright violation, rather than just "facilitating" copyright violations) - but, it still seems like a long shot that could reflect badly on them in their other efforts.

01/23/2004 02:45 AM

The Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) filed more than five hundred lawsuits against filesharers for alleged copyright infringement.

Because a recent federal appeals court decision prevents subpoenas citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act from being issued prior to the filing of lawsuits, defendants were identified only by their IP addresses pending subpoenas being issued to their ISPs.

This appears to be a successor to last year's subpoena campaign , which probably helped reduce aggregate file-trading in 2003 .

How The Content Industry Is Trying To
Prevent TiVo From Innovating


How The Content Industry Is Trying To
Prevent TiVo From Innovating
07/22/2004 12:57 PM
It's an innovation that TiVo should have done years ago, and which others have already hacked their TiVo to do, or setup other systems which allowed it, but now that TiVo wants to let users transfer what they record to other devices, the content industry is freaking out. Among those complaining is the NFL, who is worried that someone will use this system to send a copy of a game to an area where TV coverage is "blacked out." As TiVo points out, it would take 144 hours to transfer a game at this point. That's a bit misleading, of course, as bandwidth is getting faster, but the system TiVo is designing seems clearly set up to limit unauthorized copying. If someone actually goes through the trouble of getting a football game in a "blacked out" zone, does it really matter that much? For the most part, what TiVo is doing would allow more people to view the commercials that help the TV industry make money. Of course, the end result, like everything the entertainment industry tries to block, is that people will continue to hack their way to do this anyway, and the entertainment industry will have even less control. Once again, with their short-term thinking they're shooting their own businesses in the foot.

Some Important Trends The Wireless
Content Industry Is Missing


Some Important Trends The Wireless
Content Industry Is Missing
09/23/2004 03:21 AM
VC Martin Tobias has been thinking about mobile content a lot lately and has written up some short, but worth reading, items that show why many companies in the mobile content business are heading down the wrong path. First, the realization that the purpose of a mobile phone is to interact with others. Everyone who is viewing the mobile phone as another device to receive broadcast style content pushed from content providers isn't going to get very far. People buy mobile phones to connect with each other -- by voice or by text (and, in a few cases, by photo or video). Thus, any content solution needs to be about helping people better communicate, not blasting them with broadcast content. That is, the successful solutions are about helping people create their own content and sharing it with others. Second, for those who believe mobile content is going to make money because the carriers are keeping the garden walls closed, those garden walls are crumbling. People don't want to pay for the same information they already get (for free, no less) on their home computer. How many times do we hear that people will pay again for news, sports, stocks and weather? They won't, because they won't have to. While full internet access is coming to mobile phones, the same info you access online will be available on phones. However, even more to the point, he's pointing out the problem with copy protection. If I buy a song, I should have bought that song to play on any device, whether it's a CD player, my computer, my portable music player, my watch, my phone or who knows where else. The way the carriers (and the recording industry) view things right now, they expect people to buy multiple times -- and that's not going to happen, and that means a lot of companies who think they're going to make money delivering content to mobile phones won't be so lucky.

Mobile Phone Radiation Harms DNA, New
Study Finds
12/22/2004 01:23 AM
Radio waves from mobile phones harm body cells and damage DNA in laboratory conditions, according to a new study majority-funded by the European Union, researchers said on Monday. The so-called Reflex study, conducted by 12 research groups in seven European countries, did not prove that mobile phones are a risk to health but concluded that more research is needed to see if effects can also be found outside a lab.

The $100 billion a year mobile phone industry asserts that there is no conclusive evidence of harmful effects as a result of electromagnetic radiation. About 650 million mobile phones are expected to be sold to consumers this year, and over 1.5 billion people around the world use one. The research project, which took four years and which was coordinated by the German research group Verum, studied the effect of radiation on human and animal cells in a laboratory.

Canadian Copyright Board allows

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies
12/14/2003 12:27 PM

The Copyright Board of Canada issued a ruling on " private copying ", largely via peer-to-peer computing, with several components. First, downloading is acceptable, but uploading is not (presumably to target hyperpirates). Second, new mechanisms for levies were described, freezing current ones, allowing new charges.

the Copyright Board said uploading or distributing copyrighted works online appeared to be prohibited under current Canadian law. However, the country's copyright law does allow making a copy for personal use and does not address the source of that copy or whether the original has to be an authorized or noninfringing version, the board said.
