US federal court exempts peer-to-peer

After months of hearings and
consideration , the United
States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that
makers of peer-to-peer computer software (" P2P ") are
not liabile for damages concerning copyright infrigement.
The decision hewed to the 1984
Sony v. Betamax ruling , which exempted videocassette recorder
makers from copyright infringement, arguing that a tool isn't necessarily dangerous
if some of its uses are actionable. Instead the court recommended that intellectual
property owners pursue individual infringers. Additionally, defenders
of the p2p software argued that the decision
preserves privacy rights for users.

International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer
Knowledge Management (P2PKM)
06/04/2004 05:53 AMInternational Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Management
(P2PKM)http://www.p2pkm.org/Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has received significant attention from
the side of research labs and academia, largely due to the popularity
of commercialized P2P file sharing applications such as Napster,
Morpheus and KaZaa. In the P2P model, peers exchange data and/or
services in completely decentralized distributed manner. Peers are
autonomous, and are free to choose what other peers to interact with,
and, in this point-to-point interaction, peers possess equal
functional capabilities.
On the other hand, Knowledge
Management (KM) is increasingly viewed as a core capacity in order to
compete in the modern social and economic environment. Researchers and
practitioners agree that those intellectual assets that are embedded
in working practices, social relationships, and technological
artefacts constitute the only source of value that can sustain long
term differentiation, quality of services, innovation, and
adaptability. Nonetheless, even due to a debatable success of current
KM implementations, still unclear is how such matter should be managed
in highly complex, distributed, and heterogeneous settings.
In the last couple of years, P2P and KM have followed different but
converging paths. In fact, P2P technologies have left their initial
“computational”, “anarchoyd”, and spontaneous fashion to
embrace more service level domains and business settings. On the other
hand, KM is questioning its centralized assumption based on the
implicit belief that knowledge is managed successfully when it can be
standardized and controlled. In this sense, it seems that while P2P is
looking for value added domains to better exploit its technological
potential, KM is looking for a technological paradigm more able to fit
an emerging distributed organization of knowledge.
The
convergence of P2P and KM creates new challenges for researchers to
address: new methodologies to model, design, and deploy distributed KM
solutions; theories and algorithms to represent the social and
semantic dimensions of a knowledge network; mechanisms to cope with
the dynamic autonomous nature of P2P and to provide means to support
emergent network self-organization.

gsuda/SemPGRID042nd Workshop on Semantics in
Peer-to-Peer and Grid Computing at the
Thirteenth International World Wide Web
Conference 17-18 May 2004, New York, USA in cooperation with the
GGF Semantic Grid Research
Group (SEM-GRD)The Semantic Web is widely accepted as
a means to enhance the Web with machine processable content. However,
mostly the Semantic Web is aiming at techniques and technologies for
static information, in contrast to dynamic services or distributed
computing. Several interest groups and efforts are working on
infrastructure for enabling distributed computing. The organization of
these efforts are in part top down organized efforts, involving
multiple formal organizations and dedicated projects, and bottom-up
efforts, sometimes started by single organizations or individuals in a
grassroots effort.
The Grid is aiming at technologies which
allow the flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic
collections of individuals, institutions, and resources, enabling
virtual organizations. Problems encountered include authentication,
authorization, resource access, resource discovery, and interoperation
of active services. The same problems are eminent in the Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) area, where projects are typically organized in a bottom-up
fashion. Reusable infrastructures like SUN's JXTA are emerging,
attracting numerous applications. However, each application uses its
own data format, and it is hard to see how applications
interoperate.
A related area is Web Services: driven by
industry efforts numerous specifications are developed, which are of
interest for the Grid projects as well as for the Peer-to-Peer
efforts. Although there is an agreement that Web Services would
benefit from more semantics, little systematic research has been done
on the problem of how to combine the notions of Web Services with the
results of the Semantic Web, Peer-to-Peer and Grid computing.
The workshop will be organized in part around talks presenting
research results in the intersection of the Semantic Web, P2P and Grid
computing. Another important part of the workshop will be break-out
groups, focusing on the amalgamation of Semantic Web and distributed
computing. We hope the break-out groups will evolve into independent
working groups and generate follow-up activities, which contribute to
the technology areas. The proceedings will be published on the Web
and a workshop report will summarize the outcome of the break out
groups.

Peer-to-peer actually increasing record
sales?
07/22/2004 04:45 AMA new study suggests that Peer-to-peer music sharing has zero impact
in record sales, and in some cases it may even be positive, says
T
he Guardian. Not completely unsurprisingly, the music industry is
now really pissed off at even the mere suggestion.
To me it makes sense: I have bought several CDs just simply because a
friend recommended something to me, and then sent me the MP3. Then I
just rip the CD to Ogg Vorbis and dump it in iTunes... I
actually never listen to the physical CD these days anymore; most of
the CDs are used just once to get the data onto a hard drive. But I
still keep the CDs as backups.
My digital music collection is my music collection. My CDs are my
backups. I don't even have to burn them.
(And BTW: My CD player refuses to play about 10% of all the CDs I've
tried on it lately. But my PC can rip 100% of them. So it's easier
for me to actually rip the music than it's to play them on my ancient
DVD player. So much for "copy" protection.)

States Threaten Peer-to-Peer Sites
08/06/2004 09:50 AMSeveral states are cracking down on peer-to-peer sites as hotbeds of
illegal file-trading. Attorneys general from 47 U.S. states and
territories have sent a letter out to P-to-P software vendors, saying
they must re-engineer their software to prevent illegal file-trading
do a better job of warning users of the dangers of trading illegal
files. This action follows on
news earlier this year that the states might get
involved in the P-to-P fight.
The letter, signed by the attorneys general of California, Texas,
Florida, and many others, calls for P-to-P vendors to also warn users
about the amount of pornography traded through P-to-P software,
including child pornography. "P2P users need to be made aware
that they are exposing themselves, and their children, to widespread
availability of pornographic material when they download and install
P2P file-sharing programs on their computers," the letter says.
