Seagate Files Lawsuit over Trade Secrets

Seagate Files Lawsuit over Trade Secrets 08/06/2004 09:57 PM
Seagate Technology has filed a complaint in a Minnesota court attempting to prevent one of its ex-employees from joining Western Digital, a competitor.Pete Goglia recently left Seagate Technology LLC to join Western Digital Corp., where he will lead that company's read/write head development after serving at Seagate for 16 years. Seagate is attempting to block the hire, claiming that Goglia will not be able to avoid disclosing Seagate confidential information and trade secrets in the course of his new job.

"This is a situation in which one of our competitors has recently acquired the read/write head assets from a bankrupt supplier, and has stated their need to strengthen their capabilities in that technology," Dave Wickersham, Seagate's chief operating officer, said in a statement released late Friday. "We do not wish to impugn Mr. Goglia, but only to ensure that Western Digital does not build its new recording head capabilities with Seagate trade secrets."

Apple competes for multi-million dollar
school deal 01/06/2005 03:00 PM
With Hewlett-Packard dropping out of the race, Apple Computer, IBM and Dell are still in the running to obtain a deal with a school district in Georgia to supply more than 63,000 laptop computers. A report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Cobb County School District’s multimillion-dollar laptop computer proposal involves giving laptops to more than 63,000 teachers and middle and high school students at estimated cost of about $69.4 million over four years. Other expenses, including support, training and maintenance would have to be negotiated. The school system expects one-time costs of about $4.5 million to upgrade wireless capabilities in schools, plus additional or upgraded servers and server storage. Cost seems to be the major issue, with Cobb officials making no secret of their desire to pay $275 per machine – the same cost of Michigan's recent laptop contract with Hewlett-Packard. Cobb's undertaking would be one of the largest laptop programs in the United States if approved.

Copyright infringement appeal hearings

Copyright infringement appeal hearings 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

The American Ninth Circuit court has been listening to arguments about copyright infrigement and liability for filesharing applications, notably Grokster and Morpheus . A decision could shape the legal status of peer-to-peer tools for the near future.

The discussion has largely been framed in terms of the landmark 1984 Sony v Betamax case . This is an appeal for an earlier decision, where Grokster was found not liable for users' infrigements. Counsel for copyright holders argued that Betamax could be read to allow blame to be assigned to devices, and ended up considering Xerox liable for bad copying. Their opponents argued for substantial noninfringing usage, as per the Betamax decision.

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.

While House and Senate elected officials have made big deals out of the importance of intellectual property, it hasn't been on the radar screen of the Bush/Cheney administration... or has it? NBC got angry that the campaign released an online commercial for the President using footage from an interview done on NBC. The campaign insists they've done nothing wrong. Does that mean they're supporters of "fair use"? Chances are they've never actually thought about the issue, and this is yet another case of politicians who would push for more stringent intellectual property laws, while making sure to ignore them themselves when convenient.

Copyright Cartel Buying Another Federal
Anti-Infringement Law 05/27/2004 07:58 AM

Since law enforcement has nothing better to do, and since the victims of copyright infringement -- Hollywood studios and the music companies -- are obviously so strapped financially, Congress may soon order the Justice Department to use resources tracking file sharers and filing lawsuits against them. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.) As Declan McCullagh reports, legislation known as the "Pirate Act" is moving with light speed through Washington -- getting not even a hearing in committee before being sent to the full Senate. Sadly, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, who should know better, is part of this travesty; but he's running for reelection in a state where he couldn't lose if he tried, and apparently needs more money from Hollywood. Oh, and once the government files suit -- with huge penalties -- the copyright cartel companies will still be able to file their own suits. Nothing like piling on. I'm not endorsing rampant infringement for profit, the kind of activity that truly fits the term "piracy," such as the stamping out thousands of CDs or DVDs in Malaysian and Chinese factories that deserves to be stamped out, harshly. I'm not endorsing petty infringement, either, such as downloading songs you would otherwise have bought in a store. But this kind of legislation, turning the full force of the government against penny ante infringers, is far over the top. In times like these, when there are real criminals out there, it's insane.

The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities issued a report on filesharing and copyright infringement on college campuses. The group found that awareness of copyright problems had grown, and many solutions mounted.

Moreover, looking back over the past year ,

The recording industry has sued more than 3,000 computer users since September in a campaign to stem file-sharing... So far this year, 185 people at 35 universities were among those snared in the recording industry's lawsuit campaign, according to the report.
