Grokster File-Sharing Case Hits The
Supreme Court 03/31/2005 12:35 PM
The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday from representatives of major film studios and the recording industry who are seeking to shut down peer-to-peer services they say are costing them billions of dollars. One of the questions the court kept coming back to was this: What's more important — preventing potential copyright violations or allowing the market to come up with innovative new products?

The case began when MGM and several record labels filed suit against StreamCast Networks and file-sharing network Grokster, arguing that they were intentionally created to allow people to illegally trade copyrighted material. That case was thrown out by a circuit court in August, paving the way for it to be argued in front of the Supreme Court. "The scale of the whole thing is mind-boggling," argued recording industry lawyer Donald Verrilli. "They intentionally built a network of infringing users."

The File Sharing Experiment

The File Sharing Experiment 08/05/2004 12:38 PM

The File Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry. Folks are encouraged to post purchases they've made and a short explanation of how they learned about the band/movie/game and why they ended up buying something for it. All the evidence is anectdotal, but when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in reported sales and the site has been up for one week.

Personally, this was the point I tried to make in the heyday of Napster. You could find anything on Napster, but rarely could you find complete albums, so the service had the effect of promoting CD sales. I would often surf others' music lists whenever I noticed things I liked, download the things I hadn't ever heard of, then I'd end up buying CDs from Amazon.

File-sharing Goes Social

File-sharing Goes Social 01/07/2004 02:52 PM
The RIAA has taken us on a tour of networking strategies in the last few years, by constantly changing the environment file-sharing systems operate in. In hostile environments, organisms often adapt to become less energetic but harder to kill, and so it is now. With the RIAA's waves of legal attacks driving experimentation with decentralized file-sharing tools, file-sharing networks have progressively traded efficiency for resistance to legal attack.

The RIAA has slowly altered the environment so that relatively efficient systems like Napster were killed, opening up a niche for more decentralized systems like Gnutella and Kazaa. With their current campaign against Kazaa in full swing, we are about to see another shift in network design, one that will have file sharers adopting tools originally designed for secure collaboration in a corporate setting. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/file-sharing_social.html

Faux File-Sharing

Faux File-Sharing 01/05/2005 11:29 AM

What consumers want—an out-of-box way to share and transmit files between different storage media and computers (and users)—is exactly what manufacturers don't want to give them, but they'll tease us a little. So, if you're really rich, DigitalDeck Entertainment Network is busting out an in-home network PC to gear to DVD sharing system that costs $4000 - $5000. It probably consists of a bunch of cables and a universal remote that your geeked-out younger brother could hack together himself.

washingtonpost.com - It's move-in day for freshmen at the University of Maryland's College Park campus and the narrow lawn outside Denton Hall is strewn with piles of suitcases, bedding and Dell computer boxes. If recent history is any guide, the smiling teens wandering amid the makeshift encampments are primed to join the next generation of hard-core music pirates who'll raid Internet file-swapping networks for hundreds of thousands of illegally copied songs over the next four years.

File Sharing Against Censorship

File Sharing Against Censorship 04/09/2004 04:04 PM
In the early days of the web, there was lots of talk about how it would help usher in democracy and bring down dictatorships, because information could not be contained. Turned out that wasn't exactly true, as places like China do a pretty good job (though, certainly not perfect) containing information online. So now, more people are starting to look at ways to use file sharing as a news delivery system that is much more difficult to block than typical file sharing. This isn't all that new, but making such programs easier to use would go a long way towards getting this to work. In fact, why not combine the concept with a news aggregator of some kind, so that the news you're reading is automatically available to everyone else using the software.

Online file swapping endures: What, exactly, is eDonkey?

Despite entertainment industry attempts to curb online song and movie swapping with lawsuits and education campaigns, more people than ever are using peer-to-peer services.

BigChampagne, which tracks Internet file sharing, says 8.3 million people were online at any one time in June using unauthorized services like Kazaa and eDonkey — up 19% from 6.8 million in June 2003.

The majority of files being traded were music, BigChampagne says. Porn videos and images were the second-biggest category.

File-sharing app eDonkey comes to Mac OS
X 06/29/2004 01:58 PM
eDonkey announced on Tuesday that its peer-to-peer file-sharing software is coming to Mac OS X. Previously, Mac support was available only through a text-based command line interface in the software. eDonkey links every client on the network with each other, allowing them to search within both the entire network and a subset of it. Users can also download files from multiple users simultaneously and automatically continue interrupted downloads during their next session, in addition to the ability to send private messages to other users. The eDonkey application is not finalized for Mac OS X yet, but you can download a Beta of either the free or paid version from the developer's Web site. Both require Mac OS X v10.2 or higher and 64MB RAM; the free version has limited features and displays ads when you use it.

File Sharing Goes Mobile

File Sharing Goes Mobile 09/08/2004 02:29 PM
With all these different music download stores and file sharing apps, it was only a matter of time before everything started to go mobile. I recently wrote up an article at TheFeature about all the various music download offerings for mobile phones, but it looks like some are already going beyond that to offer some form of "file sharing" as well. EMI has talked about mobile file sharing in the past, but it seemed pretty watered down. Recently, Wippit, makers of an increasingly popular DRM technology that encourages limited file sharing announced plans to offer mobile file sharing by letting users get around many wireless carriers by sending the file in response to an SMS message. The latest, though, is that SK Telecom is showing off a mobile file sharing system in Korea that will let users swap music files, ringtones, videos and more via their 3G network. They admit that it has no copy protection at all, and even say, "we're not thinking about that type of problem." It's not clear if that's because they never plan to actually launch it, or they just don't care. Given that the recording industry in Korea wanted to sue wireless carriers for offering MP3 playing phones (even after they agreed to forcibly degrade the sound quality), you have to wonder how long such an application would remain on the market. Still, it's been said many times before: it's only a matter of time until a real Napster-style file sharing app is written for mobile phones, whether by the carriers themselves or (more likely) independently. And still, everyone in the wireless and music industry seems to ignore this potential problem and insist that overpriced ringtone revenue will be around forever.
