DirecTV Helps TiVo

DirecTV Helps TiVo 12/11/2003 04:57 PM
DirecTV helps TiVo... but not TiVo users. While CNET reports that TiVo's partnership with DirecTV has driven subs up to the 1 million mark, my poor DirecTiVo satellite/DVR combo is orphaned sans the Home Media Option and any of the cool new software features (e.g. folders)--and, indeed, any software updates to speak of--appearing on the standalone Tivo boxes. The Web-based recording and ability to stream audio from my MP3 store to my hifi via TiVo were the very reasons I upgraded to a Series 2 TiVo. Sure is nice to see TiVo doing so well though; mind you, I do mean that--this particular beef is with DirecTV.

DirecTV Reins in the Legal Attack Dogs

In one of the uglier "intellectual property" abuses, DirecTV has been suing people for possession of tools it claims can be used to get TV shows without paying for them. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society have challenged the satellite TV company on this conduct, and on Monday DirecTV agreed to modify its approach, according to this press release, which says in part:

The company will no longer pursue people solely for purchasing smart card readers, writers, general-purpose programmers, and general-purpose emulators. It will maintain this policy into the forseeable future and file lawsuits only against people it suspects of actually pirating its satellite signal. DirecTV will, however, continue to investigate purchasers of devices that are often primarily designed for satellite signal interception, nicknamed “bootloaders” and “unloopers.”

DirecTV also agreed to change its pre-lawsuit demand letters to explain in detail how innocent recipients can get DirecTV to drop their cases. The company also promised that it will investigate every substantive claim of innocence it receives. If purchasers provide sufficient evidence demonstrating that they did not use their devices for signal theft, DirecTV will dismiss their cases. EFF and CIS will monitor reports of this process to confirm that innocent device purchasers are having their cases dismissed.

Perhaps DirecTV saw some writing on the wall. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court has ruled that the company can't sue solely because someone possesses such equipment.

These are the kinds of stories that make me sometimes wish I lived in America. Good job EFF and Stanford Law School.

EFF Gets DirecTV To Stop Extortion
Program

EFF Gets DirecTV To Stop Extortion
Program 06/15/2004 03:32 AM
It only took a few years of pressure, but DirecTV is backing down from their policy of extortion when it comes to anyone who has bought a smart card reader. The situation, in case you hadn't followed the case, was that DirecTV got access to the sales lists of some companies that sold smart card readers - which can be used to create cards for illegally accessing satellite TV. Of course, there are other, perfectly legitimate, reasons why someone might want a smartcard reader as well - but DirecTV didn't really care. Instead, they sent out threatening letters, demand ing $3,500 or filing a lawsuit, where you would need to prove your innocence, rather than have DirecTV show you had actually done something illegal. Last year, the EFF got involved in the case, and it appears they've convinced DirecTV to back off. They say they will "no longer sue or threaten to sue people merely for possessing smart card devices." They'll also make it easier for anyone they contact to prove their innocence prior to the case going to court. Of course, this doesn't solve the legal problems of many who have been hounded over the past few years by DirecTV.

As DirecTV continues their campaign to threate n anyone who bought a smart card reader, even if they did so for completely legitimate reasons, it looks like some more evidence is coming out against them. A former employee working in their anti-piracy division is now suing the company suggesting they forced him to do illegal and unethical things in forcing innocent people to pay up. He says he felt like "a bag man for the mob" and talks about how the anti-piracy operation "was an elaborate extortion racket," that rewarded employees based on how much settlement revenue they brought in. He points out that this encouraged them to work as hard as possible to make everyone pay up, whether or not they had done anything illegal.

DirecTV has announced plans to add four new satellites to their constellation, which once fully launched an integrated by early 2007, will allow them to broadcast up to 1,500 HDTV channels. The first two, Spaceway 1 and Spaceway 2 (if you care to get personal) should go up by next year, and will add 500 HD channels. With terrestrial broadcasting seeming to drop the ball on HD broadcasts, cable and satellite television may be the great hope for widespread adoption of the high-quality format.

Ask Jeeves Being Purchased

Ask Jeeves Being Purchased 03/22/2005 04:23 PM

Cnet is reporting that Ask Jeeves is being purchased by Interactive Corp. Ask Jeeves runs ask.com, excite.com, and iwon.com along with it’s own search engine website. Interactive Corp owns Expedia.com, ticketmaster.com, match.com, and citysearch. Interactive Corp is run by Barry Diller. Cnet says ..

Ask Jeeves differs from other search engines in that it responds to plain English questions such as "What is March Madness?" rather than simple keyword searches. That was one of the elements of the company that made it most appealing as an acquisition target, Diller said.

"We believe that in the future (Ask Jeeves) has the potential to become one of the great brands on the Internet and beyond," Diller said in a statement. "And by beyond we mean in wireless, (and) in the search for anything on any device."

The search company, known for the butler figure that serves as its emblem, will operate as an independent business unit with operations headquartered in Oakland, Calif., following completion of the acquisition. If the deal passes regulatory scrutiny and gains approval of Ask Jeeves' shareholders, IAC said it expects to close the transaction late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter.

The Systems & Computer Technology Corporation ( SCT ) was purchased by Sungard Public Sector and Nonprofit Systems for more than $500 million.

No changes of leadership or immediate operations are planned. Formally, for the transfer of ownership to take place, the SCT board's approval is required, and federal antitrust scrutiny passed.

SCT software is widely used by colleges for administrative data.

Sungard has been expanding its educational holdings since 1999. Most recently it purchased the FAME data services enterprise.
