RIAA Turns Attentions to Internet2

RIAA Turns Attentions to Internet2 04/13/2005 04:36 AM
Students using the new superfast Internet2 connections at many US colleges to share music and films are being targeted by the RIAA in its latest blitz on piracy. More than 1.5 million files were being shared on the network, according to the association - terabytes of data said to be equivalent to an entire video-rental store.

The network is still mainly intended for research, but students connected up realised the benefits of being able to download songs in 20 seconds and films in five minutes. However, the RIAA was less impresed at this use for it and will today file lawsuits against 405 students at 18 collegs across the US.

Cary Sherman, RIAA President, said: "We cannot let this high-speed network become a zone of lawlessness where the normal rules don’t apply. By taking this initial action, we are putting students and administrators everywhere on notice that there are consequences for unlawful uses of this special network."

Much of the sharing goes through a DirectConnect-style program, i2hub. A service spokesman said yesterday: "The i2hub organization does not condone activities and actions that breach the rights of copyright owners. Our companies are focused on bringing together students and connecting them in ways never before achieved."

Cory Doctorow: Cary Sherman, President of the RIAA, gave a talk and press conference last night at a college in the Carolinas, in which student journos grilled him about the lawsuits the RIAA has brought against Internet2 users:

Question: Jennifer Kulig, The Burr, Kent State University: How does the RIAA detect Internet2 users?

Cary Sherman: For obvious reasons, we don't reveal that information.

Felten: Why the RIAA is suing Internet2
users 04/13/2005 11:51 AM
Cory Doctorow: Yesterday the music industry announced lawsuits against users of a P2P file-sharing service that's optimized to run on Internet2 links, which are high-speed Internet links that mostly run between universities.

Ed Felten has a brilliant analysis of the strategy in suing Internet2 users: by painting it as a "specialized" network with centralized control, the recording industry can position new rules for Internet2 that will cope with the "new" problem of infringement on I2 links.

Of course, the music doesn't have a new problem on Internet2 -- MP3 copying doesn't need 400 megabit per second links to be effective. The problem of Internet2 P2P is identical to the problem of Internet P2P. But now the music industry can rattle its sabers and threaten the existence of systems optimized to move large files over high-speed links.

Given all of this, my guess is that the RIAA is pushing the Internet2 angle mostly for policial and public relations reasons. By painting Internet2 as a separate network, the RIAA can imply that the transfer of infringing files over Internet2 is a new kind of problem requiring new regulation. And by painting Internet2 as a centrally-managed entity, the RIAA can imply that it is more regulable than the rest of the Internet.

They will never learn, no I am not referring to the students I am referring to the RIAA. I am thinking go ahead keep on suing college kids and pissing off people who will probably never buy music in a music store again.

I am hoping that college kids across America start turning off traditional media and start tuning into independent music artist not under the control of the RIAA.

What is unique about these lawsuits is that they are going after college kids that have access to the very high speed network knowns as Internet2. I guess they can probably share music and more easier on these high speed networks. [DesignTechnica< /a>]

Dead, Non-Computer Owner Sued By The
RIAA For Swapping 700 Songs 02/05/2005 09:49 PM
There have been plenty of stories about the entertainment industry threate ning completely innocent people, but now they're getting even worse. According to Broadband Reports among the people sued in the latest batch of lawsuits from the RIAA was an 83-year-old woman who is now deceased. Even when she was alive she never owned a computer, let alone had the username "smittenedkitten," or shared over 700 songs online. The RIAA responds, oh so politely, by saying they'll now dismiss the case. However, that's not the real issue. All of these examples show that the RIAA doesn't really know who's doing what -- and yet they're filing tons of indiscriminate lawsuits. Every time a screwup like this happens, they apologize and remove the lawsuit, but shouldn't they be punished for filing frivolous lawsuits? It's clear that they really don't have the right tools to be able to tell who actually committed a crime. A smart lawyer should use these cases to show that the industry has no real evidence that any of these lawsuits are valid.
