Rampant Piracy Threatens to Silence
Latin Music Industry (Los Angeles Times) 07/06/2004 05:21 AM
Los Angeles Times - MEXICO CITY — They have been compared to the Rolling Stones for their longevity and legions of loyal fans. They've sold tens of millions of albums in Latin America. Now the seminal Mexican rock group El Tri is getting dumped by its record label. The reason: Bootleggers are the only ones profiting.

Is Downloading TV Shows Legal?

Is Downloading TV Shows Legal? 08/11/2004 02:35 AM
Salon is running a piece on how many people are sharing and downloading TV shows using tools like BitTorrent, some going a bit further than the original broadcat ching concept to create applications, like Buttress designed specifically as an RSS aggregator for BitTorrented TV shows. The article delves into one interesting issue that not too many people have discussed: is downloading a publicly broadcasted TV show illegal? As the article notes, it would be very difficult to show any kind of "harm" from such a download. Obviously, sharing premium content shows is a different issue, but what if someone already subscribes to the premium station in question? The real issue is that the TV industry suddenly has less control. There is also the fact that with the way BitTorrent works, anyone downloading a show is also automatically uploading a show -- but, again, this is a situation where the entertainment industry appears to be shooting themselves in the foot. For years, they've tried to come up with systems for TV-on-demand, and here's a way that users have figured out how to do it for them. The people downloading TV shows via BitTorrent are watching more TV, which should be good for the industry. Unfortunately, the industry still only thinks in terms of how much they control, rather than how much they can serve the needs of their viewers. It's amazing that the industry is so good at missing every opportunity that seems to come its way. Unfortunately, the industry also seems to view intellectual property law as a way of protecting business models, rather than protecting content. That they can't see a new opportunity staring them in the face speaks volumes about the sorts of "business" minds running the entertainment industry.

The Motion Picture Association of America Inc. (MPAA) warned against a "growing global epidemic" of movie piracy over the Internet this week, citing a survey of Internet users in which nearly one in four respondents had illegally downloaded a movie online. The study, conducted by online research company OTX, queried 3,600 Net users in eight countries, and was cited by the MPAA as the harbinger of the tough times the industry faces ahead in grappling with online piracy.

Legal downloading growing rapidly

Legal downloading growing rapidly 12/02/2003 12:16 AM

Users are downloading copyrighted files through authorized, for-pay services at a rapidly expanding rate . A new study from Ipsos-Insight describes a variety of users increasingly choosing to pay for downloads , a hitherto rare event.

[R]oughly one out of six (16%) American downloaders aged 12 and older had paid a fee to download music or MP3 files off of the Internet. This translates into roughly 10 million people within the current U.S. population (according to 2000 U.S. Census figures).

“A twofold increase in the number of American downloaders exposed to for-pay music downloads in just a six month timeframe (compared 8% in December 2002 and 13% in April 2003) signals a remarkable shift in downloader behavior,” said Matt Kleinschmit, Director for Ipsos-Insight, and author of the TEMPO research .

This study comes as some colleges consider supporting legal download services on campus.

Actual piracy on rise, response
orthagonal to RIAA's response to
"piracy"` 01/27/2004 07:32 PM
Actual piracy is on the rise. That is to say, more people are boarding more ships with more guns and shooting more people and taking more cargo, all the while uttering more horrible cries of "ARRRRR."

Strangely, the shipping industry's response isn't to keelhaul passengers who don't tip well on ocean cruises, or to hull random pleasure boats, or to demand special bow-mounted lasers that vaporize any ship that gets within a hundred miles.

Around the world, more than 20 sailors are known to have been murdered by pirates last year.

Seventy are missing, presumed dead.

Other trends are also emerging: ships are now less likely to be hijacked for their cargo; attackers, possibly from militant groups, are seizing ships and ransoming their crew.

Secrecy Run Rampant

Secrecy Run Rampant 09/08/2004 10:00 PM

DefenseTech: Satellite Pics Going Dark. You might be able to see the hurricanes heading for Florida. Maybe. But just about all other commercial satellite imagery could be put off-limits, if a new Senate bill goes through as planned. The measure, "Nondisclosure of Certain Products of Commercial Satellite Operations," would exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) unclassified, commercial satellite pictures bought up by the government, as well as "any... other product that is derived from such data."

The mania for governmental secrecy is one of the more dangerous outgrowths of 9/11. This law, if passed, would ratchet up the hiding of formerly public information another degree. Does Congress ever read the laws it votes on?

Data Mining by Government Rampant

Data Mining by Government Rampant 05/28/2004 12:46 PM

The General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, has issued a new report showing that government agencies are using data-mining in all kinds of ways and without any serious scrutiny for abuse. It's all in the name of protecting against terrorism, but the wider use of these techniques is blatantly obvious, and dangerous. And this report doesn't have anything about what the CIA and NSA are doing, because they didn't bother to respond to Congress on this question. Secrecy rules if you're the government. Privacy is dying if you're not the government. This is a dangerous imbalance.
