How Big (Or Small) Was The Verizon Win
Over RIAA Subpoenas? 12/22/2003 04:09 PM
While lots of people were celebrating on Friday when the Appeals Court overturned the rulings against Verizon and said that the RIAA had to file lawsuits before they could get subpoenas for customer info from ISPs, many people were realizing that this wasn't that big a victory. Lots of us expect that the RIAA will just get its friends in Congress to amend the DMCA to change the law to include these types of subpoenas (though, I still think opening up the DMCA for amending is a risky thing for them to do, as it could backfire on the RIAA). Others point out that all this really means is that the RIAA will now file John Doe lawsuits first, which will compel the ISPs to reveal the names anyway. The difference here, though, is that the RIAA can get in a lot more trouble if it comes to light that they're filing a number of frivolous lawsuits, rather than just filing bad subpoenas.

Okay, okay, I'll post the story of the morning. Everyone has been submitting the fact that the three judge panel in the Court of Appeals has decided that the RIAA doesn't have the right to subpoena internet providers for names of file sharers. They actually read through the DMCA and realized that it was only supposed to apply to people hosting content on the service providers computers - and not accessing the internet via the service providers. The ruling basically says, "well, the DMCA didn't realize that there was the possibility of file sharing and doesn't cover it." One judge even states that the RIAA's claim "borders upon the silly." Of course, what this probably means is that the RIAA's lapdogs in Congress will quickly pass an amended DMCA which includes a provision for file sharing. Of course, opening up the DMCA for discussion might be dangerous, as it's possible that some others might push for things to go in the opposite direction. Still, it's good to see that a few judges seem to actually get what's going on. This overtur ns the earlier District Court opinion concerning Verizon that started the whole subpoena craze, and now makes it a good sign that the similar SBC case was moved to the same District Court who now has some more "guidance" from above. Update: Here's the full decision (pdf format).

Appeals Court Rules For Grokster 08/19/2004 02:20 PM
While Senator Hatch is trying to overturn the original decision that said file sharing programs weren't liable for copyright infringement that occurred on their networks, the Appeals Court has upheld the original ruling. The Reuters report only has two paragraphs now, but I'm assuming it will be expanded with details. Once again, it looks like the courts have been able to understand the difference between a person doing something illegal, and a company that provides a tool. This ruling isn't a huge surprise, of course. During the trial, the judges made it clear they weren't buying the entertainment industry's version of the story, when the judge told the RIAA lawyer: "Let me say what I think your problem is. You can use these harsh terms, but you are dealing with something new, and the question is, does the statutory monopoly that Congress has given you reach out to that something new. And that's a very debatable question. You don't solve it by calling it 'theft.' You have to show why this court should extend a statutory monopoly to cover the new thing. That's your problem. Address that if you would. And curtail the use of abusive language."

Great news for VoIP companies! Internet Week is reporting that VoIP providers will be able to remain free from state regulation. The final decision was rendered in thanks by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis. It seems that their ability to escape the potential regulation comes from the simple fact that VoIP is not considered to be a true telephone service….
