ISP safe harbor advances: Verizon wins
RIAA appeal
12/20/2003 01:36 AM

In a case with implications for internet service providers (ISPs), such as colleges, Verizon won an appeal against the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ). The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that Verizon was not required to yield customer information to an intellectual property holder about an alleged copyright infringement, when the infringement used peer-to-peer ( p2p ) computing:

"We conclude that a subpoena may only be issued to an ISP engaged in storing on its servers material that is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity," the Appeals court ruled, further stating ISPs acting as a "mere conduit for the transmission of information" are not subject to the DMCA subpoenas.

The court did not take issue with the law under which the RIAA filed its claims, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ( DMCA , 1998). The court was very critical of the RIAA position, however, referring to one argument as "border[ing] on silly."

This case began when the RIAA requested information from Verizon about a customer, alleged to have copied numerous music files illegitimately.

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.

SBC Case Against The RIAA Transferred To
Same Court That Decided Against Verizon
12/02/2003 12:12 AM
While SBC has been claiming that their case against the RIAA is somehow different from the Verizon case which the RIAA won, they're now going to have to convince the same court that their case really is different. Originally, the case was scheduled to be heard in California, which meant they weren't bound to the original Verizon ruling in Washington DC. However, the RIAA requested that the case be moved to DC, and the California court complied. This makes it much more difficult for SBC, who has to prove that the reasons they believe the RIAA has violated their customers' privacy is somehow different than the similar claims Verizon made last year.

Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor???


Economy: A Financial Pearl Harbor??? 01/28/2004 06:41 PM
From The Connection's archives:  Robert Rubin on his new book (In an Uncertain World) and the economic well-being of the US.  Worth the time spent to listen to it.  While there is a risk of a financial melt-down (ie. due to a lack of job growth, historically high short term interest rates, etc.), the real problem is uncertainty.  Risk can be projected and compensated for (if you do get burned by risk, it's your fault).  Uncertainty can't be quantified or analyzed.  It can only guarded against by not placing yourself in a position where uncertainty can't topple you easily.  We are in a position where uncertainty can put us in a crunch in very short order.

For example, uncertainty is an event like 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq.This sequence of events were unanticipatable, in any reasonable way, but they have had a major impact on our financial status.Some other uncertainties that we have on our plate include a series of major terrorist attacks on US soil that negatively impact regional economies and confidence, a failure/quagmire in Iraq that drags on for years at an escalating cost and a global loss of confidence, and full war with North Korea.  Any of these events could cause the budget deficit to surge to unsustainable levels over an extended period, cause the US to lose its safe harbor status, and turn the rest of the world against us (not willing to help us when we are in crisis). 

This is exactly how we could convert (through our lack of preparedness) the risk of long-term financial crisis into a short term crisis.  Given this, why isn't fiscal responsibility a National Security issue???  If our economy collapses due to external uncertainties becoming real events, we would be hard pressed to defend ourselves.  We wouldn't be able to afford it. This is the national security issue of our time.
