Programmer Sets Up Mask for File-Sharers

02/11/2004 01:22 AMAP - Wyatt Wasicek was so outraged by the recording industry's legal
assault on users of free music-downloading sites that he decided to
ride to the rescue. He created a program called AnonX that masks the
Internet address of people who use file-sharing programs such as
Kazaa.

02/18/2004 10:49 AMThe Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is continuing its
tactic of filing suits against anonymous "John Doe" computer users who
the organization accuses of illegally sharing copyright material over
peer to peer networks. The association filed lawsuits against 531
unnamed people on Tuesday, claiming that they are offering substantial
amounts of copyrighted music files for free. The legal actions were
filed in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando and Trenton, New Jersey, the
RIAA said.

Valenti Angry With Tarantino, Wants To
Sue File Sharers
05/17/2004 04:21 PMHow about a celebrity boxing match between Quentin Tarantino and Jack
Valenti? Last week Tarantino spoke at an "anti-piracy" conference and
made the case that
movie
piracy isn't so bad in many cases. However, by not sticking to
the script, Tarantino has apparently
upset
MPAA head Jack Valenti. It's a little unclear what was said, but
from the article linked here, it sounds like Valenti was threatening
Tarantino. He tells him that it's time to "get on-board" with the
industry's anti-piracy efforts. However, there doesn't appear to be
an "or else," which certainly makes it sound like quite the idle
threat. However, he's also threatening file sharers, and is basically
admitting that the MPAA is
likely to follow
in the RIAA's footsteps and start directly suing end users.
Valenti warns: "Suppose you can [download] a movie in five minutes,
piracy will explode like a pandemic." Mr. Valenti's track record in
such predictions isn't so hot. After all, he's the guy who predicted
the VCR would kill the movie industry just before it (oh, that's
right) saved the industry.

12/02/2003 03:09 AMEver since the recording industry started cracking down on file
sharers by going after them with lawyers, new services have been
popping up promising "anonymity" for anyone who uses them. Of course,
most don't give much proof for that claim, and you might want to think
twice before believing it. Two file sharers in Japan have apparently
been
arrested, despite using a supposedly anonymous service. They
don't say how they tracked these folks down, but it's making people
wonder just how anonymous these anonymous systems really are.

United States law enforcement agents
raided a series of servers allegedly hosting file-sharing
servers.
Operation D-Elite targeted sites supporting files using the BitTorrent protocol,
focusing especially on the
EliteTtorrents site. "Torrents" make files available in many
small sections, which increases uploading and downloading speeds.
The action follows a well-publicized complaint by the Motion
Picture Association of America ( MPAA ), who criticized the wide availability of torrent versions of
the new Star Wars movie.
The Justice Department wouldn't comment on how officials zeroed in on
Elitetorrent's biggest players, but ICE's Sevel credited the MPAA,
which somehow got a line on the site's server logs.
"The MPAA provided us with information that led us to the logs and
data for the servers ... the logs for the users as well as the uploads
and downloads," said [ICE supervisory agent Jim] Sevel. The
organization did not just provide a list of IP addresses of file
swappers -- which is easy to get on any peer-to-peer network -- but
found some of "the actual records from the server," Sevel
said.
The raids were carried out by several agencies acting in concert,
including Immigration and Customs
Enforcement and the FBI ,
organized by Homeland Security .

02/11/2004 02:36 AMIt should be no surprise to anyone that people who are still using
file sharing programs are going further underground to avoid being
threatened by the RIAA. Now, someone who is fed up with the RIAA's
tactics has
started a
VPN service, called AnonX, to hide the IP addresses of people using
file sharing systems. Instead, all requests are routed through
the company's (offshore) servers. He's charging $6/month for the
service, and claims that he can't be forced to divulge info on
subscribers, since the company is actually based in Vanuatu, the same
place Kazaa is based. Chances are he's going to get sued anyway.

Hollywood Creates Software For Automatic
Booting Of File Sharers
04/19/2004 01:38 PMThe folks in Hollywood are getting a bit more technical. Realizing
that it was taking some ISPs and university network administrators
some time to respond to their DMCA takedown notices when accusing file
sharers or illegal activity, Universal has
written up some
open source software that they're pushing on universities and ISPs
that would help automate the process of kicking them off the network.
The idea is that the studios could send out a notification, that would
automatically go into the system, send off an alert email to the user,
and then shut off their account until the "offending material" was
removed. Leaving aside the irony of Hollywood offering free open
source software (this is the same industry that is still telling
people "if it's free, you stole it"), it also seems to go a step
beyond what most people consider due process in making sure that those
kicked off from the network actually did something wrong.
