European music swappers face lawsuits 12/16/2003 11:21 AM
While Canadian authorities are legalizing peer-to-peer music swapping, the IFPI, the international recording industry group, is warning that lawsuits similar to those the RIAA has filed against illegal music swappers in the U.S. are likely to start next year. Neilsen/NetRatings reports suggest that more Europeans are using services like Kazaa than Americans, with 9.35 million Europeans accessing the Kazaa network in October of this year, versus 8.24 million Americans.

AP - A woman in Milwaukee and her ex-boyfriend are under orders to pay thousands to the recording industry. A man in California refinanced his home to pay an $11,000 settlement. A year after it began, the industry's legal campaign against Internet music piracy is inching through the federal courts, producing some unexpected twists.

Music industry files hundreds of new
copyright lawsuits 01/23/2004 02:45 AM

The Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) filed more than five hundred lawsuits against filesharers for alleged copyright infringement.

Because a recent federal appeals court decision prevents subpoenas citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act from being issued prior to the filing of lawsuits, defendants were identified only by their IP addresses pending subpoenas being issued to their ISPs.

This appears to be a successor to last year's subpoena campaign , which probably helped reduce aggregate file-trading in 2003 .

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits 04/20/2004 10:11 AM

Linspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's resolve by announcing LPhoto and LSongs . Two applications that bear more than a little resemblence to iPhoto and iTunes. Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take too much research to find that they take their intellectual property very seriously. Unlike their last battle with Microsoft, I have a feeling they'll get to keep the names, but the apps will no doubt look vastly different by the time they are released.

Wow: thi s one from Damien Barret:

"Color me not surprised. It appears that Microsoft is paying SCO to file all those ridiculous lawsuits against the users of Linux. I've seen low before, but this is pretty damn low. Scumsucking low."

I have no idea if any of that is true, but, it's truly sad that I could easily believe it's true... that's how much I trust the Microsoft corporate brand.

Are The RIAA Lawsuits Working?

Are The RIAA Lawsuits Working? 11/06/2003 12:25 PM
Ever since the RIAA started suing their customers, there's been an upturn in CD sales. It's no surprise, of course, to find out that record industry execs now believe the legal slapdown strategy is working wonders. There are, of course, plenty of other explanations (such as the economy rebounding), but I'd actually buy into the idea that, in the short term, the RIAA's legal strategy was likely to boost CD sales. The bigger question is whether or not it is a long term strategy that can work. Despite efforts by people to boycott the RIAA (which just doesn't work), most people are still going to go out and get the music they want. However, increasing the negative impression customers have of the established recording industry just sets up an opportunity for other, more customer friendly, options to come along. When consumers have no other choice, they'll hold their nose and stick with what's given them - but given some choice, they'll run like bandits. The music industry may have won a short term battle, but they've opened up a huge opportunity for a new model in music distribution. Now, the question is who will fill it?

RIAA Launching New Lawsuits Anyway

RIAA Launching New Lawsuits Anyway 12/22/2003 07:43 PM
Given the weekend to think about the fact that they can't just send out a blizzard of subpoenas any more, the RIAA has decided, what the hell, they'll just file a blizzard of lawsuits instead, and then get the subpoenas to discover the identity of anonymous file sharers. Of course, filing incorrect lawsuits probably looks worse (and is more expensive) for the RIAA than filing incorrect subpoenas.

More Overture Breakup Lawsuits

More Overture Breakup Lawsuits 11/05/2003 02:55 AM
When Yahoo bought Overture, one of the first things we mentioned was that people shouldn't just add Overture's revenue to Yahoo's because plenty of Overture's partners would bail out as quickly as possible, since they saw themselves as competitors to Yahoo. It hasn't taken long for that scenario to play out - but it's proving to be a pretty litigious situation. First, T-Online ditched Overture for Google, but Overture sued and won. Now, the same thing is playing out with Lycos, except that Lycos is striking first. They've both dumped Overture for Google and proactively sued them for breach of contract. They claim that Overture needed Lycos' permission before agreeing to the Yahoo acquisition. This might seem like a bit of a stretch at first, but it was apparently in the contract because Lycos wanted to make sure their private info never got into the hands of a list of competitors - with Yahoo at the top of that list. The complaint also alleges (just to make matters more fun) that Overture still owes Lycos nearly a million dollars, and they'd like to see the check pretty damn soon.

Growing Number of Lawsuits Could Hurt Google's Ad Revenue

PARIS, March 27 -

[...]

This month, Mr. Dariot triumphed in his year-and-a-half-old lawsuit against Google's French subsidiary, which has been ordered to pay him $97,000 in fines and legal costs.

Dariot and his travel companies, Luteciel and Viaticum, successfully challenged Google's practice of selling Internet advertising from rivals designed to appear with Web searches for his trademarked Web site name, Bourse des Vols, which means flight exchange.

[...]

Mr. Dariot's company is one of the first to win against Google; similar cases in the United States and Germany that challenged the search engine's use of keywords have failed.

But more companies are piling on. France is home to as many as 15 cases, according to lawyers involved.

[...]

In a recent California case, Norm Zada, the chief executive and founder of Perfect 10, a publisher of nude photographs and adult material based in Beverly Hills, said he started sending legal notices to Google about the unauthorized use of his images in 2001.

"After 16 notices, they said they couldn't do anything," Mr. Zada said.

Since then, he said, his attorney has issued a blizzard of 44 notices in the past two years that covered 9,000 unauthorized images. In January, he sued Google in United States District Court in Los Angeles.

Google is in an amazing position to be the target of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things for us on the Internet. I personally like that Google is pushing the envelope on fair use and other issues. For instance, I think Google Images "thumbnails" are no larger than 150x150 pixels. Because of this, I use 150x150 as my own "safe zone" for "fair use thumbnails". If someone sues me, at least I can point at Google. The other thing that Google, Yahoo and others are involved in is transborder lawsuits, which are a very interesting issue from an Internet governance point of view.

Maybe Google should get into the legal advisory business too. ;-)
