Australian Supreme Court Looks At
Copyright Law
Australian Supreme Court Looks At
Copyright Law
09/14/2004 12:29 PMThe Supreme Court in Australia is now taking a look at
their version of the DMCA to see if people have the right to
modify hardware they've bought or to make backup copies of digital
media they purchased. In the old, pre-digital world, when you bought
a product, it was yours to do whatever you wanted with it. However,
thanks to recent law changes, any product that involves a digital
component seems much closer to a rental agreement, where the company
that "sold" you the product retains some sort of rights. For obvious
reasons, many people think this is unfair. In this particular case,
Sony went after a mod-chip trader, claiming that the mod-chips he
offered for the Playstation violated copyright law by letting users
play copied games, thereby violating anti-circumvention rules in
Australian law. It really becomes a question of whether or not
certain companies have the right to have their business models
protected by regulations, rather than forcing them to keep up with the
changing marketplace.

US Supreme Court to consider major
copyright and technology case
12/17/2004 06:30 PM
The United States Supreme Court agreed to
consider a high profile case involving the internet and copyright
infringement. The question, which has been subject to numerous lower
court rulings, concerns whether or not the creators of peer-to-peer
software can be held liable for users' copyright infrigement. The
companies cite the 1984 " Betamax case ," which immunized VCR makers from copyright
charges. The intellectual property holder side of the case charges
the software companies with knowing full well the uses to which their
applications have been put.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios v. Grokster Ltd
involves a large group of players:
The large group of plaintiffs includes the Motion Picture Association
of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, Warner
Brothers Entertainment Inc. and a class of 27,000 music publishers and
songwriters. The Supreme Court will hear the case in March and is
expected to decide it by late June.

US Supreme Court to hear crucial digital
copyright case this week
03/29/2005 02:30 AM
The
Supreme Court of the United States is scheduled to hear arguments
this week in a high profile digital copyright case. In MGM Studios v. Grokster
a group of movie studios sued Grokster , a popular peer-to-peer
file-trading program, arguing that the software enabled enormous
infringements of the studios' intellectual property . Last year a federal circuit court ruled in favor
of Grokster; the case has proceeded on appeal.
Supporters of Grokster, such as
Electronic Frontier Foundation , argue that such
file-sharing tools should be considered in the light of the 1984 "Betamax case" ,
where the Supreme Court ruled that users, not devices, should be held
liable for copyright offenses. Other defenders, such as The Economist , believe that a
ruling against Grokster could stifle innovation . Allies of MGM argue that
file-sharing applications, unlike VCRs, are primarily about copyright
infringement. Moreover, they argue that the owners and maintainers of
such software are fully aware of that propensity for infringement.
The court's ruling could have enormous ramifications for the
internet.
