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.

Texas Rep Makes Case Against His Own
Bill

Texas Rep Makes Case Against His Own
Bill 04/05/2005 02:27 PM

Phil King leads the charge against municipal network build-outs, but undermines self again: King, in this Star-Telegram (Ft. Worth) article, says that "he views most municipal Wi-Fi networks as a ploy by cities to start for-profit businesses." But dozens of cities are fighting his bill's language, which while revised remains broad enough to fulfill its true purpose: eliminating private competition as well as municipal competition for incumbent broadband providers.

The bill doesn't address the lack of broadband. Rather, it hands monopoly and duopoly powers over to incumbents while reducing a host of regulatory burdens that affect universal access to dial tone and other resources.

Rep. King says, "No business should have to compete with public tax dollars," King said. But it's not about that kind of competition. No municipality should have to beg private corporations for the privilege of having the basic services they need to survive. No municipality should be barred from allowing private companies access to municipal facilities in order to provide private competition.

If Austin's airport has its wireless network shut down as is possible under the Texas bill, that only benefits the cellular carriers who are allowed to continue operating their cell data networks within the airport. It doesn't benefit air travelers, the city of Austin, or business in Austin that view the airport's Wi-Fi network as a competitive advantage.

If there's ever a case to be made for municipal self-determination it's that so many municipalities view broadband networks (wireless or otherwise) as vital components in their ability to serve the public through police, fire, and emergency care and to make their communities competitive for business. When Rep. King say he thinks that cities want to turn broadband into a profit center, he just doesn't understand what they're doing with the technology and how underserved and overpriced most of his state is--or he's only listening to one viewpoint: SBC's.
