  • The Return of the Broadcast Flag
    It may be an issue that hasnt made the headlines in the last four years, but a controversial kind of Digital Rights Management (DRM) appears to be making a return to the spotlight. The broadcast flag has made a return and this time, it appears to be bi-passing regulators altogether. Stories about the DRM embedded in Windows Vista has been a hot button topic for some. Those wary of the new operating system say that the DRM in Windows Vista would force users to forfeit control over the operating system. Others who embraced Windows Vista say that the worries are overblown and nothing short of fear mongering and unsubstantiated.

  • Candidates are buying your vote - Journal of Political Economy
    Mention the words vote buying and modern-day political villains Jack Abramoff and Tony Rezko probably come to mind, or perhaps special interest groups that donate to a politicians campaign and expect support when relevant bills come to vote. It may shock American sensibilities to learn that, in an economic sense, our votes are bought with every election in the form of campaign promises that are paid later at a cost to the voter in the form of taxes.

Being a police investigator he would have been expected to be a credible and impartial witness. But, now new information reveals that the 39 year-old investigator isnt such an objective professional after all.

In light of a series of recent federal court rulings that have determined that simply putting music in a KaZaAs "shared folder" doesnt in itself constitute copyright infringement, that actual illegal distribution of music must take place, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Davis is considering granting Jammie Thomas, the first person ever convicted of illegal file-sharing, a new trial.

  • RIAA Must Pay $107,834 in Legal Fees
    Largest attorneys fees ever awarded in a P2P-related case. The RIAA will have to pay $107,834 in legal fees as a result of a failed lawsuit, a US federal judge has ruled. For two years, running until June 2007, the RIAA pursued a case against Tanya Andersen, accusing her of illegal file sharing; that case was dismissed with prejudice however, and Andersen and one of her lawyers were allowed to seek compensation for their defense. At points in the case, as many as six attorneys for Andersen were present in court. The compensation is said to be the highest awarded against the RIAA in terms of legal fees, and far more than the RIAAs proposal of $30,000.
