• MediaDefender Walks The Plank to Bankruptcy

• Another Critical ACTA Leak Surfaces
  While many within ACTA have been trying to operate in as much secrecy as possible, there seems to be a few who wants ACTA to be more open. Its certainly justifiable considering a vast majority of people to be affected by this might otherwise be completely in the dark. Yesterday, we reported on the new movement to restrict copyright in the United States. At the time, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said that the new proposal to restrict copyright laws in the United States further combined with the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) would mean a catastrophe for American citizens. There may be an untold amount of back-room dealing involved, but some of the back-room dealings have recently came to light.

• French Minister Pushes for Mandatory ISP Level P2P Filtering Across Europe
  If there is anything that file-sharing filtering programs havent proven, is 100% effectiveness. In spite of the lack of evidence, that isnt stopping one minister from pushing for a European law that would force ISPs to implement such technology. It may be the first time many in English speaking circles have even heard of the Hadopi law model, but the name may soon become more familiar if it is successfully placed into a law proposal after the talks with the European parliament. The EDRI has provided extensive coverage on the issue that is very noteworthy. Those who follow the European law-making process may recall last months news of a telecom package that could force ISPs to essentially ban file-sharing.

• Digital Frisking for Copyright Infringement at US Border Disclosed
  It may have been little more then an intimidating demand from businesses at ACTA negotiations, but now the Department of Homeland Security is saying that copying hard drives and iPods at the US border is now part of border security policy without suspicion of wrongdoing. It seems to be the trend for US authorities and lawmakers - act first, legalize later. A little over a month ago, the EFF was demanding an investigation for suspicionless laptop searches at the border. Now comes word that the Department of Homeland Security has made laptop searches and iPod searches (aka digital frisking) part of border security policy. Its all found in the 3 page policy (PDF - hat tip Slashdot for the link) which contains the following: This policy provides guidance to U.

• Bell Canada to Cap Competition to as Low as 2GB a Month Down Per User
  You know competition is almost non-existent when one competitor can decide what other competitors can and cannot do in the market. Just when Bell thought the controversy and bad publicity around its company couldnt get any worse, it did. The CBC is reporting that Bell Canada is now going to put download limits on its own wholesalers. The report details a plan to cap people that have a connection speed of 512kb/s or slower to have a 2GB monthly limit with extra charges if users go over. For faster internet users who have connection speeds of about 5MB/s, that cap on a per user basis goes up to 60GB.

  Ah yes, the idea was great; the resulting application (NetShare) good enough to make the App Store cut, but then someone at Apple remembered their partner (AT&T) and the app has disappeared from the store. After all, a tethering app would allow an end user to use their iPhone as a modem, not something AT&T would like. And I mention only AT&T because the error message returned is: The item youve requested is not currently available in the U.S. store.

  If youre a pessimist, the primate known as the "Kipunji"discovered just three years ago, is already bordering on extinction. If youre more of an optimist, you may think that its small numbers are why it was never discovered until recently so 1,117 of them are nothing to be alarmed about.

• EFF - New US Copyright Enforcement Proposal and ACTA Could be a Catastrophe
  There is a new proposal that could further restrict copyright laws in the United States. With the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on the minds of many people around the world, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is calling the new copyright proposals potentially catastrophic. Copyright and surveillance laws have been the subject of much discussion in the last few months. While some are more specifically copyright related pieces and others are more surveillance and privacy related, they all could affect peoples digital lives. For some, its hard to imagine that copyright laws could get much worse in the United States, but that is exactly what could be happening if the latest proposals actually make it to law.

• Defendant to RIAA: 428,571 Times Actual Damages is Unconstitutional
  New tactic in the fight against the RIAA is to admit guilt, but challenge copyright laws and argue that compensatory damages greater than 9 to 1 violates the Due Process Clause of the 14th amendment. In the case of Elektra vs Barker attorney Ray Beckerman of Recording Industry vs the People is employing a new tactic in his longstanding tussle with the RIAA. He readily admits that his client did use the KaZaA file-sharing program and should be punished accordingly, but that actual damages should be limited to $3.50 per song she made available for a total of $750 if found liable. Beckerman challenges the constitutionality of the statute awarding damages for copyright infringement to the extent it could be construed as authorizing more than nine times the actual damages.

• Porn Anti-Piracy Group Gives Up on File-Sharers, Targets P2P Sites Instead
  Learns from RIAA mistakes, noting "Going after end users is a strategy that would require ridiculous amounts of resources and probably would not accomplish a lot." Porn has long been one of the most widely traded types of content on P2P and file-sharing sites and thus, like the rest of the entertainment industry, it too has had to face the problem of how to effectively combat the problem. Enter the Pak Group, which was formed back in September 2007 during a meeting of major content producers. It was "was formed for the purpose of documenting, pursuing and bringing claims in the form of demand letters and lawsuits to the front door of pirates," but has come to the apparent realization that going after individual file-sharers is a losing proposition. Im sure the RIAAs nearly decade-long efforts was what ultimately convinced them.

• Sony Euro Boss: Get Games From BitTorrent if You Want To
  Offers a solution to criticisms of 4-5 month delays of PAL region games arriving in far off "down under" locales like New Zealand and Australia, even going so far as to suggest users "download PSP games, its up to you." Apparently Sony gamers "down under" in New Zealand and Australia are so far removed from their European cousins that they regularly experience 4-5 month delays in getting shipments of new PAL region game release titles. The experience has been frustrating for gamers trying to legally purchase copies of the latest and greatest games that are released each month and the issue was raised recently with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves at E3, the annual trade show for the computer and video games industry. In an interview with Buttonmasher he offers some solutions to this distribution lag that are so shockingly honest and realistic that it makes you wonder if theres an ulterior motive at work here. He starts off by saying that there will continue to be a 4-5 month delay for Sony gamers in New Zealand and Australia.
