• Pulling the Plug on American UseNet
  UseNet seems to have always been like Fight Club to many users - you dont talk about Fight Club. The question is, is the first rule about targeting UseNet, you dont talk about targeting UseNet? Theres a very interesting report on NewTeeVee about ISPs in the United States either talking about or already ending their UseNet service. The report hits a lot of key point such as the key one of ISPs simply letting the New York Stat atourney general say that its because of child pornography that UseNet should stop being offered as opposed to the reality of ISPs simply not willing to invest money into the infrastructure. According to the report, Time Warner has already announced that it will stop offering UseNet services altogether. Road Runner, one ISP in the US said that few users use UseNet, so they would discontinue it on the 23rd of this month.

  Says is waiting for the record industry to reemerge and for everybody to "settle down" and become "civilized" before itll ever record new material. Today I have a report for the "who gives a f channel," for it concerns over-the-hill rockers, whose rocking has long been done from a seated position, and their refusal to record new music. Kiss, led by frontman Gene Simmons, has recently been quoted bashing Radiohead and its donation-based album sales experiment. Its not the first time, so its not really worth discussing anew, but what is is Genes statement that they will not "record new material" until the music industry gets its act together and "..

• BPI on ISP Piracy Warnings: Internet Subscribers Will Welcome the Info
  UK record industry head responds to criticisms of recent news that Virgin Media and his group will team up to warn, educate, and ultimately disconnect illegal file-sharers. British Phonographic Industry (BPI) chief executive Geoff Taylor recently responded in an article on the BBC to criticisms over recent news that his group and Virgin Media will collaborate to fight illegal downloading on its network.

  Book details how piracy is usually a response to a lack of desired options being offered in the marketplace. About a month ago I mentioned Matt Masons book "The Pirates Dilemma."

• Music Industry Study: 80% of UK Youth Want Legal P2P
  Claims a majority of 14-24yo want legal file-sharing, and it predictably says the best method is to begin taxing Internet and mobile phone connections to pay for it. British Music Rights, which is composed of the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters, Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society, Music Publishers Association, and Performing Right Society, recently released the results of a survey analyzing the music consumption behavior of 14-24yos (average was 22). Carried out in February and March 2008 by the University Of Hertfordshire, BMR bills it as the largest UK academic survey of its kind. Though considering the sponsors its only logical to assume that theyd only release a survey with findings in their favor, which it does. For the most startling discovery is that 80% of those who admitted to illegal file-sharing want a legal P2P service, and "place a considerable monetary value on it.

• German Courts - P2P Lawsuits Unconstitutional
  Many are aware of US-based rights holders trying to apply US laws in other countries. Now there is word that P2P lawsuits in Germany are unconstitutional. Between the new version of Vuse, the Canadian DMCA, and a new p2p study being released, it may be easy to have missed the report from p2p-blog that covered what happened in the German court system just a little while ago while all the other big news was happening. Janko Roettgers, the writer of P2P-blog notes that P2P lawsuits have been ruled unconstitutional because an ISP technically cant give out customer information as it has done in the past because its private information. Interestingly enough, this was one of the main types of arguments used in the Canadian discovery case back in the beginning of 2004.
