• Business As Usual As RIAA Targets ESU in P2P Lawsuit Campaign
  The Recording Industry Association has reportedly sent 60 cease and desist letters to East Stroudsburg University. With the movement to legalize campus file-sharing with a blank tax, youd think that the campus lawsuit campaign would be winding down. That appears to not be the case according to Pocono Record, a news site in Pennsylvania. The report says school officials confirmed that 60 notices of copyright infringement have been received. More from the report: "So far, the school has had to issue roughly 60 warnings to students this semester," said Bob DAversa, head of ESUs academic computing department.

If that sounds like an wacky idea, then you might consider the person behind Bopaboo crazy. Bopaboo is a website designed for people to sell their MP3 files online.

• REPORT: P2P Cost ISPs $4.8 Billion in 2007
  Research says that growth in file-sharing traffic to blame for increased capital and operational expenditures. Every so often we get a new study that makes new claims and predictions regarding P2P traffic. Add to the list a recent one by Multimedia Intelligence entitled "P2P Networking: Content’s “Bad Boy” Becomes Tomorrow’s Distribution Channel." The studys focus is on raising the awareness of the potential monetization of P2P as a digital distribution platform. MultiMedia Intelligence bills itself as a "market research consultancy specializing in the markets and technologies that deliver and monetize digital media and services across multiple platforms" so its not surprising that the study highlights the costs associated with the piracy of copyrighted material.

• Tor2Web - Anonymizing Content and File-Sharing
  Ever wanted to post something online anonymously for all to see? Tor2Web might be an application for you. Wireds Threat Level has made an interesting find today - Tor2Web. The concept comes from the anonymizing concept of the Tor network (AKA the Union Router) which anonymizes web surfers and prevents information about them from being recorded. More from the report: Aaron Swartz, one of the founders of Reddit, and Virgil Griffith, creator of WikiScanner have teamed up to provide users with a new service that gives them access to anonymized content posted through the Tor network. The article says that the concept of anonymously posting content through the TOR network has been on the back-burner for years, but recently brought back to life over the fact that Wikileaks, a website devoted to people who either want to publish suppressed information or want to access suppressed information (often reporters), was facing legal pressure to take content down.

• French Digital Rights Advocates Decry Telecom Packages Gradual Response
  Says that the current telecoms package would violate basic civil rights in Europe. A little over a week ago, we reported on the French Prime Minister overruling democracy and vetoing provisions in the telecoms package that would stop any form of a "three strike provision" in the European Parliament. Recently, French digital rights advocates from "Squaring the Net" decried the move to modify the telecoms package saying that some of the provisions would force member states in Europe to violate basic civil rights. The paper (PDF) explains in detail what the advocates are looking for. One of the first major demands is to strip out any provisions that would allow any form of a graduated response in response to the demands of, ultimately, major US corporations.

• Limewire 5 Alpha Introduces Private File-Sharing
  Releases new version of the once popular P2P program that allows users to selectively share files with family and friends. Limewire has just released an alpha version of LimeWire 5 and it delivers on its promise to bring "social sharing to the forefront" of the P2P world. Both the blessing and curse of P2P has always been the open nature of file-sharing. More people means more content is available, but it also means increased susceptibility to the maligned intentions of copyright holders, spammers, and data thieves alike. Private BitTorrent tracker sites and FTP servers are obvious solutions, but for many they remain out of reach or are simply beyond their technical expertise.

• Sony Music Sued for Breaching US Privacy Laws - Fined $1 Million
  It could negatively affect web developers this time. Theres an interesting report on Wireds Threat Level which details Sony getting sued by the FTC for $1 million. While a previous lawsuit against the company proved to be hilarious over the hypocrisy of being sued for software piracy, this lawsuit may be of interest to many web developers who have a website that has any form of profiles. According to court papers, over 1,000 Sony music sites asked whether an end user was under the age of 13 (section 16 on page 6). Those who said they were under the age of 13 would be restricted from participation.
