• RealNetworks and the MPAA Clash over RealDVD
  RealNetworks labels it a tool to “protect your discs from scratches and damage,” while the MPAA blasts it as "StealDVD," a method to "rent and rip" DVDs from retailers like Blockbuster and Netflix. Tuesday, the Motion Picture Association of America and RealNetworks (RNWK) went at it head on, taking each other to court in separate lawsuits. There may have been an effort at behind the scenes diplomacy but there was no shot across the bow, no public warning. The fight came quick and fast with preemptive and counter strikes.  The battleground is RealNetworks newly released realDVD software, a software program designed to copy DVDs.

• Rapidshare Loses in Court - Must Proactively Remove Copyrighted Content
  The long awaited court ruling has arrived and it may be very bad news for the ever-present content hosting website Rapidshare. A court ruled recently in Germany that the website must not only take down content based on a legal claim, but proactively take down copyrighted content on its own. It was only yesterday that the subject of file-hosting came up in a discussion about link sharing. A report from P2P-Blog pointed to a German court ruling (German) that said that not only does the file-hosting service has to comply with copyright complaints, but also check every file for copyright infringement. Rapidshares argument that it is already fighting copyright infringement appears to have not worked.

• Italian Court Rules ISP Block of The Pirate Bay Illegal
  Court of Bergamo restores access to the Sweden-based BitTorrent tracker site. Almost two months ago I mentioned how an Italian judge from the Court of Bergamo had ordered Italian ISPs to begin blocking customer access to The Pirate Bay BitTorrent tracker site. Now comes word that The Pirate Bay has successfully won an appeal of the judges order and have had the block lifted. "The Pirate Bay won the case in Italy," proclaims The Pirate Bay spokesperson Peter Sunde. " The lawyers have done a fantastic job! Will report on this later!" However, he also said that it is still possible that the appeal could be overturned.

• EFF Chronicles File-Sharing Lawsuits in RIAA v. The People: 5 Years Later
  Recounts the music industrys failed strategy of suing at least 30,000 individuals that have included children, grandparents, unemployed single mothers, college professors, the handicapped, and even the deceased. The Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF has written an excellent recount of the RIAAs "sue em all" anti-file-sharing campaign that began September 8, 2003 called "RIAA v The People: 5 Years Later." In seven parts it chronicles the failed strategy from prelude to a current assessment. In part 1, "Prelude: Sue the Technology," it notes how "The music industry initially responded to P2P file sharing as it has often responded to disruptive innovations in the past: it sent its lawyers after the innovators, hoping to smother the technology in its infancy." Rather than capturing the genie and putting it on the RIAA payroll, it instead tried to put it back in the bottle and forget it ever happened.

  FavTape is a great replacement for those looking to fill the Muxtape void. It was just over a month ago that online mixtape service Muxtape shut down in order to placate threats by the RIAA.

It was a great service because it allowed music fans to upload and share their favorite tracks with family and friends. Some have observed that ".

• "Share Links" - P2P Revolution or Small Metamorphic P2P Evolution?
  There was an interesting posting by DCInteractive which discusses the movement on file-hosting and comparing it to popular file-sharing medium BitTorrent. Is it all hype or is it really a revolution? Drew Wilson provides a personal commentary on the subject. To provide an extremely brief summary of my experience, Ive been writing news for about 3 years, but my file-sharing experience dates back to the Napster era. So suffice to say, Ive developed some knowledge on this area. While there is no real universal term for what has been described in the commentary since some simply refer to these sites as upload sites among other things, Ill use the term "Share links" merely for consistency.

  Sometimes, its just plain difficult to be an honest customer these days. This was proven again with the shut down of Wal-Marts DRM music server. There is a report on BoingBoing. Basically, Wal-Mart started their music service with a DRM-based scheme. About a year ago now, Wal-Mart became a part of an exodus of music stores fleeing DRM amid worries that other services that already dropped DRM would simply outperform them.
