Hacker magazine Phrack is to close its doors after almost 20 years serving the darker side of the Internet and communications community.
The judge in a closely watched lawsuit challenging the legality of DVD-copying software said she was "substantially persuaded" by past court rulings that favoured copyright holders, but closed a hearing Thursday without issuing a ruling in the case.
Hacker publication 2600 magazine won't appeal a ruling prohibiting it from linking to code that can crack copy protections on DVDs, bringing a closely watched digital copyright fight to an end.
Three current box office hits -- "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," "Shrek" and "Pearl Harbor" -- are among the most-pirated movies over the Web for the month of June, researchers have said.
In the first major test of copyright law in the Digital Age, the film industry has pleaded with a US court to help prevent the 'Napsterisation' of movies by blocking the publication of a DVD-cracking code.
