Hollywood studios and record companies on Friday asked the United States Supreme Court to overturn a controversial series of recent court decisions that have kept file-swapping software legal.
The US Supreme Court's review of file-swapping -- and by extension, of the legal protections afforded to a host of mainstream technologies -- has drawn interest from all corners, and yesterday's decision won't stop the debate.
Perhaps as soon as this week, the US Supreme Court will rule on the future of file swapping, in one of the most closely watched legal battles of the year.
The idea of the computer users copying or "ripping" DVDs for upload to peer-to-peer (P2P) networks seems to be a myth, according to new research.
A new technology, anointed by many tech-savvy computer users as an answer to file swapping's network traffic jams, is running into legal and practical problems as it breaks into the mainstream.
Kazaa's chief lobbyist, Philip Corwin, says Hollywood is sparing no expense to squash P2P.
