A newly launched peer-to-peer trade association has offered to sit down and negotiate with music industry lawyers, while it simultaneously denounced its adversaries as obsolete and "tyrannosaurical."
A federal judge has said that record labels and film studios could expand an ongoing copyright lawsuit to include Sharman Networks, which distributes the popular Kazaa software.
Australia's Sharman Networks, a consortium of private investors with multimedia interests, has unveiled a new version of its popular Kazaa file-swapping software.
At an open meeting Wednesday of a peer-to-peer forum backed by the parent company of Kazaa, the discussion will turn to a seemingly improbable concept: how to eliminate piracy from file-swapping networks.
New file-swapping applications are bridging formerly separate networks, promising to improve the efficiency of peer-to-peer searches and sharpen competition among rival software developers.
US vice presidential candidate Joe Biden has a mixed record on technology, spending most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders. His anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.
Kazaa's chief lobbyist, Philip Corwin, says Hollywood is sparing no expense to squash P2P.
In order to get the real picture behind the US-Australia free trade agreement, one needs to examine the document with a fine-tooth comb. Of particular interest is how Australia will have to model its laws after the US Millennium Copyright Act.
Despite the RIAA's efforts to shut down file-swapping services, these 10 apps carry Napster's torch.
