RIAA's college lawsuits a wrong answer - CNET News - 0 views

  •  
    Article talks about how RIAA can have the federal government issue subpoenas by simply making allegations of infringement and requiring University administrators to turn over the IP address owners of the guilty parties. This ability conflicts with peoples' right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty. To fight this, the adminstrators are shuffling IP addresses among different individuals regularly so that they can honestly say that they have no identifying information to provide.

EBSCOhost: Copyright, Schmopyright - 0 views

  • Hollywood, needless to say, isn't a fan. The Motion Picture Association of America describes Megavideo and Megaupload as copyright scofflaws and said that they host illegal content "at their own peril." Maybe, but these sites, registered in Hong Kong, seem to know how to avoid lawsuits. They are following at least the letter of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, removing infringing material at the copyright holder's request.
