    Article discusses how the RIAA is issuing letters to suspected copyright infringing music downloaders and sharers and asking them to turn themselves in and pay a reduced fine, which will still be in the thousands of dollars, or else they will sue them for all they have or might ever have. Lawyer from University of Southern California talks about how letters are actually just "cease and desist letters" and that suspected offenders might not want to turn themselves in because the RIAA might not be able to find out their identities otherwise since many schools ISP's are not keeping track of or releasing students' names, personally identifiable IP addresses, or other information.

  • “I have had letters and calls from many, many readers whose opinions back up this report and reveal a lack of interest and even a huge distrust of the web, and there are probably millions of people who are determined never to consider even trying to operate a computer.”

      I think this is very true. My grandmother has never used anything more advanced than a typewriter and she is very skeptical about the internet.
  • So why aren’t older people using the web? According to Professor Bill Dutton, who directs OxIS, trust in the Internet is based largely on experience with this technology. As he said: “Getting elders to experience the Internet, when they distrust it, is the central challenge.”

Online Piracy

shared by Tyler Gladu on 08 Nov 09 - No Cached
  • 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.
