| Grokster Appeal Day (2-3-4) |
| on Monday, February 02, 2004 - 08:29 PM Posted by: elliot |
Fred Von Lohmann, Senior Staff Attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), was quoted as saying "MGM v. Grokster is about whether copyright owners have the right to veto new technologies and stifle innovation ... Innovators have a great deal at stake in the conflict over peer-to-peer (P2P) software."

| Extending Verizon to RIAA v. Charter Communications |
| on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 05:03 AM Posted by: elliot |
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and 21 other consumer and privacy groups today sided with Charter Communications, Inc., in its struggle to protect customer privacy. The groups urged a federal court in St. Louis, Missouri, to prevent the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) from forcing Internet Service Provider Charter Communications to identify customers the RIAA has accused of offering infringing music on a peer-to-peer system. In December 2003, a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, ruled that the RIAA could not use special, non-judicial subpoenas under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. 512 et seq., demanding that Verizon identify unnamed alleged filesharers. |

| P2P File Sharing and Copyright Infringement |
| on Sunday, January 11, 2004 - 12:25 AM Posted by: elliot |
By Elliot M. Zimmerman
Some view the internet as an abandoned warehouse filled with free pictures, music, video and text files fixed on a hard disk somewhere out there in cyberspace. Granted, some files are not protected by copyright law because the material contained in them has entered the public domain. In some instances, the use of certain files may constitute a fair use under 17 U.S.C. 107 et seq. On the other hand, the use and sharing of other files may lead to severe civil and criminal penalties under 17 U.S.C. 501 et seq. |

campaign.

| CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 |
| on Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 09:33 PM Posted by: elliot |
On 11/25/03, the Senate passed the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which will preempt state law when signed by the President, who is expected to do so shortly. This is the first federal legislation directly regulating SPAM. Very basically, the bill requires senders of unsolicited commercial email to provide recipients with a functioning process to opt out (i.e. the "remove" link must work), a real address, and a real contact. The bill prohibits civil suits by individuals and requires the establishment of an opt-out list individuals can join (similar to the one for unwanted telephonic solicitations). Senders of fraudulent email face severe criminal penalties. The bill (877) has been criticized by states with tougher spam laws as being too weak. You can read the version that will more than likely become law shortly at the link below and decide for yourself. http://spamlaws.com/federal/108s877.html |
