eBay Beats DMCA
pgrote writes "eBay won a court battle that brought to light a key provision of the DCMA. The judge says, "Although it may facilitate the sale of pirated material, "eBay does not have the right and ability to control such activity," a standard required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the judge wrote." So does that mean that the P2P file trading programs are legal since the pirating occurs off the sites? This is could be a very important precedent. " In talking to some lawyer friends, their perspective on part of the Napster case was that by being very difficult in the beginning, Napster almost doomed itself. But, as always, IANAL ? .

.....now why don't you tell us all what's wrong with /. ???
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Hey where's the fascist moderators today? C'mon, most of these comments (including this one) should have been modded into oblivion by now! Or is the moderation system broken too?
That's great new for all of us John Tesh bootleggers!!!!
Exactly how stupid are you again?
Information wants to be free!!
Nearly as bad as your speeling, perhaps.
Too bad you can't spell "spelling" you fuckwit. Go take it up the ass from Malda while being punched in the balls by spork_testicle and mackga. Fucking lame ass homosexual ass pirate.
First gatse.ms post!

Fuck you. Go back to taking it up the ass from Malda. Queer.
Fuck you, long haired linux zealot. Go play with Malda.
Why do you USians spell paedophile pedophile and demon daemon? What's wrong with you fucken weirdos?
I say you go fuck yourself and stop trying to make funny comments. You're not funny, and in fact, you're just fucking lame. So instead of sitting on your fat ass reading crapdot, why don't you take a gun, stick it in your cum-filled mouth, and pull the trigger. Put your sorry ass out of its misery.
Did sarcasm pass you by when you were a child by any chance?
Isn't life in this case is imitating Spike Milligan, not Monty Python?
You are secretly a jew. Fucking kike.
At least I don't attempt to make up lame excuses when I steal music. Here's an exercise in stupidity: trying to understand the world through the concept of free software. rms brainwashed you, kid.
Go fuck yourself or take it up the ass from Rob Malda and Michael Sims. Fuck you nigger kike bitch.
Nice come back, is that the best you can manage? Don't like looking like an idiot, do you? Life must be so hard for you if thats the case.
ugh, goatse.cx link.
