Report From RIAA v. Verizon Case

Posted by michael on from the music-industry-getting-to-know-you dept.

LawGeek writes "Adam Kessel has provided Greplaw with exclusive coverage of today's RIAA v. Verizon hearing, in which the RIAA is attempting to force Verizon to produce information about a user who allegedly shared files using P2P technology. It sounds as though the judge had a good grasp of the technology, and has promised to rule quickly. Slashdot has previously covered Verizon's stance on this and other P2P issues."

  11. Content Providers VS. Bandwith Providers by turnstyle · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Yes, it looks like the Content Providers & Bandwith Providers are sparring, but don't believe the hype.

    They are both big big business, and they are simply jockying for the best sweetheart deal. No doubt the Content Providers will, before long, be paying some sort of 'tax' to the Bandwith Providers to help break the P2P networks.

    If you're at all technical, you should think about running your own Internet standards based server (ie. http, ftp, etc). If you want to make your files available via a streaming site, I hope you take a look at my approach, Andromeda.

    But no matter what you eventually decide to do, to have control you have to take control.

    NO, They used to have the privilege of not having their covertly monitored activites reported, because the evidence wasn't worth a damn.
