This is correct. The brief says that the copies are not the authorised originals - that's just a tautology. The next sentence reads: "Moreover, Defendant had no authorization to distribute Plaintiffs' copyrighted recordings from his KaZaA shared folder." It is making available that seems to be targeted just as with the Jamie case.
Typical: Linux has no problems it is everyone else that is wrong because they do not share the open source mentality.
Linux is not user friendly to set-up - that's part of the attraction for me;-) - but it also does not work with today's digital services. DRMs ar enot going away so the sooner at least some distributions recognise this the better.
I want a propritetary kernel without source code that satisfies the media industry and permits them to license DRMs so that I can enjoy all of th enew commercial services out there.
I think Linspire may be able to come in to its own with HD-DVDs. If they are prepared to license, and if it proves no so straight forward to crack AACS then the benefits of being legal (other than out of the box ease of use) will become very clear.
Good luck to them.
P.S. On the wiki referred to, there is no mention of DVD licensing (of CSS?) though!
Most governments will not be paying, and governments specifcally stripped cost reimbursement out of the text. That's why they happily signed up to 2 years (and maybe more) retention - they won't be paying for it, consumers will (either in the form of higher prices directly as because they will have less IPS choice as some can't meet the requirements and go bust)
And as the content community is very resistent to selling content to computers not using DRM, then Linux is cutting itself off from the mainstream. We all rejoice when there are signs of success for Linux on the desktop, but right now Linux makes no sense if you want to buy music or films from the comfort of your own home.
I for one would welcome a Linux DRM technology that content providers were happy to work with.
Would be great if there was a free, but legal, DVD player too.
Not being open to DRMs means its harder to use modern music and other services on Linux and that's going to impede further growth in the residential market.
Now that 4.1 has been out a while, has anyone established what the situation really is with AA - I would really like it for the Mach64, but won't risk CVS stuff.

Being a European, I've never looked at whether there is a workaround for Linux users, so I'll ask here...
