Secret Copyright Treaty Details Leak: ISPs Worldwide to Become Copyright Cops?
New negotiations for an international Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) kick off today, and this round focuses on a secretive Internet piracy plan drafted by the U.S government. No text has been released, but leaks have surfaced. It's not looking good. More »Final Round of Psystar vs Apple Might Be Called Off
I'm pissed. For months, I've been waiting for the Psystar vs Apple trial to hit the court. And now both companies are filing motions for summary judgments and potentially denying me a show? More »Apparently, DVD Copying Software Is Illegal
Ruling against the RealNetworks in the trial of sooo last century, a federal judge said that it was illegal to sell or make DVD copying software under the DMCA. But what about actually ripping DVDs yourself? More »Australia Helps Get 1984 Back On Your Kindle
Were you screwed over by Amazon this week when they remotely deleted George Orwell's 1984 from your Kindle? Yes? Good news! A simple trip to Australia is all you need to stick it back to the man: More »Psion's Netbook Copyright Fight Is Officially Dead in the Water
As rumored, Psion's dickish legal claim to own the word "Netbook" is officially over thanks to Intel. More »RealNetworks Stumbles Into Court, This Box Hangs in the Balance
RealNetworks' courtroom feud with the MPAA is now under way, and as predicted, the company doesn't really give a mouse's ass about RealDVD. It's Facet, RealNetworks' archiving DVD player, that everyone's all worked up about. More »Why The RealDVD Trial Might Actually Matter
Yes, OK, we called the software lame and poked fun when it earned that inevitable injunction, but that was just too predictable to get all earnest about. Well, RealNetworks might've been playing a long game. More »AP Threatens to Sue AP Affiliate for Embedding Official AP YouTube Vids
I think the AP needs to hire an internet consultant. Because it's clearly run by people who have absolutely no idea how the internet works. How else can one explain their behavior? More »Obama's iPod Gift to Queen Elizabeth II Is Tainted
The iPod that Obama gave Queen Elizabeth II loaded with show tunes might have been lame and declasse for another reason: It's possibly illegal! More »Web Traffic in Sweden Drops 33% in a Single Day After New Anti-Piracy Law is Enacted
Sweden's new anti-piracy policy allows copyright holders to quickly obtain the identity of major pirates and prosecute them directly through the courts, without going through the police. And it's scared a lot of Swedes straight. More »Pirate Bay Trial Watch Day 7: We Pirated All These Movies For Evidence Gathering Purposes, Honest
Today the prosecution brought a few anti-piracy watchdogs to the stand who had "investigated" the Pirate Bay by downloading music, movies and games from the site. And then they reduced their evidence to shreds. More »Authors Guild Claims Kindle 2 Text-to-Speech Somehow Violates Copyright
The notoriously litigious ink-lovers at the Writers Guild are mad at Amazon again—this time for the Kindle 2's text-to-speech feature. Apparently, Amazon is effectively stealing and giving away audiobooks, or something. More »Running Out of Options, Psystar Challenges OS X Copyrights
In the latest bizarre turn in a protracted, anything-goes legal battle, Psystar is basically claiming that Apple doesn't own the copyright for OS X. Sound unlikely? It probably is. More »Psystar Drops Antitrust Claim, Focuses on Copyright Issues
I'm seriously buying into the idea that Psystar has secret supporters, because there is no way a small company could fight a hopeless battle against Apple this long. Yet, the battle rages on. More »New MacBooks Have HDCP, Gives iTunes Purchases Less Freedom
High Definition Content Protection—the annoying DRM-y thing that's supposed to stop people from copying hi-def stuff as it travels over a card-display connector— has apparently, and unfortunately, come to Apple's MacBooks. HDCP is now included on new MacBooks to protect iTunes Store media, though it seems that only some of the content is actually HDCP-aware. A high school teacher was unable to play Hellboy 2 on his classroom's projector with his new aluminum MacBook, but other purchased media (such as Stargate: Continuum and Heroes episodes) worked just fine. Perfect. Because copyright protection is all about inconveniencing those who actually bought their stuff legally? [Ars Technica]Chinese File Lawsuits Over Msoft's Piracy Crack Down
