This man used peer to peer technology to create CDs for third party distribution to his friends; the home computer lab he was using for his peer to peer activities contained a NASA computer keyboard and he was using his NASA based E-mail account to communicate with third parties about his amateur counterfeit CDs. NASA and the FBI did not take the case seriously and no legal action was taken against Dr. Eric Vermote to my knowledge. The RIAA has a lot of work waiting in my humble opinion (FROM: Damien Bizeau – International artist, Promoter and Producer, France).

release windows and geographic blocking = p2p torrent use

streaming has its place, but torrents are here for the long haul.

Could it really be sinking in to these people that none of their anti-piracy efforts are having an effect? Other than to give even more publicity to file-sharing, that is?

Somehow earlier this month Hulu lost the syndication rights of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In response to this Hulu’s CEO issued this proactive blog post addressing it. Take a quick look at the first couple comments after Jason Killar’s note:

http://blog.hulu.com/2009/1/13/customer-trust-is-hard-won-easily-lost

People immediately gravitate toward the fact that accessing the content for free via “extra”-legal means is almost as easy as just watching it on Hulu.

Piracy represents a massive act of global civil disobedience on a very basic level.
