Those who were fortunate enough to know about Seeqpod prepare yourself for some
unfortunate news, Seeqpod is officially off the web. Seeqpod, for those unknowing was a
search engine that searched for different kinds of media from all over the web and claimed
to index over 13 million tracks and files. Using an API (Application programming interface) it
searched the internet for files, but didn't filter out music files that may be breaking copyright
laws.
EMI one of the leading music companies, along with Warner Brothers music and Capitol
records launched a lawsuit against Seeqpod and it's CEO Kazian Franks as well as other
members of the company for copyright infringement and billions of dollars in damages.
Seeqpod claimed it linked the music from other sites but didn't actually host it, similar to
the popular site you tube, and claimed defense under Title II: Online Copyright Infringement
Liability Limitation Act, and the OCILLA (Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation
Act) but to no avail.
Seeqpod filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 1st 2009 and on April 24 went off line
for good.
From one side of the argument, music should be free and shared between the online
community. Internet music sites have been beneficial to the record companies not harmful.
They can be used as great tools to gain interest in bands. Music companies are greedy and
sites such as Pandora.com and Seeqpod should not be attacked.
From the other side, Artists and production have to be paid. The money that the companies
take for every song played goes to the biz. They feel they should be rewarded fairly for
taking the risks of creating a successful band. While the internet companies can just find
popular bands, record companies have to actually create them.
What do you think, is this a step forward or a leap back?Those who were fortunate enough to know about Seeqpod prepare yourself for some... more

The two-week trial, which ended March 2, was a joint civil and criminal proceeding that pitted the entertainment industry and the government against the four defendants, who each faced up to two years in prison. In addition, motion picture and record companies sought $13 million in damages for the 33 movies and music tracks at issue.
The Pirate Bay crew, though, has vowed to continue running the site whatever happens, and claims that it is secured from a forced shutdown through a network of distributed servers located outside Sweden.
The defendants are expected to appeal, and they remain free pending further proceedings.
In a web-only press conference held two hours after the verdict, Sunday was more upbeat, invoking Hollywood in explaining why he still believes The Pirate Bay's crew will ultimately prevail.
"We see this as a film," he said. "This is the first set-back for the heroes.... In the end we know that the good guys will win, as in all movies."The two-week trial, which ended March 2, was a joint civil and criminal proceeding... more

So the first verdict finally came, almost 3 years after the raid. You might have heard about it in the news...
You, our beloved users, know that this little speedbump on the information super highway is nothing more than just, a little bump. Todays verdict has already been appealed by us and will be taken to the next level of court (and that will take another 2 or 3 years!)
The site will live on! We are more determined than ever that what we do is right. Millions of users are a good proof of that.
We have seen that some people that we dont know have started collecting donations for us, so we can pay those silly fines. We firmly ask you NOT to do this. Do not gather or send any money. We do not want them since we will not pay any fines!
If you really want to help out, here is a list:
* Seed those torrents a little bit more than you usually do!
* Buy a t-shirt and show the world where your sympathy is.
* If you live in Europe, vote in the election for the EU parliament in June.
* Continue to build the internets! Start more bittorrent sites, blog more, start your own lobby group, create, remix, mash up and continue to grow more heads on this amazing hydra that we know as the internets!
* Do not be afraid of using the network. Invite your friends to this and other file sharing systems. Calm people down if they're upset. We need to stay united.
And say it loud say it proud! We are all The Pirate Bay!

It might seem like something of an odd question, unless your idea of a good night in is a box of popcorn and a copy of some dodgy DVD featuring a Captain Jack lookalike doing unmentionable things to his crew. Yet the answer is that these two things, the illegal file-sharing we commonly refer to as piracy and the porn business, have loads more in common than you might imagine.
For starters, both are hugely popular online. Pornography has traditionally been something of a driver of e-commerce innovation. After all, most pornographers are in the business for profit rather than pleasure, and working out ways to monetize online content was always a priority. And so it was that successful micro-payment systems and pay-as-you go streaming services were pretty much the brainchild of the adult content realm. Piracy has equally been at the forefront in terms of both online popularity and technological innovation. Ask yourself this, would P2P file-sharing services really have matured so quickly were it not for the momentum provided by the opportunity to easily distribute copyright content without having to pay for it?
The other thing that really binds these two Internet stalwarts together, of course, is the desire of The Powers That Be to stamp them out and the apparent impotence that is displayed when trying to do just that.
Many countries have rallied against online pornography, perhaps the most notable being China. Was it really two years ago that I was reporting how "China has officially declared war on Internet porn, and set a target of purging the web of sexually-explicit images, stories and AV clips within a six month timescale" right here on DaniWeb? Yes, it was, almost exactly in fact. That report was posted on the 14th of April 2007. Yet as I noted in this follow up story from January this year "porn is as much of a reality in China today as it was back then." There is no doubting that the Chinese Government has had some success in the ongoing fight against pornography, with hundreds of arrests and thousands of sites being closed down, but as for winning the war, no way. Indeed, I have heard it said that trying to stop pornographic content from being available on the Internet is like trying to stop the sea coming in. While the availability of porn in general is often viewed as a freedom of choice issue, and so the desire to remove it from the Internet is often half-hearted at best, the same cannot be said of child porn. The vast majority of people will be of one mind when it comes to preventing this particularly vile content from appearing online, or off for that matter. Yet even with a determined and cooperative effort from Governments and law enforcement agencies around the world, has the problem been eradicated? No it has not. Take the UK where some 95 percent of all ISPs filter known child abuse sites to prevent access, it has been reported that at least 750,000 UK households still have access to this material.
Trying to stop the sea coming in also applies to piracy. If anyone really thinks that the conviction of the founders of The Pirate Bay in Sweden, together with the fines they swear they will not pay and an order to close down the Pirate Bay servers which they say they will ignore, is going to make any difference at all to the amount of illegal file-sharing which happens every minute, every day around the world then they are simply delusional I am afraid. Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi and Carl Lundstrom have all made it quite clear that they cannot pay and will not pay the fines imposed upon them by the Swedish courts. Found guilty of breaching copyright law, the four have been ordered to pay some UKP £900,000 to 21st Century Fox and UKP £1 million split equally between MGM and Columbia Pictures, in terms of compensation for lost revenue. In all, the amount of the fines and damages totals some UKP £2.5 million.

To hear some tell it, file sharing gutted the music industry by encouraging people to gorge themselves on free, illegal content. Indeed, unless Friday's landmark verdict against The Pirate Bay is overturned, four Swedes will spend a year in jail and owe millions of dollars to entertainment companies for operating a file sharing network.
Nonetheless, sites like The Pirate Bay taught — and continue to teach — valuable lessons to the content industry. Even as music labels and movie studios try to sue peer-to-peer networks out of existence, these same networks have been preparing music labels and movie studios for the emerging social-media world, in which sales form only a small slice of the revenue pie, and what really matters is who likes what, and who pays attention to them.
Facebook, MySpace, imeem, YouTube and other social media sites — which the labels now recognize as a major part of their revenue streams going forward — incorporate several aspects of Napster and other early, rogue file sharing networks: buddy lists, user uploads, filtering content by user, viral marketing, ad-supported content and the potential of mining valuable data. The complete DNA of social media was right there, from the very start of P2P.
And even in the early days, the labels were intrigued by the vast pools of user data available on networks like Napster and Kazaa, although they were reticent to take advantage of it.
"It was more than just stigmatized," recalled Eric Garland, CEO of BigChampagne, which measures the popularity of media on file sharing networks. "They feared that to even look at or inquire about what was happening in the file sharing universe would somehow compromise their unflinching stance that this was unauthorized."
But as the initial furor over P2P died down, labels began monitoring file sharing networks through BigChampagne and other services. The data they find there continues to help them in any number of ways, from choosing which leaked song to use as the single, to where a band should tour based on the IP addresses of its fans, to figuring out which artists should perform on the same bill.
The labels beat down Napster, Kazaa, Scour and other P2P networks, and if today's Pirate Bay verdict stands, they will have beaten four Swedes too. Meanwhile, new ways to share files continue to surface, including private and encrypted networks. And The Pirate Bay developers say mirrors exist in other countries, so no matter what happens in Sweden their site will continue to operate. Besides, The Pirate Bay is only one bit-torrent tracker site.
For some, the offense committed by an enabler like The Pirate Bay — as opposed to the people who actually do upload and share copyright material — may be difficult to grasp. You can also find torrents on several other sites — even on Google's search engine. And YouTube hosts pirated copyright material, until and unless it is asked to remove it by the owner, because it is unable to programmatically detect which video clips are pirated.
But the difference is that Google, Yahoo and MSN aspire to catalog everything indiscriminately, while services like The Pirate Bay explicitly cater to practitioners of digital piracy — and are proud of it, to boot.
Even as the content industry celebrates another false victory over file sharing, the world is moving on, to cloud-based, on-demand streaming services — some licensed — where you can hear music and watch videos faster and in a more social way than you can with bit torrent. And as content holders look to monetize those networks, P2P networks provide the only useful template, because they share so many characteristics with today's social-media networks.

Google took the wraps off a partnership with Hollywood studios bringing movies and TV shows to U.S. consumers via its YouTube video network. Some of the big-named partners inking a deal with YouTube are Sony, CBS, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, BBC and independent film studio Lions Gate Entertainment. Each agreed to showcase some of their catalog content on the Google-owned video site.
Separated from the plethora of user-generated videos, the shows and movies are situated in a dedicated Shows section on YouTube, available from the main page. The content offered will be free to view but it is supported by ads -- the revenue being shared with content owners.
YouTube's move to premium content comes to counter the ever-growing popularity of sites like Hulu, which freely offer movies and TV shows for viewing. However, most of the studio movies and shows added on YouTube are more than a decade old (Fantasy Island, Alf, Party of Five), while NBC-owned Hulu offers most of the new shows just a few days after they air on TV.
Google is hoping that these full-length movies and video will help YouTube salvage through advertising revenue some of the over $500 million some predict it loses yearly on bandwidth costs. In ordeGoogle took the wraps off a partnership with Hollywood studios bringing movies and TV... more

YouTube Adds Movies, TV; Fails Miserably
Partners like Crackle, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, and Starz made thousands of TV episodes and hundreds of movies available on YouTube for consumers to watch for free beginning on Thursday, in a bid to challenge Hulu for dominance in the online video space.
Don't believe it. Google has amassed a TV lineup only a sick old retiree could love, with movies that belong in the dollar VHS bin. At this point, the shocking lack of content only highlights how competitors like Hulu can and will succeed in a cutthroat market where content is king. Quite frankly, it's a little embarrassing.
The new YouTube format includes both a "Shows" and a "Subscriptions" tab. Users can access to both TV shows and movie in the 'Shows" tab, and sign up for "fresh content from their favorite creators," via "Subscriptions," according to a blog post from Shiva Rajaraman, a product manager at Google, and Sara Pollack, an entertainment marketing manager. Subscriptions aren't curently allowed outside the United States, but they will be soon, they said.
Unfortunately, neither indicated the startling lack of quality content within the new offerings.

Google-owned YouTube, bowing to the success of rival online video site Hulu, is shifting beyond short-form clips with a new area devoted to TV shows and older movies.
Unlike Hulu, which has access to most of the current prime-time lineup from NBC and Fox (including 30 Rock and The Simpsons), YouTube has only one major network prime-time TV show, CBS' Harper's Island. The rest of the 1,000-plus shows are golden nuggets such as Beverly Hillbillies, Charlie's Angels, Bewitched and The Addams Family.
YouTube is the Web's dominant video site, but advertisers have been reluctant to spend big bucks there because so much of the fare is homemade video clips and instructional videos.
Madison Avenue prefers sites like Hulu, which have "premium" fare and a more targeted audience, says Phil Leigh, an analyst at Inside Digital Media.
"This is a significant step forward for YouTube, but also a consolation prize," he says. "The studios are more comfortable elsewhere and won't give YouTube their best content."
Still, he notes that YouTube's audience of nearly 90 million users is "equal to all the cable TV and satellite" subscribers in the United States and more than 10 times the size of Hulu's audience.
"If only one-tenth of the users care about Bewitched or The Addams Family and watch, advertisers will be very happy," he says.
In March, according to market tracker Nielsen Online, Hulu had 8.8 million users in the U.S., and showed 348 million videos, compared with 89.4 million visitors and 5.7 billion videos shown at YouTube.
Before Thursday, YouTube's vast offerings consisted of mostly short clips except for three older TV shows, the original Star Trek,MacGyver and Beverly Hills, 90210.
Beyond the new shows, YouTube also is introducing traditional advertising methods for sponsors, via what it calls Google TV. Standard ads will appear at the beginning and middle of the show.
What's different is that the ads work on the same auction model Google uses for search ads: Marketers bid on advertising in specific shows and pay a rate based on market interest.Google-owned YouTube, bowing to the success of rival online video site Hulu, is... more

PARIS — A court in Sweden on Friday convicted four men linked to the notorious Internet file-sharing service The Pirate Bay of violating copyright law, handing the music and movie industries a high-profile victory in their campaign to curb online piracy.
The court found that the men — the three founders, Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Peter Sunde, as well as Carl Lundstrom, who provided financing — had aided copyright infringement by operating the site, which provides links to thousands of songs, films, video games and other material, and helps users download them.
They were each sentenced to a year in prison and were also ordered to pay 30 million kronor, or about $3.6 million, in damages to leading entertainment companies.
The case has drawn a huge amount of attention among Internet users and media companies alike because of the size of The Pirate Bay — it is estimated to have more than 20 million users — and the defiant stance of its operators. The trial this winter took place amid a carnival atmosphere in Stockholm, with bands playing outside the courtroom and bloggers Twittering away.PARIS — A court in Sweden on Friday convicted four men linked to the notorious... more

Monday's naming of Ian Gershengorn, to become the department's deputy assistant attorney of the Civil Division, comes more than a week after nearly two-dozen public interest groups, trade pacts and library coalitions urged the new president to quit filling his administration with lawyers plucked from the Recording Industry Association of America.
The move makes it five RIAA lawyers Obama has appointed to the Justice Department.
Picture_28 Gershengorn, left, a partner with RIAA-firm Jenner & Block, represented the labels against Grokster (.pdf) and will be in charge of the DOJ Federal Programs Branch. That's the unit that just told a federal judge the Obama administration supports monetary damages as high as $150,000 per purloined music track on a peer-to-peer file sharing program.
In addition to Gershengorn, the other Jenner & Block attorneys appointed to the Justice Department include:
*Donald Verrilli, associate deputy attorney general — the No. 3 in the DOJ, who unsuccessfully urged a federal judge to uphold the $222,000 file sharing verdict against Jammie Thomas.
*Tom Perrilli, as Verrilli's former boss, the Justice Department's No. 2 argued in 2002 that internet service providers should release customer information to the RIAA even without a court subpoena.
*Brian Hauck, counsel to associate attorney general, worked on the Grokster case on behalf of the record labels.

Paris, April 9, 2009 - In a surprising turn of events, the national assembly has rejected the HADOPI bill creating the "three strikes" scheme in France, in the final discussion, by a vote of 15 in favor and 21 opposed.
The voice of the people and the innumerable criticisms1 raised against the nonsensical, dangerous bill ended in being heard. This law planned to give the entertainment industries the power to police the Internet by themselves, as well as creating an administrative body that would sanction internet users with no opposable or verifiable proofs. By an unexpected majority including members from all parties, the vote by a show of hands rejected the bill definitively, against all expectations.
"This is a formidable victory for all citizens. This vote shows that it is still possible to make oneself heard. It is a fantastic example of how to use the Net to fight against those who are trying to control it. Individual liberties, in the end, have not been sacrificed to try to preserve the corporate interests of some obsolete industries. The HADOPI law has been interred earlier than expected" states Jérémie Zimmermann, co-founder and spokesperson of La Quadrature du Net.
Nonetheless, La Quadrature du Net asks its supportes to remain vigilant. The rejection of HADOPI doesn't mean the end of the government's attempts to control the Internet. We must continue to make use of our collective intelligence and the power of the net to preserve justice and the truth.Paris, April 9, 2009 - In a surprising turn of events, the national assembly has... more

South Korea is becoming a harsh ground for the file sharing lovers but will it also become a difficult territory for blogosphere, freedom online and the Internet world altogether?
The new anti-file sharing stipulation has been approved by the National Assembly after a close vote on April 1and in spite of strong criticism and protests coming from Internet companies and civil liberties supporters.
`The law could have the government shutting down not only major Web portals, but online message boards of smaller companies and even `meta sites' that compile blog posts. And the member blogs of the meta sites could be interpreted as online message boards, too," writes Sogumi, a popular blogger who posts his writings on Tatter Media (tattermedia.com).
"The law draws a dreadful picture of the future, as Internet users will be required to submit their real names to post on individual blogs and not even imagine using the online message boards of Web portals or meta sites due to the worries of having his or her Internet cut off."
However, the real problem might just beginning as South Korea’s attempt to combat illegal file-sharing could be taken a step too far. The new legislation will affect not only the average Internet user but also websites and forums. A site accused of hosting unauthorized content risks to be shut down by the government for six months (or perhaps longer).South Korea is becoming a harsh ground for the file sharing lovers but will it also... more

It is no secret that anti-piracy companies want to spoil all your sharing and caring. They have sued people, they have threatened people, they even affect your opinion with advertisements inside movies.
But what happened yesterday, is something outrageous and they’ll surely regret it. Someone created a project at GetAFreelancer.com (Page Mirror), in which he states that he’s going to pay people to upload fake torrents.
But why don’t we spoil his fun now!
The music & movie industry is known to upload fake torrents at trackers. With those, they can trap you and collect your IP-address and may threaten or sue you afterward. They mostly hire other companies to do it, so they won’t spoil their own good name. But those companies need independent people too. Until yesterday, it was a mystery how they recruited them.
At the GetAFreeLancer site, that’s made to get a freelancer (could’ve guessed that one), a user, called csebastian posted a project. You can sign up for it, and the wage can go up to $250 dollars per job.
This is the description of the project:
Looking for people to upload popular movie torrents
I will provide the names
Ok so basically you will upload Movie torrents that are new and with popular tracker names like Axxo , HDTV and others
I need only serious people who are willing to make a great job !
As of now, we’ve got no clue who csebastian is, and if he’s truly an employee of the RIAA, MPAA or some other scum company. Maybe you will tell? All information would be great!

President Obama on Tuesday nominated Julius Genachowski as the nation's top telecommunications regulator, picking a campaign advisor who has divided his career between Washington, D.C., political jobs and working as an Internet executive.
Genachowski had been mentioned as a likely candidate for the Federal Communications Commission post, in part because he participated in the Obama campaign's Internet efforts and previously worked as chief counsel to Democratic FCC Chairman Reed Hundt.
"He will bring to the job diverse and unparalleled experience in communications and technology, with two decades of accomplishment in the private sector and public service," Obama said in a statement.
Genachowski is likely to continue the Democratic push for more Net neutrality regulations, which are opposed by some conservatives and telecommunications providers. He was a top Obama technology advisor and aided in crafting a technology platform that supported Net neutrality rules.
The FCC's first official Net neutrality ruling--an earlier one resulted in a settlement--came last summer when the agency narrowly voted by a 3-2 margin that Comcast's throttling of BitTorrent was unlawful. That case is now before a federal appeals court.
Genachowski was a Harvard classmate of Obama's and previously worked for Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer. He's currently a co-founder of LaunchBox Digital and Rock Creek Ventures, and held executive posts including general counsel at IAC/InterActiveCorp, which owns a list of Web properties including Ask.com, Match.com, Gifts.com, Reference.com, Evite, Citysearch, and Excite.
IAC is a member of a coalition that supports more Net neutrality regulations and which also includes Amazon, eBay, and Google.

A Cranberry company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks discovered a potentially serious security breach involving President Barack Obama’s helicopter.
Tiversa employees found engineering and communications information about Marine One at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.
”We found a file containing entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One, which is the president's helicopter," said Bob Boback, CEO of Tiversa.
The company told Target 11 that it was able to trace the file back to its original source.
"What appears to be a defense contractor in Bethesda, Md., had a file sharing program on one of their systems that also contained highly sensitive blueprints for Marine One," Boback said.
Tiversa also found sensitive financial information about the cost of the helicopter on that same computer.
Boback said someone from the company most likely downloaded a file-sharing program, typically used to exchange music, not realizing the potential problems.
"When downloading one of these file-sharing programs, you are effectively allowing others around the world to access your hard drive," Boback said.
"We found where this information came from," said Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, an adviser to Tiversa. "We know exactly what computer it came from. I'm sure that person is embarrassed and may even lose their job, but we know where it came from and we know where it went."
Boback notified the government immediately and said appropriate steps are being taken.
“They are working through a process to maintain the security of the president,” Boback said.
Iran is not the only country that appears to be accessing this type of information through file-sharing programs.
“We've noticed it out of Pakistan, Yemen, Qatar, and China. They are actively searching for information that is disclosed in this fashion because it is a great source of intelligence,” Boback said.
Clark said he doesn't know how sensitive this information is, but he said other military information has been found on the Internet in the past.
He said this needs to be monitored more closely and Rep. Jason Altmire agreed. He said, "Well, I'm very troubled to hear this because there are obviously elements in Iran that are not friendly to the United States and it would be an understatement to say that this type of information could be very detrimental were it to fall into the wrong hands."
Altmire said he will ask Congress to investigate how to prevent this from happening again.
Clark said, “Once it's out there, it's hard to get it back. I don't think the full ramifications of this have been understood by the watchdog agencies.”
Target 11 investigator Rick Earle called the White House Press Office and the Pentagon and left messages for a comment on this story, so far Earle has not gotten any response.
Tiversa was founded in 2004 by Robert Boback and Sam Hopkins, both Pittsburgh natives.
Boback is a Norwin High School graduate and got his college degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
Co-founder Hopkins is a Peabody High graduate and started Nauticom and went on to work for Fiore Systems and the Marconi Company.A Cranberry company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks discovered a... more
