TorrentSpy deberá pagar 110 millones de dólares a la MPAA
2008-05-08 11:20:00 TorrentSpy llegó a ser en su momento uno de los mayores buscadores de trackers para BitTorrent de Internet. Tanto es así que en agosto del año pasado, cuando daba sus últimos coletazos, se calcula que tenía en su base de datos más de 1.000.000 de torrents indexados y cada día se añadían varios miles más. Pero su éxito, lejos de cubrir en dólares a sus administradores, los ha acabado conduciendo a la perdición. Y es que la Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), la organización que agrupa a las grandes productoras cinematográficas estadounidenses, emprendió una batalla judicial contra este sitio en febrero del 2006 y acusó a sus propietarios de permitir que millones de personas de todo el mundo pudieran descargarse películas gratuitamente. Tras un año y medio de juicio, el pasado mes de diciembre la corte encargada del caso hizo pública su sentencia y ésta no pudo ser peor para los intereses de TorrentSpy. El magistrado reconoció la ilegalidad de los actos llevados a cabo por...

La MPAA demanda a un servicio P2P patrocinado por Google
2008-02-18 13:05:00 La Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), entidad que agrupa a los grandes estudios de Hollywood, ha decidido llevar ante los tribunales a Shenzhen Xunlei Networking Technology, un servicio P2P muy popular en China. La demanda argumenta que esta red permite a sus usuarios descargar cientos de películas ilegalmente, por lo que pretenden que la empresa asiática les abone un millón de dólares en concepto de daños y perjuicios y que además reconozca que con la red que han puesto en marcha han vulnerado los derechos de propiedad intelectual de las productoras estadounidenses. Una demanda más, podríais decir. Pues no. O no del todo, para ser más exactos. Lo que hace diferente a este caso es que Google está de por medio después que el año pasado invirtiera 5 millones de dólares en Xunlei. A decir verdad resulta cuando menos paradójico que las mismas empresas que en occidente se congratulan de luchar denodadamente contra las supuestas descargas ilegales, hagan exactamente lo contr...

MPAA Admits ?Math Error,? Viewers Flock to Online Video
2008-01-25 19:21:00 Now, we all know that college students aren't necessarily the best-behaved people on the planet, but to hear the movie studios tell it, college students are the enemy that must be destroyed. Much of that belief might have been based on a study the Motion Picture Association of America commissioned in 2006, which found that college students were responsible for more than 40 percent of all illegal movie downloads.

MPAA Admits Error - SendMeRSS
2008-01-23 21:26:00 MPAA Admits ErrorThe MPAA has been on the case of colege students for years, pressuring scools to crack down on student residences that were causing the industry 44% of its total losses. We get wind today that this was flat out bullshit, thanks to the fabled caves of Yahoo! In a 2005 study it commissioned, the Motion Picture Association of America claimed that 44 percent of the industry’s domestic losses came from illegal downloading of movies by college students, who often have access to high-bandwidth networks on campus. But now the MPAA, which represents the U.S. motion picture industry, has told education groups a “human error” in that survey caused it to get the number wrong. It now blames college students for about 15 percent of revenue loss. The MPAA says that’s still significant, and justifies a major effort by colleges and universities to crack down on illegal file-sharing. But Mark Luker, vice president of campus IT group Educause, says it doesn&...

MPAA Violating the GPL License?
2007-12-28 15:28:00 The Motion Picture Association of America or MPAA has been forced to stop distributing its “University Toolkit†online. Many are familiar with MPAA as they are in the forefront of Anti-Piracy campaigns especially via BitTorrent and related sites. But just like Microsoft Philippines being sued for piracy, the MPAA is being accused of violating the holy GPL license where ‘all modifications to software licensed under the GPL, however minor, must be released’. Once again, here’s another issue that shows us how these fore runners of the Anti-Piracy movement are they themselves in violation of “Intellectual Property Rights Law“.

Con la inestimable ayuda de la Recording Industry Association of America, y amparándose en una legislación estadounidense que parece hecha a la medida de ambas, desde el 2004 han presentado más de 10.000 demandas judiciales contra empresas que desarrollaban programas P2P, contra webs que ponían a disposición de sus usuarios enlaces para descargar archivos a través de programas de pares como BitTorrent o eMule y, sobre todo, contra internautas que han cometido el terrible delito de compartir gratuitamente películas, videoclips y/o canciones que previamente habían adquirido o descargado de la Red.

La MPAA crea un falso sitio de descargas para cazar a los internautas
2007-07-04 13:08:00 ¿Os suena el dominio MiiVi.com? ¿No? Bueno, pues me atrevo a deciros que mejor que no lo conozcáis de nada, puesto que es el último, absurdo y desesperado intento de los estudios de Hollywood y de las discográficas norteamericanas para intimidar a los internautas y frenar las descargas de archivos desde las redes de pares. El portal se ha hecho muy famoso en las últimas horas después que se haya descubierto que ha sido creado para engañar a los usuarios de Internet haciéndonos creer que si nos bajamos un programa que publicitan podremos acceder a todo tipo de material sujeto a derechos de autor de manera rápida y segura. Lo que no nos dicen -seguro que se les ha olvidado, pobrecitos- es que el software, una vez instalado, comienza a escanear el contenido de nuestros discos duros en busca de películas o canciones que nos hayamos descargado y, si los encuentra, envía estos datos a la industria audiovisual estadounidense. Lo curioso del caso es que hasta hace unas horas, si hacíamos...
