Viacom: All your YouTube viewing data are belong to us
By: Davey Winder

A judge has ordered that YouTube must hand over every record of every video watched by YouTube users to Viacom. That's the user name, address and IP address relating to every video clip you ever watched. The data, contained on a set of four terabyte hard drives, is to be used to help Viacom prove that copyright infringing material is more popular than user-generated video content.

Swedish “Pirate Bay” under new legal attack
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt

Torrent download site, the Pirate Bay is in the legal firing line once again, this time from lawyers representing Prince and the Village People. However, if the Pirate Bay’s other responses to letters they have received from companies around the world are any indication, their response will likely be little more than a line from the Village People’s hit: you can’t stop the music, nobody can stop the music (or the Pirate Bay!).

RIAA, MPAA: Be Careful what you Wish For
By: David Heath

Schemes are being hatched to make it harder and harder to download copyrighted material across the internet.  Seems they will be just as successful as the method to stop people recording CDs to tape in the “old days.”  And just as ludicrous.
