US, British, Australian, New Zealand and South Korean governments are among those which have tried to toe the Big Music and Hollywood line.

p2pnet news view P2P:- In a major screw-up, the Associated Press ran internal notes about the arrest of film director Roman Polanski instead of a story. “The document details an exchange of messages between reporters about Mr Polanski, who was held in Switzerland and faces extradition to the US,” says the BBC .

p2pnet news view | Off Topic:- People are killing themselves “in the age of the BlackBerry,” Canada’s ubiquitous handheld, originally introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager but now the principal source of communication for millions of people around the world A mind-boggling string of suicides at France Telecom is being blamed on a, “barrage of emails from smartphones and personal computers” which are “stressing out employees,” says The Age , attributing the Blackberry comment to France Telecom CFO Gervais Pellissier. “France Telecom, which operates under the Orange brand, has come under public scrutiny after 22 workers committed suicide and another 13 attempted to kill themselves since the start of last year,” says the story, noting CEO Didier Lombard said the company was, “adding surveillance and counselling services as the pace of suicides among employees had picked up”. The company argues the number is no higher than the national average, but trades unions are demanding a parliamentary inquiry into the deaths, “which they blame on stress linked to massive restructuring at the company, involving forced transfers and the introduction of new profit targets,” says the story, continuing »»» Pellissier said some employees were clearly feeling a lot of pressure due to the privatisation of France Telecom, but he added that this was compounded by new technologies that cause work to encroach increasingly on personal lives

French court hands GPL victory IT Wire It’s the reason why Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer calls Linux viral. But French courts obviously think it has merit because the GNU General Public Licence has been upheld in a court of appeals in France. What’s more, the ruling (PDF in French) came following a submission by a user, not the copyright holder, according to a statement by the Free Software Foundation’s branch in France

Posted in filesharing on September 25th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

p2pnet news view Politics | Music:- It seems UK peer  (no, not that kind) Lord Mandelson is close to deciding the better part of valour is discretion in the UK chapter of the online file sharing farce, in which he’s front and centre. In other words, it looks as though he’s about to weasel out. Mandelson thought he was onto a good thing when he embroiled himself in the British end of the entertainment cartel Three Strikes anti-P2P, anti-file sharing, anti-consumer screw-up

Domain names, not door prizes

Posted in Uncategorized on September 23rd, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

p2pnet news view P2P:- The Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the agency that administers the dot-ca domain name, holds its annual general meeting in Toronto later this week.  Attendees will vie for door prizes and hear from executives about the growing number of Canadian domain name registrations, the robust financial health of the organization, and a small list of corporate by-law amendments.  Yet as CIRA moves into its second decade, the promise of a leading Internet voice in Canada and an active, engaged membership is gradually fading away. Engaging Canadians was viewed as a top priority during the organization’s early years (I was a board member from 2001-06).  Meetings were held in communities across the country in an effort to educate Canadians on the dot-ca and to encourage participation in Internet governance issues.  The annual general meeting was webcast to ensure all Canadians could attend, even if only virtually. While CIRA never managed to become a household name – many registrants simply want their website or email to work without regard for bigger policy issues – it could count on hundreds of Canadians to vote for the board of directors, participate in consultations, and show their interest in how Canada’s domain name space should be managed.
