Excellent bien que méconnu en Europe, FrostWire est le clone parfait de LimeWire, le célèbre logiciel de P2P qui a fait revivre Gnutella. L'éditeur de LimeWire - aujourd'hui poursuivi par la RIAA, a décidé de filtrer le partage des fichiers MP3 suite à des menaces judiciaires de l'industrie du disque. C'est assez logiquement que la communauté open-source a [Lire la suite]

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "We have recently learned that another law school legal aid clinic has joined the fight against the RIAA. Student attorneys from the Consumer and Commercial Law Clinic of the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, New Hampshire, working under law school faculty supervision, are representing a lady targeted by the RIAA in UMG Recording v. Roy in New Hampshire. The case is scheduled for trial next Fall. That makes at least 4 law schools providing anti-RIAA defense services: University of Maine, University of San Francisco, Franklin Pierce, and, most recently, Harvard. Hopefully many more will follow. One commentator theorizes that this news 'will ... encourage[e] professors and students at other law schools to take on hitherto defenseless people being pilloried by the corporate music industry.'"pa href="http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/1826210amp;from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/12/04/1826210"/a/ppa href="http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/04/1826210amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/3nel6kObvvR54dPfENeufwAyO_0/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/3nel6kObvvR54dPfENeufwAyO_0/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/LjnoidIJqs8" height="1" width="1"/

Charlie Nesson, William F Weld Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and whom has taken up the case of accused file-sharer Joel Tenenbaum, gives his thoughts on the case against him. Yesterday the Berkman Center for Internet and Society published an interview between David Weinberger, Charlie Nesson and Joel Tennenbaum about the upcoming lawsuit against the RIAA in which the statutory damages for file sharing are being challenged.  The case, which they are characterising as being a ‘David v Goliath’ battle, concerns Tennenbaum making available 7 songs in a shared folder when he was 17 years old.  Tennenbaum explains how he began by representing himself in the action: “When they first send you a letter they give you a number to call and it’s like the ‘Pay Us Hotline’ and the people that pick up the phones aren’t lawyers they’re just operators..

Ignores the fact that mother makes a mere $8 bucks/hr, and both are already overwhelmed with medical debts. The RIAA has managed to outdo itself once again and target an even more economically disadvantaged individual than ever before. This time it's 19yo teen transplant candidate Ciara Sauro who's been diagnosed with pancreatitis and awaiting a islet cell transplant. Hospitalized weekly, and in the care of here mother who makes only $8.25p/hr, the family is unable to pay the nearly $8,000 in fines the RIAA is demanding.
