POPSTIF: téléchargement légal en Suisse? Une tessinoise, a-t-on appris dernièrement, s'est fait trainer devant le tribunal pour avoir téléchargé et échangé un certain nombre de fichiers audio et vidéo. Le droit en Suisse est clair: le téléchargement est licite, c'est l'échange qui ne l'est pas! Si vous vous faites interpeler, ne vous laissez pas faire! Il faut que ceux qui vous accusent prouvent que c'est bien vous-même qui étiez devant votre PC durant le téléchargement. Ecoutez cette chronique de Couleur3, elle est très instructive...

POPSPresumably you have a Gmail account, and do not object to Google's policies From article. Full article at source. "If Google builds a database of keywords associated with email addresses, the potential for abuse is staggering. Google could grow a database that spits out the email addresses of those who used those keywords. How about words such as "box cutters" in the same email as "airline schedules"? Can you think of anyone who might be interested in obtaining a list of email addresses for that particular combination? Or how about "mp3" with "download"? Since the RIAA has sent subpoenas to Internet service providers and universities in an effort to identify copyright abusers, why should we expect Gmail to be off-limits? "

POPSRIAA lawsuit campaign loses credibility Since September of 2003, the recording industry has leveled legal threats against close to 30,000 American music fans. In a report released today, "RIAA v. The People: Five Years Later," the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) presents a comprehensive overview of the RIAA's litigation campaign and concludes that it is hurting music fans and artists alike, without making a dent in unauthorized file-sharing. "If the RIAA wants to keep suing hundreds of people each month and collecting these huge settlements, it can't take shortcuts," said EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry. "It's not enough to say the law 'could have been' broken and demand thousands of dollars to make the accusation go away. The recording industry must prove its case and show that infringement actually occurred."

POPSDoes Joe Biden hate techies? Barack's VP pick has a pretty rough record when it comes to the government's handling of copyright protection. But his tech savvy still trumps McCain, who by all appearances has only learned about electricity in recent briefings with his staff aides.
