Felix von Leitner on the DVD CSS crack
According to the articles:
"It is difficult (next to impossible) to copyright digital content. So the film industry decided to implement a copy protection scheme (it does not matter if it works or not) and legally protect that. Then, if anyone copies a DVD, they can sue him on violating the copy protection rights."
"...Actually there is a conspiracy theory that the film industry deliberately made the standard weak so they more people would break it and they could get more money out of the combined lawsuits. An interesting side-note is that they actually did ask an expert (at least one expert, the Intel security officer who designed the DVD key exchange with the 409 player keys). That expert told them that their cryptography was weak and they did not listen to him."

P2P User Fights RIAA Subpoena
According to the articles:
'"How much money they actually win is meaningless," says Forrester analyst Josh Bernoff. The RIAA will spend $100,000 on lawyers to win $15,000 cases. "The objective here is not to win money; the objective is to scare people," Bernoff said.'
"According to court records, Jane Doe used Kazaa , but she tried to prevent other P2P users from accessing files on her PC. She used the Kazaa software mostly as a music player to listen to music from her own CDs as well as files that were bundled with her computer, court documents claim."

Developers of IIP gear up for anonymous p2p app
According to the articles:
"A brief chat with developers of IIP on IIP has revealed they have a new anonymous p2p network in store for us called simply "i2p". Some of the framework has been posted on "jrand0m's flog", a freesite on freenet.
They describe it as the next step in the development of IIP which is an anonymous IRC service that has been running for some time now (http://www.invisiblenet.net).
A brief chat with jrand0m has enabled me to ascertain the program is due for public release in September of this year."

P2P's little secret
According to the articles:
"File swappers hoping to share music and other works online without exposing their identity to the prying eyes of copyright enforcers face a tough choice."
"One way to achieve reasonable anonymity for downloading files, experts say, is to find a free 802.11 Wi-Fi access point that does not require a password or a subscription. Because anyone can access the wireless network without identifying herself or himself first, lawyers from the RIAA would have difficulty tracking down individual users."
"Given the RIAA's history of lawsuits, Rotenberg said he fears the worst. "To the extent that anonymity appears on the RIAA radar screen--as have P2P and other technologies that stand in the way of copyright enforcement--you can be sure that RIAA attorneys will launch a frontal assault, regardless of the constitutional implications," Rotenberg said."
