district court judge

I used to teach a course to staff at King's College London on copyright law, and one of the main pieces of advice I gave was that contrary to popular belief, content on the internet is not free.

Yes, you can access certain information online, but this does not mean that is legal to upload or download it, as the case may be.

Yesterday saw Barry Gitarts convicted by a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement.

Last week a court ruled that Israel’s largest ISPs should block access to HttpShare, a BitTorrent and http hyperlink site.

Thanks to what the owners call “IFPI advertising”, the site is now so busy they’ve had to upgrade their hardware.

TorrentFreak caught up with them as they cracked open the champagne.

Following pressure from the IFPI, a court has ruled that ISPs should be forced to block access to a file-sharing link site.

The Haifa District Court in Israel has ordered that the country’s three largest ISPs should block access to HttpShare.com, a BitTorrent and http hyperlink-only website.

While patent attorneys seem to love filing suits in East Texas, I'm guessing they may try to start avoiding filing suits in Colorado.
