[dvd-discuss] a little help here

["aicra(at)well.com" <aicra(at)well.com>]

ok, I'm really confused. A little help here please.

Even if the central server was purportedly like Napster which collected
search results to a central server and could have been considered not so
much accessory to infringement, but able to control the distribution of
those files, was there a non commercial angle?

This p2p was in china, right. And the "infringers"... were they making
money somehow on the songs?

ok, I see, it was a centralized server... like napster, at least that's
what the article states...so in that case, yes, DMCA.

According to the article, Sen Brownback wanted to amend the FTC bill
requiring that DMCA subpoenas can only be issued AFTER copyright holder
filed a court case or civil action. This was not set in motion because
McCain said he would hold a hearing about the issue.

I don't know all the details of the Verizon case, But I'll BET those are
not DMCA issues at all, but rather AHRA issues. (and I'll keep bringing up
the AHRA until I see some kind of evidence to the contrary).

A computer is not a device specifically designed to store and record audio.
And if there was music trading for personal use p2p... legally, the AHRA
stands.
