We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

one victory in the war against the greedy corporations

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday April 26, 2003 21:59author by watha@monitortan.com Report this post to the editors

but this is only one battle in a long war


Subject: summary judgemnet order (grokster, etc.)


on_motions.php

A federal judge in Los Angeles has handed a stunning court victory to
file-swapping services Streamcast Networks and Grokster, dismissing much of
the record industry and movie studios' lawsuit against the two companies.
In an almost complete reversal of previous victories for the record labels
and movie studios, federal court Judge Stephen Wilson ruled that
Streamcast--parent of the Morpheus software--and Grokster were not liable
for copyright infringements that took place using their software. The ruling
does not directly affect Kazaa, software distributed by Sharman Networks,
which has also been targeted by the entertainment industry.

"Defendants distribute and support software, the users of which can and do
choose to employ it for both lawful and unlawful ends," Wilson wrote in his
opinion, released Friday. "Grokster and Streamcast are not significantly
different from companies that sell home video recorders or copy machines,
both of which can be and are used to infringe copyrights."

So, the system works. Opps.

author by fans are doing it for themselvespublication date Sun Apr 27, 2003 16:12author address author phone Report this post to the editors

canny trot is wrong the system works sometimes otherwise it would not have survived this long! This is just a temporary victory there is too much money at stake for the corporations to give up easily. But millions of muisic fans will fight on (pity they dont have a revolutionary trot party to lead them to defeat)

the system does not work, it just trys to bend instead of breaking. it will always make the concessions, if possible, necessary to maintain the inequality of privilege.

system failure can only be achieved when the fundamentals of the system are the issue.

lol at "lead them to defeat"
