This site is devoted to copyright and issues of 'intellectual property,' particularly the issue's analytical aspects. It also concerns itself with the gap between public perception and the true facts, and with the significant lag time between the coverage on more technical sites and the mainstream press.

BT raids extend to Europe as well.

The next generation of anti-circumvention for DVDs. "We would rather chase professional pirates than College students."

More on the latest anti-BT, EDonkey, and DC++ lawsuits. Not sure about how the legality of this will work...the trackers generally don't host the files. Copyright law may work differently, but the 'right to link' has been well established in case law.

DRM interoperability ain't lookin' so hot.

Open access. I'm a big fan. Generally the proposals so far seem remarkably similar to the way copyright used to be: limited-time protection, followed by open access. Scientific publishing is particularly egregious because those who pay for the content (e.g. taxpayers) aren't the ones who benefit (e.g. the publishers).

TinyP2P, a nice example of the cat-out-of-the-bag syndrome of Internet legislation, reminiscent of the campaign to distribute the DeCSS code as widely as possible.

More P2P TV...SNIU.

IM and P2P threat center launched.

Canadian teens love P2P as well.
