EU domain registry hijacked? |
|
|
Europe's brand new .eu top level domain has been hijacked, according to one of the internet's leading registrars.
GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons has laid into .eu registry owner EURid for approving hundreds of what he calls "phantom" registrars who have walked away with the bulk of the 1.4m .eu domains registered since the domain was opened to the public earlier this week.

The Motion Picture Assn. of America, the leader in the global fight against movie piracy, is being accused of unlawfully making a bootleg copy of a do*****entary that takes a critical look at the MPAA's film ratings system.
The MPAA admitted Monday that it had duplicated "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" without the filmmaker's permission after director Kirby Dick submitted his movie in November for an MPAA rating. The Hollywood trade organization said that it did not break copyright law, insisting that the dispute is part of a Dick-orchestrated "publicity stunt" to boost the film's profile.

Critical Microsoft WMF flaw fix |
|
|
After a premature release yesterday, Microsoft is now providing the official patch for the critical WMF security hole described by F-Secure as "probably bigger than … any other vulnerability we’ve seen".
Hackers are currently taking advantage of the flaw.
"If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system," say Bill and the Boyz.
"An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights."
Microsoft is recommending that anyone with affected systems should apply the fix immediately.
Affected Software:
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
* Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SP1 for Itanium-based Systems
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition
* Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME)

Three US firms closed on spyware charges |
|
|
A US court has shut down three internet companies for secretly bundling malicious "spyware" with ring tones, music programs and other free high-tech goodies. The malicious software tracked victims' internet activity, hijacked their home pages and deluged them with unwanted "pop up" ads, the FTC said.
The assets of Enternet Media Inc. and Conspy Co. Inc., based in California, and Iwebtunes, based in Ohio, have been frozen pending further court action, the FTC said. The court also ordered all three firms to halt downloads of the software.

“P2P is like stealing a CD from a shop!†“We have to protect artists who are being robbed by consumers on the Internetâ€. Big music and film companies are continuously feeding us claims like this on television, on the street and in the newspapers - painting private consumers as pirates and criminal. The same companies publish guides telling consumers what they cannot do in the digital world. For these companies, consumers have no rights in buying CDs, DVDs or other digital material - apart from a few generously bestowed exceptions!

Grokster to pay $50 million |
|
|
Grokster has agreed to pay $50 million to settle with the entertainment cartels and can, "resume business once it comes up with an alternate strategy that compensates copyright owners," says BusinessWeek Online, going on:
"The settlement caps the victory won by film and recording industries on June 27, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Grokster and another file-sharing service, StreamCast, showed a clear intent to facilitate illegal activity.
"The decision by the high court paved the way for media heavyweights to sue in a bid to halt piracy."

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 - Grokster, a developer of file-swapping software used to trade copyrighted music and movie files, said Monday that it would halt distribution of the software and cut off support for its associated network as part of a landmark settlement with the recording industry and Hollywood studios.
The pact comes four months after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Grokster could be held liable for copyright infringement by users of its software, a decision that delivered a decisive victory for entertainment companies, particularly music labels, which have blamed widespread digital piracy for a worldwide slump in sales.

iMesh's music filters skipping a bit |
|
|
The new iMesh, launched last week as the first record label-approved file-swapping service, has a Led Zeppelin problem.
Like its peers in the digital music business, from Napster to Apple Computer's iTunes, iMesh does not have the legal rights to distribute recordings from the popular 1970s rockers. But using the company's new service, it requires only a quick point and click of the mouse to download several of Led Zeppelin's biggest hits.
