Does 1-27, the Portland, Maine, case targetting 27 University of Maine students, the RIAA has filed its opposition to the motions by one group of John Does to vacate the ex parte discovery order, quash the subpoena issued pursuant to the order, and vacate the declaration of Carlos Linares. This is the same case in which -Magistrate Judge Kravchuk has suggested the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions based on false statements of fact made by the RIAA lawyers in order to justify the mRIAA brings third proceeding against University of Maine "John Does"; this time Court does not sign ex parte discovery orderLink: recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com The RIAA has commenced yet another case targeting University of Maine Students, BMG v. Does 1-11. Like all other "John Doe" cases brought by the RIAA, it was brought ex parte. This time, however, the judge declined to sign the proposed ex parte discovery order, noting thatI see no reason for the court to take immediate action in this case as there is no evidence that records are about to be destroyed.The Court ordered the records to be unsealed, directed the RIAA to give copies of the motionMediaDefender becomes MediaAttackerLink: mathewingram.com We’ve all heard of some boneheaded moves on the part of the record industry when it comes to dealing with the rampant downloading of music. Take the Sony rootkit, for example, not to mention suing 12-year-olds and then wondering why the PR outcome is less than desirable. But I have to say that this incident really takes the cake. According to Jim Louderback of Revision3, the TV arm of the Digg empire, the company’s BitTorrent server was taken down by what amounts to a denial-of-service attack —Revision3 Podcast Network Hacked, Attacked By MediaDefenderLink: podcastingnews.com Jim Louderback, CEO of podcasting/new media network Revision3, has an explanation for why his site died over Memorial Day weekend: they were hacked and attacked by MediaDefender, a company that works for the music and film industries doing anti-piracy work. According to Ars Technica, MediaDefender uses “its array of 2,000 servers and a 9GBps dedicated connection to propagate fake files and launch denial of service attacks against distributors.” Revision3, the network behind DiggNation and othMediaDefender Behind the Attack on Revision3Link: readwriteweb.com MediaDefender is a company that acts on behalf of other media companies to muck up P2P and file sharing networks. They're the ones seeding BitTorrent with fake files - a tactic they hope will make filesharing appear to be too much of a hassle and therefore not worth the effort.

Apparently, lacking good examples, they’ve decided to make stuff up. He annotates, with corrections… “In October 2007, the Associated Press busted Comcast for blocking its users’ access to peer-to-peer file-sharing networks like BitTorrent and Gnutella. This fraudulent practice is a glaring violation of Net Neutrality.” Nope. Comcast slows BitTorrent seeding, but doesn’t interfere with BitTorrent downloads.
