MPAA Silently Drops Case Against BitTorrent Site | TorrentFreak
In 2005, DVDr-core was the first BitTorrent site that was targeted by the MPAA outside the US. A classic story: Man runs site, man gets sued over site, nothing more is ever heard. Whilst in most cases, this means that the defendant bowed to pressure, paid an out of court settlement, and promised not to do it again, that is not the case here.

Fraud, Phishing and Financial Misdeeds: Internet Gangstas don't appreciate software piracy, either!
Despite the clear licensing agreement and the associated warnings, this package still ended up being traded freely in underground forums shortly after it was released. It just goes to show you just can’t trust anyone in the underground these days.
The IRATE gamer finally gets his come-uppance | ScrewAttack.com
After nearly a year of watching Chris Bores steal, plagiarize, and rip off James Rolfe, I finally had the camera, editing software, and computer necessary to portray the untalented dolt for who he truly is. This is a hilarious (according to my viewers, not me-I'm not THAT cocky) non-copyright-infringing parody of YouTube's IrateGamer.
Politics: Lawrence Lessig now to forever be known as "Uncle Larry"
Lessig is also quite well liked amongst many free-marketeers, and is a former libertarian himself, according to Ars Technica. As my lovingly rendered LOLshevik points out, Lessig isn't strictly against the concept of intellectual property, simply the gerrymandering of IP law by American media conglomerates. Still, he willingly accepts the honorific "comrade." Da? Here at Valleywag we'll be calling him "Uncle Larry."

Proposed new piracy penalties advance in House | Tech news blog - CNET News.com
As expected, the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee unanimously approved a copyright holder-backed enforcement proposal known as the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property, or Pro-IP, Act, which is chiefly sponsored by the committee's chairman, Rep.

From the “Abuse Your Customer” Business Manual - The Seminal :: Independent Media and Politics
This saga is why Big 5 Music Label executives are among the most hated businessmen in America. Last June, Universal Music Group sued to have a video clip of a 13-month old toddler dancing to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” removed from YouTube. Universal argued that the author – the child’s mother, Stephanie Lenz – violated the copyright of the song, which plays in the background of the video.
Record Labels Strategically Invest $2.8M in MOG
MOG has announced that it received a $2.8M strategic investment from Universal Music Group and The Angels’ Forum. We’ve also heard that Sony BMG was also part of the round, which means two major record labels have come together to invest in the same online music venture.
Madonna Concert Live on MSN
If you still like to see Madonna perform live in concert, then you’ll appreciate MSN’s streaming of the ageless singer’s upcoming Hard Candy concert. The concert will be shown live on MSN in its entirety, at no cost to viewers, here. Another step in the right direction for Madonna.
Techdirt: The Smear Campaign Against Larry Lessig And Free Culture
The most amazing thing to me, though, is that the PFF positions itself as a "libertarian" "free markets" think tank that thinks there should be less government regulation. But... anything having to do with intellectual property or spectrum, and suddenly all those libertarian statements go out the window.
