Subject: Movie Industry to Move Online to Beat Pirates
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 16:33:15 -0500


By Adam Pasick

The film industry is working to launch online movie download services
to avoid the same fate as the piracy-ridden music industry, NBC
Universal Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Wright said on Tuesday.

"It's something we have to do, but it has to be done well," Wright
said "These movies are so expensive we have to be careful ... We're
pretty close.  Hopefully by the end of this year we'll be able to do
that."

Wright was speaking at the launch of an anti-piracy and counterfeiting
initiative with senior executives from media, software, pharmaceutical
and food industries known as "Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting
and Piracy" (BASCAP).

Other participants included Microsoft's Chief Executive Steve Ballmer,
Nestle's Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, Vivendi Universal's Jean-Rene Fourtou
and EMI Group's Eric Nicoli.

"The problems are spreading and no one is immune," Wright said. "In my
business we're just looking over the shoulder of the music industry,
which has gone through a very difficult time."

The global music industry has been decimated by physical piracy and
online file-trading networks. It has stemmed some of the losses by
aggressively targeting illicit file-sharers with lawsuits while also
offering legal online alternatives like Apple's iTunes Music Store.

Movies are increasingly vulnerable to online piracy due to the spread
of high-speed Internet connections and file-sharing technologies like
BitTorrent. Eight people were charged last week for stealing a copy of
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" and posting it online
before the movie appeared in theatres.

There are already at least two fledgling online movie stores:
Movielink, which is a venture of five major Hollywood studios, and
CinemaNow, which is jointly owned by Lions Gate Entertainment,
Microsoft, Blockbuster and several private equity firms.

Wright also spoke about the battle over next-generation DVD
technology.  Universal Studios, a unit of NBC Universal, and Warner
Bros Studios have endorsed the HD DVD format, while Paramount, Sony
Pictures, Walt Disney Co.  and Twentieth Century Fox have backed the
rival Blu-ray format.

"You'd always rather have one standard -- that's going to happen
eventually," he said. "Hopefully this won't go as far as (the)
Betamax-VHS (video tape format battle)."

Subject: Business Leaders Seek Anti-Piracy Action
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 16:34:44 -0500


By JANE WARDELL, AP Business Writer

Business leaders representing industries ranging from pharmaceutical
to software agreed at a meeting here Tuesday to form a coalition to
lobby governments around the world to step up the fight against
international piracy and counterfeiting.

Executives including Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steven
Ballmer, EMI Group PLC Chairman Eric Nicoli and NBC Universal Chief
Executive Officer Bob Wright said many governments had not done enough
to legislate against -- or enforce existing legislation against -- the
theft of intellectual property. NBC Universal is , a unit of General
Electric Co.

"We need an adequate legal framework and enforcement capacity," said
Vivendi Universal Chairman Jean-Rene Fourtou after the meeting. "We
are very far from that even in the U.S., and Europe is quite worse."

Nicoli warned governments that the companies forming the coalition
under the banner "Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy"
were worth around $1,000 billion, with a work force of 1 million and
served more than a billion people.

"These aren't statistics, we respectfully suggest, that governments
can afford to ignore," he said.

Nicoli declined to name countries that were dragging their heels on
the fight against piracy, but said that the coalition would draw up a
series of indices and publish them within the year.

He said the executives had decided to tackle the problem in the same
way the pirates operate, by forming a coalition across industries and
companies.

Nicoli on Tuesday dismissed suggestions by Apple Computer Inc. that a
single price for songs sold over the Internet would help prevent
piracy in the music industry.

"I'm not persuaded by the argument that a single price deters piracy,"
Nicoli said at a news conference in London to promote a new coalition
of countries involved. 

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs last month called music companies
greedy for seeking higher prices for music downloaded from the
Internet, saying such moves would increase piracy.

While the music industry has so far borne the brunt of copyright
theft, with its easily reproducible and distributable products, the
executives pointed out that almost every other industry is vulnerable.

Ballmer told the conference that the software industry is losing up to
$32 billion annually to piracy. In the pharmaceuticals sector, up to
10 percent of products worldwide are counterfeit, rising to as much as
50 percent to 60 percent in the developing world.

"Nobody is immune," said Wright. "There are elements that are very bad
and the reputations of countries and citizens are at stake."

Nicoli said there would be no "overnight success" in tackling piracy
and counterfeiting but pointed to improvements in the music industry,
which has waged a campaign against digital piracy over the past few
years. The multi-pronged approach by the music industry has included a
public education campaign and a series of lawsuits against individual
file-sharers around the world.

"We are seeing progress and we are at least containing piracy," Nicoli
said of the music industry.

The executives agreed to combine their current efforts to fight piracy
and create the first global cross-sector stock-take of the size of the
problem.  They will also lobby other businesses to join the coalition.

Subject: Onlne Lawsuits Fuel Debate in France
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2005 16:37:14 -0500


By LAURENCE FROST, AP Business Writer

Attorney Jean-Marc Goldnadel knew he was going to make waves when he
launched classaction.fr -- a French Web site that lets users sign up to
lawsuits online for as little as 12 euros ($14.50).

Sure enough, the site has ruffled France's traditionalist
establishment and raised the temperature of a debate on government
plans to let plaintiffs file U.S.-style class actions in French
courts.

But Maitre Goldnadel underestimated the backlash, and even several
consumer groups are trying to shut him down. A verdict is due next
month on their court challenge, the second against the site, and the
Paris Bar Council is scouring its pages for ethics breaches.

Opponents of the government's plans have also seized on classaction.fr
as evidence that a class action law would encourage the kind of
"excesses" that the United States is now trying to curb: ambulance-
chasing lawyers, ruinous damages awards and spurious lawsuits used to
blackmail companies into settlements.

"This is grist for our mill," said Joelle Simon, head of legal affairs
at France's main employers' organization, Medef. "This is exactly what
we don't want -- we have no desire to see this kind of practice become
widespread."

President Jacques Chirac announced the introduction of class actions
earlier this year, but Simon, who represents Medef on a government
advisory panel, cautions that France would do well to avoid the
U.S. model.

"It's an incitement to blackmail," she said. "We know what the
American system costs their economy, and that is one import we can
really do without."

Just as class action lawsuits arrive in Europe -- Britain and Sweden
have recently opened their courts to limited forms of class actions
and Italy is considering them -- Washington has been taking steps to
rein them in.

U.S. President George W. Bush signed a law in February making it
harder to file "junk lawsuits" that stand little chance of winning in
court, but sometimes scare companies into settling anyway. Such suits
drove overall U.S. legal costs to $240 billion last year, Bush said.

But French consumer groups say class actions are the only way to
obtain justice when, for instance, a company overbills thousands of
customers by a few hundred euros (dollars) each -- hardly worth suing
for individually.

Whereas a single U.S. consumer can file a class action covering all
those who have suffered the same prejudice, French attorneys need a
signed mandate from each litigant. Rules barring them from advertising
or approaching prospective clients make it almost impossible to gather
plaintiffs.

Goldnadel and his associates work around the restrictions by getting
the clients to come to them. Close to 1,000 plaintiffs have signed up
online for two pending lawsuits.

The first accuses movie distributors of breaching consumer rights by
copy-protecting DVDs; the second seeks damages for misleading
financial information allegedly given to Vivendi Universal SA
shareholders.

But French consumer organization UFC-Que Choisir and four smaller
groups are accusing classaction.fr of unlawfully recruiting clients
and requiring plaintiffs to cede control of settlement decisions.

The site tells visitors who have bought DVDs that "you have suffered
the following prejudices, for which we are demanding damages in
court." It goes on to outline the case, inviting users to click on a
flashing red button to sign up and enter credit card details. Fees
start at 12 euros up front, plus 40 percent of any damages won.

Goldnadel is confident that he is operating within the law. "There is
nothing outrageous about telling people they've suffered a prejudice
in a certain way," he said in an interview.

"It is an attorney's job to do that -- it's not ambulance-chasing."

Despite its case against the site, UFC-Que Choisir is pushing for a
U.S.-style class action procedure in France that automatically covers
all potential victims unless they opt out.

French employers would rather see a more limited "opt-in" system
obliging attorneys to collect mandates from every plaintiff -- as
classaction.fr currently does. "If a company's involved in a court
case, it should know who it is up against," said Medef's Simon.

Others argue that the more powerful class action procedure would
actually help corporations contain litigation risk.

"It is in companies' interests to have an opt-out system," said
Paris-based attorney Ron Soffer, who is also qualified at the New York
bar.

An opt-out suit usually covers the "vast majority" of possible
plaintiffs, Soffer said. "Once it settles with the class, the company
has basically settled the entire case and will probably never hear of
it again."

But such a major step could require changes to existing French laws as
well as to the constitution. While the government is keeping quiet
before the working group makes its recommendations, expected this
month, comments by ministers suggest their approach will be gentler.

Finance Minister Thierry Breton has said the government is keen to
avoid the "abuse" of class actions seen in the United States. Their
introduction will go ahead "in a French context and in a more
controlled way," he told reporters recently.

"It is a wonderful business for the lawyers, but not always for the
consumer."

I have broadband 11 months of the year and dial-up the remaining
month.  When on s-l-o-w dial-up I have found using my ISP's webmail
to clean out spam before I do a POP3 download works quite fine as a
workaound to avoid downloading reams of spam.


[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I do the same thing here. Although I am
always on broadband, one of the 'mail stops' my computer makes each
time I check for mail is with cableone.net. Cable One takes those
items it _percieves_ to be spam (it can be trained by watching your
work the first few days you have it) and it batches them all in a
single file called 'spam and viruses' then sends me a single cover
letter asking me to 'call at the post office' (an http link is provided)
to examine, claim or destroy those items. Naturally I get between 75-100
viruses most days, and about the same number of spams at my cableone.net
account. Little check boxes allow for deliver, destroy, destroy all,
etc and often times just a glance tells me all I care to know about
some of the items, and they can get junked on the spot. Then I can
back out of the post office, return to my Outlook Express and deal
with the _real_ email. It makes it much easier using POP to go to the
server and trash a few hundred of the nasty things then and there
rather then sit and wait while POP delivers them all to me, especially
since some of them are so _huge_ and nasty. PAT]

The new Florida law does nothing more than say that if you are the
victim of an unprovoked attack, you do not have a duty to run away
from the attacker.

The key word is "unprovoked".  You're not allowed to bait someone at a
bar into a rage, and then pull a gun as your trump card.

This brings Florida law back into line with the laws of most other
states.  When the Brady bunch says "no other state has ever passed a
law like this one", what they really mean is that Florida is the first
state that had a New York City style "you're not allowed to defend
yourself" law and subsequently repealed it.

Then again, truth has never been a strong point for the anti-gunners.

It is important to note that "visitors" risk being shot in any state 
(and country) since firearms are easy to get just about anywhere (even 
where heavily regulated or illegal like Washington DC or London 
England).

Beyond that, the Florida law change isn't just about gun owners, it is 
about the use of "deadly force".  A senior citizen using their walker 
to fend off a mugger is using deadly force ... Florida isn't the first 
state to have a law like this; I know that the law in Pennsylvania 
declares that deadly force may be used in situations where a reasonable 
person would fear for their life, serious bodily injury, or the same 
for another (i.e., someone is threatening a spouse with a baseball 
bat).
