EMI will be offering, at a greater price, higher quality digital music downloads without digital rights management ("DRM") through Apple's ITunes Store in addition to its lower quality restricted catalog.
We'll have to gaze into our crystal balls to determine whether distributing unprotected MP3s will help expand the market and what effect this will have on music piracy.

DAXING, China - Sun Jiting spends his days locked behind metal bars in this military-run installation, put there by his parents. The 17-year-old high school student is not allowed to communicate with friends back home, and his only companions are psychologists, nurses and other patients. Each morning at 6:30, he is jolted awake by a soldier in fatigues shouting, "This is for your own good!"

It is technically possible for hackers to feign an IP address. A while back, Intel branded all Pentium 4 (and better) chips with a unique code in order to identify the computer at an IP address. AMD does not brand its processors with such a code.Is this a possible defense to a claim of copyright infringement (i.e. although it appears that the infringer's IP address was involved in the infringing activity, how do we know his/her computer was involved?).

Rock veterans Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno are launching a provocative new musicians' alliance that would cut against the industry grain by letting artists sell their music online instead of only through record labels. With the Internet transforming how people buy and listen to songs, musicians need to act now to claim digital music's future, Gabriel and Eno argued as they handed out a slim red manifesto at a huge dealmaking music conference known as Midem.

A group of technology experts issued a statement to the U.S. Congress on 1.13.04 expressing the opinion that P2P software provider Sharman Networks has the ability to prevent copyrighted material from being sent around the KaZaA network.
This is in direct conflict with the trial court's findings in the Grokster case I discussed at EASL's Dangerous Entertainment Seminar, and was in fact the main reason the trial court denied plaintiffs' motion for a premlinary injunction based on the complaint for contributory and vicarious copyright infringement. As further discussed, the Grokster Court welcomed a legislative solution in refusing to extend the copyright holders' monopoly.
