  • Online Software Copyright Infringement and Criminal Enforcement
    Online Software Copyright Infringement and Criminal Enforcement Submitted: May 14, 2005 Randy K. Baldwin American University Washington College of Law What are Warez and Who Trades Them? This paper will discuss infringement of software copyrights with a focus on criminal ‘warez trading‘ of copyrighted software on the Internet. Warez are infringing electronic, digital copies of copyrighted works whose copy protection measures have been removed.1 Warez are most often ‘cracked’ software programs whose digital rights management (DRM) and copy control measures have been circumvented. Once DRM controls have been disabled, warez are subsequently distributed and traded on the Internet, usually without any direct financial gain to the distributors and traders.2 Distribution of warez usually starts as small-scale deployments from password- protected file transfer protocol (FTP) servers and encrypted and/or password-protected web sites run by warez groups. Warez are then traded on the Internet among broader groups via direct peer-to-peer (P2P) connections, and encrypted emails with warez attachments. Trading and downloading of warez is coordinated via closed, invite-only Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels, Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encrypted email, Instant Messaging (IM), private chat rooms, direct connect P2P networks, and messages posted to Usenet groups under pseudonyms.3 Servers and sites hosting warez and communications means used by warez traders are designed to avoid detection and identification by law enforcement.4 File and directory names are intentionally 1 Goldman, Eric, A Road to No Warez: The No Electronic Theft Act and Criminal Copyright Infringement. 82 Or.

  • Copyleft, -Right and the Case Law on Apis on Both Sides of the Atlantic 5
    Less may be more: copyleft, -right and the case law on APIs on both sides of the Atlantic 5 Less may be more: copyleft, -right and the case law on APIs on both sides of the Atlantic Walter H. van Holst Senior IT-legal consultant at Mitopics, The Netherlands (with thanks to the whole of the FTF-legal mailinglist for contributing information and cases that were essential for this article) DOI: 10.5033/ifosslr.v5i1.72 Abstract Like any relatively young area of law, copyright on software is surrounded by some legal uncertainty. Even more so in the context of copyleft open source licenses, since these licenses in some respects aim for goals that are the opposite of 'regular' software copyright law. This article provides an analysis of the reciprocal effect of the GPL- family of copyleft software licenses (the GPL, LGPL and the AGPL) from a mostly copyright perspective as well as an analysis of the extent to which the SAS/WPL case affects this family of copyleft software licenses. In this article the extent to which the GPL and AGPL reciprocity clauses have a wider effect than those of the LGPL is questioned, while both the SAS/WPL jurisprudence and the Oracle vs Google case seem to affirm the LGPL's “dynamic linking” criterium. The net result is that the GPL may not be able to be more copyleft than the LGPL.

  • Exploring Open Source Options the Redmonk Going Open Source Series, Part 1
    April 19, 2007 Page 1/9 Exploring Open Source Options The RedMonk Going Open Source Series, Part 1 Overview Now more than ever, one of the top questions for a software company is: Michael Coté to what degree should we participate in open source? Open source is James Governor indisputably the most significant trend affecting the software world at the current time. More than any other single approach, strategy, or tactic, open Stephen O'Grady source has compelled vendors once thought to be unassailable in their respective markets - such as IBM, Microsoft and Oracle – to significantly alter their strategies. While substantial attention is paid to the source aspects of the code –the fact that it is visible, and in some cases alterable and distributable – the distribution advantages may be the most transformative, at least in the commercial world. From application servers to operating systems to programming languages to relational databases to web servers, very few categories of infrastructure software have been immune to open source competition. The packaged application market appears to be the next archipelago in the path of the tsunami, and vertical applications are undoubtedly close behind. None of this is to say that open source is necessarily the single path forward for software vendors; while that may or may not be true in the distant future, it is being actively refuted by the continuing ability of vendors such as Microsoft and Oracle to sell products that are less freely available and higher priced than their open source competition. In the case of many, if not most, of these established vendors, however, success rests more on the basis of significant market barriers to entry than on pure technical grounds.

INTRODUCTION You are the president of a major corporation that develops and distributes computer video game cartridges and the consoles on which the games can be played. Your company has maintained a majority of the market share by remaining at the forefront of the game cartridges field. Your company's ability to be the first to incorporate all the latest enhance- ments is due to the efforts of one man-your chief designer of game concepts. If he were to leave, your company's position as number one in the industry would be jeopardized. One day, your chief designer demands that if he is not made an executive vice-president and equity shareholder in the company he will resign and take with him a new concept he has been privately developing at home that will take video game technology to the next level.

ARTICLES LEGAL ASPECTS - SOFTWARE REVERSE ENGINEERING AND COPYRIGHT: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE BRIAN C. BEHRENS*& REUVEN R. LEVARY** With technological advances in the field of computers, the le- gal world is discovering that the laws that apply to this field must advance as well. Copyright laws that currently govern the devel- opment of computer software are still quite ambiguous, with diffi- culties in their application and debates over the scope of the law. In light of conflicting case law, it is troublesome for an attorney to give clients advice on whether certain software development tech- niques violate copyright laws or carry other legal consequences. What is certain is that the courts are deciding more and more computer software cases.' As a result, future law regarding copy- right infringement in this area is still subject to change.

  • Fifty Years of Open Source Movement: an Analysis Through the Prism of Copyright Law
    FIFTY YEARS OF OPEN SOURCE MOVEMENT: AN ANALYSIS THROUGH THE PRISM OF COPYRIGHT LAW V.K. Unni* I. INTRODUCTION The evolution of the software industry is a case study in itself. This evolution has multiple phases and one such important phase, termed open source, deals with the manner in which software technology is held, developed, and distributed.1 Over the years, open source software has played a leading role in promoting the Internet infrastructure and thus programs utilizing open source software, such as Linux, Apache, and BIND, are very often used as tools to run various Internet and business applications.2 The origins of open source software can be traced back to 1964–65 when Bell Labs joined hands with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and General Electric (GE) to work on the development of MULTICS for creating a dynamic, modular computer system capable of supporting hundreds of users.3 During the early stages of development, open source software had a very slow beginning primarily because of some preconceived notions surrounding it. Firstly, open source software was perceived as a product of academics and hobbyist programmers.4 Secondly, it was thought to be technically inferior to proprietary software.5 However, with the passage of time, the technical issues got relegated to the backside and issues pertaining to copyright, licensing, warranty, etc., began to be debated across the globe.6 * Professor—Public Policy and Management, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta; Thomas Edison Innovation Fellow (2016–17), Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property, George Mason University School of Law. 1.
