The Piracy Dilemma

by Thomas Mennecke

Smaller businesses face tough questions when it comes to the bottom line. Software costs money, and a lot of it. Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office and Vista are rather expensive pieces of software. And it's not like a business can just buy one copy and install it on every computer. Typically, the license agreement only covers one copy for one machine. For a business that has multiple computers, a shoestring budget, and a family to feed, decisions have to be made.

It appears that decision is to cut the software budget. The Federation Against Software Theft, a UK firm which dedicates itself to promote legitimate use of software, published a study which found that 79% of business directors would be more likely to find ways around legitimate licensing in times of economic distress.

The logic seems sound enough. If a business is struggling to make ends meet, yet needs to install Office on several machines, the owner may be tempted to bypass the necessary licensing.

MPAA Defeats TorrentSpy

A Los Angeles Federal court has rendered a $110 million judgment against Valence Media, the company which operates the now defunct TorrentSpy. This judgment represents the culmination of a lengthy decline for TorrentSpy, which was slowly strangled to death by the movie industry.

“This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites,” said Dan Glickman, Chairman and CEO of the MPAA. “The demise of TorrentSpy is a clear victory for the studios and demonstrates that such pirate sites will not be allowed to continue to operate without facing relentless litigation by copyright holders.”

Unlike many other BitTorrent websites such as The Pirate Bay or isoHunt, TorrentSpy was never quite able to shake off the MPAA's legal pursuit. Much like BitTorrent, Inc., TorrentSpy attempted many avenues of legitimacy. This included creating a program which allowed copyright holders to remove indexed torrents, and a policy of blocking US search requests. None of this seemed to matter, where in the US, the political climate is notoriously hostile to P2P development - the exception being BitTorrent, Inc.

According to the judgment posted on PACER, an injunction was also ordered against TorrentSpy. Interestingly, Valence Media can retain possession of the site, however is barred from indexing copyrighted works in the future.

RIAA Wants ISPs to Act on Piracy

The RIAA's Mitch Bainwol is back on Capitol Hill, and this time, he's not touting how online piracy has been contained. Actually, quite the contrary. If there was a music industry equivalent of an SOS, today's testimony would be it. Authorized downloads are way down, revenue has plummeted, and file-sharing networks seem impervious to just about anything thrown at it.

In general, file-sharers typically render a high degree of skepticism whenever the music industry describes the piracy situation in statistical detail. However, Mr. Bainwol's description today is within the realm of acceptability. Consider the following numbers testified today by Mr. Bainwol:

• During the past two years, music acquisition has jumped 15%. During the
same two year period, the share of legal acquisition of music has plummeted from 56% to 42% - now less than half of the music is acquired legally.

• In 1999, the recorded music industry had $14.6 billion in revenues – all from physical sales. By 2007, revenues had dropped to $10.4 billion, of which only $8 billion was from physical sales and $2.4 billion of this was from digital sales.

• In 2000, the ten top-selling albums in the United States sold a total of 60 million units. Last year, they totaled just 25 million, less than half of the 2000 sales.

TorrentSpy Closes

TorrentSpy, one of the largest BitTorrent search engines, has ceased operations. According to Justin Bunnell, administrator and owner of TorrentSpy, the decision was made out of a desire to protect the privacy of its users - not because of any legal influence.

"We have decided on our own, not due to any court order or agreement, to bring the Torrentspy.com search engine to an end and thus we permanently closed down worldwide on March 24, 2008," a post on TorrentSpy.com reads.

"The legal climate in the USA for copyright, privacy of search requests, and links to torrent files in search results is simply too hostile. We spent the last two years, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, defending the rights of our users and ourselves."

TorrentSpy has been engaged in a protracted legal dispute with the MPAA since 2004. During this time, TorrentSpy has ventured down various avenues in an attempt to convey legitimacy. In early 2006, TorrentSpy considered opening an online distribution store. The proposed store would initially focus on files such as program updates, patches, and other smaller files. Eventually, Justin had hoped to integrate a music and movie distribution store with TorrentSpy.
