War on CopyRight violators

http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB986164716595422714.htm # # April 2, 2001 # # Microsoft Urges Global Attack # Against Piracy of Software # #[snip] # # To combat such piracy, Microsoft recently entered into a formal # partnership with the U.S. Customs Service to exchange information # on intellectual-property crimes around the world. The agency # has similar partnerships with other companies and trade # associations, including Underwriters Laboratories and the Motion # Picture Association of America. # # The partnership is a formalized cooperation process where # information is exchanged regularly, according to Customs spokesman # Dennis Murphy. "These partnership agreements have become an # effective way for us to get better information and do a better # enforcement job, as well as a way for the company to get a more # effective means to police their copyrights," Mr. Murphy said. # # Microsoft also has aggressively recruited its own security force # of former government agents led by Richard LaMagna, a 27-year # veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration who speaks # Cantonese, Mandarin, French and Thai. During the past six months, # Microsoft officials say, the company has taken legal action # against 47,000 dubious or illegal postings on the Internet # offering its products. # # The Customs Service, through its network of attaches around the # world, helps Microsoft and other companies work with foreign # police agencies. In conjunction with the Federal Bureau of # Investigation, the agency last year inaugurated a new Intellectual # Property Rights Center in Washington to serve as a command center # for operations against copyright violators. # # The stepped-up antipiracy efforts reflect new concern about an # old problem for software makers. "As we've seen organized criminal # enterprises focusing on counterfeiting and taking it to the # Internet, it is becoming an even more important problem for the # industry and the company," Microsoft Deputy General Counsel Brad # Smith said. # # Counterfeiters, many in Asia, have recently shifted distribution # networks onto the Web, which provides a host of benefits, # including anonymity. # # In addition to Latin America, Microsoft says recent seizures # have taken place in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, # the People's Republic of China, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, # the United Kingdom, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Canada # and the U.S.

Physicist Succumbs to Dangerfield Syndrome
by Matthew Gaylor 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

APRIL 01, 21:11 EST Physicist Succumbs to Dangerfield Syndrome By Mickey Spillane Affiliated Print Writer Cambridge, Mass (AP) - Dr. Phallus Halitosis-Baker today went on a verbal rampage injuring six and boring five others. Police were called to Dr. Halitosis-Baker's east side home after neighbors noticed him yelling at them that taxes were too low and complaining that they had too many NRA bumper stickers on their gas guzzling sport utility vehicles. Before being led away to the Orwell Clinic for the critically underestimated, Dr. Halitosis-Baker vowed to return to fight what he calls the oppression of American excellence in science and education. "It's not fair that I have to come to the United States so I can make good money." Dr. Halitosis-Baker commented from the police cruiser. An initial diagnosis points to a severe case of Dangerfield Syndrome, named after American comedian Rodney Dangerfield. The syndrome causes victims to resort to name calling and ad-hominem arguments when they're not accorded the respect they think they deserve. Dr. Phallus Halitosis-Baker's episode was apparently triggered when a neighbor called Dr. Phallus Halitosis-Baker, Dick and not Dr. Dick as he prefers. The prognosis looks bright however for Dr. Phallus Halitosis-Baker, especially after technicians cleaned his mouth out with soap and gave him a toothbrush.

How the Justice Department screws with a reporter
by Declan McCullagh 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

As you know, the Justice Department served me with a subpoena commanding me to be in Tacoma, Washington at 9:30 am on Monday, April 2, 2001: http://www.mccullagh.org/subpoena/ Because of the judge's schedule, Jim Bell's trial was pushed back one day, so now I need to be there Tuesday, April 3, 2001. Last Wednesday or Thursday, I booked a flight with the Justice Department's "Worldtravel" agency, which instructions attached to the subpoena require me to do. The flight left from Washington early Monday morning and arrived at the Sea-Tac airport at midday PT. I didn't want to risk a later flight because of possible weather delays, etc. When I called United a few minutes ago to make sure the flight was on time, I found out that Worldtravel had moved my flight to a Tuesday departure that would get into the city that afternoon, *after* the proceedings had begun. That could (understandably) piss off the judge -- I'd be violating a court order -- not to mention make me miss our motion Tuesday morning to quash the subpoena. Neither the Justice Department, the IRS, the U.S. Attorney's office, nor Worldtravel notified me about the change in my schedule. Worldtravel indicated they believe Jeff Gordon -- the IRS agent who is the chief investigator in this case -- is the guy who phoned them and moved my flight to Tuesday. That makes sense; he seems to be playing travel agent, based on his earlier mail to me: http://www.mccullagh.org/subpoena/gordon.030901.txt This really isn't a huge deal. If I showed up at the airport and couldn't get on (what I thought was) my flight, I likely would have been able to get on another one later in the day Monday. But at least one of the remaining flights is sold out, so it's not a sure thing. What this episode does show is that IRS agents and prosecutors like to screw with reporters, and a subpoena and travel arrangements are just another petty way of doing it. -Declan
