Hollywood studios want a federal judge to preserve data on all the 66.6 million users of Megaupload, the file-sharing service that was shuttered in January due to federal indictments targeting its operators. The Motion Picture Association of America is requesting Carpathia, Megaupload’s Virginia-based server host, to retain the 25 petabytes of Megaupload data on its servers, which includes account information for Megaupload’s millions of users. That’s according to a newly surfaced court filing in the Megaupload prosecution in connection to charges of racketeering and criminal copyright infringement. The MPAA said it wanted to have that data because it might sue Megaupload and others for contributing to copyright infringement. Howard Gantman, a MPAA vice president, said in a telephone interview that the studios are not intending on suing individual users, but are considering suing Megaupload or other “entities involved.”

Je dois avoir un problème avec les pantalons… j’ai l’impression de les collectionner ! Très fan du 5.11 Tactical Pro Pant (j’en ai plusieurs, couleurs obligent), après l’avoir été (et l’être toujours) de Carhartt, quand 5.11 a lancé il y a quelques mois le modèle Stryke, je voulais tester. Je le voulais car il est différent dans la coupe, le tissu & les détails. Et c’était un come-back du bon vieux modèle « treillis ».

Association for Progressive Communications | Internet for social justice and sustainable development
Nous soussignés (les rédacteurs), avons joué de multiples rôles dans la création d'un réseau nommé Internet. Nous avons conçu et débugué la couche logicielle, nous avons défini l'ensemble des standards et protocoles qui communiquent à travers ce réseau. Beaucoup d'entre nous en ont inventé des pans entiers. Et nous sommes assez fiers des retombées sociales et économiques que notre projet, l'Internet, a engendrées. L'an dernier, beaucoup d'entre nous vous ont écrit à vous et à vos collègues pour vous mettre en garde contre les lois COICA (sur le droit d'auteur et la censure). Aujourd'hui, nous vous écrivons à nouveau afin de réaffirmer nos inquiétudes à propos des dérivées des lois SOPA et PIPA survenues avec le projet de loi de l'an dernier, sous la responsabilité de la Chambre des représentants et du Sénat.
