A new warning signal regarding the PC security appeared after Gregory Kopiloff from Seattle received 51 months of prison for committing identity theft through the LimeWire peer-to-peer networks.

Cisco Networks and Panorama Capital contributed to GridNetworks P2P start-up $9.5 million series A round of funding. GridNetworks  has taken a hybrid approach to delivering high-definition movies and TV shows over the Internet.

It uses both peer-to-peer technology, which leverages content distributed on users' computers all over the Internet as well as content delivery technology, which essentially caches and stores content in server farms throughout the Internet so it can be served up more quickly to geographically close clients.

Although it didn’t have many followers, the filtering over the Internet for discovering illegal file-swapping, is a way of stopping "digital piracy" by 70 percent, tells a study made by Wiggin UK media lawyers.

Limewire has released open source technology that can now block the sharing of all files without a copyright license (although the blocking technology is not currently turned on as default). The www.mp3rocket.com founders have agreed, that they will continue the fight for digital freedom and will not block their customer's files and will never filter files based on license detection.

The federal agencies will be obliged by a law, known as the Federal Agency Data Protection Act, to adopt a reliable strategy against the danger represented by the peer-to-peer file sharing, for the government computers and networks.

First used by Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, the anti-P2P method is now in the attention of the adult entertainment companies.

TrueShare service, provided by SYSTEN, LLC, a Web and software-solutions company, emerges in new garments, as an Internet file system; the fresh re-designed service offers now remote file access, file storage, and file sharing, with improved efficiency and simplicity.

RIAA and a woman from South Carolina are fighting after RIAA’s attempt of amending its original complaint. The woman is in a trial with the record labels for file-sharing.Until last fall, RIAA is dealing with almost 30,000 file-sharing lawsuits. One of the cases, regarding the lack of specificity of the standard language, is Atlantic Records v. Catherine Njuguna.

During the week-end, due to a link placed on the social networking site Reddit.com., the content of the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) website isn’t at hand of the public anymore.

The Reddit costumers used to share the link that utilized a hole in the SQL database backend. The damage appeared the moment thousands of pointless MD5 checksums and wasting scads of CPU time were generated, because of a slowing down which positioned the database into benchmark mode.

LimeWire’s ideas don’t find real support in those of Wayne Rosso, the founder of P2P startup Mashboxx. LimeWire’s intention was to combine web-based communities, music, video content and contextual ads, with P2P file-sharing but Rosso has a strong opinion about : no one is going to use his company patents.
