This legal report will primarily involve avoiding potential lawsuits, which can be accomplished by looking at what other people did wrong.
Here are some issues of concern:
Centralization
- the case against Napster
- cases against decentralized sites
The case with Microsoft Vista
Vicarious copyright liability (could clients potentially use Itunes to share illegal material and if so would Itunes be held liable for their actions?)
I’m also investigating legal cases involving Bit Torrent sites that have been shut down:
- Finreactor
- Suprnova.org
- LokiTorrent
- EliteTorrents
