One key component is that only a limited number of employees should have access to the products in development. This should not aim to limit collaborative design work; instead it should ensure that only the people needed on the project are involved in the development chain. Too often leaks occur because someone outside the necessary development chain spreads the products to unauthorized users. This occurred during the development of Doom 3 when a non ID Software employee at a graphics card company pirated a pre-release version of the game. The game which had been worked under a fairly large veil of secrecy now became available for both consumers and competitors to try out. The key lesson is to ensure that your internal team is kept to a minimum needed for development and innovation, but also remains manageable. A manageable team helps make content easier to keep track of and protect from being stolen or leaked. Accidental leaks have led to the pirating of many products. A recent example was the downloadable content for the game Dragon Age Origins entitled “Return to Ostagar” was accidentally left on a file server accessible to the public. This led to the product being pirated while the retail version was still being tested (because of a last second software bug that was discovered) and the loss of a large amount of potential revenue. Harsh lessons such as the two examples above demonstrate the need for smaller more manageable teams in content production, balanced with the design and innovation needs

Is sampling and scratching theft or merely traditional cultural appropriation? That’s the central question of the new documentary Copyright Criminals, premiering Tuesday at the Toronto Film Festival as well as on PBS’ Independent Lens series.

When Public Enemy’s legendary 1988 release It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and De La Soul’s epochal 1989 effort 3 Feet High and Rising exploded the possibilities of sample-based sound collage, no one had a clue that hip-hop would become a multibillion-dollar global industry and spark lasting, devastating copyfights.

Were those copyfights legitimate, or simply ruthless attempts to cash in on a zeitgeist that knows no limit? Benjamin Franzen’s Copyright Criminals explores the subject through in-depth interviews with hip-hop’s finest talents, from De La Soul and Public Enemy to DJ Spooky, Jeff Chang, El-P, Mix Master Mike and many more.

The documentary makers even tracked down Clyde Stubblefield — James Brown’s original funky drummer, whose beats have been extensively borrowed to form the backbone of many hip-hop songs. Stubblefield says he has yet to see a dime from all the sampling, as he explains in the Copyright Criminals trailer.

Apparently the device isn’t horrible, but then again it’s not really striving to be much. Devices like these cause numerous problems for Nintendo in their attempt to penetrate the PRC’s growing middle class with legitimate Nintendo products.

The Zone- This Wii knockoff is apparently pretty easy to get, as people have reported seeing them in CVS. However, hearing someone answer where they got a video game system with “CVS” is never a good sign.

The Zone sports many of the common features of the Wii knockoff such as a heavy emphasis on sports games, the appearance of motion control, and most importantly a slavish copy of the design of the Wii itself.

One thing that is interesting to note about these and many other Wii Knockoffs is the complete lack of ability to play games other than ones that come with the system. This is because all of the game are on The Zones circuit board and not separate discs.

Recently, the USPTO announced that it is rescinding the new patent rules. Furthermore, there is a motion to dismiss and a motion to vacate the decision on the rules that was litigated in Tafas v. Dudas, which will be filed jointly with GlaxoSmithKline (one of the plaintiffs).

Davis Kappos, the Director of the USPTO stated that the rules have been rescinding because “(t)he USPTO should incentivize innovation, develop rules that are responsive to its applicants’ needs and help bring their products and services to market . . . (i)n taking the actions we are announcing today, we hope to engage the applicant community more effectively on improvements that will help make the USPTO more efficient, responsive, and transparent to the public.”

One of the toughest challenges in designing online multiplayer games is making sure every player sees identical digital playing fields at all times. When a building explodes or a monster appears, it must happen at the same time on thousands of computers scattered around the world. In 2002, Paltalk purchased two patents from a company called HearMe, covering technologies for sharing data among many connected computers so that all users see the same digital environment. Paltalk claims that the data-sharing technologies used in games made by Turbine and the other companies violate those patents.

Paltalk has already defended these patents successfully against industry titan Microsoft Corp. In 2006, the company sued Microsoft, claiming that the multiplayer features of its popular Halo video games violated Paltalk’s patent rights. The case went to trial in Marshall, Texas, in March, but in mid-trial Microsoft settled the matter by paying an undisclosed sum to license the Paltalk patents.

(Full Article)

Here are links to the two patents that Paltalk is claiming were infringed:  one and two. Thanks to Tyen at the Fires of Heaven Guild Message Board for posting these links.

GamerPolitics also has the complaint uploaded on its site.

Roth exported technical information known as “Technical Data” that related to his illegal disclosure and transport of restricted military information associated with the Air Force that related to developing plasma technology for an air vehicle (a drone). The illegal exports involved specific information about the drones that had been designed and was being tested for use as weapons or surveillance.

The Arms Export Control Act prohibits exporting defense related material to a foreign country. The exports included in this prohibition are “deemed exports” which are described as the unauthorized release of technology to a foreign national either domestically or overseas. A foreign national is defined in 8 USC 1324(b)(a)(3).

In this case, the government stated that Roth did not have permission to take the research to China. Furthermore, Roth lied to the Defense Department in regards to his employment of Chinese foreign nationals. His two graduate research assistants were given unrestricted access to information regarding the drone developments.

The jury found that Roth violated the export rules when he assigned Chinese nationals to work on the research project without clearing that with the State Department. Violation of the Act requires willful conduct and intent. Roth was advised by an officer at the University of Tennessee not to disclose the information and thus the jury found that Roth knew what he was doing and did so anyway.

Roth argued that he thought his researched qualified for exclusion under the fundamental research exception.
