RIAA Targets Foreign Music Download Portals

The RIAA has obtained subpoenas from the U.S. District Court of Columbia ordering WHOIS privacy services to hand over the IP and email addresses and all other identifying information related to the operators of three file-sharing sites. The websites in question are targeted at Dutch and Spanish language audiences, suggesting that the RIAA is assisting foreign anti-piracy groups in local investigations.

The RIAA’s budget may have been slashed in half in two years, but they have certainly not halted their anti-piracy efforts.

This month alone the RIAA asked Google to remove 836,409 webpages from its search index. And that’s not all.

The music industry group is also targeting the owners of several music download sites through their WHOIS privacy services. Site owners use these private domain registration services to hide their personal information from the public, but this anonymity only goes so far.

The RIAA asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to subpoena the privacy protection services of three music download sites and these requests were recently granted.

The targeted sites are Mimp3.net, Descargaralbum.com and Jou-site.me. The first two allow users to download music files from external sites and are particularly popular in Latin America. Jou-site.me is a small private BitTorrent tracker for Dutch users, which also links to movies and games.

In their letter to the WHOIS protection services (WhoisGuard, Protected Domain Services and GKG.net) the RIAA claims that the sites in question are infringing on the copyrights of many artists.

“We believe your service is hosting the above-referenced website on its network. This website offers direct links to files containing sound recordings for other users to download by such artists as P!nk, Micheal Jackson, Carly Rae Jensen and Linkin Park,” the RIAA writes (2, 3).

“As stated in the attached subpoena, you are required to disclose to the RIAA information sufficient to identify the infringer. This would include the individual’s IP-address and e-mail address,” the RIAA adds.

The RIAA goes even further than the subpoena states by asking the services to “disable access” to the infringing files, if that’s even possible.

“We are asking for your immediate assistance in stopping this [linking to music] unauthorized activity. Specifically, we request that you remove the infringing files from the system, or that you disable access to the infringing files, and that you inform the site operator of the illegality or his or her conduct.”

Since the three sites are catering to a foreign audience we assume that the RIAA is gathering the information to assist other anti-piracy groups, such as BREIN in the Netherlands.

This is not the first time the RIAA has asked WhoisGuard and others to expose the owners of file-sharing sites. BitSnoop and TorrentHound were also targeted in the past, but as far as we know the site owners haven’t been contacted by the music group.

  In other words, we want and judge granted the information for us to obtain your info, so question is, what purpose is privacy service is they have to give your info up? Might as well say “non privacy service” if they give in….

      The RIAA and MPAA and their members financially support Obama’s reelection. Megaupload was taking down on orders of VP Joe Biden as a gift to the MAFIAA. The MAFIAA owns the current administration.
      
      Whatever you think of Romney, on this particular issue Romney is unlikely to serve the MAFIAA’s interests as they financed his opponent’s campaign.

    America started to serve as the world’s police force in the early 1900′s when president Teddy Roosevelt issued his corrallary to the Monroe Doctrine, stating that America would step in to curb any European inperialism in Latin America. At the time, we were just beginning to emerge as a competitive nation on the world stage. America needed a way to stand up to the big European powers, and this was Roosevelt’s best idea, i suppose.
    
    After WW2, America truly stepped into the role of “world police man.” The Brits had previously controlled traffic in the Suez canal, and we took over for them while they recovered from the war. This got us involved in the Middle East. Our peace treaty with Japan disallowed them to raise a military, and so we promised to use our military to defend them against thier enemies, pulling us into the Asian sphere. Our desire to contain communism got us further involved all over the world, trying to suppress communist uprisings and provide aid to nations so that they would not fall to communism while thier post-war economies recovered.
    
    While these actions, and military actions since, have not been in physical defense of the U.S., they have defended the nation’s interests. Militaries have historically been used to accomplish political goals when diplomacy and other means fail. Defending a nation’s interests other than security is equally important to protecting the way of life of its citizens
    - Colin Carr
      
      Just as the wind down of military spending after WW2 was really hurting the ‘defence’ industries; the USA discovered the dark side of Joe Stalin & the USSR. Suddenly bombers and warships were needed again.
      That was the point at which I believe, perhaps wrongly, that the Military Industrial Complex was born. By the 1960s, they had the political clout to invent a fictitious missile gap which caused the US taxpayer to buy loads of ICBMs they didn’t need – but which the arms makers needed to sell.
      The USA should remember that the beginning of the end of the British empire was when we borrowed huge sums of money to cover arms purchases during WW1. How deep in debt is the USA now, and how much of that debt relates to the Iraq and Afghan wars?

      As God has never been proven to be real, & can never be so, I don’t see what your getting all excited about.
      
      There is no more evidence that the theory of creation is more correct than the theory of evolution, or the theory of alien seeding, or thousands of other possibilities.
      
      Christianity is just a belief. 76% is quite high, but what do you expect when preachers say “believe in my version of God, else burn in hell forever & ever” (fear/extortion/terrorism). No-one should every be told to “obey or burn!” and think that religion is being taken seriously!
      
      Before that, Egyptians believed Ra the Sun God drove his chariot across the sky, & you were a fool if you did not believe. I imagine it was nearly the whole country believing back them (far more than 76%), as it was taught as fact.
      
      Today, we laugh at such & pat ourselves on the back because we have found the NEW only possible god there can ever be. 400 years in the future, we will have brand new gods & they will be the right ones, this time.

  Wow, Anon, are you desperate or what? Has Daddy Pelouze not been around such that you need to spam the same fucking messages in every other post?
  
  You claim that pirates are breaking less law; ergo, there is no need for the RIAA and further clampdowns. Why you think this is rationale for MOAR LAW is anyone’s guess. But I suppose when you’re working as a cocksucker for the industry, thinking is not your strong suit.
  
  Eventually people will trade blank media, for which we’re already paying a levy that assumes we’re using it to download pirated material. We paid for it, and we’re going to use it. Good luck outlawing that. Why don’t you go back to crying over SOPA and HADOPI?

  Do you forget some of the biggest industries in Europe? Let me give you a hint: they have to do with biotech, pharmaceutical and general technology research. All of those industries care a great deal of the intellectual property that they invest billions of Euros into. To simply say that IP enforcement is a US concern is idiotic.
  - EU Citizen
    
    I hope that u smoked something, because what you said does’t have to do with RIAA using their “power” to go after people in other countries (in this case some from Europe). They don’t (at least from what we / I know) do bio-tech and drugs.
    
    “Intellectual property” doesn’t give them the right to use money to buy corrupt persons from the governments of those countries. Call it how you want, bribe, lobbying, but those persons get money to act in favor of RIAA or other companies. Also, PORTUGAL is a in UE and 2 days ago judges siad (and ECJ) that the download and sharing on internet, for private use is LEGAL.
    
    Also, the real world you see, is way more fucked up than mine.
    
    PS: If you’re from USA, please note that the EUROPE is a continent and not a country.

    - http://twitter.com/krozareq krozareq
      
      Has everything to do with it. Europe has a long history of support for intellectual property. In fact, European countries, such as a the UK have been trying hard to enforce it long before the US ever has. The RIAA and MPAA didn’t just suddenly fool your politicians. In fact, the bodies such as the RIAA are built on European legal traditions.
      
      Yes, I know Europe is a continent which consists of Russia and some other countries. Don’t know where you got the idea that I think that EU-based treaties = country. Stop watching the news and TV so much, not all Americans are idiot trailer dwellers.

      That last part was a pure / lucky guess. An sorry man, but I don’t have a TV :) .
      
      On the first part of your reply it seems that we have the same general idea, but you may want to put yourself in our places for a moment. Think about this,
      
      let’s say that some organization from Europe ask for information on US persons based on the fact that they shared 10 songs. You’ll be mad too.
      
      You forgot already that your govt. was ? lobbied ? by MPAA at the beginning of this year and 6 months later you have 6-strikes shemes and ISP surveillance on all the customers China, N. Korea style.

      RIAA / MPAA lobbied your super-uber righteous govt. at the beginning of this year and 6 months later you have 6-strike schema in place. In the meantime, we protested on the streets and got rid of ACTA (at least until the next one), and I remember that people in the US protested too, but your govt. didn’t listen. So to say that EU people in the UE PE don’t care about they’re people is bold (and stupid).

“We are asking for your immediate assistance in stopping this [linking to music] unauthorized activity.

You got love how incompetent they are when dealing with technology.

Specifically, we request that you remove the infringing files from the system

WhoIsGuard and GKG naturally do not host any infringing files.

or that you disable access to the infringing files

The stated infringing files are only related to the website hosting and WhoIsGuard have no control over the website hosting or even to the domain that points to it.

GKG do control the domain but I am quite sure that the Judge only approved an information request and not domain closure. Again the infringing files are related to the hosting and not to the domain so even if the domain was blocked they could just use another domain,

and that you inform the site operator of the illegality or his or her conduct

I can see two problems here, The first is that WhoIsGuard and GKG have no more contact details on these website owners than what the RIAA have just themselves subpoenaed. Neither is it their place to offer advice concerning the nature of the law when they are not qualified to do so.

Nice try RIAA but you can do your own work instead of wanting others to do it for you.

As usual, you guys are so busy arguing politics, screaming for anarchy and insulting each other that you’re missing the overall tone of this paragraph and, therefore, the actual present state of the RIAA: IMPOTENCE! Why subpoena IP addresses and emails from three third-rate file sites? The Demonoid database, a GOLDMINE of IP addresses and emails, has been in the hands of authorities for two months and, to this point, nothing has come of it. Why bother to subpoena IP addresses at all? I thought “Six Strikes” was going to give the RIAA a never-ending list of potential “offenders.” And legal protocol aside, “asking for cooperation” from three sites that can be crushed like bugs is hardly threatening… I think the once mighty erection of the RIAA is becoming little more than a LIMP DICK!

  Maybe they are going to pass all the data and IP addresses to some copyright trolls to extort loads of money from the IP holders in exchange for avoiding legal action against them.

Boy! Talk about shock and awe! The RIAA persuades an American court to force a intermediate hosting service to reveal proprietary third party information on the presumption that the allegations affirmed are adequate against the privacy rights of those third parties.

Isn’t it amazing, how brutally powerful a useless monopoly based on the legally protected simultaneous exploitation of Artists and Customers can be?

Of course, they’ld be much more powerful today if they’d managed to pass PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, CISPA, and TPP as intended. Every now an then, when I truly need to
horrify myself, I do a little light reading in these laws.

It never fails!!

As I soak up the memory of what was in those laws, I’m reminded of that scene in The Predator where the predator stops throwing Arnold Schvartzenegger’s face against tree trunks just long enough to take off his helmet and show Arnold his real face; and, Arnold sums up my true belief by saying, “Man! You are ugly!!”

Those laws, had they been passed as promoted, would have revealed to us the real meaning of truely Ugly shock and awe.

Five suggestions:

Suggestion #1: Today is a Cakewalk compared to what lies ahead.

Suggestion #2: Everything we’ve achieved has only bought us precious little time.

Suggestion #3: We will never make progress on monopoly power and perpetual copyright unless we first make progress against the legal standing of Corporations to “live” and act among us with all the legal “rights and privleges” as people.

Suggestion #4: We are NOT destined to succeed against these Corporations. That success is survival; which can only be earned.

Suggestion #5: If we live long enough to be shown that face behind that helmet, we will have learned to our horror that Corporations are NOT people; but, in fact, are a particularly Ugly form of Property.

  Unfortunately the US government is only the tool that Big Business uses to force its will on the people of the world. Governments around the world, for the most part, are nothing but proxies for the corporate elite. Tell your politician to stop this will never happen because he/she is most likely firmly in the back pocket of corporate interests and has been well paid for. We have already seen courts use the double standard of justice, one for Big Business and one for the rest.

    Not if they pass the treaty anyway, then that would force them to move away from the USA, maybe China could push for its adoption.

“anti-piracy efforts”. I wonder if any judge EVER has ruled in their favor? I read they settle out of court or drop their case. This is no better than patent trolling, only it’s fear-mongering and bullying everyday people. The RIAA should be ashamed of itself. The new lows that emerge within a society whenever a new technology is released onto the market have all been crowned by the RIAA’s altruistic crusade against dirty thieves, indeed. They’re the money-grubbing, profting walking conflict-of-interest accusing people of CRIMINAL ACTS even publicly or threatening to do so publicly to coerce people into giving them money! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Settling out of court just shows how the RIAA’s aims are really only to profit.
