Open Source Software Shows Its Muscle (Law.com)

Open source software had its origins in the free software movement. By now, most open source users understand that free refers to freedom, not to price. The new lesson is that the freedom belongs to the software, not to users. You are not free to do whatever you want with the open source software and may find yourself in a legal fight if what you do restricts the freedom of the software. Many of the things that for-profit companies strive for end up limiting some software's freedom. Any activity that leverages software for business advantage is likely to restrict the software's freedom, and the growing use of open source software by for-profit companies has been a growing irritant for free software advocates.

Craigslist's Response To eBay: We Had To Do It!

After eBay sued Craigslist, Craigslist's initial responses were rather weak. eBay made a pretty strong case arguing that Craigslist's board had unilaterally diluted eBay's shares -- which seems pretty questionable. Craigslist initially shot back by accusing eBay of doing the same things eBay was accusing Craigslist of doing -- but that was somewhat misleading. eBay wasn't complaining about the specific actions Craigslist was taking -- but the fact that they had done so unilaterally, despite eBay's ownership stake and board position. Then, Craigslist countersued eBay with a laundry list of charges that effectively amounted to "we don't like them being on our board." Both of these responses were a bit disappointing. While I like Craigslist, and respect Craig and Jim, they still hadn't explained why it was legal for them to unilaterally dilu

Software piracy in Asia-Pacific worsens as China buys more PCs

Software piracy is worsening in the Asia-Pacific region, mainly due to rapid growth in computer purchases in economically booming China, with the trend showing no sign of abating, a global software piracy watchdog warned Wednesday. Despite a decline in piracy in most Asia-Pacific economies, including Japan, the software piracy rate in the region rose to 59% last year from 55% in 2006, meaning that more than half the packaged software products that run on personal computers are pirated, the Business Software Alliance said in its latest software piracy study.

EBay Abandons Plans For PayPal Monopoly

An anonymous reader writes "eBay's has lost its fight to ban all payment methods except PayPal. When Paypal originally announced the scheme it was to be global, but they began with a dry run in Australia to test the reaction of government and consumer authorities. In the public slanging match that followed between eBay and the regulatory ACCC, eBay spammed users claiming it was fighting for 'safety benefits for consumers.' Fortunately the consumers won. Conceded eBay vice president Simon Smith, 'While we disagree with the ACCC's draft notice, we have decided to withdraw the notification to stop any further confusion and disruption among the eBay community.' Nevertheless eBay insists PayPal is now always offered as a payment option. Have big corporations finally learned that they can go too far? More chillingly, if eBay had launched the sc

ACCC still has its eye on eBay

The Australian operation of web auction services provider eBay has stepped back from a proposal involving its subsidiary, PayPal. Following public outrage, protests by users and an investigation by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), eBay has dropped plans to make PayPal the only approved electronic funds transfer method on its site. However, a second change, to make it mandatory for PayPal to be included as a payment option for all auctions on eBay, is still being looked at by the watchdog and may also be blocked as anti-competitive. Meanwhile eBay is to retain the services of law firm Deacons, despite the later failing to gain its client an exemption for the PayPal issue from the Trade Practices Act's section 47 before the ACCC

eBay v. Craigslist: a tale of secret meetings, "obsessions"

Execs at Craigslist felt threatened by eBay and made calculated moves to reduce eBay's equity and decision-making powers in the company, according to eBay's newly-unsealed lawsuit (PDF). eBay says that Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark "breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith by implementing certain self-dealing transactions... which were designed specifically to benefit themselves to the detriment of eBay." eBay is asking that the courts rescind or declare void the decisions made by Buckmaster and Newmark, and seeks recissory damages, attorney's fees, and other costs involved in filing the suit.
