Well as we all know that piracy is a crime and distributing media like movies and songs is illegal. But most of us keep on doing it and break rules without even bothering to think that we may get caught. Now we must be aware of these things as there is a case in US where a guy has been fined $700,000 for File Sharing.

A US student has been ordered to pay $675,000 (£404,000) to four record labels for breaking copyright laws after sharing music online.

The Boston University student, Joel Tenenbaum, had admitted in court that he had downloaded and distributed 30 songs at issue in the case.

It is the second such case to go to trial in the US.

In the first case, a woman in Minneapolis was ordered to pay $1.92m for sharing 24 songs.

On Friday, the jury ordered Mr Tenebaum to pay $22,500 for each infringement. The maximum that he could have been fined was $4.5m.

Following the ruling, he said he was glad the fine had not been in the millions.

“That to me sends a message of ‘We considered your side with some legitimacy’,” he said, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Fined $700,000

But his lawyer said the verdict was not fair and that he planned to appeal.

‘Loved technology’

Mr Tenenbaum used a computer at his parents’ home and at his college to download and distribute digital files.

Prosecutors working on behalf of the record labels focused on 30 shared songs.

Under US law, the recording companies are entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement.

However, the jury can raise the amount to $150,000 per track if it finds the infringements were wilful – a matter that they will debate now that the judge has ruled Mr Tenenbaum violated copyright laws.

In the Minnesota case, the jury awarded $80,000 per song.

On the stand, Mr Tenenbaum admitted that he had downloaded more than 800 songs since 1999 and that he had lied in pre-trial proceedings when he suggested that other family members of friends may have been responsible for downloading songs to his computer.

“I used the computer. I uploaded, I downloaded music,” he told the court under questioning from his own lawyer, Charles Nesson.

He said he had used Napster and then Kazaa to download the files.

“It was like this giant library in front of you,” he said.

In opening remarks on Tuesday, Mr Tenenbaum’s lawyer said he “was a kid who did what kids do and loved technology and loved music”.

Recording companies had been slow to adapt to the internet, he added.

But prosecutors argued that file-sharers take a significant toll on the revenues for artists and others involved in music

‘Got off easy’

The recording industry has recently changed its tactics in file-sharing cases, preferring to settle quickly for much smaller amounts.

However, cases such as those against Mr Tenenbaum, which were already filed, are proceeding to trial.

The four recording labels involved in the case are subsidiaries of Universal Music, Warner Music and Sony.

Kevin Cullen of the Boston Globe said Mr Tenenbaum had “got off easy” compared to the Minnesota case.

“I went through the song list of what he was actually convicted of downloading and my favourite one was Beck’s Loser,” he told BBC News.

iPhone is the world’s largest selling mobile phone and everyone wants to have one but there is a problem with the Apple iPhone. iPhone is by default locked by the service provider, so iPhone needs to be unlocked to be used with any other service provider.

There are two terms “Unlocking” and “Jailbreaking” and many people don’t really know the difference between them. Unlocking an iPhone means you can run any carrier or use any SIM card with that iPhone and Jailbreaking an iPhone makes you add ringtones, change wallpapers or run some third party applications on the iPhone.

Jailbreaking

iPhone OS uses two partitions – first on is the media partition and second one is the operating system partition. Music, movies, contacts, App Store apps etc. are stored on the media partition. This partition is usually the size of your iPhone’s memory capacity, minus 500-600MB for the OS partition. Because of the way that Apple have set up the iPhone OS, we can not do any hacking in this easily accessible partition. To hack the device, we must get into the OS partition. The OS partition, the space on the iPhone that Apple has locked us out of, is where the jailbreak lies.

Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to run unofficial code on their devices. Once you jailbreaked your iPhone you are able to download many applications, mods and hacks which are unavailable through the App Store but available via unofficial installers such as Cydia and Icy. Some of popular Cydia, Icy advantages are as on >> Winterboard (To install Themes), SBSettings (Faster Method to Manage iPhone Settings), Tricker3G (For running WiFi only App on 3G or EDGE), Cycorder (Video Recorder for iPhone 2G, 3G) and lots more.

iPhone Unlocking and Jailbreaking

Unlocking

Unlocking your device means to open up the iPhone’s modem to accept SIM cards from unofficial carriers. For example In the US, iPhone will not connect to any carrier other than AT&T, unless it is unlocked. Should you want to use your iPhone with another GSM carrier, you need to unlock. Just as iPhone OS controls the applications that you interact with whenever you use your phone, the baseband processor controls the modem.

The baseband processor has its own, separate firmware from the main OS, called the baseband firmware. During most iPhone software updates, Apple update the baseband firmware on the device. The unlock lies in the baseband firmware, by patching out certain bytes, you can bypass the SIM check. For some devices, updated basebands can mean the inability to software unlock your phone.
