Apple Computer Inc. said Wednesday that a small number of video iPods shipped in the past month carry a computer virus. Less than 1 per cent of Apple’s video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006 left Apple’s contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus, according to the company’s support site.
The virus is known to spread through external data storage devices when they are connected to computers and affects only machines running Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system. Security experts say the virus opens up further security holes for hackers. The iPods got the virus from a Windows computer at one of its manufacturing plants, Apple said.
The music industry has launched a fresh wave of 8,000 lawsuits against alleged file-sharers around the world, escalating its drive to stamp out online piracy and encourage the use of legal download services.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), which represents the world’s music companies, said on Tuesday the new cases were brought in 17 countries, including the first ones ever in Brazil, Mexico and Poland.
The trade group said more than 1 billion music tracks were illegally downloaded last year in Brazil, the largest market in Latin America. Record company revenue has nearly halved in Brazil since 2000, IFPI said.
