Hollywood and the recording industry's copyright lobby groups, the MPAA and RIAA, have submitted their annual list of piracy sites to the Office of the US Trade Representative, in order to help the USTR prepare their annual "Notorious Markets" list.

The lists from the two groups include the usual suspects, including The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents, as well as the popular Popcorn Time app. File hosting cyberlocker sites Rapidgator, Uploaded.net and Putlocker are also part of the list, as is Russian social networking site VK.

The MPAA also used the letter to the USTR to target "hosting providers, advertising networks, payment processors, and search engines" who the trade group says is supporting the piracy trade. The MPAA wants these "stakeholders" to be more active in stopping piracy on Hollywood's behalf.

The RIAA took an even stronger line against an unexpected target - digital rights advocates including the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The RIAA accuses the EFF and other digital rights groups of being "apologists" for notorious actors like The Pirate Bay.

"Many of those who profit from the status quo like to disguise their self-interest in rhetoric about free expression. It is long past time to end this dangerous charade. Defending the piracy of creative works in the name of freedom of expression is tantamount to foxes campaigning for open-range chickens," the RIAA's Neil Turkewitz writes.

The RIAA also expanded upon and clarified the MPAA's list of piracy "enablers" to include "domain registrars, privacy/proxy service providers, to advertisers and ad networks, search engines, content delivery networks and hosting services".

Panasonic will beat rival Samsung to the punch by releasing the world's first Ultra HD Blu-ray player next month in Japan.

Unveiled at the Ceatec electronics show near Tokyo, the Panasonic DMR-UBZ1 will go on sale on Nov. 15 in that country, beating Samsung's 2016 slated UBS-K8500 by several months.

The DMR-UBZ1 also features DVR functionality courtesy of the included 3TB hard-drive (a feature that is likely to be absent from the western variant of this machine), and includes the usual Ultra HD Blu-ray features like support for HDR (high-dynamic range).

Panasonic's first foray into the world of Ultra HD Blu-ray will set back early adopters 400,000 yen, or more than USD $3,300 at current exchange rates. Samsung's UBS-K8500, which does not feature DVR functionalities, will be priced at under USD $500.

Panasonic also unveiled new high speed 18Gbps HDMI cables, thicker cables that are able to handle the bandwidth required for 60 FPS Ultra HD content.
