How The DMCA Is Enforced
Hank Scorpio writes "Bob Cringley's latest column talks about a company, BayTSP, that performs most of the enforcement of the DMCA on the Internet. This is the company that collects data about who is sharing music or movies online, and this is the company to go after when you get busted! They claim to "go to the same places any user could go, look at the same files anyone else could look at, and we only probe the ports on your computer that you have made public." Interesting."
1.) Post company website link on Slashdot.
Step 1 complete.
Excellent
"and when the abductors are caught and you look on their home computers, you inevitably find kiddy porn. So it is a precursor to this bad behavior, and just as the Internet makes it easy to distribute child pornography, it effectively encourages these criminals. We are working to end that."
Hmmm, So we go after people for crimes they have yet to commit, is what he is arguing. Someone should make a movie about that.
Ishikawa, the FBI thinks terrorists are sharing information by hiding it in images posted on eBay using a process called steganography.
What a penis. I guess he doesn't keep up on research.
If you look at Mark Ishikawa's business card, you'll notice that it lists no street address for his company, BayTSP, just [...] a post office box in Los Gatos, CA, but could really be anywhere in the Bay Area.
Or it could be located here: BayTsp (BAYTSP-DOM) 3150 almaden Expressway #234 San Jose CA,95118 US
Just publicly available information, Right Ishikawa?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Well, We only probe(d) the ports on your computer that you have made public.. .i.e, port 80.
Okay, you can mod me down now.
Is this thing on?
That site's got a wide open vulnerability on one of its ports!
ahhhhh, goatse, truly a classic for the ages.
He doesn't sound all that nasty on the phone.
There aren't many countries left that care more about freedom thatn opression and the all-mighty buck so I suggest:
A) we pick a state, one that's comfy and not to small
B) Take it over
c) Start over with compotent people
and
D) Watch the rest of the world imprison itself in stupidity

Isn't a public port part and parcel with permission to access said port?
I postulate that this post probably prevents precise pronunciation due to the poster's propensity to push the "p" key.

Even better, what about a video file named , for example, starwarsdivx.avi which actually contains a 10-minute still of Christmas Island's most infamous export accompanied by a maximum-volume 1kHz tone...?

Isn't a public port part and parcel with permission to access said port?
No no no no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!
Just because a port is listening on a machine doesn't mean it's "public" anymore than me bending over in the shower in the locker room is an invitation for you to insert your junk into my anus.
If this information is correct, I shudder to think of what he means by "probe open ports"
Yeah...I live in Georgia and we tried this back in the 1800's. Turns out the feds weren't none to happy about it.
