Malicious actors may use infected Linux systems to launch DDoS attacks against the entertainment industry and other verticals
Whatever happened to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?
Yes, there's technical solutions like the upcoming Tor-like anonymized version of tribler that will try to route around the Copyright Crooks-induced Internet Censorship.
Maybe that's why you don't often see the "Corporate Police" as a means of Corporations to enforce their will through Free Trade Agreements (which *trump* the democratic national laws) and also *enforce* these laws on the public in UK Sci-Fi movies: they already have it.
Australia is obliged under its free trade agreements with the United States, Singapore and Korea (not yet ratified) to provide a legal incentive to ISPs to cooperate with rights holders to prevent infringement on their systems and networks.
And, ladies and gentlement, there you have it. Again. Completely bypassing the democratic process, FTA's trump national legislation. And anyone that thinks that Singapore and Korea are actually the ones pressing Australia to ramp up their pro-copyright industry efforts is naive. It's just a little smokescreen. So Who's Your Daddy?!! Good ole Uncle Sam (MPAA/RIAA/USTR) is. Bend over, and take it like a man Aussies!
Well, well... is Slashdot joining the PoliCor movement? A "patent assertion company"? Those companies must be the Pride and Joy of the American Enterprising spirit!
Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to pay authors to write English-language childrens' books as a "work for hire" then release them under a Creative Commons license? That way you can serve up these books globally instead of just in the USA.
Exactly. You see that more often that hints are being given about circumstances that would have lead to a different outcome. Even in copyright trolling cases. Just the phrase "(hint, hint!)" is missing. So for instance it wouldn't be "Denied because it is unclear if the subscriber is the perpetrator" it becomes instead "Denied because no secondary evidence was presented where -for instance being the only adult male in the household- it could be presumed that the subscriber is the only one likely to have been the perpetrator, which would be enough evidence to grant the subpoena". As I said, only the "(hint, hint)" is missing.
If the police orders you to "stop filming" even IF YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO SO, you are still not following their orders. This ALSO applies to flight attendants. It doesn't matter ONE LITTLE BIT if the order was proper, you ARE guilty of not following it.
The CURRENT "proper way" of doing this is to follow their orders and then file a complaint at the station about the infringement on your rights. And yes, you won't have your videotaped evidence. And yes, police will likely retaliate. And no, the officer won't be immediately fired with cause. You lose.
The City of London Corporation wants to expand its own "Campus Police" to a full-fledged "Corporate World Police" complete with politicians in their pockets to further advance the corporate agenda.
The enormous investments needed for regular broadcasters to convert to HD (and yes even now it's a mess with 720p/1080i/1080p) I don't see them going to 4K and 8K anytime soon. Streaming on the Internet is relatively speaking cheap.
These guys see its coming. Just like as the Copyright MAFIAA saw it coming in the 1990s (leading to WIPO & WTO-TRIPs). They see it coming and they want in on where the money is. Cable is going down, Internet streaming is going up.
Strangely enough, in some parts of Canada usage caps were the standard (because there was no other alternative than dial-up). With fibre being available from the Telcos as an alternative, there is now competition, and caps are gone, or can be bought off for unlimited for a reasonable amount like $10/mo, or are only applicable in certain configurations.
I bet with all this slashvertising these things are going to become collector's items; every hacker will want one to see if they *can* change the content.
The best Legal Alternative to piracy is of course legalizing p2p-filesharing. Which the EFA/Greens faction in the European Parliament supports. And with the EP elections being this month... there you go, be a good lad, and get off that fat arse and DO something for a change.
What do you think ye average Holy Being(s)-fearing, holding their bible/fill-in-your-religious-.txt high in the air, Earthling is going to think when it turns out the Holy Writer(s) of the aforementioned.txt not only "forgot to mention" a few things (which you can spindoctor away), but that the ETs have completely different views. I would be very surprised if any kind of contact happened, this would play out in the open. The "reasoning" given for the need for absolute secrecy around stories like Project Majestic, etc. remain valid. The closed-minded will either get more closed-minded (harmless) or will see their world shatter and all chaos will break out.
Reli Fundamentalists should also be fine with the sentence, provided that it is a matter of course that it should be interpreted as "more than 13, but less than or equal to 6,000 years"
I know for a fact that the Dutch tax agency experimented in the 1990s with simply put: the paper return but turned into a computer program, with some added sanity checks and obvious automation/summations, available on a 3.5" floppy disk that you mailed back; later on it allowed you to dial in directly via modem to return, later via the Internet. Free of charge, directly from the Tax Agency themselves. You could also buy commercial programs, that offered specific tax tips and more elaborate explanations.
Why is a free, electronic version of the paper return from the IRS/CRA so much to ask for? I don't trust my demographics to these so-called "free versions" of commercial tax return software.
The fun part is that both the UK and The Netherlands governments are doing the same; thus each patch is now paid 3 times over! The sad part is that none of the taxpayers will be able to get their hands on these patches.
I think AC meant, a brand new copyright term as in x number of years.
Even if in a few short years from now we see a global trend to radically curtail copyright terms, starting with the European Spring, I do agree that unpublished (*) works should be treated as new works when published by the estate (with a "safety net" provision of x years for unpublished works, anonymous or not, for works to fall into the public domain) (**).
(*) publishing should be seen in the broadest sense possible, to avoid "members only" clubs where works are "circulated only amongst members" for some bogus reason, leading to the claim that the work hasn't officially been published, so a copyright term never started.
(**) this might lead to the interesting conclusion that "selfies" become public domain 120 years after your death.

It's a basic human right to have access to the Internet... except in the "land of the Free" of course.

the Supreme Court does not understand software
Simple. Appoint RMS to the Supreme Court and let all other judges go. Bring on the software patent cases!

It's May the 4th, this element has the highest Protonian count ever observed, so I suggest Anakinium.
Not always. Heads are used for many things. The first 4 head units were done for better pause action not for better EP mode.
Was this right after "Basic Instinct" came out on VHS? ;-)
Right, unlike the MPAA or RIAA, the USPS is not.
How about Dutch servers (Leaseweb) rented by a company based in Hong Kong (Megaupload)?

According to TFA they have a kernel exploit and will attempt to install a CFW.
In the mean time, forget about torrenting Churyumov.-.Gerasimenko.(2014).CAM.x264-Rosetta.avi as it's VERY blurry and sound is missing.
