I know this is a tad offtopic, but here's an idea for when you get a Cease-and-desist letter. Send back something like this:
"Because my time is very important, use of this E-Mail box carries a $500 bill per use. You are hereby required to pay me $500 or send me a retraction. And if you do neither, you will be hearing from my lawyer."
I've noticed that it also works exceptionally well with spammers as long as they are not forging their email address.
It seems to me that CPHack is just exposing another of the millions of holes in censorware already, and the lawsuit surrounding it is just bullshit. Currently, at the forefront of robotics and AI research, rodney brooks has build a robot that has not even matched the intellegence of a 2 year old. Even so, thousands of incredibly stupid people trust this crappy software to watch their kids, hour after hour, day after day.
I know it seems like all the leaders today, they're all the same. Sure, you could waste your vote on a nazi like bush, but why? If you have to have ethnic killing and book burning, why not just go the direct route?
That is why I am encouraging all of the slashdot community to vote BERT 2000!
Bad encryption + bad eula... Deja vu...
on
CueCat At It Again
·
· Score: 1
The MPAA puts some bad encryption (CSS) on DVD's, and has a bad, confusing EULA. So when somebody evil (a teenager, no less) cracks it and puts it on the internet, the MPAA's lawyers go berzerk and blame hackers (of course) who don't even own VCR's (of course).
Digitalconvergence (Stupid guys) puts bad encryption (The decoder algorithm is a simple modified base-64 XOR 67) on the:CueCat, and when a hacker cracks it, the lawyers for Digitalconvergence go berzerk and attack the wrong people (the guy who writes linux drivers for it).
Am I the only one who sees so many parallels here?!
Steven King writes scary stories. A scary concept is that special intrest groups such as the RIAA, and their associated lawyers (such as howard king) start "educating" people with far more technology smarts (like MIT) by trying to brainwash them with propaganda that suggests that every single napster user is a thief. I don't consider myself a thief. All of the music on my system I have or will be getting shortly (as in when the new limp bizkit CD comes out). I would hope that many of my fellow napster users do the same. We don't think the artist should be ripped off, regardless of what college we go to.
The same is happening with Napster. What the music industry really wants to to is stop all file sharing methods. They know that would be hopeless. The recent University decision to stand up to them has the music execs scared of their position being ruled officially invalid by a court which would then allow Napster (and the many napster like clones that would follow) asured eternal existance. By backing off from the Universities, they're free to continue to harass the little guy sharing MP3s, because unlike universities, the little guy can't afford to "win" a long drawn out lawsuit. He has neither the time nor the infinite money like the RIAA does, so he rolls over, and the RIAA gains more case law in their favor. Truly such behaviour is more than deserving of condemnation to the lowest depths of hell.
I most certainly agree that the RIAA deserves to live in the depths of hell. But I think that rather than just shut it down, the RIAA wants to own the technology.
They know they can't stop it, so they want to get a premium for it before they live in the dumps because the artists realize who is screwing over who (hint hint: It's not the napster fans)
It seems to me that lately we have had a large number of corporations pushing around something called "fair use" because they have more money. Some summaries:
Metallica, rather than endorse napster, and thus encourage the people who would buy more of their music (as compared with non-napsterees), they alienated 300,000 of their fans, even though lars claims that "it's not about the money" and "music shouldn't be free", basically meaning that he beleives the radio should be outlawed as well. It is not for me to decide how lars decides, but it is up to me to decide what I think of lars and I think he is not in a good state of mind. Lars wants to undermine fair use by making it illegal to have MP3's at all, even if he gets royalties, or if the owner of the MP3's has a metallica CD with the same songs on it.
SDMI is an acronym for the Secure Digital Music Initiative, and attemps to undermine fair use by making it illegal (or impossible) to have MP3 files on your computer, or to transfer them to another media (such as minidisk). SDMI has even spawned a hackSDMI website, where unsuspecting crypto experts are encouraged to do the dirty work of the RIAA.
CSS is a weak crypto that was easily cracked by a teenager. Even though it is the MPAA's fault for not getting a stronger crypto to put on DVD's, they blame it on anyone other than themselves. DeCSS, a program that decodes CSS, has spawned lawsuits over the legality of linking, and the MPAA has gone so far as to sue 2600, even though none of the people who work for 2600 even own a DVD player. Of course, with the right equipment you can capture or copy DVD movies without DeCSS, but of course that has been largely ignored.
What this means is that whoever has the money has THE RIGHT to make you do whatever the hell they want YOU to do. Who has the money? Corporations, metallica, Dre, MPAA, RIAA, and the like.
Who cares about their rights?
We do.
I would hope that you do the same, and do everything within your power to thwart the efforts of these people:
Mirror DeCSS
Put links to civil rights groups, slashdot and 2600 on your webpage
Put essays about why your civil rights must be protected on your website
Spread the word to all your friends, enemies and relatives
Write your governor, congressman, president, dictator, whatever, write the important people you know of and let them know how you feel about these issues
Write hillary rosen, lars ulrich, dr.Dre, as well as the other people pushing these lawsuits, and let them know how you feel about the issues
Get all of your friends, relatives and enemies to do the same.
Or else our rights will get taken away. Or else, as pastor neimoller put it so well, there will be noone left to defend you.
First of all, it says that the article is from By Cecily Barnes, CNET News.com, not Ziff-Davis, and it's on YAHOO!
As far as the article:...to download MP3 music files and even several full-length movies.
(snip)
...
The seized computer gear included 105 gigabytes of hard drive space, of which about 40GB were made available to visitors. Assuming the average music file occupies about 4MB, the student could have had approximately 10,000 songs available for download.
Hmm, he's got both FULL LENGTH MOVIES and music files on his system. That means it is quite impossible for all of the 40 gigs available to the public to be nothing but MP3 files. DUH!
As far as the student, he is a moron. If you plan on running an ILLEGAL MP3 SITE on THE UNIVERSITIES BANDWIDTH, you cannot honestly expect to continue running it for an extended period of time without somebody (like the sysadmin) noticing that you are being a bandwidth hog.
I find it interesting that the RIAA is going after him as opposed to the MPAA for distributing illegal movies as well.
I am also somewhat glad that the RIAA had his account pulled. Look at this quote: "He was advocating other people to download the music and upload music he didn't have," said James Alexander, an OSU assistant director. "He'd been advertising in chat rooms and we decided to notify the police."
SPAMMER! DIE!br>
Legal info: The points of view represented above are those of I and I alone. Not those of my friends, relatives or parents, who are deeply offended.
Didn't we go through this same BS a few months ago with the embedded ID numbers in intel PIII chips? I assume this feature will be able to be turned off or else the companies that incorporate this privacy invading feature will get hit with major lawsuits. Or better yet, they'll spend 4 years bitching about a standard like the RIAA and the SDMI standard. [Menacing laughter]
Legal BS:
The beliefs expressed herein this document are those of I and I alone. Not those of any of my friends, relatives or enemies, who are all probably very deeply offended
He who would give up his (or her) rights never deserved to have them.
In other words, I'm going to fight to keep carnivore the hell our of my ISP's servers. I hope all the trolls and spammers and pale losers can rise up as one to defeat this system.
And, of course, and overused and overly cliched quote:
If the goverment wants us to obey the laws perhaps they should set a better example.
sad, how napster is an internet startup that hasn't been around long enough to bribe the feds into doing what they ask. Instead we have a stupid corporate entity that bribes the feds when the money should go to the artists.
The beleifs expressed above are those of me and only me. Not those of my parents, friends or anyone else, who are probably deeply offended.
Linux.com is owned by linux VA, which has a SHITLOAD of money. Whoever wrote up the site in question has very little of it, or else I find it hard to beleive that he couldn't spend fifty bucks for a descent graphics program (or, if he's into linux, he couldn't spend the $0.00 dollars for the gimp? whata cheapass.) He also is too cheap or too lazy to develop or even to buy his own content. I therefore say that he should be punished by a flogging for stealing design and a major lawsuit for violating copyright, stealing and piracy (piracy because he "borrowed" the icons from another site and by not giving credit where it is due is claiming it as his own. It would be like me "borrowing" all the slashdot icons for stories on my website [Even though news stories on my website don't use icons]).
NO CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE? HOW ABOUT A BEATING WHERE IT IS DUE!?
If it is illegal, I wouldn't be suprised. Still, it makes me feel better knowing that my website (http://www.nerdnetwork.net) is hosted by an italian company that doesn't give a rats ass about american laws.

All of these people who are trying to keep DeCSS available by making it available for download and by linking to it should give up because the program itself is worthless now.
We can never give up the fight. This is no longer about technology or encrytpion, which you don't seem to understand. Judge kaplan doesn't seem to either. It will never matter later if we give up now. We can give up and let a bunch of greedy corporate entities bribe the goverment into treating us like shit. I, for one, don't intend to let that happen, and that's why I'm mirroring DeCSS.
Assuming that technically incompetent moron manages to get all 2^16 ports blocked to filesharing utilities, TCP/IP, all fifty gazillion illegal MP3 webpages, mp3board, nutella, metallicster, napster, Opennap, IM, IRC, FTP, *.zip files, and all other ways I can think of that could POSSIBLY get you a few MP3's...r>
You will probably find that if you can still log on to sony's homepage, it won't have been updated in several years (the time of the legal battle) because of their inability to use FTP software to update it.
Anarchy requires a certain amount of intellegence after all...
Inexplicible proof, once again, that SHITTY SOFTWARE IS IN NO WAY A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUST AND GOOD PARENTING!
I am very glad peacefire keeps posting this stuff. Keep up the good work.
I would like to remind you, once again, some of the sites that censorware will block:
Breast cancer awareness webpages
Chicken recipes
Information on Aids, STDS, and other sexually related issues
Information on condoms, birth control pills, spermicide, as well as other forms of birth control
Certain political sites that the creators didn't like
Sites against censorware (peacefire.org, censorware.org, etc)
As well as a host of others I can't remember or haven't heard of yet.
Sure, it may seem stupid. But idiots screaming "think of the children" at the top of their lungs are generally aiming for your wallet and couldn't care less if your kids surf porn all day, or never get to experience more than 10% of the internet.
It's called the "bubble boy effect". When exposed to a steady stream of small pathogens, people develop normal immune systems (rejection for bad sites). People who live in bubbles never get exposed to regular pathogens (bad sites) and when come in contact with such pathogens as the cold virus (bad site) die shortly after (don't know how to react to it, or overreact). I'm sure those of you with kids would want this to happen.
The RIAA/metallica vs Napster, MPAA vs everybody, and now this suit againts AOL are nothing more than the modern equivelent of that same simple, pathetic thuggery. The only difference is the lack of *PHYSICAL* violence.
Well maybe there should be some physical violence!
Aside from that immature comment (I just hadda get it outta my system) I think that it should have these features:
DVD/VCD support
Mpeg player
10/100 Ethernet connection with software to allow it to talk to ANY system
CD player
MP3 CD support
DVD audio support
MP3 ethernet player (I.E. plays MP3's over ethernet connection)
Optical output
Surround sound support
Digital tuner
HDTV support
Switchbox capability (switch between other dedicated devices for audio/video)
A cool looking remote
And having a low price tag would be nice, but with all those features I think it is unfeasible:-(

All of these people who are trying to keep DeCSS available by making it available for download and by linking to it should give up because the program itself is worthless now.
We can never give up the fight. This is no longer about technology or encrytpion, which you don't seem to understand. Judge kaplan doesn't seem to either. It will never matter later if we give up now. We can give up and let a bunch of greedy corporate entities bribe the goverment into treating us like shit. I, for one, don't intend to let that happen, and that's why I'm mirroring DeCSS.

Assuming that technically incompetent moron manages to get all 2^16 ports blocked to filesharing utilities, TCP/IP, all fifty gazillion illegal MP3 webpages, mp3board, nutella, metallicster, napster, Opennap, IM, IRC, FTP, *.zip files, and all other ways I can think of that could POSSIBLY get you a few MP3's...r>
You will probably find that if you can still log on to sony's homepage, it won't have been updated in several years (the time of the legal battle) because of their inability to use FTP software to update it.
Anarchy requires a certain amount of intellegence after all...

Inexplicible proof, once again, that SHITTY SOFTWARE IS IN NO WAY A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUST AND GOOD PARENTING!
I am very glad peacefire keeps posting this stuff. Keep up the good work.
I would like to remind you, once again, some of the sites that censorware will block:
Breast cancer awareness webpages
Chicken recipes
Information on Aids, STDS, and other sexually related issues
Information on condoms, birth control pills, spermicide, as well as other forms of birth control
Certain political sites that the creators didn't like
Sites against censorware (peacefire.org, censorware.org, etc)
As well as a host of others I can't remember or haven't heard of yet.
Sure, it may seem stupid. But idiots screaming "think of the children" at the top of their lungs are generally aiming for your wallet and couldn't care less if your kids surf porn all day, or never get to experience more than 10% of the internet.
It's called the "bubble boy effect". When exposed to a steady stream of small pathogens, people develop normal immune systems (rejection for bad sites). People who live in bubbles never get exposed to regular pathogens (bad sites) and when come in contact with such pathogens as the cold virus (bad site) die shortly after (don't know how to react to it, or overreact). I'm sure those of you with kids would want this to happen.

The RIAA/metallica vs Napster, MPAA vs everybody, and now this suit againts AOL are nothing more than the modern equivelent of that same simple, pathetic thuggery. The only difference is the lack of *PHYSICAL* violence.
Well maybe there should be some physical violence!

Umm, first of all, add more SEX!
:-(
Aside from that immature comment (I just hadda get it outta my system) I think that it should have these features:
DVD/VCD support
Mpeg player
10/100 Ethernet connection with software to allow it to talk to ANY system
CD player
MP3 CD support
DVD audio support
MP3 ethernet player (I.E. plays MP3's over ethernet connection)
Optical output
Surround sound support
Digital tuner
HDTV support
Switchbox capability (switch between other dedicated devices for audio/video)
A cool looking remote
And having a low price tag would be nice, but with all those features I think it is unfeasible
