Another option is limited proxying. If you proxy a small but significant percentage of your traffic, you can't tell who was requesting the content and who was just being an unwitting proxy. It makes mass lawsuits unfeasable.
There are 2 weaknesses in this reasoning. 1. A organisation with lot's of cash can always sue. Winning is another part(proving you didi wrong), but lot's of cases are settled just because defending is to costly and suerly not fun. 2. You can still loose. Proxying can make you an accomplice. Even worse it can make you an accomplice to even worse things you might not like at all (terrorist/child porn/extremist idea's).
This shows why file sharing should not be too illegal since this will push the file sharing underground.
This still does not answer any of the 3 questions in the article.
A) Are the logs of Lokitorrent.com in the hands of the MPAA? B) Where is the money that was donated to the legal fund? C) Can P2P'rs who uploaded / downloaded torrents be tracked down via the logs.
So there is still a next chapter. Specially the B question is interresting since it was al going so quickly.
This time the news is from the bbc. That is not america this time. So in this article all non americans can discuss the consequences for europe. Because sometimes the laws in europe try to follow the laws in the other parts of the world. Just look at the DCMA and recent discussions of patent law.
By the way, why don't the editors read their own site?
If there was a list of programs that was tested... 99% of all software that works on windows xp sp1 is NOT on the list. that does not mean 99% of all software will work on sp2. I have seen many, many examples of software that needs thinkering.
However they fail to explain why getting a trademark on mame will fix this. Are they going to use a trademark of a product they did not create to fight illegal goods? That would be wrong use of the trademark anyway. I bet ebay accepts this anyway.
You forget that a mushroom cloud with all it's heat and thunder is a very appealing image for a terrorist. They don't care about contries, their only faith is to allah. The most effective way to combat terrorism is to stop people from being afraid,
How would you like to do that? By not telling people what is happening in the world?
Users are noticing that entering the ordering form with firefox can report you do not need a replacement cable, but if you fill in the same serial number in explorer you suddenly do.
If you want to see which car is safer than another, you would do things like controlled crash tests
a better anology for a controlled crash is a honeypots in computer technology. Counting vulnerabilties/patches is counting the number of callbacks an automobile maker does.
from the article Their criteria included the number of reported vulnerabilities and their severity, as well as the number of patches issued and days of risk -- the period from when a vulnerability is first reported to when a patch is issued.
I hoped for a deeper analysis, like the security model used or how it behaves in networks. But it just back to counting vulnerabilities.
The disk never existed. The disks were missing. The security breaches were solved. The disk were found back because the security was not that bad.
and last but not least.. the data was not that sensitieve.
Like a suspect pleaing to judge: -I never did it. - never was there. -I left before it took place. -The xxx forced me to do it. (not my fault.) - I am sorry about it. (b.t.w. perfect logic for a lawyer)
1. I am blocking ad. --No profit. 2. Advertiserers set budgets The budget of today wil totally be used up. --small profit. 3. Google is vague about actual payouts, a lot of clicks on 1 days and no other days will set off all kind of red flags.. i doubt he will be paid out for this day. -- no profit. 4. hosting. Today his traffic costs will skyrocket. -- bye bye profit.
No that would include something like "There are vulnerabilities, but you cannot see them. If you see them, they will probably removed the moment you see them"
"By the way... have you seem my cat? "
I would like the Janeway solution better.
"There was a vulnerability, but we did travel back in time and fixed it before it existed." (I hate using past tense in combination with time travel.)
The yoda solution would be
"There no vulnerability be, All in mind your" (doing jedi mind trick)
On the other hand some windows 98 application fail to run on windows 98 because the right version of internet explorer is not installed. (same story on winnt4 and windows 2000). I cannot tell you abou wndows XP because i do not agree with the licencing.
Slashdot Mirror
slashfix
there is also a reference to the bug number and a (workarround)fix. Seems to be a timing bug.

DMCA next time i will use the full text.
....
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998
but maybe i was talking about the
Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA)

i can run it now at double the resoultaion... 512 MB is enough for 10.0000 byt 10.0000 pixels full color!

Baiscally thay say:
"Using mame's rom is wrong."
However they fail to explain why getting a trademark on mame will fix this. Are they going to use a trademark of a product they did not create to fight illegal goods? That would be wrong use of the trademark anyway. I bet ebay accepts this anyway.
ok..
The assumption all terrorists are moslim is wrong just as all moslims are terrorist are wrong.
Maybe if i used the word extremist....

i gues it is called firefox for a reason.
Average?
If they fixed 5 other some vulns in 2 days....
The problems with an anology....

--Nothing to see here, move on.
hmm, i believe this genuide download is going to be for extras like this
# Photo Story 3 for Windows
# Winter Fun Pack 2004 for Windows
and i think future versions of media player, moviemaker and things like that. NOT FOR SECURITY UPDATES.
now stop wining...
visicalc is the only and true spreadsheet and it still runs today.
More like
The disk never existed.
The disks were missing.
The security breaches were solved.
The disk were found back because the security was not that bad.
and last but not least.. the data was not that sensitieve.

Do you see ads on other sites that get slashdotted
see 1. (about adblock 8) )
And don't forget :
57.3 % of all numbers are meaningless. They are just made up.
1. I am blocking ad. --No profit.
2. Advertiserers set budgets The budget of today wil totally be used up. --small profit.
3. Google is vague about actual payouts, a lot of clicks on 1 days and no other days will set off all kind of red flags.. i doubt he will be paid out for this day. -- no profit.
4. hosting. Today his traffic costs will skyrocket. -- bye bye profit.

And the best way to fight this is find a vulnarability in the product of a competitor. Make them fear their product more then yours.
that what was the ;) smilie about.....
If i copy /paste the link into notepad it just looks right And if i copuy /past it back to firefox i get the "spoofed" page back again.
next:
Trolls can have a couple of days fun on slashdot.
And verisign van sell a lot of domains to phishers. (profit!)
