  1. Signing is only the start of the battle on The ACTA Fight Returns: What Is At Stake & What You Can Do · · Score: 5, Informative

    Signing does not mean a thing because the European Parliament still has to decide whether to give its consent, and when a single nation asks the European court of Justice, or the Constitutional court then it's dead, because it is against EU Treaties/constitutions. it's not too late to get involved.

  2. Cheap investment on Google Pumps $6 Million Into Summer of Code 2011 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When you consider how helpful this is for recruitment and winning the hearts and minds of the programming elite this program is actually cheap. I would recommend governments and supranational organisations to do the same.

    This case is not about rape but a case of intercourse without consent which qualifies as a kind of crime in Sweden. Of course the Swedish prosecutor acts over the top and that is very questionable, including the smear to accuse him as a rapist in public.

    DB says he estimated its about 3500 documents and he has no access himself to the actual data, probably they are encrypted. The documents are from summer 2010.

    DB adds some info why he believed in the merits of the young women's case, regardless of the prosecutor interpol extradiction farce. Simply because JA bragged about fathering children.

    There is a difference between "taking" and "having in your possession" and "locking Assange out".

    DB says its the documents they got in the interim. You can expect a public wikileaks speaker like DB to get documents for wikileaks via geeks.

    One of the reasons for leaving wl was an alleged cooperation of Assange with a holocaust denier. That is an impossible thing to do in Germany, it doesn't even matter if Daniel Berg is a jew or not. You simply can't support that.

    "The guy sabatoged their website and took data to start up his own competing site, then writes a book to advertise it."

    The "evidence" for that is a misinterpretation of an excerpt from his book.

    According to DB
    - approx 3500 documents
    - submission system was disabled by its developer (not DB) because it was insecure. Developer is another WL defector. DB only revealed in his book that he was aware of that.
    - he does not intent to use the documents for openleaks but wants a safe method to return the data

    This Domschiet-Berg guy did something that compromised the anonymity of people who submit things to the Wikileaks website.

    Who ever claimed that?

    Domscheit-Berg said the programmer of the WL submission system disabled it and took it with him because it was insecure and JA was using it in an irresponsible manner. The programmer is another defector of WL.

    It is very typical tactics for an experienced bully to accuse the other side of the same. The bully is not DB.

    The issue is that they stole the information and aren't guaranteeing the sources the same level of anonymity that Wikileaks was promising.

    Wikileaks wasn't first. It is just a mediawiki site which publishes leaks. The whole submission infrastructure, the concepts and so forth are much older.

  16. Microsoft lobbyism and more on OpenLeaks Founder 'Crippled' WikiLeaks · · Score: 2

    Trivia: Domscheit-Berg is the husband of a Microsoft top lobbyist.

    Domschiet-Berg means Cathedralshit-Mountain. His name is Domscheit-Berg.

    "Former WikiLeaks programmer"

    --- he was a German spokes person, an one other Wikileaks guy working closely with Assange, he didn't claim to be a programmer.

    "Daniel Domscheit-Berg sabotaged WikiLeaks in a manner that threatens the anonymity of leakers,"

    -- A colleague of Daniel who also left wikileaks disabled the submission tool because they had security concerns over the submission system and found it irresponsible. The claim that he threatened the anonymity of leakers or sabotaged wikileaks is without any evidence.

    "Since leaving WikiLeaks, Domschiet-Berg has become one of the cofounders of OpenLeaks. This raises the question: if you had material to leak, would you trust it to someone who has already jeopardized the anonymity of leakers at a site where he worked?"

    -- Obviously he has not done this and you cannot name a single case where he did. You cannot confirm your allegation by referring to your former mentioning of the statement. It works for FOX news but not for educated discourse.

    Domscheit-Berg also never said he would use them in his openleaks project.
