This is Dan Washco and now the Tech Roundup from Tornfreak.com by Andy Dated March 1, 2013.
|
||||
US government wins appeal in Kim.com extradition battle.
|
||||
Kim.com and his associates have lost the key battle in their extradition fight against
|
||||
the United States.
|
||||
On two earlier occasions including once in the high court.com's legal team successfully
|
||||
argued they were entitled to examine mountains of evidence held by the US authorities.
|
||||
But those rulings were overturned this morning when the court of appeal said that the United
|
||||
States would be allowed to present a summary case after all.
|
||||
.com says he'll take an appeal to the Supreme Court.
|
||||
After Kim.com and his associates were arrested in New Zealand in January 2012, it became clear
|
||||
that the United States government would seek their extradition on copyright, racketeering,
|
||||
money laundering and other charges.
|
||||
In May 2012, the .com defense received the boost when Judge Harvey in the North Shore District
|
||||
Court disagreed with the prosecution and ordered disclosure of all documents relating to the
|
||||
alleged crimes of the so-called mega conspiracy.
|
||||
In the high court in August 2012, Justice Helen Winkleman dismissed the application for
|
||||
a New Jessel review and upheld the earlier decision handed down in the North Shore District
|
||||
Court.
|
||||
Kim.com and his co-accuses, Matthews Ortman, Finn Batato, and Brown Von Der Kolk were
|
||||
to be given access to the documents in order to mount a full and proper defense.
|
||||
But refusing to give in the US hit back again, launching an appeal against the ruling in
|
||||
hope of a different outcome.
|
||||
Today, a New Zealand appeals court handed down its ruling and it represents a huge setback
|
||||
for .com and friends.
|
||||
Returning Justice Winkleman's ruling on disclosure, the Court of Appeals said that an extradition
|
||||
hearing is not a trial in which innocence or guilty is determined.
|
||||
Therefore, the procedures appropriate in such a trial were not applicable in this case.
|
||||
Since extradition treaties effectively amount to understandings between governments to ensure
|
||||
those suspected of crimes are brought to account, all the US has to do is prove to the court
|
||||
that .com and his associates have a prima facia case to answer.
|
||||
Just per the High Court's disclosure ruling .com's legal team had hoped to obtain mass information
|
||||
from the FBI, including records, relating to the covert operations carried out.
|
||||
Those that detailed the evidence and complaints put forward to authorities by copyright holders
|
||||
plus records that show communications between copyright holders and mega-upload, including
|
||||
discussions and agreements on takedown notices.
|
||||
But following today's ruling, the US government will be allowed to submit its case for extradition
|
||||
in summary format.
|
||||
That's the high level of detailed demanded by .com's legal team.
|
||||
This morning Kim.com said that the show is not over yet and will go to the highest court
|
||||
in the land.
|
||||
If the Supreme Court accepts the case in .com wins, the evidence disclosed would be hugely
|
||||
helpful in his ongoing legal battles.
|
||||
However, even in defeat, the possibility remains that an extradition judge could demand
|
||||
to see more evidence from the United States.
|
||||
If that information was not forthcoming, the judge could refuse to extradite.
|
||||
The extradition hearing is expected to go ahead in August this year, but the date could
|
||||
be further delayed if the Supreme Court takes up the case.
|
||||
Morning, this article contains some foul language and may not be work safe.
|
||||
From tornfreak.com by Ernesto, data March 4, 2013, the Pyrepe moves to North Korea.
|
||||
The Pyrepe says it has been offered virtual asylum in North Korea.
|
||||
The move comes after the Norwegian Pyre Party was forced to stop routing traffic for the
|
||||
infamous BitToran site by a local copyright group.
|
||||
Quote, we can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the Republic of Korea to
|
||||
fight our battles from their network.
|
||||
The Pyrepe says, a trace route indeed suggests that the Pyrepe is now being routed through
|
||||
the dictatorial country.
|
||||
Last week, the Swedish Pyrepe Party was forced to shut down its routing services to the
|
||||
Pyrepe.
|
||||
The party and its leaders took the difficult decision after they were threatened with a lawsuit
|
||||
by local anti-piracy group.
|
||||
Luckily for the Pyrepe, the Pyrepe parties of Norway and Cataluna were willing to take
|
||||
over the role.
|
||||
However, after just a few days, the Norwegians had to shut down their Pyrepe note as well,
|
||||
facing similar threats as their Swedish comrades.
|
||||
Quote, we've been in talks with them for about two weeks since they opened access to
|
||||
foreigners to use 3G in their country.
|
||||
A Pyrepe insider told us, TPP has been invited just like Ert Schmidt and Dennis Robman.
|
||||
We've declined up until now.
|
||||
While the Pyrepe may not visit North Korea, they announced that they are using the country's
|
||||
network to connect the BitTorne site to the rest of the world.
|
||||
This is truly an ironic situation.
|
||||
We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations
|
||||
from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said
|
||||
to be held high.
|
||||
Quote, at the same time, companies from their country are chasing a competitor from other
|
||||
countries, bribing police and lawmakers threatening political parties and physically
|
||||
hunting people from our crew.
|
||||
And through our help comes a government-famous and our part of the world for locking people
|
||||
up for their thoughts and forbidding access to the information they add.
|
||||
Well, it turns out that this was actually a hoax, because there's an update from their
|
||||
Facebook page.
|
||||
The Pyrepe admits on Facebook, as expected, that it was a hack for the laws.
|
||||
Quote, we hope that yesterday's little hack proved that we know the internet better than
|
||||
our enemies.
|
||||
Since about 40% of the entire internet's traffic consists of torrent enabled by us.
|
||||
You can almost say that we are the internet.
|
||||
Fuck with the internet, and we'll ridicule you, until you beg for mercy.
|
||||
Quote, we've hopefully made clear once again that we don't run TPB to make money.
|
||||
A profit-hungry idiot doesn't tell the world that we have partnered with the most hated
|
||||
dictatorial ship in the world.
|
||||
We can play that stunt though, because we're still only in it for the fucking lulls,
|
||||
and it doesn't matter to us if thousands of users disband the ship.
|
||||
We've also learned that many of you need to be more critical, even towards us.
|
||||
You can't seriously cheer the fact that we moved our servers to Bloody North Korea.
|
||||
Applauds to you who told us to fuck off.
|
||||
Always stay critical towards everyone.
|
||||
Update, the Norwegian Pirate Party told Torrent Freak that they never routed any traffic.
|
||||
They just put their name on the node.
|
||||
The Telecom Company, Avello, pulled the plug allegedly after being contacted by copyright
|
||||
holders.
|
||||
From AllGov.com by Noel Brinkeroff, dated March 5, 2013.
|
||||
Next up for Big Brother, recording and transcribing public conversations.
|
||||
Matt Lease, a computer scientist at the University of Texas, is working on ways to literally
|
||||
record all human conversations no matter where they take place.
|
||||
But his research is being funded by the Department of Defense, raising the question of how
|
||||
such a technology might be used in the hands of the government.
|
||||
Lisa's plan is to utilize crowdsourcing, voice recognition software, and everyday devices
|
||||
like smartphones to gather human speech, whether in a business meeting or on the street, and
|
||||
store it somewhere so people could access what they said any time.
|
||||
He told Wired's Danger Room that he saw the work as both a, quote, need and opportunity
|
||||
to really make conversational speech more accessible, more part of our permanent record instead
|
||||
of being so ephemeral, and really trying to imagine what this world would look like if
|
||||
we really could capture all these conversations and make use of them effectively going forward.
|
||||
End quote.
|
||||
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, like Lease's idea so much, gave
|
||||
him a $300,000 grant to support his efforts.
|
||||
If successful, this new system could raise, quote, some thorny legal and social questions
|
||||
about privacy, quote, wrote Robert Beck Hughesen at Wired.
|
||||
One example cited by Lease involves, quote, respecting the privacy rights of multiple people
|
||||
involved, end quote, and how to gain permission of everyone talking before capturing and
|
||||
storing conversation.
|
||||
In the hands of spy agencies, this is not expected to be an issue.
|
||||
To learn more, head on over to the article link mentioned in the show notes and check

|

For me, ff.org, dated March 4, 2013 by Mitch Stoltz and Parker Higgins.
|
||||
White House supports unlocking phones, but the real problems runs deeper.
|
||||
The White House has come out today in support of legalizing the unlocking of cell phones for
|
||||
use on different carriers, saying it makes common sense that all consumers deserve that flexibility.
|
||||
The statement came as a response to a recent petition that received over 114,000 signatures.
|
||||
While we're people concerned about cell phone unlocking, unlocking a phone for use on a
|
||||
different carrier may run a foul of Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
|
||||
which prohibits the so-called circumvention of technical locks on copyrighted works.
|
||||
In a nod to the unworkability of such a ban, the law outlines a process for the Librarian
|
||||
of Congress to establish some exemptions every three years.
|
||||
In 2006 and 2010, the Librarian approved the exemption targeted at cell phone unlocking,
|
||||
but opted not to in the 2012 process.
|
||||
That doesn't necessarily make unlocking illegal, but it does strip it of its explicit legal
|
||||
protection it had before.
|
||||
Today's White House statement acknowledges two important points about the controversial
|
||||
act, anti-circumvention provision, that it has gotten in the way of innovation and competition,
|
||||
and that its rigid rulemaking procedures are an imperfect fit for some issues specifically
|
||||
technical ones.
|
||||
That sentiment was echoed in the Library of Congress statement also issued today.
|
||||
The rulemaking process, quote, was not intended to be a substitute for deliberations of broader
|
||||
public policy, end quote.
|
||||
The White House is correct.
|
||||
The failure to protect phone unlockers from legal threats was misguided, but the more important
|
||||
problem is that the DMCA puts an unelected official in charge of regulating personal
|
||||
devices in the first place.
|
||||
Today the outrage is about phones with carrier locks, but what really rubs against the
|
||||
grain of common sense is to premise, set forth in DMCA's Section 1201 that the Librarian
|
||||
of Congress should have to temporarily whitelist certain uses every three years.
|
||||
We're glad that the White House recognized that if you buy a device you own it, and
|
||||
you should be able to use it as you choose, your rights to reuse, resell, or give away
|
||||
devices are especially important, and the Obama administration gets this.
|
||||
As the administration's telecommunications agency pointed out last year, digital locks
|
||||
backed by the legal threats aren't just used to police copyrights, they use the block
|
||||
competition.
|
||||
Of course, the DMCA doesn't apply to only mobile phones and unlocking.
|
||||
It also gets in a way of jail-breaking tablets, game consoles, and other personal devices.
|
||||
It's used to threaten academics and tinkers, to block publication of research on computer
|
||||
security, and to cover up embarrassing failures of DRM.
|
||||
It's still potentially illegal to watch subscription video services or blu-ray discs
|
||||
on the devices and operating systems of our choice.
|
||||
And even where EFF and others have convinced the Library of Congress to create temporary
|
||||
exemptions to the DMCA for things like phone jail-breaking DVD decryption and read-aloud
|
||||
functions for e-books, creating and selling the tools to do these things is still illegal
|
||||
under the DMCA.
|
||||
Now that the Obama administration has recognized the problem, we hope they will commit to fixing
|
||||
it and not just for phone users.
|

From eff.org dated March 1st, 2013, by Dan Arbok.
|
||||
Firefox's new, smarter cookie policy is a privacy win for users.
|
||||
Mozilla recently announced a change to its default cookie policy for Firefox that will
|
||||
help protect users against unwanted tracking by invisible third parties.
|
||||
In short, a user will have to intentionally interact with a site in order for the
|
||||
machine site to be able to set a tiny snippet of data used for identification purposes
|
||||
known as a cookie on the user's machine.
|
||||
This change currently available to users running the Nightly Test Build of Firefox will bring
|
||||
Firefox in line with its competitors Safari, which had had a similar policy in place
|
||||
for a decade.
|
||||
It is far from a silver bullet against tracking as there are several other methods to
|
||||
track users, and this will not block cookies that currently exist in a user's browser.
|
||||
In other words, users must clear their cookies for the new policy to be effective.
|
||||
But instead of just clearing your cookies, for users interested in taking five minutes
|
||||
to drastically enhance their privacy, check out our tips for comprehensive tracking protection
|
||||
customizations to your browser.
|
||||
Now I'll head over to the article on the link in the show notes for those tips.
|
||||
This move by Mozilla signals that the organization is willing to provide users with much needed
|
||||
technical countermeasures for tracking.
|
||||
Instead of relying solely on the currently-stalled development of the W3C, do not track standard
|
||||
that appears increasingly unlikely to yield results.
|
||||
The patch is a careful step towards protecting users against increasingly pervasive tracking
|
||||
by disallowing third parties to set cookies.
|
||||
It will be harder for third party advertisers, data brokers, and other invisible trackers
|
||||
to build the dossier of all the websites that a user visits over many years.
|
||||
This new cookie policy is in no way a hack or gaming of how technology is supposed to
|
||||
work, but rather behavior all but encouraged under the recent IETF technical specification
|
||||
on cookies.
|
||||
Enhancing user privacy without disrupting user experience may seem like a completely
|
||||
obvious measure to take, but advertisers and other firms have a vested interest in tracking
|
||||
users to serve users with behaviorally targeted advertisements.
|
||||
Since this industry has a lot of influence on money, it is hard to make even the smallest
|
||||
change to the status quo, despite the fact that behaviorally targeted advertising represents
|
||||
only a small fraction of advertising-based business models and countermeasures, like these
|
||||
will not hurt ad-supported publishers.
|
||||
Mozilla should be praised for standing up for its users, despite a powerful interest poised
|
||||
to attack the sensible tracking countermeasures.
|
||||
However, it is important to keep in mind that this cookie policy change represents low
|
||||
hanging fruit, where privacy can be better protected without any requirement for publishers
|
||||
to change how their websites operate.
|
||||
There may be harder battles for Mozilla to fight in the future to protect users from
|
||||
tracking that do not require changes to websites or broader changes to the online monetization
|
||||
ecosystem.
|
||||
We look forward to helping Firefox make bigger strides towards offering the and enabling
|
||||
countermeasures against tracking and creating tools for users that push the ecosystem in
|
||||
a positive direction that better protects users.
