Six Strikes Is Just 'Soft SOPA'

from the more-futility-and-stupidity dept

The nationwide Six Strikes Copyright Alert System continues to roll out with many of the details still shrouded in secrecy. The few aspects of the system that can be guaranteed are negative: open WiFi could become a thing of the past and non-infringers are likely to be swept up in the CAS net.

Then there's the problematic system itself, one that places the burden of proof entirely on the end user. In addition, the punishment (in some cases, the loss of internet service) seems to greatly outweigh the crime. As Andrew Bridges points out in his interview with ReadWrite, the ridiculousness of this punishment becomes apparent when you move the discussion out of the copyright arena.
Say you send out one of those mailers for a subscription to Time Magazine. And you check the box that says bill me later. Let's say that they start sending you Time Magazine, and after 2 or 3 issues they send you the bill, and you never pay. But in the meantime you have 6 or 8 issues before they cut you off for not paying. My proposal is let's adopt Six Strikes and knock somebody off the postal system. You don't pay for it, you don't get to use the postal service any longer. Or let's say somebody blows through a toll plaza 6 times, does that mean you don't ever use the highways anymore?
Now, some might argue that this is no different than, say, revoking a driver's license after certain number of DUIs. I'd argue it's closer to punishing a boiler-room scammer with loss of telephone privileges. It's one thing to limit one specific activity (driving/driving drunk) as a deterrent. (After all, the person with multiple DUIs can still walk places, use public transportation and drink to his heart's content.) It's quite another to block off an entire form of communication simply because the infringement was committed via an internet connection.

This urge to sever infringers from their internet connections (or slow the connection to nearly-unusable speeds) stems from the copyright industries' paranoia about all things internet-related. One needs look no further than the MPAA's knee jerk reaction to Google's plan to provide 1gb up/down internet to Kansas City. From its limited viewpoint, the only thing anyone does with a fast internet connection is commit high speed infringement.

This paranoia goes hand-in-hand with the industries' general panic over every new technology that threatens their control over distribution.
The function of copyright law as it has evolved is indeed to disrupt innovation and to disrupt new technologies that threaten the interest of copyright holders. Frankly all copyright legislation has been in reaction to new technologies that are developed. And copyright law has sought as its purpose, interfering with, limiting, pampering and indeed disrupting innovation of technology, business plans, even disruption of consumer choice.
Bridges refers to the Six Strikes plan as "Soft SOPA." Even though SOPA itself was killed off, certain aspects still remain and are being incorporated into other legislation and "voluntary" initiatives like the Copyright Alert System.
Even though SOPA failed, SOPA is now in some respects the law of the land. Because we now have Soft SOPA. We have the government putting pressure on advertising networks and putting pressure on payment processors, unofficially, to take the same measures that SOPA was going to require them to [do]. But now it's a sort of 'if you know what's good for you, could you pretty please, wink-wink' method.

There are payment processors notifying companies that they are no longer willing to process payments for them. It's happening. It happened with three of my clients... [W]e have advertisers blacklisting certain sites, and telling sites. 'We're not going to place advertising on your site because people tell us you're not a good site.' So that's happening. And it's being done as "Oh it's just a private decision."
In the long run, it appears the RIAA, MPAA and various others have still managed to push their agenda through. The only difference is the lack of an official government mandate. Instead, we're seeing something a bit shadier -- SOPA's directives presented as "cooperation" between the copyright industry and private companies.

This is still business as usual for the industry and their support system within the US government. As was pointed out here (both before and after SOPA's defeat), the legal authority to shut down foreign sites the RIAA/MPAA sought when pushing this bill seemed redundant. ICE and the DOJ were already shuttering foreign sites without the aid of this supposedly essential anti-piracy legislation.

What's happening now is a continuation of that process. The content industries already have the DOJ/ICE working for them. Now, they're hoping that a blend of "voluntary" alert systems and heavy-handed "suggestions" will finish the job. And whoever gets mangled in the machinery is simply the price of "doing business." After all, it won't affect anyone but the sites and users knocked offline.

University Students and Staff Sued For Pirating 50 Cent Movie

  • March 15, 2013
A new copyright infringement case filed this week looks set to cause a fresh round of controversy. Copyright trolls from Switzerland, who say they are part of a non-profit organization, are about to shake down thousands of alleged pirates who shared the 50 Cent movie All Things Fall Apart. However, in addition to the usual subscribers of ISPs such as Verizon, Comcast and AT&T, the trolls are trying to obtain the identities of individuals located at universities around the United States.
fallapartEarlier this week and following the filing of dozens of file-sharing infringement lawsuits in the United States, hope came to a court room in Los Angeles as the trolls of Prenda Law finally began to receive their comeuppance.
After their no-show Monday they will all have to appear in court on March 29 to face the music, but in the meantime the U.S. copyright troll epidemic continues, this time in California.
In a fresh lawsuit filed by attorney Boden Davidson on behalf of his client Contra Piracy, it is claimed that thousands of individuals downloaded and shared the 50 Cent movie All Things Fall Apart. The anti-piracy outfit said it obtained the “enforcement rights” from Los Angeles-based Hannibal Pictures.
Contra Piracy claim to have monitored 2,919 individuals infringing All Things Fall Apart on more than 280,000 occasions. They say they cannot identify these people without the help of ISPs, so they are seeking the court’s help in this respect.
Adding interest to the case is that Contra Piracy are based in Switzerland. They say they are a non-profit group that brings together ‘independent members’ such as technology companies, law firms and copyright owners in order to reduce piracy.
Of course, a lack of profit isn’t usually a feature of copyright trolling. In this case Contra want an absolute minimum of $5,000 from each target in the hope they will reclaim at least $7,500,000. That is $500,000 more than the movie cost to make.
To collect its evidence Contra Piracy used anti-piracy monitoring company Logistep, a company that became infamous in the UK for its connections to troll pioneer law firm Davenport Lyons. Logistep was later banned from monitoring alleged pirates in its home country.
Contra Piracy / Logistep have provided the court with a huge list of IP addresses allegedly used to share the movie and it’s quite the who’s-who of United States ISPs. America Online, AT&T, BellSouth, Verizon, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Road Runner, Qwest, T-Mobile, Sprint – they’re all here. In fact, Contra want disclosure from a claimed 61 ISPs, which may well be a record in this type of case.
However, in addition to targeting thousands of regular domestic subscribers, Contra Piracy is revisiting the ‘bad old days’ of RIAA lawsuits by targeting educational establishments too.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, private Roman Catholic arts college The College of Saint Elizabeth, the Francis Marion arts university, University of West Florida, Lamar University, Wilberforce University and Montclair State University are all listed.
Secured Servers LLC web hosting company also makes an appearance, which could possibly be down to a customer running a seedbox. The Ingersoll Rand company can also expect a call.
How the universities involved will respond to Contra Piracy remains to be seen, but they may have to be compliant in order to show that they are worthy of federal funding.
Finally, we ran a few checks on Contra Piracy and found a couple of interesting things with their domain owner “Thomas Zeeck”. Not only does he own the Contrapiracy.com domain, he also owns domains which trade on the names of the German and Swiss pirate parties – Piraten-Partei-Deutschland.com and Piratenpartei-Schweiz.org

CIA-Controlled Anonymous Declares War on United States?


CIA-Controlled Anonymous Declares War on United States?

By Staff Report
http://www.thedailybell.com/28616/CIA-Controlled-Anonymous-Declares-War-on-United-States
 


Therefore, Anonymous along with the American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms. We call upon the Citizens of the United States to stand beside us in overthrowing this corrupted body and call upon a new era. We refuse to be a police state, we refuse to be brutalized and dehumanized by the very people our tax dollars fund to protect our cities and streets, we will not allow the government to control our destiny, our right to build a life for ourselves. We demand freedom from government control, taxation, repossession and death. You will not come to our doors and take our guns, our property, you will not force the citizens of this great country to participate in the unlawful act of government mandated healthcare. We the people refuse to put in your control our health, our bodies, our minds, our lives. We will not grant permission for the government to deploy drones over our homes and communities. We must end the federal reserve. A private central bank should not issue our currency, set interest rates and run our economy. Rather, we need to return control over the currency to the American people where it belongs. – Anonymous
Dominant Social Theme: The American People have declared war on their treasonous government.
Free-Market Analysis: The elites' dominant social themes look more and more like fairy tales so far as we are concerned. It is difficult to tell where the movies leave off and "reality" begins.
Now we have "anonymous" on YouTube declaring war on the United States. We believe that Anonymous – whatever "anonymous" this is – is probably at this point yet another weary US Intel incitement ... a kind of homegrown black op.
Why would we believe this? Because you simply don't go around formally declaring war on US$3 trillion entities that control enough nuclear firepower to extinguish all life on Earth.
If you want to change the world, you need to do it one person at a time. Education is far more potent than violence – and violence for the most part yields unexpected results, for physical force is no substitute for reason.
What we call the Internet Reformation is doing very well these days. Our paradigm works and is the most accurate on the Internet, in our humble view.
We have applied it to numerous scenarios and believe in each case we have predicted what is occurring now. We pointed out two years ago that the powers-that-be were building an Islamic Crescent in the Middle East and Africa and that is exactly what they are doing.
We pointed out more than two years ago that central banking was probably finished as a justifiable entity and this prediction comes closer to being realized all the time.
We analyzed Peak Oil and Global Warming and predicted that neither of these elite scarcity memes would stand the test of time. Both are under constant attack by people enlightened by the Internet Reformation formally or informally.
The Internet Reformation – the knowledge being transferred to people by electronic bits and bytes – continues to progress. This is how the world advances, one insight at a time. Not via anonymous declarations of war.
What purpose does that serve? Who is accommodated by that?
Perhaps the regnant state itself ... the US Leviathan with 16 separate Intel agencies, a million spies and a standing army with more weaponry than any other. The US is built for war. The power elite that runs the US – and the West – yearns for war. It seeks domestic terrorism. It is prepared for it.
And now it has its declaration, thanks to Anonymous.
Anonymous ...
It is well known, as it has been announced, that the FBI penetrated and arrested the leader of Anonymous, or at least ONE Anonymous.
So what Anonymous is this one that has declared war on the US? Another one?
Here's some more from the video (paragraphing ours):
The United States Government is seeking to end the constitution; this will endanger the American people and we will not stand by and watch while this government of deception prepares to rip away from us all of the freedoms that our forefathers granted us, the freedoms that were fought for, bled for, that our ancestors died for.
We must ensure that blood was not shed in vein, that their lives were indeed lost for a great nation that is not yet lost. We refuse to let the United States government destroy our way of life. The United States Government insists on labeling us as terrorists. The question is, "who do we terrorize?".
Is it probable that the United States government is truly afraid of we, the people? Nevertheless, The time for action is now. It is time to remind the government that we, the American people are the ones who hold the power of this country, not them. thee American people have realized, that the current government is no longer functional, Our economy is unstable, our representatives uncooperative, and our system, destroyed,
We are not calling upon the collective to de face or use a distributed denial of service attack on a United States government agency website, or affiliate. We are not calling upon the people to once again occupy a city or protest in front of a local building, This has not brought on us any legislative change or alternate law. It has only brought us bloodshed and false criticism. For the last 12 years, voting has been useless. Corporations and lobbyists are the true leaders of this country and are the ones with the power to control our lives,
To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it. Our time for democracy is here, Our time for resolution is here, This is America's time for revolution, To restore our constitutional rights, to once again, be free Therefore, Anonymous along with the American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government ...
By what means do the People exercise their authority over the Government? That depends on how resistant the Government is to complying with the Will of the People. In the case of the Declaration of Independence, it meant declaring war on the Government and overthrowing them. This is obviously a last resort after taking other steps less harsh. Have we not tried? It is clearly the Right and the Duty of the American people to overthrow the Government in order to restore the United States as a government to serve the People. This is clearly established in historical precedent. This is that time. We have exhausted every other option. Our government has ignored us.
Anonymous is for Freedom
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
Oh, come on. What trickery is this? The video announcer even covers his face with a Guy Fawkes mask made popular by the movie "V for Vendetta." The whole thing is like a Hollywood script. A masked man appears on YouTube and declares war on the US for crimes against humanity ...
And, of course, we have the familiar calls for a Nazi-style central bank responsive to the people (see beginning excerpt). This is typical of the mercantilism we've come to expect. The top elites are quite comfortable with a revolution so long as it yields up a controllable central bank (no matter who purportedly owns It.)
No, this is not how change comes.
Change permeates society when information is disseminated. The change reconfigures humanity's mysterious hive mind. You can feel it happening. And indeed, it is happening now. The old verities are collapsing. The power elite that wants to control the world is helpless against this onslaught.
Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.
In the 20th century, the power elite that wants to create global government had a chokehold on information. Directed history was the norm.
Directed history is being blown up by the Internet Reformation in the 21st century. We recently posted an article entitled, "The Renaissance Rediscovered Greece: Is The 'Net Reformation Doing the Same for Lost Civilizations?"
The parallels between the Renaissance and what is occurring today are uncanny. They are continual; the paradigm is, in our view, increasingly victorious. It does not need a formal declaration of war. It promotes itself.
Anonymous – which we think is at this point a controlled entity, a false flag – provides us with a child's version of reality. But real change is coming. Enlightenment circles the globe like sunny weather after a time of long shadows.
Conclusion: It is already here. One needn't declare it. It is gaining. It is permeating. And violence may only retard it.

MEXICO JOINS GOLD REPATRIATION BANDWAGON

March 15, 2013 By The Daily Bell reported over a week ago that now Mexico is joining Germany, the Netherlands, Ecuador, and the growing list of nations calling for repatriation of their gold from the apparently increasingly and all but bottomlessly corrupt Federal Reserve:
The New Era in Gold Repatriation will Affect Everything
There real problem, as the repatriation phenomenon attests, is a breakdown of trust in the central banking system in general. But ponder these words carefully:
“The old era in which central banking trust was ingrained in the system is gone now – and the ramifications are many even though they have not yet been felt. Central banks and bankers rely on joint programs and coordinated currency approaches. Without trust, strategies are difficult to create and programs are hard to implement.
“This is not a hypothetical observation. As gold prices have moved up and Western currencies have looked increasingly subject to a currency competition, the pressure on politicians to assure gold reserves has increased. Couple this with the overseas storage of much gold reserves, and the situation becomes combustible.
“In the case of Mexico, questions have been raised about the country’s off-shore storage of precious metals and its ability to take possession if necessary. These concerns have been magnified by Germany’s experience. Germany’s Bundesbank intends to repatriate a large portion of gold reserves abroad and by 2020 seeks to have at least 50 percent of its total gold reserves at home.
“This amount includes 300 tons from the Federal Reserve – which the US Fed may or may not have available. It is unclear, as the Fed refused to submit to an audit of Germany’s gold. The apparent tension was compounded by the slowness of the repatriation. Germany will get its gold but not for seven years.”
Yes, you read that correctly: The Fed has refused to submit to an audit of Germany’s gold, and in Mexico’s case, the problem is compounded even more, for as the article notes, more than 95% of Mexico’s gold is held by the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, the Bank of England.
But I submit there’s much more going on here than the looming “currency wars” hypothesized by The Daily Bell. In fact, what I strongly suspect is happening, and have strongly suspected since the first Bearer Bond Scandal broke with the Japanese Bearer Bond Scandal, which suspiciously involved the same amount of money as the USA’s TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program), is that someone is doing the following things (1) sending messages about a hidden and vastly fraudulent system of finance which was and is (2) sustained, as I argued recently in Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations, by (a) massive re-hypothecation of bullion and (b) by massive obfuscation of the amounts of bullion in existence, by (c) intelligence agency involvement in the same.
In short, there is a vast ocean of fraudulent paper around, and someone who has been in the know on this vast scheme since its postwar beginnings (if not before), is pulling the plug. Once you put it that way, folks, there’s only a very few contenders: the Chinese, the international Fascista, the Anglo-American oligarchs and their intelligence technocrat offspring, and the Japanese elite. And, oh yes, let’s not forget, the Russians, though not a part of this scheme, certainly know about it (Leo Wanta, anyone?)…

The New Era in Gold Repatriation Will Affect Everything

By Staff Report

Mexico to audit its gold holdings at the Bank of England ... The Mexican Government Audit Office has issued an official statement, criticizing the Bank of Mexico for not auditing the gold it has supposedly bought and stored at the Bank of England. The auditors ask the Central Bank of Mexico to "make a physical inspection with the counterparty that has the gold under its custody, in order to be able to verify and validate its physical wholeness and compliance with the terms and conditions of dealing with this asset." – Voice of Russia
Dominant Social Theme: Trust us. Just trust us.
Free-Market Analysis: The move toward auditing gold holdings is getting more pronounced as we can see from this demand by Mexico in the above article excerpt. German officials have asked the US government for gold repatriation and so has Venezuela. Now it's Mexico's turn to start the process.
The old era in which central banking trust was ingrained in the system is gone now – and the ramifications are many even though they have not yet been felt. Central banks and bankers rely on joint programs and coordinated currency approaches. Without trust, strategies are difficult to create and programs are hard to implement.
This is not a hypothetical observation. As gold prices have moved up and Western currencies have looked increasingly subject to a currency competition, the pressure on politicians to assure gold reserves has increased. Couple this with the overseas storage of much gold reserves, and the situation becomes combustible.
In the case of Mexico, questions have been raised about the country's off-shore storage of precious metals and its ability to take possession if necessary. These concerns have been magnified by Germany's experience. Germany's Bundesbank intends to repatriate a large portion of gold reserves abroad and by 2020 seeks to have at least 50 percent of its total gold reserves at home.
This amount includes 300 tons from the Federal Reserve – which the US Fed may or may not have available. It is unclear, as the Fed refused to submit to an audit of Germany's gold. The apparent tension was compounded by the slowness of the repatriation. Germany will get its gold but not for seven years.
As for Mexico, well ... there is a good deal of paperwork that must be sorted out – and Mexico is in much the same shape as Germany regarding overseas holdings of assets. Mexico's central bank owns gold but it might be considered "paper gold" as the actual physical holdings are not available. Here's more from the article:
The Government Audit Office has concluded that 95% of the gold reserves of the Bank of Mexico are stored abroad and 99% of this gold is stored with the Bank of England. However, the Mexican central bank has never inspected the gold it bought, has not performed purity tests on it and doesn't even have a list of all the gold bars stored in London. In their current state, Mexico's gold reserves are no more than "paper gold" in the meaning that the Bank of Mexico doesn't have any physical gold, but mere "claims" on a certain amount of gold supposedly held by the Bank of England.
Bill Gross, the Chief Investment Officer of PIMCO (the world's largest bond fund) has recently said that "Central banks distrust each other". The pending audit of the Mexican gold reserves is not a singular case of actions that show a high level of mutual distrust among central banks. The latest move of the Bundesbank, which demanded the repatriation of its gold holding from Bank of New York, Bank of England and Banque de France, is another sign of distrust in the world's financial system. It is quite probable that after the audit, Mexico will decide to repatriate its gold holdings, possibly prompting other countries to follow suit.
It is the distrust – increasingly in evidence – between central banks and governments that makes the issue of gold repatriation even more contentious. In a market environment increasingly marked by currency competition, government officials and bankers can be polarized by a lack of communication and difficulties in locating assets.
This is only bound to exacerbate tensions that are currently manifesting themselves in what are called currency wars. These currency wars are not going to subside any time soon and will probably expand in scope and vehemence as stresses and strains on the world's financial system continue.
The driver of these currency wars is exports. Countries want to export goods and services efficiently and inexpensively compared to global competitors. The easiest way to accomplish this is to debase currency. As a currency-volatility article posted at MoneyMorning points out, "Driving down your home currency relative to the currencies of the buyers of your products is a way of implementing a 'cover all bases' export growth strategy."
MoneyMorning also points out that the result of this maneuvering will lead to "disruptive volatility in stocks, commodities, and bonds." Multinationals will not necessarily do well in such a combustible environment. The translation from foreign currency back into dollars can inflate the bottom line in ways that are not realistic. MoneyMornings makes the case as follows:
When a foreign country's currency is higher and rising versus the dollar, it buys more dollars. That means you can have a situation where a company's sales overseas are flat or negative (which would be a warning sign) but because the money was earned overseas and then translated (for accounting and reporting purposes) into dollars, it looks like their earnings were higher.
MoneyMorning presents the idea that the dollar may be the best bet in a volatile currency environment. We're not so certain about this. If it turns out that the Fed itself does not have access to as much gold as it maintains, then the dollar, too, could be drawn into a prolonged debate over paper gold and reclamation of precious metals.
It is not yet clear who possesses how much gold in the murky world of central banking holdings. But as these issues are sorted through, the impacts on currency valuations will likely be significant. Issues of gold holdings and repatriation are interlinked with currency valuations and both bear watching.
If you're concerned about how this murky world may affect your own assets, consider this Daily Bell Special Report: All of Your Wealth and Assets Are At Risk in the United States ... Meet the Maestro of Asset Protection and Estate Planning Solutions for Americans
Conclusion: The old era of central bank trust has waned. The new era will be significantly more contentious, or so it seems.http://www.thedailybell.com/28785/The-New-Era-in-Gold-Repatriation-Will-Affect-Everything

 This entry records a country's net trade in goods and services, plus net earnings from rents, interest, profits, and dividends, and net transfer payments (such as pension funds and worker remittances) to and from the rest of the world during the period specified. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.
Definition: The current account balance is the difference between a country's savings and its investment. "[If the current account balance is] positive, it measures the portion of a country's saving invested abroad; if negative, the portion of domestic investment financed by foreigners' savings."
The current account balance is defined by the sum of the value of imports of goods and services plus net returns on investments abroad, minus the value of exports of goods and services, where all these elements are measured in the domestic currency.
