falhando em pirate bay, lembram que falei do plano do g8 de implementar entre eles e empurrar guela abaixo no resto do mundo uma lei de copyright e pi que só favorece a indústria?
pois tudo indica que vai rolar e é isso mesmo, ok, anotado:
G8 Pushes Anti-Piracy Trade Agreement
During their annual summit meeting in Japan, the G8 members agreed to get the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) ready for implementation by the end of the year. The agreement, pushed by multimillion dollar companies, will open the doors to a digital police state, much to the pleasure of the MPAA and RIAA.
isso motivou uma nova promessa do tpb: criptografar a tah intarweb.
The Pirate Bay Wants to Encrypt the Entire Internet
The Pirate Bay has started to work on a new encryption technology that could potentially protect all Internet traffic from prying eyes. The project, which is still in its initial stages, goes by the name “Transparent end-to-end encryption for the Internets“, or IPETEE for short. It tackles encryption not on the application level, but on the network level, the aim being that all data exchanged on your PC would be encrypted, regardless of its nature — be it a web browser streaming video files or an instant messaging client. As Pirate Bay co-founder Fredrik Neij (a.k.a. Tiamo) told me, “Even applications that don’t supporting encryption will be encrypted where possible.”
quem $erá que vai ganhar?
atualização
o wikileaks teve acesso a uma proposta dos eua, de outubro de 2007, para um acordo multilateral que unifique as leis de copyright e propriedade intelectual entre eua, japão, canadá, méxico, suíça e nova zelândia.
chamado de ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), no slashdot ganhou o nome de ‘Pirate Bay Killer Trade Agreement’.
o wikileaks resume assim o documento (grifo meu):
This document details provisions of a proposed plurilateral trade agreement that would impose strict enforcement of intellectual property rights related to Internet activity and trade in information-based goods. If adopted, a treaty of this form would impose a strong, top-down enforcement regime imposing new cooperation requirements upon ISPs, including perfunctory disclosure of customer information, as well as measures restricting the use of online privacy tools. The proposal also specifies a plan to encourage developing nations to accept the legal regime.
algumas notícias depois, o slashdot anunciava talvez a solução para uma provável morte do pirate bay caso o acordo passe a valer. é um plugin pro azureus, o Cubit:
Cubit is a system that provides fully decentralized approximate keyword search capabilities to Azureus as a standard plugin. Approximate search means that you can use Cubit to find a movie, song or artist even if you don’t know which spelling variation is used in the title or in her name. It gives you what you mean instead of what you asked for exactly, and returns the best results in the network in only a few seconds.
alguém que me lê já usou a freenet?
