as someone who works for companies that do the fcc validation stuff - this is correct. If they don't start that part of the process like...tomorrow/next month, it's definitely not going to happen before middle to end of next year at the earliest.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's poor planning.
The FBI themselves are the ones who pirate/copyright infringe a plenty. After all, who else illegally copied megaupload info of the alleged copyright infringement, performing more copyright infringement themselves?
do the copyright rules change depending on the *legnth* of your cable / length.
fyi Mike.
Let's hope this cable length debacle ends with Aereo, that would certainly be nice. Then again if it does you know broadcasters will push for a new law to prevent it anyway.
If the tone isn't "screw you all" enough in their response to the PR fallout the "commenting is locked" part of the post should tell you enough right there.
They can add closed captions with zero required from the studios. Just find a way to run it through google's live captioning equivalent.
Movie studios don't really hold any authority over captioning if they don't provide it, as far as I've ever heard. Or am I wrong? Netflix could even do this citing support of the ADA without a lawsuit.
as a musician who generally doesn't respect most musicians (I hate anyone who isn't explicitly talented) - I generally don't tend to respect the rest of the community too.
Or maybe it's just that there's a lot of crap out there. Then again, I'm far from a triple A musician.
while "cyberwar" has less of a cost in terms of potential lives lost, it has other costs in terms of disruption. Also that there is no way to really "Stack the cards" like we've done in the US via having a notable military presence built up just about everywhere.
So cyberwar just speeds up the inevitable: people acknowledging that war, itself, is simply a flawed idea.
The thing is, while I don't like MS and Nokia, Barnes and Noble's filings in court are pretty damning of exactly this. Considering that they settled after having put in some pretty heavy filings in court it's not much of a surprise to see Google carrying the ball after B&N settled.
Funny how this makes me immediately think of AT&T's "competition is bad for you" that they said before. Can't even say that it's any different, considering we have legacy players and legacy businesses vs societal gain and more profits.
Re: Re: actually the entire situation is 100% false
Umm, maybe you don't understand things, but you can't block a torrent successfully by simply continually spoofing IP addresses - people won't even connect to you and BT is designed to refuse a client if they give you corrupt/bad data (and discard the data). Even if you're rotating IPs on a 10 minute interval or something really short, you're also reducing the effect of trying to prevent the torrent from functioning.
If you're referring to faking torrents where they show thousands of users when there's none, that also doesn't do squat.
Also, what is this garbage. Hash collisions for
BT don't even matter, either. At best if you can create a hash collision that's on a SINGLE swarm. You could have the same bittorrent file shared across hundreds of different swarms at the same time, so even taking out a thousand swarms will not simply "stop the file from being shared".
It is somewhere between improbable and impossible to prevent a file from being shared on BT, it's just a question of how hard it is to find.
just using peerblocker, all of companies who are funded by MS to "take down torrents" get blocked and ignored by the p2p blocklist in peerblocker every time.
So this hype about "oh we can take down torrents"? absolutely false.
everything is a remix documentary showed that I think it was...movie industry uses 1 of 5 formulas to make a movie and that's it. Let alone copying and whatnot.
