Copyright Industry Wants To Apply Automated Blocking To The Internet’s Core Routers
Copyright Industry Wants To Apply Automated Blocking To The Internet’s Core Routers
A central theme of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) and this blog is that the copyright industry is never satisfied. Now matter how long the term of copyright, publishers a…
Because those never would falsely identify anything? Because youtube does it so well? Because data isn't encrypted?
On what planet does this make sense?
They don’t care at all unfortunately
On the "I dunno how you'll do it, but you better find a way, bitch" planet.
Frankly something just went wrong in the first place from the very beginning.
They shouldn't have any input on how infrastructure works. Especially "automated blocking". You want to sue someone, do that. Messing with infrastructure without a court is just nuts, and if someone's doing it, I hope there is another guy with Italian ancestry living nearby.
Doesn't have to be Itailian. I'm not picky about supporting modern day Robinhood's, regardless of background.
A capitalist one
Also just ignore that core routers are super specialized to moving packets as fast as possible. Having to inspect every packet would ruin them, and literally nuke service speeds across the country.
"Planet fuck you, get greedy". That's the name of the planet. It's where CEOs come from.
I would like to once again thank the motion picture and recording industry associations for their contributions to both the sophistication of media piracy and the quality of content.
Without their efforts, we would probably all still be playing Russian Roulette on Limewire for a low quality copy of Zoolander. The first person to record a movie on Betamax would probably shit themselves if they could have seen what could be accomplished with some arrogance, incompetence, and blind greed. There's no doubt that you guys are the real MVP when it comes to promoting media piracy.
The anti-piracy industry couldn't be more Mickey Mouse if it were run by the Marx Brothers.
Piracy is a service problem.
Provide a good enough service and people won't want to pirate. Anyone that still does in that scenario probably was never going to be a sale anyway.
Provide a bad service and people who would have happily paid get pushed towards piracy. The more people pirating, the better the tools get as you say.
People just want all their shit in one place for a reasonable fee.
It's not rocket science, they already were there back when Netflix was new, they just let it get shit.
The studios should release their own tracker with a premium file and send everyone a quarterly bill who uses it. I would pay it if it were reasonable... it's only extra money for them.
Of course they do. They don't want to pay for it. They just want it done at no extra cost to them. Just like copyright strikes against internet users.
I worked for a ISP and we started demanding money to roll a truck to hand those shitty things to our customers. We would tell the customer that they have no idea who they are and if they don't respond they never will. We stopped getting so many strikes. The absolute shittiest ones I spoke with were the ones with the Grateful Dead's lead singers family trust.
None of them ever paid for us to roll a truck. None of them ever served a subpoena.
Italy did that. No lessons were learned. No fix is in sight. It gets worse every day.
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.
This entire system immediately fails as soon as someone uses a VPN.
All pirates will use VPN, so this horrorshow of a system literally just only punishes innocent people
Great going, assholes.
Right, like a router can unencrypt and read what’s on the link. This is just IP blocks which will never work lol.
"Hey there customer, if you want internet access on our network (the only one available in your area), you have to install our intermediary certificate on your machine!"
I remember the times when you could rent a videotape or cassette tape and then copy it to yours or even record it straight from tv or radio and everyone was earning decent money. How it happened that we turned culture into bureaucracy ?
“Copyright industry” is such a weird term. Why not use the term everyone already knows, media companies.
Intellect gatekeepers. Killers of progress.
They somehow believe that ideas and concepts can be owned by one person only, barring everyone else who is doing something similar.
Freedom of thought and freedom of expression requires freedom from intellectual property.
It's not the same. There's all those lawyers specialized in copyright. Companies that track down "piracy". Then there's rights owners like the Disney corporation or JK Rowling. Rights management firms. Online platforms like Getty or Adobe.
Pretty sure everyone just calls them "assholes".
Funny thing about the internet is we can just find a different route. Fucking idiots.
Core routers are the core.
Internet infrastructure in the US in particular isn’t a monolith like that. A “core router” is a high capacity router in an autonomous system that will usually communicate with other core routers in other systems, owned by different and often competing entities
Why not make routers do the same thing with criticizing the rich on twitter or facebook ?
Trump will be their biggest supporter, locking down the free and open net is the Fascists goal. What we have now, and have had, in the Western World in terms of open net, is going to be destroyed down to it's basic functionality, when Donald Trump and his minion of incompetents turn their attentions to it. I'm not sure the majority really understand what's about to happen.
Eh......I'm not sure trump is actually smart enough to understand HOW to do that.
This is the same guy who heard the term "clean coal", and began describing scrubbing the cosl with scrub brushes and soapy water. The same guy who heard not to look into an eclipse, and IMMEDIATELY looked into the eclipse. The same guy who created covfefe, defended it as not being a typo, and 10 years later, we're all still baffled by what that even COULD mean.
And you think he's about to instill the biggest lockdown in the world of internet traffic? Uhhhhh, no.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
