What's on your mind right now?

I've been regretting a lot of my decisions lately. Wrong decisions.

 

Ahh.. Can't do anything so better learn and move on, I guess.

Tired of being disappointed over and over again...

I had a surprisingly good day. I was very social. It's just P who is always there, wherever we go. It's funny but a bit weird (we know him but he has no clue who we are). I was S. She seemed to be in a very good mood. Nice smile. Must work on science thing. It will be over on Monday...

Merci Céline pour ces deux soirées inoubliables que j'ai passées à tes côtés. Je ne les oublierais jamais.

J't'adore Céline.

Merci.

Those death hoaxes on twitter are started on a daily basis, sometimes they actually get noticed like that one, sometimes they don't.

Dhruv, I think it's him. He's shown the door. :bye1:

A member created a topic containing those 3 words in the title (without the #), I almost had a heart attack when I saw it. So glad we require approval of new topics in the discussions before it's visible to everyone.

 

Thand god for that.

 

I'm glad I don't have twitter :whistling:

 

It was fine when it was first out, I don't use it as much now though.

 

 

pubs over here are apparently opening at 6am tomorrow morning

 

6AM!?!

I'm still so overwhelmed and everything about last night, cause I was on this television talk show, I mean in the audience :D and it was just so great, and I can't get over how beautiful the other hostess WAS!!! :P It's this talk show that airs live on Friday nights and it's hosted by these two women. They are so awesome together and the show is just so much fun! And to see it live yesterday, that was grrreat..! I was so excited the whole day and then when we finally got there and went into the studio and then when the hostesses came in.. WOAH! I couldn't stop staring at the other one of them, cause she was just so beautiful! :D I mean she's beautiful when you see her in tv, but to see her live, even a billion times more beautiful...

Such an amazing night, and I'm still hyped about it! :D

 

 

Waking up early tomorrow to start saying good bye to my family in Rosario... :bye1:

 

On a side note: When are you gonna grow up?? :doh:

 

Who do you mean, yourself...? :shrug: :D (Sometimes I feel like I should ask ME the same thing.)

I'm sorry you have to say goodbye to your friends/family in Rosario! :hug: You get to see them again?

ISPs in the USA to start monitoring customers’ downloads starting July 1, 2012

 

With SOPA and PIPA out of the way, what other magic tricks does the entertainment industry of America have up its sleeve? How about having ISPs (Internet Service Providers -- your Internet company) play copyright cop. Last year in July major ISPs across the USA agreed to ramp up efforts to clamp down on piracy. Since that time, we really haven't heard much more about this copyright policing. Now, a few days ago the CEO of RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) announced major ISPs in the USA (Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, Time Warner Cable, etc.) have agreed to start monitoring what their customers download starting July 1, 2012.

 

Copyright Cop

Under the agreement signed by the ISPs and RIAA/MPAA, ISPs adopt what is called a "graduated response" to piracy (i.e. illegal download of intellectual property such as movies). Customers who are accused of file sharing will initially get one or two "Copyright Alerts" informing them of their infringements and asking them to stop. If, after sending these alerts, the customers in question still continue to pirate they will receive "confirmation notices" which ask consumers to confirm they got the Copyright Alerts. If customers continue to pirate, ISPs can choose between a variety of tougher measures (dubbed "mitigation measures") such as throttling Internet speed or restricting Internet access until the customer stops pirating.

 

The RIAA/MPAA wants ISPs to build database which keep track of customers so they can flag the number of times a customer has been accused of illegal downloading.

 

This agreement between ISPs and RIAA/MPAA has been years in the making and has received political support, particularly from the White House.

 

Why This Is Important

This is important simply because all your Internet access and activity is seen by your ISP. If they wanted to, they could very easily tell you what you did on the Internet on what day, e.g. you visit X website at X time on X day. Thus, this is probably the most significant and effective step taking to date to fight piracy.

 

It isn't important that ISPs are monitoring and logging their customers' Internet activity; ISPs have been doing that for a while for stuff like cooperating with law enforcement. What is important is ISPs are now doing this to assist corporate America -- not law enforcement. Where is the check that prevents abuse?

 

Issues With This Plan

The biggest issue with this plan, in my opinion, is how ISPs will determine who is downloading and if that downloading is legit or not. Now don't get me wrong. ISPs have extremely intelligent engineers who have tricks to figure out what is being downloaded by who. What concerns me, however, is when ISPs get it wrong, i.e. false accusations. Also, what about shared networks? Is it OK to punish multiple users just because one person on the network is downloading something they shouldn't?

 

The other major issue with this plan are privacy concerns. As mentioned above, ISPs have always had the ability to monitor Internet usage because they have had to comply with law enforcement requests. However, that was for law enforcement; not for the RIAA/MPAA. Law enforcement requests usually require probable cause and the approval of a judge through a warrant. What gives the entertainment industry of America the right to bypass these basic American rights? Where does the monitoring begin? Where does it stop? Are ISPs allowed to share data on people with other ISPs?

 

What about censorship. Isn't throttling someones Internet access a form of censorship? This is the same Internet access that has been dubbed a "human right" by some organizations around the globe.

 

Finally, what happens if a customer refuses to stop downloading? Are they taken to court? Fined? Sued? Do consumers have a say in the matter? What can they be liable for?

 

The Bright Side

Not all is gloomy. ISPs have the choice of waving mitigation measures for individual customers, if they so decide; and none of the ISPs have agreed to permanently shutdown subscribers. Furthermore, I can see less lawsuits being thrown at consumers simply because people can argue in court the entertainment industry had tools to stop the pirating but they didn't so they can't hold people accountable. Finally, there are bound to be services and software that crop up to beat the system, for those that are really bothered by this.

6AM!?!

 

I actually found out yesterday that it was 730am, not 6am. However at that hour does it really make a difference?

Daniel they've essentially always been able to do that, it's part of the Patriot act. They can already track every move you make online. I never download any movies or anything anyway so it's not an issue really for me.
