Citizen Science |
|
|
RuyLopez writes "In my prior incarnation here at CastleCops, I was privileged to serve as Science Advisor to Team CastleCops. Working in close collaboration with Robin, Dragan Glas, and PCBruiser, we attempted to define a new strategic vision and broadened mission for Team CastleCops that transcended its historical rôle. Our objectives were highly ambitious and quite challenging in that they encompassed not only discussion and support of various individual distributed computing projects, but also sought to actively advance science education and understanding on a broad scale. Despite our lengthy and best efforts, we failed.
I really do not like failure, and being a scientist and being rather prone to introspection, I have often revisited a basic premise that my good friends and I shared in our endeavor to redefine Team CastleCops. That premise can be readily articulated: citizen participation can indeed contribute positively and substantively to the advancement of scientific research."

EFF attacks foundation of entire RIAA lawsuit campaign |
|
|
Bretbrs writes "
The Electronic Frontier Foundation weighed in this week on the Jammie Thomas file-swapping case, where the judge has asked for public comment on whether just making a file available for download on a P2P network should count as copyright infringement. In its filing, the EFF goes for the jugular, seeking to show that the RIAA's entire approach to file-swapping cases is flawed.
Not only does the Copyright Act not grant a making available right, the EFF said, but trade groups also shouldn't be allowed to claim that an actual distribution took place based solely on downloads from their own investigators. Together, this two-part theory would effectively eviscerate the RIAA's current legal campaign by making it nearly impossible for copyright holders to show that infringing distributions to the public have taken place over P2P networks.

Revision3 Denial Of Service Attack Traced To Anti-Piracy Company |
|
|
Bretbrs writes "
Online media company Revision3 says that it is the victim of a cyberattack launched by MediaDefender, a company that fights illegal peer-to-peer distribution of media on behalf of major entertainment companies.
Revision3, the host of Internet shows such as Diggnation, was inaccessible over the weekend. Company CEO Jim Louderback blames the outage on a denial-of-service attack initiated by MediaDefender. Louderback says the FBI is investigating, and he is critical of MediaDefender's vigilante approach to fighting copyright piracy."

China's Long List of Hacking Denials |
|
|
Bretbrs writes "
China today denied allegations from two U.S. congressmen that the nation had cracked their way into congressional computer systems. In fact, says China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang, China doesn't even have the skills to do so.
That's right. In this news story, the AP quoted Gang as saying Is there any evidence? ... Do we have such advanced technology? Even I don't believe it.
We're supposed to believe that a nuclear-armed superpower, with a growing space program, who has more Internet users than the U.S. doesn't have the people with the necessary skills or technology needed to give cyber-snooping a whirl?"
