When copyright infringement becomes criminal...

§ 506. Criminal offenses⁴

(a) Criminal Infringement. —

(1) In general. — Any person who willfully infringes a copyright shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, if the infringement was committed —

(A) for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain;

(B) by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000; or

(C) by the distribution of a work being prepared for commercial distribution, by making it available on a computer network accessible to members of the public, if such person knew or should have known that the work was intended for commercial distribution.

(2) Evidence. — For purposes of this subsection, evidence of reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work, by itself, shall not be sufficient to establish willful infringement of a copyright.

Sven does not need to go...

So, he beats United twice, and finishes in the top 10, and he is going to be sacked? Makes me wonder if I should just forget about this club until they get out from under this tyrant of an owner.

TELL THE TRUTH - Mos Def - Immortal Technique - Eminem

Heard this on Adam Curry's Daily Source Code this week, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would have downloaded it, but it doesn't appear to be available in the iTunes store.

I am so disappointed with our judicial system today.

It simply blows my mind how these guys can walk after something like this. It is very hard for me to believe that this type of activity should simply be forgiven. Police must be held to a higher standard, because with great authority comes great responsibility. It is very hard, maybe even impossible, to properly respect police officials when they (1) engage in these kinds of acts and (2) get away with it.

Even more disappointing than the verdict is that one of the bastard cops decided to thank God for the acquittal. I can only assume that he thinks God wanted them to shoot this innocent man 50 times and get away with it. Maybe they should ask God why they had to be the ones to shoot a man down for doing nothing. Truth is that no God that is worth a damn would let this kind of thing happen. It is certainly easier to believe that there is no such thing as "God" than buy into this kind of bullshit. Christians really piss me off sometimes.

Hmmm... Maybe fingerprints aren't the best way after all?

Check this out.

Turns out that the Chaos Computer Club managed to lift the print of Wolfgang Schäuble, the biometric anti-privacy Federal Minister of the Interior for Germany. Apparently the print can be used to validate as Schäuble himself at any biometric checkpoints.

I thought it was relatively well known that fingerprints were not reliable biometrics anymore. It's somewhere along the lines of using DES for encryption. It's a technology that has been broken by other advancements and no longer provides the security that we once thought it did.

Attorney General says piracy is linked to terrorism!

Right in this article, the US Attorney General tries to make the claim that piracy/copyright infringement is linked to terrorism. Give me a break. I would really want to see the evidence that any terrorist group is making money off of this before I entertain the idea. It really should be Al-Qaeda too, since they are the big threat out there.

The government cannot stop buddying up to their big business special interests, even if it means losing all credibility in their "War on Terror." They just cannot resist the temptation to use it as an excuse to further every little special cause they have in their donor lists.
