This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

Big Content's latest antipiracy weapon: extradition

Ars Technica reveals the latest anti-piracy weapon from the big media corporations: requesting extradition. It is a quite alarming trend that criminal charges are used for something that in reality is a civil matter. The accused Richard O'Dwyer is not a citizen of the USA, does not have servers in the USA and did not do anything illegal in the UK. But the power from this big corps is challenging the leftover pieces of civil liberties and apparently nothing is gonna stop them. Which also has been shown with a other piece on Ars Technica about Peter Adekey which has been arrested in Canada and requested for extradition based on falsified evidence. Which happen to be a friendly service to Cisco from the NSA. Cisco wanted to influence a civil suit from Adekey against Cisco about maintenance contracts. Both cases seem to be a landmark that we now are officially living in a global plutocracy.
