title: Rapid Pirate Site Blocking Mechanism Introduced By Portugal
author: Andy

<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/stopstop.jpg" alt="stopstop" width="180" height="120" class="alignright size-full wp-image-81719">There can be little doubt that one of the most-favored anti-piracy mechanisms of the past several years is that of site-blocking. Rather than tackling sites head on with expensive legal action, rightsholders have domains blocked at the ISP level with the aim of diminishing ease of access and reducing direct traffic. </p>
<p>The strategy is mainly employed around Europe, with the UK standing out as the clear front-runner. Hundreds of domains are now blocked there by local ISPs after several High Court injunctions. Now Portugal has joined the club with a new system that not only aims to speed up the blocking process, but one that could put the UK quickly in the shade.</p>
<p>This week the Ministry of Culture announced the signing of a memorandum between its own General Inspection of Cultural Activities (<a href="http://www.igac.pt/">IGAC</a>), the Portuguese Association of Telecommunication Operators (<a href="http://www.apritel.org/">APRITEL</a>), various rightsholder groups, <a href="https://www.dns.pt/pt/">the body</a> responsible for administering Portugal&#8217;s .PT domain and representatives from the advertising industry.</p>
<p>The memorandum lays out a new mechanism for blocking so-called &#8216;pirate&#8217; sites. In common with similar frameworks elsewhere, the process is initiated by a complaint from a rightsholder association. Local anti-piracy group MAPINET then collates evidence that a site is engaged in the unlawful distribution of copyright works and has failed to cease its activities.</p>
<p>MAPINET subsequently forwards its complaints to the Ministry of Culture where the General Inspection of Cultural Activities (IGAC) conducts an assessment and notifies local Internet service providers of the sites being targeted.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://tek.sapo.pt/noticias/internet/artigo/a_pirataria_online_tem_os_dias_contados_em_portugal_acordo_facilita_bloqueio_de_-43609kkc.html">reports</a> in local media, the system will target sites with more than 500 allegedly infringing links and those whose indexes contain more than 66% infringing content.</p>
<p>Only two complaints can be filed against pirate sites each month. However, each complaint can contain 50 websites, meaning that 100 sites could become blocked every month. Visitors to those sites will receive a notice in their browser advising them that the site has been blocked (Update: it is not yet clear what informational message users will receive, or whether they will receive one at all)</p>
<p>The memorandum is expected to come into force during the next two weeks so sites could be blocked as early as September.</p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So I just got hired to a very small company that works with oil and gas. The boss asked me to build setup a sever and database. We are using a Mac Mini (put your pitch forks down). I tried using homebrew to get the benefits of linux but decided that maybe dual booting into linux and using that for production services instead. My requirements of the setup: the database must play nice with JSON, so I opted to use Postgresql. Also need a stable OS environment while still being easy for me to maintain and learn. I&#39;m new to all of this. Any advice on whether I&#39;m on the right path and what distro I should use (I was thinking of using Ubuntu with GUI).</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/lawsof3"> lawsof3 </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fbg4k/im_a_new_intern_is_ubuntu_a_good_server_platform/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fbg4k/im_a_new_intern_is_ubuntu_a_good_server_platform/">[52 comments]</a>

title: BitTorrent Inventor Granted P2P Live Streaming Patent
author: Ernesto

<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/bram-stream.jpg" alt="bram-stream" width="200" height="134" class="alignright size-full wp-image-30594">Hoping to revolutionize live broadcasting on the Internet, Bram Cohen <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/bram-cohen-to-deliver-bittorrent-live-streaming-090916/">started working</a> on a new protocol for live streaming video more than half a decade ago. </p>
<p>At the time BitTorrent was believed to be responsible for a third of all Internet traffic. However, streaming services were quickly gaining momentum.</p>
<p>The problem with streaming, live streaming in particular, are high latencies. It can sometimes take up to a minute before a &#8220;live&#8221; stream reaches the audience.</p>
<p>Cohen solved this problem with a new BitTorrent Live protocol that has a much lower latency while sharing the bandwidth costs among users. This allows anyone to stream to an audience of millions at minimal cost. </p>
<p>This week Bram Cohen&#8217;s patent for the live streaming patent was awarded (<a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/273028149/TorrentFreak-com-Bittorrent-Live-Patent?secret_password=7B0KrbL4sZQcm9VEEZVB">pdf</a>). According to BitTorrent&#8217;s inventor, who still works at the company, his technology can shape the future of live broadcasts.</p>
<p>Two years ago BitTorrent Inc. first <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-new-live-streaming-platform-130312/">demoed</a> the technology in a web-based player, but this project was later discontinued. The company is now working on a new release that will come in the form of a mobile application.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re working on using the technology for a new application, focusing on mobile,&#8221; Cohen tells TF.</p>
<p>Mobile live streaming has taken off this year with the release of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periscope_(app)">Periscope</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meerkat_(app)">Meerkat</a>. Both apps allow users to start live streams instantly and Cohen says they could make good partners for BitTorrent Live.</p>
<p>&#8220;Periscope and Meerkat are applications which use live, where what we have is underlying technology. We may work with them in the future,&#8221; he notes.</p>
<p>That said, the true strength of BitTorrent Live becomes apparent when there is a huge audience, not just a few viewers. This means that it will excel at streaming major events such as sports games and breaking news.   </p>
<p>&#8220;The amount of utility of BitTorrent Live is based on how many people are watching something simultaneously. Big events where everybody is watching the same thing at the same time, like sports, are the best applications,&#8221; Cohen tells us.</p>
<p>Since BitTorrent Live shares the distribution costs among viewers, the bandwidth investment for these streams will be minimal compared to current solutions. In addition, latency will also be much lower making these broadcasts &#8216;more live.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ironically in addition to being much better on bandwidth costs BitTorrent Live also has much lower latency, five seconds instead of 30-60 seconds, which is bordering on tape delayed instead of live,&#8221; Cohen says.</p>
<p>Previously BitTorrent Inc. suggested that it could help Netflix to increase its performance. Not with BitTorrent Live, but with the standard BitTorrent streaming technology which will allow Netflix to offer higher quality streams for a fraction of the current costs. </p>
<p>It appears that Netflix realizes the power of BitTorrent-like streaming, as the company is currently working <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/netflix-needs-bittorrent-expert-to-implement-p2p-streaming-150520/">on its own P2P streaming technology</a>.</p>
<p>Eventually Cohen believes that all streaming will go over the Internet, both live and pre-recorded. It is much cheaper than the cable approach, especially with BitTorrent under the hood.</p>

<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/youtubeface.jpg" alt="youtubeface" width="222" height="158" class="alignright size-full wp-image-107705">While the diminishing revenues of the major recording labels have been a hot topic for many years, it&#8217;s only relatively recently that the debate over artists&#8217; earnings has found itself almost constantly in the news.</p>
<p>A decade-and-a-half of disruptive technology has certainly played its part, but without that turmoil the music industry might still be playing catch up today. At any rate, the rise of online piracy arguably provided a much needed wake-up call and prompted the rise of dozens of legitimate music services.</p>
<p>However, according to IFPI chief executive Frances Moore, some of them aren&#8217;t playing by the rules since they fail to properly compensate creators.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is true that artists and record producers are not being paid fairly for the use of their music. This is because user upload platforms, such as SoundCloud and YouTube, are taking advantage of exemptions from copyright laws that simply should not apply to them,&#8221; Moore said this week.</p>
<p>The problem lies with the nature of these platforms. While services such as Spotify obtain expensive licenses from the record labels for the use of their content, Moore says that sites including YouTube are in effect gaming copyright law when they monetize content uploaded by their users without first obtaining the appropriate licenses.</p>
<p>&#8220;Laws that were designed to exempt passive intermediaries from liability in the early days of the internet – so-called &#8216;safe harbours&#8217; – should never be allowed to exempt active digital music services from having to fairly negotiate licenses with rights holders,&#8221; Moore explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;There should be clarification of the application of &#8216;safe harbors&#8217; to make it explicit that services that distribute and monetize music do not benefit from them.&#8221;</p>
<p>In order to combat the problem, IFPI says it is determined to work towards a fair licensing environment in which all services offering organized access to music are first required to obtain similar licenses from the labels.</p>
<p>&#8220;We want to ensure that services that make our content available, including by curating and monetizing it, are licensed on the same basis,&#8221; IFPI informs TorrentFreak.</p>
<p>&#8220;Services such as Spotify and Deezer negotiated licenses with right holders on fair market terms prior to their launch.  By contrast, user-upload services such as YouTube and SoundCloud did not seek a license at the outset but rather built a business off the back of unlicensed content, relying on the &#8216;safe harbour&#8217; exemptions to EU copyright law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Interestingly, IFPI isn&#8217;t stating that user-generated content sites (UGC) such as YouTube and Soundcloud are unlicensed. Instead, the music group says that the terms of those licenses were negotiated under duress, after services got big first and then sought to work with the labels later.</p>
<p>&#8220;Although some user-upload services are now licensed by rights holders, those licenses were not negotiated in a fair environment because rights holders’ content was already available on the services on a mass scale and the measures available to prevent this – i.e. notice and take down and Content ID – are easily circumvented and ineffective in preventing all content being available,&#8221; IFPI explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a result rights holders were left with no realistic option but to allow the content and take the license terms on offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>In order to level the playing field moving forward, IFPI says it will seek legislative clarification (and presumably change, if necessary) to ensure that &#8220;safe harbor&#8221; provisions in the EU are restricted to passive intermediaries, thus forcing UGC sites like YouTube to obtain appropriate licenses.</p>
<p>&#8220;User upload services that curate and monetize content are not passive intermediaries so should license on fair market terms in the same way that services such as Deezer and Spotify do,&#8221; IFPI says.</p>
<p>&#8220;There have been conflicting court decisions in different countries in Europe regarding the responsibility of user-uploaded content services.  Therefore we are seeking clarification in the EU legislative framework to ensure that services that are active in distributing content are required to take a license from right holders and cannot rely on the &#8216;safe harbours&#8217;,&#8221; the music group concludes.</p>
<p>While the labels clearly think they are owed additional revenue from the likes of YouTube and have a duty to level the playing field for licensed services such as Spotify, it&#8217;s unlikely that the video giant will sit back while established legal safe harbors are eroded in Europe. Much bigger problems lie ahead if that transpires.</p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a legitimate copy of Windows 8, have been running it since it first came out and I paid $120 for the Pro edition. When Win8.1 came out, I upgraded to it, no problems. Then this past week, like most people, I did the free upgrade to Win10. It went through without issue, activated and everything. Last night, I upgraded my motherboard and processor, then used my computer for about 3 hours, no problems.</p> <p>This morning, I woke up to find &quot;Activate Windows&quot; on the bottom of my screen. Thinking it was because of the upgrade, I went to the activation wizard. It had the error message:</p> <blockquote> <p>This product key doesn&#39;t work. You might need to get in touch with the store or company you bought Windows from, or you can buy a new key from Microsoft.</p> </blockquote> <p>The specific error details are as follows:</p> <blockquote> <p>Error code: 0xC004C003</p> <p>Error description: The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.</p> </blockquote> <p>I was understandably upset. I searched online, found out how to bring up the activation wizard manually (Win+R, &quot;slui 4&quot;). I called the number, entered the installation ID and got told there was an issue, and it transferred me to a tech.</p> <p>Long story short, he couldn&#39;t activate it, and transferred me to the &quot;Up and Running&quot; department. The new tech (James) couldn&#39;t do it, either, and informed me that in order to activate, I&#39;d need to do a wipe/reinstall of Win8, then go through the upgrade process all over again.</p> <p>After demanding (multiple times) to speak with a supervisor, I finally got to speak with one (Jim). Jim was EXTREMELY helpful and informed me that they&#39;re encountering &quot;an emerging issue&quot; where the upgrades are deactivating and won&#39;t activate because of some kind of issue with the product keys. I was asked to wait a week, and if it still hasn&#39;t resolved, to call Microsoft again and they&#39;ll get it straightened out.</p> <p>I&#39;m posting this hoping that if other people encounter the issue I did, they&#39;ll have read this and know what&#39;s going on. If so, hopefully they won&#39;t go through the hassle I just went through trying to find out why their legitimate copy of Windows won&#39;t activate.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/ZilockeTheandil"> ZilockeTheandil </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3feydy/psa_windows_10_upgrade_not_going_as_smoothly_as/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3feydy/psa_windows_10_upgrade_not_going_as_smoothly_as/">[28 comments]</a>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>After much, much talk, my father, 82, was persuaded to use computers. The municipality where he lives offers a basic introduction to computers, but in a windows environment.</p> <p>He finished this course about two weeks ago.</p> <p>At home, he has a package comprising phone+TV+Internet(ADSL), but the internet is only used when I or my brother are there. I bought him a computer (already purchased, UEFI), which will be installed when I visit him, in the next coming weeks (we live about 600 km apart).</p> <p>My father had some (limited) experience with computers before retiring (business management programs on MSDOS environment).</p> <p>He is relatively fluent in English, so using a distro without our native language support (Portuguese) is not a barrier (and it might even be a positive thing).</p> <p>Since he retired, about 20 years ago, he never used a computer until the frequency of this course.</p> <p>During my visit in the coming days, I intend to work with him so that he gets familiarized using linux/libreoffice/browser/email. I intend to administer his computer using vnc over ssh.</p> <p>I think the important factors to consider are a linux distribution with a simple interface that is easily customizable and consistent in displaying large fonts.</p> <p>I googled for seniors/elderly+linux, but found no consistent information for a paved way to get things done.</p> <p>I would like to appeal to reddit users who have experienced leading senior citizens to computers, what were the difficulties you have encountered and what were the most difficult situations you faced and how were these managed? What is the Linux distribution you chose, what were their advantages and caveats?</p> <p>I am reasonably familiar with Linux so I can install any distribution presented as a proposed solution - please do not try to talk me to install Ubuntu/Unity (it sucks).</p> <p>Some considerations:</p> <p>0) I am a big LXDE fan, my main computers are Debian+LXDE &amp; Lubuntu, but I am afraid that my father might become lost in the menus (I am afraid that LXDE visuals may become &quot;unstable&quot; if I enlarge the fonts).</p> <p>1) Big, clear fonts are a must (size 15/16 minimum)</p> <p>2) A distro with LTS would be a bonus.</p> <p>3) PClinuxOS is a rolling distro and the FullMonty (from the screenshots) seems OK for elderly persons</p> <p>4) ElementaryOS?</p> <p>5) KDE may be overbloated for seniors</p> <p>6) Mint seems somewhat unstable, but I never used it besides booting from liveusb.</p> <p>7) Eldy (<a href="http://www.eldy.eu/en/">http://www.eldy.eu/en/</a>), which is not a distro, seems stale</p> <p>You read it all, thank you for your attention.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/test666v2"> test666v2 </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ff4rt/linux_for_an_elderly_father_long_sorry/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ff4rt/linux_for_an_elderly_father_long_sorry/">[24 comments]</a>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Unneccecary rant; I&#39;m not a very experienced Linux user, however whenever I decide to install a distro, it&#39;s always been Arch. I enjoyed the fiddeling. Now however, I have decided to convert my gaming-rig to linux. I started by installing Arch, but I spent 11 hours trying to understand why / wouldn&#39;t mount, and then giving up, reinstalling on HDD, leaving 4 250GB SSD&#39;s useless. At least it boots now, even though it complains on unmounting when I turn off. So I&#39;m inside, and alsa starts complaining because I use USB-mic to record, and Mix Amp pro as output, fine, I get rid of the MixAmp, and now at least I can record and listen to youtube, but it causes(I suspect this is the reason) cinelerra to crash. Chrome gets screwed because of multi-monitor setup in awesome wm, and firefox-flash exit fullscreen if it loses focus, and HTML5 doesn&#39;t want to run HD-youtube. Right now I&#39;ve been without a well-oiled functioning computer for 7 days, and I&#39;ve had it, I&#39;m looking for something new.</p> <p>Rant over; So I&#39;m looking for something a bit more easy. I don&#39;t like Ubuntu because of all the bloatware. And those are the only two distros I&#39;ve ever tried. I&#39;m looking for something that is customizable, a good community/documentation, doesn&#39;t come with loads of bloatware, a good(great) sized package-repository(I do like the size of Ubuntu here) that is updated regularly, something that has drivers working out of the box. Also, there are a few things that has started to annoy me with awesome, so I&#39;m looking for a different window/desktop manager. I used Xfce back in the day, it was OK, maybe something else this time.</p> <p>Anyone that have any good suggestions, feel free to tell me why your distro is superior. I don&#39;t mind fiddeling with things such as widgets, customizing code etc, but the annoyance of spending hours getting daemons to run properly, and going trough tons of man-pages and google-searches to get something stupidly simple to work was just too much for me.</p> <p>Edit; I found a stupid thing I did in awesome(set my second monitor as my primary monitor in order to not have google-chrome spaz out when rearranging tabs), wich was the cause of multiple of my issues. The fact that I figured this out(as well as the beer I found in the refridgerator) has lowered my bloodpressure substantially, and I have decided not to spend my saturday evening installing a new distro. Still, I enjoy the answers, so feel free to keep them coming!</p> <p>Edit2; You guys make good arguments, I&#39;m reconsidering how I will spend the saturday evening.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/F34346"> F34346 </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ffih5/coming_from_arch_looking_for_a_new_home/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ffih5/coming_from_arch_looking_for_a_new_home/">[14 comments]</a>

Rightscorp was sued for <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/piracy-monetization-firm-rightscorp-sued-harassment-abuse-141124/">fraud, harassment and abuse </a> late last year and just last month Internet provider Cox Communications described its settlement emails as &#8220;<a href="https://torrentfreak.com/cox-wants-rightscorps-piracy-tracking-source-code-150624/">improper extortion threats</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>Today we can add another setback to this list. For the past few days prominent anti-virus vendor Bitdefender has been blocking the company&#8217;s website after categorizing it as malware.</p>
<p>People who receive a notice from Rightcorp are welcomed with the following popover when they try to access the <a href="https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ncr#q=site:secure.digitalrightscorp.com">settlement page</a>. The notice is limited to the settlement pages and doesn&#8217;t appear on the <a href="http://www.rightscorp.com/">regular website</a>. </p>
<p><center><strong>Bitdefender&#8217;s malware warning</strong><br></br></center><center><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/bitdefrights.jpg" alt="bitdefrights" width="567" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108812"></center></p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear why Bitdefender has listed Rightcorp&#8217;s website as malware but it&#8217;s certainly plausible that the huge amount of settlement emails linked to a payment request raised a red flag.</p>
<p>In any case, Bitdefender users are less likely to pay up if their anti-virus software warns them not to visit the page, which can only further hurt Rightcorp&#8217;s already meager revenues.</p>
<p>Despite sending out millions of notices Rightscorp has yet to turn a profit. The company continues to trade at a loss and recently increased its <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/warner-bros-inflate-tv-show-piracy-fines-by-33-150614/">settlement amount by 50 percent</a>, hoping to get out of the red.</p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Though I could probably write a lot on this subject, I&#39;m going to keep it short and to the point. </p> <p>This morning I will admit I was looking forward to installing Windows 10. After so many years and so much experience with Microsoft products I should have known better, and it turns out my excitement, such as it was, didn&#39;t last long. </p> <p>I downloaded the ISO for Windows 10 (a real Windows install disk? Wow!), fired up VirtualBox and started the install process. Eventually I had to upgrade VirtualBox. Tried to install Windows 10 six times. All six failed. Total time investment = more than 2.5 hours. </p> <p>The install application made two attempts to download all the &quot;critical updates&quot;, didn&#39;t provide me with a serial number (that&#39;s kind of important, you know?) and treated me to constant blank screens where nothing was happening.</p> <p>Afterwards, just for fun I loaded up the ISO for Ubuntu 14.04. Exactly 17 minutes later I booted to my new installed desktop. Click, click, click, done. </p> <p>I&#39;m a veteran of the OS wars. I ran DOS 5.0, actually configured inter-office networking in Windows 3.11 and ran Slackware 3.0 as a primary desktop on a Pentium I. </p> <p>And it&#39;s time to say goodbye to Microsoft for good. There is no excuse for a company of Microsoft&#39;s size and experience to publicly release a product that simply doesn&#39;t work. After Vista and Windows 8 and all the chances they&#39;ve had to get it right, this is just a disgrace. There&#39;s no excuse and frankly I honestly don&#39;t care any more.</p> <p>If you compare where Linux was in 1994 to where it is now and put it side-by-side with Windows, the contrast is shocking.</p> <p>The stories about Windows 10 being a gigantic rootkit and spyware platform didn&#39;t help either. Microsoft has never been trustworthy. Releasing an operating system with a wanton public disregard for the dignity of its users is intolerable. </p> <p>I&#39;m also waving goodbye to all my Windows games and Adobe Creative Cloud. If that&#39;s what I must sacrifice to regain control of my own computer, then so be it. </p> <p>I think Microsoft got three things right. I still get a twinge of nostalgia for the Windows 95 launch. I think Visual Basic 5.0 Pro was one of the finest IDEs ever manufactured, and I think the WinG/DirectX platform is tremendous and always has been.</p> <p>But that was then. Sorry guys. I stuck with you for 21 years, and I just can&#39;t do it any more. I&#39;m out. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/scandalousmambo"> scandalousmambo </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ffunx/time_to_bid_microsoft_farewell/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ffunx/time_to_bid_microsoft_farewell/">[98 comments]</a>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello <a href="/r/Linux">/r/Linux</a> I&#39;ve been working with windows servers for a couple years now (literally a couple, still in my 20&#39;s so I started in depth working with them when 2003 was going out of style and 2008 was becoming the standard).</p> <p>And I recently acquired some old HP Proliant Servers. I&#39;ve installed ESXi on them as par for the course. And want to set up a couple servers using only Linux.</p> <p>Now I could set up these all with one install of the included Windows Server 2008 that is assigned to the box, but I&#39;ve always wanted to learn more about Linux, just never really had the project to dive in and see what I can find out.</p> <p>So I&#39;ve spent tonight working through installing Ubuntu and Samba to set up a domain controller. So far it seems to be working, but I have 2 questions regarding this:</p> <p>1.) Was this the right choice? Or is there a better method now of replacing an Active Directory environment using Linux. I have been fallowing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf7Hk8qWt1Q">THIS</a> as my guide. 2.) In the video he talks about how you can assign the command /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba to run on startup so that on reboot the server should be good to go as soon as it&#39;s finished startup. How do I go about doing that in the best way possible.</p> <p>After I am finished with this one, I intend to set up a file server, the same YouTube channel has another video on setting one of those up, also using Samba, is there a better choice or is that good enough?</p> <p>And finally, the last server I intend to setup is a print server. Again same channel, also Samba. Same question. Good idea? Or are there better ways to go about this.</p> <p>Beyond that, I also want to know if installing the desktop GUI on servers is more of a headache then its worth. I am used to using a GUI in Windows servers, but there is no prebuild of Ubuntu Server that includes the GUI, does it get in the way of normal server operations? I&#39;m aware it would use more resources, but beyond that is there any reason not to for just a home setup built primarily to learn about the system?</p> <p>Thank you for any help and directions. Right now my primary question is how to get services to start on startup on their own.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/IGetThis"> IGetThis </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fhhlv/deciding_to_finally_learn_some_linux/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fhhlv/deciding_to_finally_learn_some_linux/">[7 comments]</a>

I have yet to try a lot of the distros listed in the comments (and maybe do a little research to learn some more, because I only have a very basic knowledge).

title: Anti-Web Blocking Site More Popular in the UK than Spotify & Skype
author: Andy
url: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Torrentfreak/~3/DvE0BQcs1h8/
feedurl: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/blocktpb1-150x150.jpg" alt="FCT ty" width="96" height="96" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-87047">For citizens of the UK, web blocking is becoming a hot topic. Aside from the large and growing list of torrent, streaming and other downloading sites currently blocked by ISPs, netizens are now facing the specter of government enforced porn barriers.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s according to Prime Minister David Cameron, who this week <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/curbing-access-to-pornographic-websites-for-under-18s">fired off a broadside</a> against adult content providers who he says are failing to control what other people&#8217;s children are viewing online.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our one nation government is working hard to make the internet a safer place for children, the next step in this campaign is to curb access to harmful pornographic content which is currently far too widely available,&#8221; the Prime Minister said. &#8220;I want to see age restrictions put into place or these websites will face being shut down.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the government the UK’s top 10 adult sites account for over half (52%) of all site views so this is no trivial matter. The site&#8217;s aren&#8217;t mentioned by name so TF decided to look them up.</p>
<p>The most popular within the UK&#8217;s top 200 most-visited sites according to Alexa are Pornhub (#41), XHamster (#44), Xvideos (#47), RedTube (#92), TubeCup (#105) and YouPorn (#122). To give an idea of scale, PornHub is more popular than Netflix and YouPorn is more visited than Vimeo.</p>
<p>However, while compiling this list we stumbled across something else that&#8217;s both surprising on one hand and utterly predictable on the other. Occupying the position of the UK&#8217;s 192nd most-visited site is <a href="https://unblocked.pw">Unblocked.pw</a>, a service entirely dedicated to unblocking blocked websites.</p>
<p>Breaking the top 200 is no mean feat for any site, especially when one considers the competition at that level. Nevertheless, after existing for much less than a year, Unblocked.pw is already more popular in the UK than both Spotify (#194) and Skype (#195).</p>
<p><center><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/unblocked.png" alt="unblocked" width="548" height="303" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-108851"></center></p>
<p>While the skill of the site&#8217;s operator is no doubt a factor in its success, the huge popularity of Unblocked.pw is almost entirely down to restrictions being put in place by UK Internet service providers. Every time a blockade is put in place, Unblocked.pw provides a solution to the problem. It currently unblocks most major torrent and streaming sites plus the specialist ebook archives <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/high-court-orders-uk-isps-to-block-ebook-sites-150527/">targeted in May</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fighting censorship has been the primary motivation behind running Unblocked,&#8221; the site&#8217;s operator informs TorrentFreak.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s to show that whatever regulators do to censor things online, there will always be a way around it.  The initial motivation came from when The Pirate Bay was blocked in the Netherlands.  We set up Proxybay.co to maintain a list of Pirate Bay proxy sites and show people how to create their own.&#8221;</p>
<p>In respect of porn sites, Cameron&#8217;s office suggests that users could be required to validate their ages with a credit card, but the operators of overseas &#8216;tube&#8217; sites will be extremely reluctant to introduce such measures since they will mess with their business models by reducing traffic and ad revenue.</p>
<p>That will leave web-blocking as Cameron&#8217;s only other option but as highlighted by the Open Rights Group, that won&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>&#8220;While the government can shut down UK-based sites, these are few in number and represent a tiny proportion of the global porn industry. Cameron needs to clarify how he wishes to achieve his goals, given that most porn sites are hosted abroad,&#8221; says ORG&#8217;s Jim Killock.</p>
<p>&#8220;To block them, the government would have to introduce a national firewall, which would censor sites for everyone, and would likely be widely circumvented.&#8221;</p>
<p>While there are currently no dedicated adult sites in Unblocked.pw&#8217;s repertoire (since none are currently blocked in the UK), there can be little doubt that if the UK government decides to order blockades, Unblocked and similar sites will quickly offer wordarounds.</p>
<p>If that does indeed transpire, expect a successful service to break the top 50 most-visited sites in the country while jockeying for rankings with the likes of Apple and WordPress. It&#8217;s a battle the government simply can&#8217;t win, but that won&#8217;t stop them from trying.</p>
<p>In the meantime the Internet continues to <a href="https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Gilmore">interpret censorship as damage</a>, and routes around it.</p>

title: Google Asked to Remove 18 ‘Pirate Links’ Every Second
author: Ernesto
url: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Torrentfreak/~3/anAXKWhrBOA/
feedurl: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/google-bay.jpg" alt="google-bay" width="200" height="177" class="alignright size-full wp-image-21875">In the hope of steering prospective customers away from pirate sites, copyright holders are overloading Google with DMCA takedown notices.</p>
<p>These requests have increased dramatically over the years. In 2008, the search engine received only a few dozen takedown notices during the entire year, but the same number is now reached in a matter of seconds.</p>
<p>At TF we processed the number of URLs submitted by copyright holders over the past month, which were roughly 47 million in total. Or put differently, Google is now being asked to remove well over 18 links to alleged copyright infringing material every second. </p>
<p>Just last week Google received a record breaking 12.5 million reported links in seven days, showing that the surge in notices is still ongoing.</p>
<p>The BPI and RIAA are among the most active senders of DMCA takedown requests. Together, the music groups have sent notices for 5.5 million URLs over the past month, which represents 12% of all requests.</p>
<p>Both groups are topped by takedown agencies Rivendell and Degban though, who are good for reporting 7.7 and 6.3 million URLs respectively. </p>
<p><center><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/googrecord.png" alt="googrecord" width="476" height="244" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108754"></center></p>
<p>Over the past month more than 2,600 copyright holders submitted takedown notices, targeting 77,514 separate domain names. The relatively unknown MP3 search engine myfreemp3.re tops the list with nearly a million removed pages, and several Pirate Bay related domains are also among the top targets. </p>
<p>The vast majority of the reported links have been removed, but the takedown notices also include duplicate or non-infringing URLs for which Google takes no action. </p>
<p>Despite the frequent use of the takedown process many copyright holders are not happy with Google&#8217;s take on the piracy problem. Groups such as the RIAA and MPAA have repeatedly stressed that the company should do more to prevent pirated content from showing up in the top search results.</p>
<p>Faced with this harsh criticism, Google has gradually altered its search algorithms. October last year the company <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/google-will-downrank-pirate-sites-starting-next-week-141018/">implemented</a> the most significant change yet, aimed at downranking sites that often link to copyright-infringing material.</p>
<p>Still, the major copyright holders remain far from pleased. They&#8217;ve urged Google to completely de-list infringing domains and boost the rankings of legitimate sites. Until that happens, it&#8217;s unlikely that we&#8217;ll see the number of reported links going down.</p>
<p>TF reached out to Google for a comment on the ever-increasing volume of takedown requests and how the company is able to cope with the surge, but at the time of publication we haven&#8217;t heard back. </p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi <a href="/r/linux">r/linux</a>,</p> <p>I have an HP Mini 10 which I use for a media player (ArchLinux with Kodi in standalone mode which is connected to my TV, soon to be replaced with Raspberry PI 2). I would like to have the ability to launch other applications as well (Firefox, Skype, etc).</p> <p>I am looking for options on how to implement this. One of the options that I thought of is to install a lightweight window manager like Openbox (or i3) and place icons on the desktop and hide panels, tray area, whatever. From what I&#39;ve read neither i3 nor Openbox support desktop icons out of the box and I will have to install something (file manager?) else also. The applications should always start maximized, but I think Openbox has a config for this and i3 launches maximized anyway.</p> <p>Has anyone achieved something similar? Can it be done without installing a ton of software? I will greatly appreciate if you share your thoughts on this. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/vstanchev"> vstanchev </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fikez/looking_for_a_standalone_application_launcher_for/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fikez/looking_for_a_standalone_application_launcher_for/">[1 comment]</a>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Link to the original post - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/3fii4j/update_samsungs_recent_850_trim_troubles_and/">https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/3fii4j/update_samsungs_recent_850_trim_troubles_and/</a></p> <p>In a recent highly upvoted and therefore visible post on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/3a58s0/dont_use_linux_on_samsung_ssds/">r/buildapc</a>, it was reported that Samsung&#39;s 850 series SSD&#39;s were having an issue where data was erroneously deleted by the TRIM command. This could result in a loss of your most precious data. If the issue proved to be Samsung&#39;s fault, then it would be a huge problem, the likes of which would dwarf the performance issues with the 840 series. It&#39;d be a serious black mark against Samsung that would quite rightly make a lot of people think twice about ever buying an SSD form Samsung.</p> <p>Given the recent issues with the 840 series, many users were quick to blame Samsung. I myself ended up not buying an 850 EVO due to not having the time to wait for the whole affair to play out before the system I was building was put into production.</p> <p>As is often the way though with issues like this, the final act of the whole affair often goes unreported or at the very least, doesn&#39;t get the kind of coverage it should. Well, Algolia, the company who discovered the issue, have updated their <a href="https://blog.algolia.com/when-solid-state-drives-are-not-that-solid/">blog post on the matter</a>. I think it&#39;s only fair that some of the potential damage or misconceptions created by the Algolia themselves and (around these parts) the reddit post linked above, is undone. </p> <p>TL;DR The issue has been proven conclusively to be with the Linux Kernel. It&#39;s not the fault of Samsung. Samsung have developed a patch that acts as a work around for the root cause and submitted it but the Kernel dev is working to fix the root cause. </p> <p>PSA: If you use an SSD in Linux, you may need to install a Kernel patch to avoid data loss. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/TUBBB"> TUBBB </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fikfh/update_samsungs_recent_850_trim_troubles_and/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fikfh/update_samsungs_recent_850_trim_troubles_and/">[25 comments]</a>

title: Copying And Sharing Was Always A Natural Right; Restricting Copying Never Was
author: Rick Falkvinge
url: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Torrentfreak/~3/kTnzogIKcbA/
feedurl: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/sharing-caring.jpg" alt="sharing-caring" width="250" height="144" class="alignright size-full wp-image-60135">Political scientists have this concept called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_and_legal_rights">&#8220;natural rights&#8221;</a>. It&#8217;s a right you have innately, even if there is no law enforcement or indeed any government. Such rights include the right to think freely, the right to use your senses, the right to speak your mind, and the right to hold property (starting with your own body).</p>
<p>In contrast, laws that restrict such rights cannot exist without a government to enforce such laws. This is crucial to understanding what can be considered a starting point for society; if you have a blank slate, what laws and rights exist before you&#8217;ve put the first ink to paper.</p>
<p>The copyright industry tries repeatedly to portray itself as in the moral right from a high horse, when advocating restrictions to copying and sharing. That&#8217;s not just wrong, it&#8217;s also blatantly dishonest and false, and knowingly so. The copyright monopoly is a protectionist mechanism, a remnant from before the free-enterprise reform of the mid-1800s, that has no place in a society built on creativity and innovation. The monopoly is not just destructive and wrong, but also <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/06/from-gigabytes-to-petadollars-copyright-math-begets-copyright-currency/">draconian</a> and arbitrary.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s examine how natural rights come into play when sharing knowledge and culture.</p>
<p>To create a bitstream of a file, say Gameofthrones.s05e10.1080p.WOOT.mkv, we observe that this file exists somewhere. We use our own senses, and technology extensions to our own senses using our own property (a computer, a router, network cables, etc.), to observe the existence of this stream, and the bitpattern that makes up particular stream. After observing what the bitpattern looks like, we rearrange our own property &#8211; magnetic fields on our hard drive &#8211; to match what we are observing with our senses.</p>
<p><strong>From a natural rights perspective, this is identical to a painter using their property &#8211; paint, brushes, bristles &#8211; to record onto a canvas what they&#8217;re seeing with their eyes. It&#8217;s not just perfectly fine, it&#8217;s completely expected behavior.</strong></p>
<p>Now, it may be that exercising natural rights in this case interferes with dreamed-up business models by the copyright industry. But natural rights don&#8217;t take a back seat to somebody&#8217;s imaginary right to profit. They&#8217;re on a different level altogether. While there are laws that limit natural rights, they are generally seen as hideously immoral and to be practiced with enormous restraint.</p>
<p>However, the conclusion here is that copying is the natural state, a mere exercise of natural rights, and restriction of such copying is an arbitrary and draconian intrusion into natural rights, an anachronistic remnant from the pre-free-enterprise era which has no place in the age of the Internet.</p>
<p>Finally, I said that the copyright industry is &#8220;knowingly&#8221; deceptive on this point. By that, I am referring to the fact that they keep reiterating that people who are exercising their natural rights are &#8220;stealing&#8221;, despite the U.S. Supreme Court clearly having ruled <a href="http://falkvinge.net/2013/12/23/reminder-1-copyright-monopoly-infringement-isnt-stealing-says-the-us-supreme-court/">the opposite</a>, which they are well aware of, and also that the copyright industry has been <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-banned-from-using-piracy-and-theft-terms-in-hotfile-trial-131129/">explicitly banned</a> by court from using such deceptive and disingenuous language.</p>

<p>Requests have come from the Municipality of <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogliasco" class="extiw" title="w:Bogliasco">Bogliasco</a></span>, next to <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genova" class="extiw" title="w:Genova">Genova</a></span>, and from the deputies of <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Star_Movement" class="extiw" title="w:Five Star Movement">Movimento 5 Stelle</a></span> (M5S) of the regional counsel of <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombardy" class="extiw" title="w:Lombardy">Lombardy</a></span>. The first case is of the mayor Luca Pastorino that in last years received several refusals of his requests for payment because of the religious nursery school and retirement home. In the second case, the M5S party asks to the regional government to assure the local administrations of the region regularly apply the sentence of the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>The case on which the Court has ruled was of the religious schools <i>Santo Spirito</i> and <i>Immacolata</i> in Livorno, <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuscany" class="extiw" title="w:Tuscany">Tuscany</a></span>, to pay over 422,000 <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/euro" class="extiw" title="w:euro">euros</a></span> in arrears for the period from 2004 to 2009. The request was advanced by the Municipality of Livorno in 2010.</p>
<p>The city reasoned, "because the users of the private schools pay a frequency fee, this kind of activity is considered as a commercial one"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: poiché gli utenti della scuola paritaria pagano un corrispettivo per la frequenza, tale attività è di carattere commerciale">((it))</span></a></sup>.</p>
<p>In 2014 the Italian municipal tax discipline has changed from the ICI system to the IMU system by the <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Monti" class="extiw" title="w:Mario Monti">Monti</a></span> government. A <i>mean cost per student</i> criterion is used to tax only the schools that receive a fee higher than the mean cost per student fixed by the State. The new law is not retroactive, so the taxes requested in arrears from 2006 to 2009 are under the ICI system.</p>
<p>Minister of Education <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefania_Giannini" class="extiw" title="w:Stefania Giannini">Stefania Giannini</a></span> said a "more general reflection"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: riflessione più generale">((it))</span></a></sup> is needed. Claudio De Vincenti, undersecretary to the prime minister, said "a discussion table will be opened with the non-profit associations, religious association included"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: apriremo quindi un tavolo di confronto con le organizzazioni non profit, comprese quelle religiose">((it))</span></a></sup>.</p>
<p>Undersecretary for Education Mr. Toccafondi says "many schools will increase their fees or they will quit. Then the State will have to find new resources to build new structures and manage them"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: Molti istituti aumenteranno le rette o chiuderanno. Così lo Stato dovrà trovare nuove risorse per costruire nuove strutture e gestirle">((it))</span></a></sup>.</p>
<p>Also the president of the Lombardy region, <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Maroni" class="extiw" title="w:Roberto Maroni">Roberto Maroni</a></span>, has reacted by proposing some regional counter-measures to finance private schools.</p>
<p>The secretary general of CEI (<span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Episcopal_Conference" class="extiw" title="w:Italian Episcopal Conference">Italian Episcopal Conference</a></span>), <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunzio_Galantino" class="extiw" title="w:Nunzio Galantino">Nunzio Galantino</a></span>, has called the sentence "dangerous"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: pericolosa">((it))</span></a></sup> and "ideological"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: &quot;ideologica">((it))</span></a></sup>: "We face a dangerous sentence. Who takes the decisions, do it with less ideology. Because I have the clear sensation that with this way of thinking, they wait the praise of some <i>ideologized</i> supporters. Indeed, they don't understand what kind of good service private schools held"<sup><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language" class="extiw" title="w:Italian language"><span title="it: Siamo davanti a una sentenza pericolosa. Chi prende decisioni, lo faccia con meno ideologia. Perché ho la netta sensazione che con questo modo di pensare, si aspetti l'applauso di qualche parte ideologizzata. Il fatto è che non ci si sta rendendo conto del servizio che svolgono le scuole pubbliche paritarie">((it))</span></a></sup>.</p>
<p>Italian secularist associations are concerned the Government will modify the law in order to maintain an exception for religious schools. The secularist magazine <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroMega" class="extiw" title="w:MicroMega">MicroMega</a></span> describe the court's judgement as <i>historic</i>.</p>
<p>The <span class="interwiki-link-foreign"><a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Rationalist_Atheists_and_Agnostics" class="extiw" title="w:Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics">Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics</a></span> (UAAR) has launched a petition which now has more than 11,000 signatures, asking the government to respect and execute the sentence of the Supreme Court. It is also encouraging citizens to ask for application of the law in their local municipalities.</p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello, my name is Tyler and I&#39;m an 18 year old male. I&#39;ve got quite the plight that I&#39;d like to address to you all. Ever since I was little I&#39;ve been fascinated with technology, although due to ordinary childhood routines imposed from parents trying to limit technological use, I&#39;ve never quite been able to extend past playing video games. When I was 13, I started learning to script(watered down watered down programming) using lua, on a childrens development platform called ROBLOX. I stayed with them until I was 17, until I finally started to push out to C++ and Java. And this is where my depression comes from. I&#39;ve but little knowledge in technology, software or hardware, but as I grow to learn a little bit more of it I do know that it is my dream. I have the silly childhood aspirations of becoming an expert in cyber security, or white hat hacking. But I fear I started far too late. I hear tales of experts in their fields, the best at what they do. And they all seem to start with a childhood prodigy, leaving all in awe and being destined for something big. Not some inattentive fool who started when he was 17. I don&#39;t want to become exceptional for the sake of vanity. I could always care less what others believe of me. But I always have wanted to change the world. To put meaning into my life and help lives of others. And this cancerous thought that it&#39;s too late to do that just continues to eat at me. I&#39;d love any help from you credible people. Thanks : ). Technology is where I&#39;m meant to be. I just don&#39;t know if it&#39;s where I&#39;m supposed to be anymore. I&#39;ve got no other aspirations or hobbies. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/tyridge77"> tyridge77 </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3fl4a9/is_it_too_late_to_become_successful_in_technology/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3fl4a9/is_it_too_late_to_become_successful_in_technology/">[21 comments]</a>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I&#39;ve been a Windows guy all my life, but now that I have a dedicated desktop for gaming, I&#39;m wondering whether it might be a good idea to put Linux on my laptop. I&#39;m not keen on the idea of loading multiple operating systems on one machine.</p> <p>As a Computer Science student, I&#39;m working mainly with Python and JavaScript for the time being. Will it be relatively straightforward to work with my Windows/OS X-using peers on projects? As someone who intends to go into software development, what can Linux do for me that Windows cannot? Do I need Windows to learn C#?</p> <p>I&#39;ve been seeing mixed reviews on Windows 10. Word of key-loggers and other privacy concerns have been prevalent in the last few weeks. I usually just tell myself &quot;if I have nothing to hide, then why worry?&quot; But as I&#39;ve learn more about network security, I&#39;ve naturally become more aware of the ways my system can be &quot;hacked.&quot;</p> <p>Will wrestling with the Window 10 security issues be a good exercise for me? Or would Linux provide a more stable and open-source experience for a budding programmer? Since most of the professional world uses Windows, would I be better served by continuing to practice on Microsoft&#39;s OS?</p> <p>Your guidance is appreciated!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/Syncoda"> Syncoda </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fjsii/windows_10_or_linux_for_a_comp_sci_student/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fjsii/windows_10_or_linux_for_a_comp_sci_student/">[65 comments]</a>

title: The Pirate Bay Will Be Blocked in Austria
author: Ernesto

content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/pirate-bay.jpg" alt="pirate bay" width="200" height="207" class="alignright size-full wp-image-53470">As the bastion of online piracy, The Pirate Bay has become one of the most censored websites on the Internet in recent years.</p>
<p>Courts all around the world have ordered Internet providers to block subscriber access to the torrent site and the list continues to expand.</p>
<p>The latest blocking order was issued right before the weekend in Austria. Following a complaint from copyright holders the Commercial Court of Vienna ordered local ISP A1 Telekom to <a href="http://www.ifpi.at/?section=news&#038;id=202">block</a> subscribers access to The Pirate Bay. </p>
<p>In addition to the notorious torrent site, the court order also requires the Internet provider to block three other &#8220;structurally infringing&#8221; sites; Isohunt.to, 1337x.to and h33t.to.</p>
<p>The court allows the ISP to choose how to implement the blockade on a technical level but it is likely to involve DNS-blocking, an IP-address blacklist or a combination of both. </p>
<p>If A1 Telekom chooses a DNS blockade then users can easily circumvent the measures by using a non-ISP DNS server. A combination of a DNS and IP-address block is generally more effective, but with the wide availability of proxy sites and VPN services that&#8217;s not airtight either.</p>
<p>Franz Medwenitsch, managing director of the Austrian music industry association IFPI, welcomes the court order and notes that they are happy to assist with the implementation of the blockades.</p>
<p>&#8220;For the further development of the online music market it is a very gratifying decision. We call on the Internet providers to work together towards a legally compliant and straightforward implementation of site-blocking,&#8221; Medwenitsch says.</p>
<p>The current court order follows hot on the heels of another major blocking case in Austria, which came to an end last month. </p>
<p>After a round of appeals the Supreme Court <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/major-streaming-sites-must-be-blocked-court-rules-150704/">ordered</a> several leading Austrian ISPs to block the major streaming sites Movie4K.to and Kinox.to. The Court further rules that the Internet providers will have to pay the costs for future blockades.</p>
<p>Given the recent successes, it wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise if more blocking requests will follow during the months to come.</p>

title: India’s Porn Block Targets Torrent Sites, CollegeHumor and 9Gag
author: Ernesto
url: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Torrentfreak/~3/6OKsFRI1EOM/
feedurl: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/stop-blocked.jpg" alt="stop-blocked" width="200" height="168" class="alignright size-full wp-image-72076">This weekend millions of Indian Internet users started to notice that their favorite websites were no longer accessible. </p>
<p>On Friday the Government ordered local Internet providers to block access to a list of 857 websites, including many of the top porn sites. </p>
<p>&#8220;Your requested URL has been blocked as per the directions received from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India,&#8221; was the warning many got to see instead. </p>
<p>The move has sparked outrage among the public, who condemn the Government for censoring the Internet without proper cause. According to the <a href="http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2190269/2015-07-31-dot-block-order-decency.pdf">court order</a> the sites are being blocked because they threaten the morality and decency of Indians, which a local official has now confirmed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Free and open access to porn websites has been brought under check. We don&#8217;t want them to become a social nuisance,&#8221; a spokesman at the Department of Telecommunications told Reuters.</p>
<p>The Government order is quite broad, and not just because of the high number of domain names involved. A <a href="http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2190269/2015-07-31-dot-block-order-decency.pdf">leaked copy</a> which list all of the affected domains reveals some unsuspected entries.</p>
<p>For example, the list contains two of the largest torrent sites, Kickass.to and H33t.to. The first is now operating under the new Kat.cr domain name and the latter site is down, so the effects of the blockade are minimal. </p>
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/blockedcollege.png" alt="blockedcollege" width="266" height="101" class="alignright size-full wp-image-108929">While blocking these torrent sites may be justified as both sites do link to pornographic content, the same can&#8217;t really be said for CollegeHumor and 9Gag, which are also on the blacklist. </p>
<p>The same goes for Liveleak, which has plenty of &#8216;immoral&#8217; videos but isn&#8217;t really known for its vast amounts of porn. Finally, the list also includes <a href="http://nonvegjokes.com/">nonvegjokes.com</a>, a site specializing in dirty jokes.</p>
<p>The blocking order was issued under Rule 12 of the local Information Technology Rules, which allows the Government to block access to sites that are deemed to violate the integrity or security of India. </p>
<p>The Government still has to justify its blocking request before the <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/porn-block-in-india-hundreds-of-sexual-websites-banned-internet-outraged-10434499.html">end of the month</a>. If those arguments prove insufficient, the court order may be overturned again. In the meantime, the interest in circumvention tools such as <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/anonymous-vpn-service-provider-review-2015-150228/">VPN services</a> and proxy sites is expected to skyrocket.</p>
<p><strong>Update August 5:</strong> The porn block has been <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/world/india-reverses-ban-on-internet-porn-after-public-outrage-ridicule-20150804-giroi8.html">lifted already</a>. </p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Later this month I&#39;ll be setting up a Linux box for somebody that intends to use it solely for online banking. Primary reason being they have access to online banking accounts of their clients (for accounting purposes) and want a more secure alternative for that. They will continue to use their Windows box for most tasks but want to move online banking to a Linux box. (I brought up the option, but they aren&#39;t ready to move more tasks to Linux yet.)</p> <p>The person I&#39;m doing this for isn&#39;t technical but is more informed than average users about the risks associated with using Windows, and they have had a few scares with malware and phishing in the past.</p> <p>Here&#39;s what I&#39;m thinking of doing now:</p> <ul> <li><p>Debian Jessie using unattended-upgrades to daily apply security upgrades. I&#39;ll handle other upgrades manually about once a month on-site. Install with full disk encryption.</p></li> <li><p>Iceweasel (Firefox ESR) set up as the primary web browser, without Adobe Flash. Either Chromium + PepperFlash-nonfree or Google Chrome installed as a secondary web browser for those banking websites that require Flash. Doing it this way as Firefox doesn&#39;t sandbox Flash on Linux (even with FreshPlayerPlugin) while Chromium and Google Chrome do.</p></li> <li><p>Use <a href="https://l3net.wordpress.com/projects/firejail/">firejail</a> to provide a security sandbox for each web browser. I&#39;ll be using version 0.9.28 that is currently still in RC. I&#39;ll edit the default profiles for above applications to add &quot;nogroups&quot;, &quot;private-dev&quot;, and &quot;shell=/bin/dash&quot; options. This strips supplementary groups from the user, provides a private /dev with just a few devices, and instead of bash uses dash. This is in addition to the default sandbox that has a filesystem chroot consisting of current directories mounted read-only except /{home,tmp,var}, runs without the root user, has new PID and IPC namespaces, has all Linux capabilities dropped, has a default seccomp filter and blacklist, and blacklists some system binaries (e.g., mount) and some user directories (e.g., ~/.ssh). I&#39;ll probably add entries to the latter two lists.</p></li> <li><p>I&#39;ll add a few extensions to the web browsers, things like uBlock Origin. I&#39;ve considered NoScript but that requires upkeep as even with small websites changes you may have to reconfigure whitelists (has been my experience a longer time ago when I used it). This isn&#39;t something the person that will be using this computer is comfortable with, and isn&#39;t something that could reasonably be delayed till I next visit.</p></li> <li><p>KeePassX or similar to store passwords.</p></li> <li><p>I will have to set up a Windows share and will set up an on-demand mount for that on Linux. I may also have to set up a connection to a network attached HP printer. </p></li> <li><p>I&#39;ll provide the person that will be using the computer with a non-admin account (locked down further with firejail as default shell) and will set up a admin account for myself to do monthly or so manual maintenance. No remote access.</p></li> </ul> <p>I would have liked to use something like grsecurity but, aside from Alpine Linux which I have no experience with, I couldn&#39;t find a distro with a well supported grsecurity kernel. It is possible to use grsecurity on Debian but it requires kernel compilation. Again, not something the person that will be using this computer would be comfortable with and I&#39;d prefer the Debian kernel team to handle timely security upgrades to the kernel ;-)</p> <p>I&#39;ve also seriously considered CentOS but I&#39;m not experienced with that, hence I lean towards a Debian (based) distro. Given the limited tasks this Linux box will be used for I&#39;m thinking SELinux might not add much above using firejail? From what I understand CentOS 7 (EOL 2024) has a support period about 4 years longer than Debian 8 (EOL 2020) and would upgrade packages to newer upstream releases during the support period as well (something Debian doesn&#39;t do).</p> <p>I&#39;m interested in feedback and other ideas. How would you secure a Linux box to be used for online banking? </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="http://www.reddit.com/user/bubblyjuggly"> bubblyjuggly </a> <br/> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fn2pl/looking_for_recommendations_to_secure_a_linux_box/">[link]</a> <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3fn2pl/looking_for_recommendations_to_secure_a_linux_box/">[22 comments]</a>

title: Popcorn Time Vulnerable to Hack Attacks, Researcher Says
author: Andy
url: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Torrentfreak/~3/3lUDnkbykL8/
feedurl: https://feeds.feedburner.com/Torrentfreak
content:
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/popcornt.png" alt="popcornt" width="237" height="106" class="alignright size-full wp-image-101106">Almost 18 months since it burst onto the scene in 2014 and Popcorn Time is still one of the most popular file-sharing applications on the market.</p>
<p>Millions of people use multiple variants of the Netflix-style tool everyday, with ease of use and wide content availability proving a hit with users old and new.</p>
<p>Popcorn Time&#8217;s success has also made it a target for anti-piracy companies desperate to shut it down, but today the software finds itself under attack of a different kind.</p>
<p>Antonios Chariton, aka &#8216;DaKnOb&#8217;, describes himself as a Security Engineer &#038; Researcher. Currently in Greece studying for his B.Sc. in Computer Science, Chariton informs TorrentFreak that he&#8217;s discovered some serious security vulnerabilities in at least one fork of Popcorn Time.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are two reasons that made me look into Popcorn Time. First of all, I know many people who have installed this application on their personal computers and use it, and second of all, by pure accident: I was setting up my computer firewall when I noticed the network traffic initiated by Popcorn Time,&#8221; Chariton says.</p>
<p>The researcher says that the problems begin with &#8220;a really smart&#8221; technique that Popcorn Time uses to bypass ISP-level blocking in the UK. By utilizing Cloudflare infrastructure for part of its setup, it&#8217;s difficult to block Popcorn Time by DNS without banning the Cloudflare website, Chariton notes.</p>
<p>But cleverness aside, this is where the problems begin.</p>
<p>&#8220;First of all, the request to Cloudflare is initiated over plain HTTP. That means both the request and the response can be changed by someone with a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack">Man In The Middle</a> position (Local Attacker, Network Administrator, ISP, Government, etc.),&#8221; Chariton explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;The second mistake is that there is no <a href="http://www.esecurityplanet.com/browser-security/prevent-web-attacks-using-input-sanitization.html">input sanitization</a> whatsoever. That means, there are no checks in place to ensure the validity of the data received. The third mistake is that they make the previous two mistakes in a NodeJS application.&#8221;</p>
<p>As shown in the image below, <a href="https://blog.daknob.net/grab-some-popcorn-and-launch-popcorn-time">Chariton</a> says he was able to perform a &#8220;content spoofing&#8221; attack, in which he gave the movie Hot Pursuit the title of &#8220;Hello World&#8221; instead. </p>
<p><center><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/pop-hack1.png" alt="pop-hack1" width="650" height="384" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-108887"></center></p>
<p>The researcher says that while he could&#8217;ve changed any other information in the Popcorm Time application, that wouldn&#8217;t be &#8220;exactly much fun&#8221;. So, to get pulses racing, he launched an XSS attack instead.</p>
<p>As shown in the image below, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting">Cross-Site Scripting</a> (XSS) attacks allow for potentially malicious scripts to be injected into other web applications.</p>
<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/pop-hack2.png" alt="pop-hack2" width="650" height="379" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-108889"></p>
<p>&#8220;We have injected malicious JavaScript and the client application executed the code. Using this attack we can show fake messages or even do something smarter. Since the application is written in NodeJS, if you find an XSS vulnerability, you are able to control the entire application,&#8221; Chariton explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;This essentially is Remote Code Execution on the computer that runs Popcorn Time. You can do anything the computer user could do.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s obviously a pretty serious issue but Chariton does have some advice for the developers.</p>
<p>&#8220;HTTP is insecure. There&#8217;s nothing you can do to change this. Please, use HTTPS everywhere, especially in applications that don&#8217;t run inside a web browser. Second, sanitize your input. Even if you receive something over TLS v1.2 using a Client Certificate, it still isn&#8217;t secure! Always perform client-side checks of the server response,&#8221; he notes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last but not least, just because something is Open Source doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s audited and secure. Discovering and exploiting this vulnerability was literally one hour of work, including the time to write all the JavaScript payloads and come up with cool stuff to do,&#8221; Chariton concludes.</p>
<p>Making the situation more complex is the number of Popcorn Time forks in circulation. Chariton told us that he carried out his tests on the variant available at PopcornTime.io but it&#8217;s certainly possible that the same issues exist elsewhere on lesser-used forks.</p>
<p>That being said, the developers behind the variant available at Popcorn-Time.se inform TorrentFreak that their version isn&#8217;t vulnerable to these exploits.</p>
<p>&#8220;These security issues don&#8217;t refer to Popcorn-time.se since we built Popcorn Time from scratch in C++,&#8221; the devs explain.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t use Node Webkit which is known for having security issues, but chose the longer route of building our platform on our own from the ground up to avoid just these kind of issues.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chariton has raised the issue <a href="https://git.popcorntime.io/popcorntime/desktop/issues/1472">here</a> and it&#8217;s currently under discussion.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Popcorntime.io have now responded.</p>
<p>&#8220;This attack requires that the attacker is either inside the local network, inside the host machine, or has poisoned the DNS servers,&#8221; the team explain.</p>
<p>&#8220;In any case, there are far more valuable attacks than simply hitting Popcorn Time. Especially because it does not run with elevated privileges and won&#8217;t let the attacker install new programs for example.&#8221;</p>

title: Pirate Site Blocking Delay Shows Lack of Urgency, Critics Say
author: Andy

<p><img src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/stopstop.jpg" width="180" height="120" class="alignright">When entertainment industry groups speak publicly of the piracy situation, the rhetoric suggests that the sky is falling, that the very future of the business is at risk if something isn&#8217;t done quickly.</p>
<p>In truth it&#8217;s been that way for more than 30 years but that doesn&#8217;t stop successive governments in countries around the globe taking the threats seriously. And considering the size of the entertainment industries and the influence of those running them, it&#8217;s not difficult to see why.</p>
<p>In Australia, calls to do something about the <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/illegal-downloading-is-scumbag-theft-by-copyright-bandits-says-media-giant-ceo-120821/">&#8220;scumbag theft&#8221; carried out by &#8220;copyright bandits&#8221;</a> have escalated to almost fever pitch in recent years, with 2014 seeing the most concerted effort yet to crack down on file-sharers and the sites they use.</p>
<p>In response, Attorney-General George Brandis and Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull asked the Cabinet to develop legislation which would allow ‘pirate’ sites to be blocked by ISPs. In March 2015 the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill 2015 was introduced and after just three months of consideration by parliament, the legislation was <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/australia-passes-pirate-site-blocking-law-150622/">passed into law</a>.</p>
<p>Considering the demands for dramatic and urgent action, one might think that rightsholders would be already queuing up to have the first sites blocked. But according to a report from <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-08-04/foxtel-launches-legal-case-to-block-piracy-websites/6670780">ABC</a>, that point is still a long way off.</p>
<p>While it appears that pay TV company Foxtel will be the pioneer of the very first legal case under the new legislation (probably against a big player such as The Pirate Bay), the timescale for implementation being quoted by the company is not a matter of weeks, but loosely described as arriving &#8220;in the coming months&#8221;.</p>
<p>The fact that Foxtel is still at the &#8220;legal advice&#8221; stage on &#8220;how best to put the legislation into effect&#8221; has upset critics, who believe that rightsholders may have overstated the need for urgent new laws.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are astounded, given the urgency with which this law was passed at the urging of the rights holders, that so far they haven&#8217;t bothered to use it,&#8221; says Internet Australia CEO Laurie Patton.</p>
<p>&#8220;We would have thought that they&#8217;d have a raft of cases ready to go if the problem is that critical.&#8221;</p>
<p>While six weeks might appear to be a reasonable amount of time to put a case together (the legislation was passed June 26), it&#8217;s worth bearing in mind that the first blocking cases to be brought in any region have always been the most important. Their implications stretch far beyond blocking a single site.</p>
<p>Although each case will be different to some extent, the first case &#8211; if presented correctly &#8211; will provide a template for subsequent cases, saving rightsholders (and the courts) lots of time and money in the long run. Getting the system running smoothly from the start will be a key priority so it&#8217;s no surprise that Foxtel aren&#8217;t already waiting at the doors of the court.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, there are plenty of things to be done and according to John Stanton from the Communications Alliance, Australia&#8217;s ISPs still haven&#8217;t been consulted on the basics of what will need to be done following any injunction.</p>
<p>&#8220;ISPs hope that if applications are to be lodged, rights holders will discuss them in advance with ISPs, to provide an opportunity for some shared understanding on logistical and other issues,&#8221; Stanton says.</p>
<p>&#8220;These issues including timing, the provision by rights holders of a landing page to inform internet users why a website has been blocked, discussion of the various technical options for website blocking and the planned breadth of an application.&#8221;</p>
<p>Considering the importance of ISPs to the success of site-blocking, not having included or consulted them thus far is somewhat of a mystery and perhaps indicative of how far from presenting its first case Foxtel is.</p>
<p>Still, with years of training behind them in respect of geo-unblocking services such as Netflix, it could very well be that the introduction of the first site blockade will have a minimum of impact on Aussies anyway &#8211; whether it arrives in the next few weeks or in distant months.</p>

title: German Court Will Issue Pirate Site Blocking Decision in November

<p><img src="http://torrentfreak.com/images/stop-blocked.jpg" alt="stop-blocked" width="200" height="168" class="alignright size-full wp-image-72076">With the phenomenon spreading around the world, the blocking of &#8216;pirate&#8217; websites is emerging as a key anti-piracy strategy of the entertainment industries. </p>
<p>Europe has been a key battleground for the movement and if rightsholders have their way, yet another new regional country will implement blocks soon.</p>
<p>The current action involves German performance rights organization GEMA. Known for its aggressive anti-piracy stance, GEMA&#8217;s case dates back seven years when it found music tracks on major file-hosting sites (Rapidshare, Netload, Uploaded) being distributed via a links site known as 3DL.am. Since it couldn&#8217;t contact 3DL&#8217;s operators to deal with the infringement, GEMA expanded its fight elsewhere.</p>
<p>In a subsequent complaint, GEMA demanded that in order to reduce further copyright infringement, leading German ISP Deutsche Telekom should take technical steps to stop its customers from accessing 3DL.am.</p>
<p>The ISP refused, stating that as a mere &#8216;dumb pipe&#8217; it has nothing to do with the infringement on the site. Furthermore, blocking one site would simply lead to increasing numbers of similar demands, the ISP argued.</p>
<p>In 2013 the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg rejected GEMA&#8217;s case on the basis that Deutsche Telekom is not the direct host of 3DL.am (now 3DL.tv). A subsequent appeal was also dismissed. However, persistence from the rights organization means that the case is now being heard by Germany&#8217;s Supreme Court.</p>
<p>Oliver Süme from Eco.de, the Association of the German Internet Industry, <a href="http://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/webwelt/article144652893/Muessen-Internetanbieter-illegale-Seiten-sperren.html">believes</a> that GEMA&#8217;s efforts are destined to fail.</p>
<p>&#8220;The legal situation thus far is that [consumer ISPs] are not liable for infringements on the Internet. It is therefore pointless to impose on the providers the role of an auxiliary police force,&#8221; Süme says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Furthermore, the required technical measures to control and filter the traffic of Internet users violates telecommunications secrecy and data protection laws that we have fought in favor of for years.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Supreme Court says that a decision on the case will be handed down in November. In the meantime, 3DL continues business as normal.</p>
