P2P Banned In Antarctica?
,----[ Quote ]
| We know that there's been an ongoing effort by entertainment industry
| lobbyists to convince politicians (and others) that file sharing and P2P apps
| are somehow to blame for stupid government staffers accidentally leaking
| files via those programs. Apparently the propaganda campaign has worked in at
| least one area: employees of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) were
| sent an alert that they need to stop using all P2P programs.

Of Mephistopheles and Poodles
,----[ Quote ]
| I was always under the impression that Lord Mandelson was dark, Machiavellian
| and very sharp; apparently not:
|
| Lord Mandelson launched a crackdown on internet piracy just days after
| meeting a leading Hollywood critic of illegal file sharing.

The Pain in Spain Falls Mainly in the Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| in January 2010, Spain will take over the Presidency of the European
| Community. Spanish Government has already announced that one of their
| flagships will be reinforcing the control of the Internet and
| criminalizing the sharing culture in the digital environment. The
| consequences of those decisions will be noticed in the rest of the world.
|
| This is the first I've heard of this: bad news if true. Anyone have any more
| details?

,----[ Quote ]
| Compared to other ISPs in the UK, this direct action against illegal
| file-sharing is surprisingly severe.
