Author Neil Gaiman said in an interview this week that the media industry is trying to "put genies back in bottles" with laws like SOPA and PIPA, and the Internet has fundamentally changed the landscape, just as Gutenberg's invention of the printing press did.
While last week's shutdown of MegaUpload is of huge interest in itself, but a wave of aftershocks and side-effects are proving equally fascinating to watch. In addition to causing all sorts of problems for legitimate users of file-sharing services, there is no avoiding the fact that certain elements of the piracy scene are in a mess. But amazingly, still the beat goes on.
It’s not always clear how Facebook apps interact with the data you share. Here are some things to check before connecting your accounts.
There can be no confusion: unmitigated piracy and chronic file-sharing is as morally wrong and damaging as unfettered corporate capitalism. Bill Maher was excoriated on the Internet last week for calling SOPA detractors moochers who wanted the right to steal. His panel filled him in on all the nasty restrictive side-effects of the bill, but the point stands. Filmmakers, musicians, authors, all artists deserve to be compensated for their work as much as a chef or a mechanic or a barber does. People seem to think just because they’ve been screwed over by a bunk system for years that they’re
Whether it’s a tweet or a photo, new legislation will give EU citizens the
right to remove what was previously public on the internet. Matt Warman says
it’s meaningless for the modern web.
The theft of smartphones is rising and thieves have been turning in stolen iPhones for replacements. If the warranty is still good, the support centers just swap out the iPhone with no questions asked. This is making it easy for thieves to “launder” the stolen iPhone.

People familiar with the matter say that Facebook could file for its initial public offering as soon as next week, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. The source also says that Facebook is close to picking Morgan Stanley as the lead underwriter. The filing could happen next Wednesday, and the company is aiming for a $75-$100 billion valuation. It is looking to raise $10 billion in stock. Facebook started in 2004 as a college-only social network. It opened to the public in September 2006, dropping the minimum age requirement from 18-years-old to 13-years-old. In little over seven years,...
The ACTA awareness and debate has finally heated up. But in such a huge, convoluted and deliberately complex document, how can you determine for yourself whether it’s good or bad? It turns out that there’s a very straightforward way to tell.
The easiest way to determine the nature of ACTA comes not from the document itself, but from the behavior of the people advocating it.
Everybody involved in pushing and rushing through this agreement have insisted that it will mean no changes at all, won’t require any changes to law (or possibly minimal ones to trademark law, as in Sweden), and overa

In a recent interview, Harvard Professor Yochai Benkler raises some serious concerns surrounding the MegaUpload bust.
One question raised by the professor, which may not have been entertained by many prior to the wide public opposition to SOPA, is of whether the lobbyist companies currently reaping the benefits of increasingly harsher copyright enforcement confer a strong moral cause for government interference of free market innovation. When a Harvard Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies raises these concerns, perhaps it is time we stop and consider this.

An opinion piece I published on ERR, the Estonian Public Broadcaster, exposes the content industry’s lobbying activities there. The lobbying is led by the (non governmental) American Chamber of Commerce in Estonia (AmCham in short).
The piece debunks several false claims that are often made by the content industry and have been repeated by AmCham in Estonia.
For instance the claim that stronger anti-piracy laws would lead to more jobs and higher tax revenues in Estonia. While such laws, if they worked at all, would at best only shift jobs and revenue from one sector to another, the reality
