‘Smart IPTV’ App Blocked By ISPs, Despite it Carrying Zero Illegal Streams
Yet when smart TV users somehow manage to clunk their way through, say, LG’s menus, and then avoid the avalanche of distractions that exist purely to break their will, only disappointment lies ahead for the IPTV-curious. If, against all odds, they find an app that resembles the thing they actually searched for, the high probability of being presented with the app “Smart IPTV” is something thousands before them will attest to. More DisappointmentIt’s not that Smart IPTV is a poor product, it’s not. The fact that most of the time people have to pay to use it isn’t to blame either. The problem is the expectations of those who bought the software in the belief it contains illegal streams. It doesn’t, and that can be very disappointing. Most likely due to the number of complaints from misinformed buyers, listings for the app on the LG, Samsung, and Google Play stores are now very clear: Smart IPTV does not provide access to playlists or streams, so don’t even ask.  The reason for the confusion among prospective buyers isn’t immediately clear. Smart IPTV seems like it’s been around forever and at no point has anything stuck out as being especially misleading or offering any suggestion that more might be on offer. Yet now, even those who purchased Smart IPTV in full knowledge it offered no content, are being disappointed too. Smart IPTV Website Blocked in SpainDuring the past few days, reports have surfaced indicating that the official website of Smart IPTV has been blocked by Spanish ISPs. Visitors to siptv.app are instead redirected to an alternative page displaying the following text: “Contenido bloqueado por requerimiento de la Autoridad Competente, comunicado a esta Operadora” When translated to English, the message reads: “Content blocked at the request of the Competent Authority, communicated to this Operator. In common with many countries around the world, particularly in Europe, Spain has a site-blocking system that restricts access to sites and services deemed to infringe copyright. Some prominent cases receive publicity as they travel through the legal system, most notably when top tier football league LaLiga and its broadcasting partners obtain injunctions to block pirate IPTV services. While Spain does put together a report every few months to show the extent of blocking in the country, its usefulness is limited to a review of blocking already in place. As a tool to explain what is happening now, much less why a site or service was deemed infringing, the report is effectively useless. As a result, which company declared the Smart IPTV app as copyright-infringing is unknown. What we can do, if only as a thought exercise, is use existing information to establish the most likely candidate based on motivation and past statements. LaLiga – Who Else?When it comes to blocking measures, especially those related to pirate IPTV, no rightsholders anywhere in the world are more aggressive than those behind the most popular football leagues. The Premier League (England), Serie A (Italy) and LaLiga (Spain) are widely considered to be the leading proponents of blocking measures. Through a basic process of elimination, LaLiga is the only entity from the three likely to have targeted Smart IPTV in Spain, but there are more compelling reasons than simply being an aggressive blocking proponent in a specific geographic area. In a 2022 submission to a then-upcoming edition of the European Commission’s Counterfeiting and Piracy Watchlist, LaLiga submitted a list of apps that, from a technical perspective, could play illegal streams of LaLiga football matches. More accurately, the majority simply allowed the users of the apps to play content referenced in .M3U playlists that were not supplied with the apps themselves. Terrifying Text Files From The 90sBeing able to play an .M3U playlist is a basic functionality offered by media players including VLC. For those sporting gray hair today, the same ‘technology’ was available in Winamp. Those who remember .M3U playlists starting to gain popularity in 1996 will be able to explain this incredible technology in a few words; it’s a text file containing locations where information can be found, on a hard drive (c:\playlists) or a network, mostly using a domain or IP address. Instead of accusing the apps of infringement directly, LaLiga used broad strokes to paint a picture of infringing capability. “It is important to note that all of these player applications allow the consumption of an innumerable amount of audiovisual contents such as sports, movies, series TV channels, etc. In other words, this problem affects the entire audiovisual and entertainment industry in general,” LaLiga added, carefully choosing its words. As we highlighted at the time, LaLiga’s careful words were supported by carefully presented evidence, which in one case took an IPTV developer’s documentation and used it against them, after cropping the screenshot to disappear a line that began: “This app doesn’t contain any built-in channels…” Again, we must reiterate that Spain’s blocking mechanism fails to offer enough transparency to identify who is behind the blocking of Smart IPTV. This means that we cannot say with any certainty that LaLiga is actually behind the blockade, but we can offer a generalized conclusion. Any system that allows participants to mark their own homework in relative secrecy, can never be fit for purpose when other people’s basic rights begin to suffer. The fundamental right to conduct a legal business throughout the Union, for example. Blocking Began Around April 12To find out more about recent events, TorrentFreak spoke with the owner of Smart IPTV. “The website domains siptv.app and siptv.eu have been blocked at some of Spain’s ISPs since approx. 04/12. Some ISPs still allow access to the website,” he explains. “I have not received any correspondence from the officials or ISPs, I only started receiving messages from angry users from Spain that they couldn’t access the website. I conversed with a couple of them and it turned out the blocking is on the domain level, where ISPs are redirecting using 451 HTTP error, which also threw SSL certificate errors for those using HTTPS.” With the blocking clearly causing access and security issues, Smart IPTV’s owner says that blocking can be avoided using a VPN but for him, it’s “not a very good solution.” Instead, he’s having to make modifications to his apps to mitigate the problems. “Since the App is operating on the same domains [as the website], the only way to work around this is to release updates of the appropriate Apps on devices, which I have already submitted and waiting for approval from Apps Stores (this can take a while),” he explains. “A manual Android install is already operating normally, confirmed by Spanish users. The problem is that older devices that won’t get the app update (I am talking 10-year-old devices) will not be able to benefit from the app any longer.” Of course, it’s likely that angry users who don’t understand the situation will blame the developer, then expect a new version of the app for free. But, as the MPA highlighted recently as it prepares its own proposals for blocking in the United States, blocking never, ever goes wrong. As everyone else knows, that’s absolutely true, except for when it does. From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more. |

On a Theorem by Lin and Shinder through the Lens of Median Geometry https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.05197 On a Theorem by Lin and Shinder through the Lens of Median Geometry Anthony Genevois, Anne Lonjou, Christian Urech Recently, Lin and Shinder constructed non-trivial homomorphisms from Cremona groups of rank >2 to \mathbb{Z} using motivic techniques. In this short note we propose an alternative perspective from median geometry on their theorem. прикольно кстати, доказывается теорема Шиндера-Лина через геометрическую теорию групп в частности теорему Виктора Герасимова: связный граф называется медианным, если для любой тройки вершин x,y,z есть единственная вершина m такая что |x-y|=|x-m|+|y-m| |x-z|=|x-m|+|z-m| |z-y|=|z-m|+|y-m| то есть есть медианная точка которая делит все три стороны пополам. Так вот граф медианный тогда и только тогда когда он является 1-остовом CAT(0) кубического комплекса. |

Filmmakers Expand Piracy Liability Lawsuit, Add Dozens of Millions in Potential Damages
Many ISPs have been reluctant to take such drastic measures, which triggered a wave of copyright infringement lawsuits in recent years with WideOpenWest (WOW!) as one of the targets. The Colorado-based Internet provider was sued by a group of movie companies including Millennium Media and Voltage Pictures. The filmmakers accuse the ISP of failing to disconnect the accounts of subscribers who were repeatedly flagged for sharing copyrighted material via BitTorrent. The movie companies hold WOW! liable for these pirating activities, which could lead to millions of dollars in damages. The ISP rejects the claims and responded with a motion to dismiss, which was denied last year, and the case remains ongoing today. Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit ExpansionAfter the case was stalled for over a year, the movie companies requested permission to submit an amended complaint, which would add seven new plaintiffs and more than 300 new works. The proposals raised the stakes significantly. Instead of 57 works, good for maximum statutory damages of roughly $8 million, an expansion to roughly 375 works would increase the statutory maximum to $56 million. In addition to the monetary stakes, the proposed update also introduced evidence from two new third-party piracy tracking companies, Irdeto and Facterra. The initial complaint only included piracy tracking information from anti-piracy partner Maverickeye. WOW protested these additions, but the court allowed the movie companies to go ahead. This week, they filed their second amended complaint at the Colorado federal court, making the changes official. Same Claims, Higher StakesThe nature of the claims against WOW! haven’t changed. The movie companies accuse the Internet provider of contributory and vicarious copyright infringement, as well as DMCA violations. The complaint lists several examples of WOW! subscribers who, according to the referenced piracy tracking data, repeatedly shared copyright-infringing content including plaintiffs’ films.  WOW! purportedly received tens of thousands of infringement notices and was allegedly aware of these piracy activities. However, the ISP decided not to take any action as that could hurt its revenues, the movie companies allege. “Defendant knew that if it terminated or otherwise prevented repeat infringer subscribers from using its service to infringe, or made it less attractive for such use, Defendant would enroll fewer new subscribers, lose existing subscribers, and ultimately lose revenue,” the amended complaint reads. Redditors and Site BlockingIn addition to IP-address logs and other evidence, the movie companies also cite screenshots from Reddit users who discussed WOW!’s handling of piracy notices, or its lack thereof. They suggest that this acted as a draw to potential subscribers. “The ability of subscribers ‘who want it all’ to use Defendant’s high speed service to ‘intensively upload and download’ Plaintiffs’ Works without having their services terminated despite multiple notices being sent to Defendant acts as a powerful draw for subscribers of Defendant’s service,” they write.  Besides terminating accounts of subscribers whose connections are repeatedly used to pirate, the ISP could have taken other ‘simple’ actions as well. For example, by blocking notorious ‘pirate’ sites such as torrent sites YTS and (the now defunct) RARB. “Upon information and belief, Defendant refuses to block or limit its subscribers from accessing notorious piracy websites out of fear of losing subscriber revenue,” the complaint reads. Increased Damages and MoreTo compensate for this wrongdoing, the plaintiffs request statutory damages up to the maximum of $150,000 per work. With roughly 375 titles in suit, damages could reach $56,250,000 for the copyright infringements alone. The DMCA violations could add millions more to this tally, the movie companies note. On top of the damages increase, the movie companies still seek far-reaching injunctive relief. They specifically request an order requiring WOW! to terminate the accounts of subscribers targeted by three unique infringement notices in three days. In addition to this mandatory three-strikes policy, WOW! should also block all alleged pirate sites listed in the USTR’s annual overview of notorious markets. This includes the likes of The Pirate Bay, FMovies, and YTS. Finally, the movie companies request an order that requires the Internet provider to disclose the identities of account holders whose accounts are flagged for copyright infringement. Needless to say, such an order would allow the companies to target the alleged pirates directly. — A copy of the movie companies’ second amended complaint, filed against WOW! at the US District Court for Colorado, is available here (pdf) From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more. |

Operator of ‘Bitcoin Invested’ Pirate Site Movie2K Charged After More Than a Decade [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<img [...] ">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/movie2klogo.jpg" class="alignright"" width="259" height="227" alt="movie2k" />At the start of the 2010s, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie4k">Movie2K</a> was one of the most visited sites on the web. </p>
<p>The site was an early adopter of pirate streaming and at its peak, secured a spot among the twenty most-visited websites in Germany, beating Twitter and Amazon. </p>
<p>Movie2K’s success generated a healthy revenue stream which its operators converted to a new and exciting ‘currency’ called Bitcoin. It’s assumed that the goal was to keep the haul hidden from prying eyes, but more on that later.</p>
<p>The site’s reign ended with a <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/movie2k-disappears-without-warning-130529/">surprise shut down</a> in the spring of 2013. Many believed that legal troubles had plagued the site, a suspicion that was eventually confirmed years later when Dresden police announced <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/police-arrest-three-in-prolonged-movie2k-piracy-investigation-191120/">several arrests</a>.</p>
<h2>Early Arrests and Prison Sentences</h2>
<p>These initial arrests targeted one of the main operators, who received a one-year prison sentence for copyright infringement in 2023, as well as an eight-month sentence for money laundering, fraud, and tax evasion.</p>
<p>In the same criminal prosecution, the site’s financial agent received a ten-month suspended prison sentence. All sentences were suspended and both men issued a full confession. In addition, at least one of the defendants helped the investigation into other suspects. </p>
<p><center><strong>Movie2K.to</strong></center><br /><center><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/movie2k.jpg" alt="movie2k" width="600" height="354" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250330" srcset="https://torrentfreak.com/images/movie2k.jpg 1482w, https://torrentfreak.com/images/movie2k-300x177.jpg 300w, https://torrentfreak.com/images/movie2k-220x130.jpg 220w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></center></p>
<p>The authorities had also seized 2,700 bitcoins. These are currently valued at €160 million but were previously exchanged by the authorities in an “emergency sale” for 38.6 million euros. The money remains in custody pending a final decision on the fate of these criminal proceeds. </p>
<p>While 2,700 bitcoins was already the largest seizure in a piracy-related prosecution, this figure was topped by the nearly 50,000 bitcoins the German authorities <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/authorities-secure-2-billion-in-bitcoin-from-pirate-site-operators-240130/">voluntarily seized</a> earlier this year. </p>
<h2>Fresh Charges</h2>
<p>This second Bitcoin heist is connected to an ongoing prosecution where the Dresden General Prosecutor’s Office announced its charges this week, more than a decade after the site shut down.</p>
<p>The main suspect is one of Movie2K’s main admins, who remained on the run for a long time. The 40-year-old German man has been listed as wanted internationally since 2019. He was eventually arrested in Spain last year and extradited to Germany to face prosecution. </p>
<p>The defendant now faces charges including unauthorized commercial exploitation of copyrighted works and commercial money laundering. The second defendant, a 37-year-old Polish man, is charged with commercial money laundering and tax evasion. </p>
<p>The Polish defendant was a friend of the main suspect and reportedly received a salary in Bitcoin for his work at the pirate streaming portal. </p>
<p>As mentioned by <a href="https://tarnkappe.info/artikel/rechtssachen/movie2k-to-anklage-gegen-mutmasslichen-betreiber-erhoben-292274.html">Tarnkappe</a>, the crackdown and investigation into Movie2K also led to a real estate agent from Berlin who allegedly <a href="https://www.saechsische.de/kriminalitaet/sachsens-generalstaatsanwalt-klagt-internet-filmanbieter-an-5990059.html">received millions</a> of euros from the site’s operators through a Dutch mailbox company.</p>
<p>The Prosecutor’s Office notes that the Leipzig district court has yet to admit further charges against the real estate agent, who reportedly invested the money in physical properties. </p>
<h2>Billions in Bitcoin</h2>
<p>While the charges announced this week are significant, the earlier seizure of 50,000 bitcoins stands out most. These are valued at roughly 3 billion euros today and, as far as we know, they’re yet to be sold.</p>
<p>“The investigation into the handling of the seized Bitcoins is ongoing,” the Dresden Prosecutor’s Office notes. </p>
<p>It’s remarkable to see the recent developments in this case, considering that the site itself has been offline for eleven years. That said, with billions in Bitcoin at stake, perseverance seems to have paid off.</p>

Error'd: Believe It Or Not This week we have a special visit from a mythical beast: the snarklemma. But first, a non-error Error'd. Obsessive Optimizer Ian K. "Walmart's nationwide network of warehouse stores means they can save time and money by shipping locally. FedEx has them covered: Their nationwide shipping fleet determined the shortest path from Houston to its largest suburb goes via Georgia." Not the shortest path, nor the fastest, but surely the cheapest one that meets the delivery date requirement. It's probably not an error, and I believe it, but I still can't believe it! Possibly our most faithful contributor, Michael R. is also a Voyager fan. He shared this snapshot with us, commanding "Adjust our delefctor!" I think that's probably just the way they spefl thingf int he 24f sentry. An anonymous poster shared this image with us, remarking: "I'm not sure..." A second anonymous poster was caught on the horns of a snarklemma. Please help them out by voting in the comments. Would you prefer snark A: "Disney is acquiring so many things nowadays. I didn't know it was also acquiring Android notifications." Or would you prefer snark B: "I only have one TV and only one Disney+ account playing only one animated series. And yet, Google Play Services generated several notifications. Thats not Disney+, that's Disney+++++". Miquel B. eschews Netflix in favor of the edgier material available elsewhere.

Большевик — не марксист, сказал Сталин, а христианин не должен быть нравственным, сказал Кураев. сказал Сталин, а христианин не должен быть нравственным, сказал Кураев.   Значительно раньше дьякона Кураева, отец родной, тов. Сталин, объявил 5 марта 1937-го, в заключительном слове февральско-мартовскому пленуму ЦК, который начал Большой Террор, что член его партии никак не обязан быть марксистом. АГА. Большинство пленума как раз уже и состояло из таких большевиков, которые не были марксистами. Очень они хлопали за это тов. Сталину. Теперь он освободил их от комплекса неполноценности по отношению к старым большевикам. Тов. Сталин знал, что делал. Теперь его кадры не смущались тем, что должны поубивать тех, которые пришли в партию именно потому, что стали марксистами. Большевики не должны были быть марксистами. А согласно дьякону Кураеву, христиане, которые в своё время вступали в общину христианства потому что решили прожить всю жизнь, до самой смерти, по Христу, — христиане не должны даже и пытаться жить по Христу. Ни к чему это. Как тов. Сталин освободил большевиков от марксизма, так же само и дьякон Кураев освободил базарную тётю Маню, ейного Васю и Патриарха Кирилла от жизни по Христу. Как будто они собирались на самом деле жить по Христу. ХА-ХА-ХА!!! В начале этой недели константинопольский Патриарх Варфоломей восстановил Кураева в сане протодьякона.

фонтан из говна На kasparov.ru со всех сил набрасывают на ФБК и Юлию Навальную. Примитивная пустышка ("мальчик, водочки нам принеси!"), вся заслуга которой заключается в том, что ей выпало быть супругой Алексея Навального ? самого известного российского имперца, националиста и пещерного ксенофоба ("черножопая" и "грызуны"). На радостях, по случаю "возвращения Крыма в родную гавань", советовавшего украинцам навсегда забыть о нем. Про таких говорят: ограничен, как школьный учитель. Один ее призыв к россиянам в день "выборов" Путина 17 марта принять участие в акции "Полдень против Путина" говорит сам за себя. * * * И такой фонтан из говна там льется с каждой страницы. Насколько я понимаю, истинная причина помоев не в том, что "Полдень против Путина" им серьезно не нравится, а в том, что сотрудники Навального сняли очередное разоблачительное кино про ельциноидов, которые привели путлера к власти (а многие и никуда не уходили). В принципе, ельциноиды и путлеровцы это действительно немного разные персонажи, ибо за 20 лет правления путлера, путлер сделал единственным социальным лифтом работу в гебе и около, в итоге в "силовики" набрали нереальное количество неграмотных олигофренов из глубинки, а те построили страну под себя. Во времена ельцина ту же функцию исполняла организованная преступность (из которой, собственно, и произошел путлер вместе с его ближайшим кругом). Даже и не знаю, кого из них я больше ненавижу: неграмотных путлеровских олигофренов, ставших гебешными рейдерами, или ельцинскую оргпреступность, в лице самого путлера и "кооператива Озеро". И те и другие это полные нелюди и куски говна, которые отформатировали сраную рашку под себя и сделали ее помойной ямой. Но достаточно смешно, что говно-страной все еще рулят ельциноиды, и те же самые тошнотворные куски говна рулят "оппозицией", как на известных возмутительных фотках, где Симонян пьет шампанское с Венедиктовым и профессиональными "оппозиционерами". И вот эти самые ельцинские недобитки возмутились тем, что на них покусились наследники Навального. Хулительный текст от Марии Певчих я не читал (начал читать, ничего нового не нашел, но со всем согласен), а фильмов ФБК вообще ни одного в жизни не смотрел, ибо мне делается скучно от необходимость тыриться в экран. Но вообще идея накласть говна на пост-советских олигархов правильная, а то, что этих мразей от сего так сильно крючит - большой плюс, значит попали мразям в больное место. Конечно, путлера никакая "оппозиция" не завалит, и вообще влияние "оппозиции" на жизнь в сраной равно нулю. Но что вся эта коррупционная шелупонь типа Ходорковского и говноедов из "Эха Москвы" и "Дождя" выдает себя за "оппозицию", бесит неимоверно, тошнотворные мрази же, выродки и олигофрены.

родные мои... |
| 04:49 pm lj_pamupe_cc [Link] |  С тематической неделей пока не задалось, но зато воспользовался поводом и проверил что происходит с полупотерянным дебютом Накамуры, «Chibineko Tom no Daibōken - Chikyū o Sukue! Nakama-tachi». По прежнему полупотерян, но нашёлся подробный отчёт о просмотре в японском кинотеатре с описанием всего сюжета и анализом. Это весьма характерная история. В 92-ом Накамура снял своё первое полнометражное аниме, детскую сказку с антропоморфными котами. Команда была серьёзная, там даже Хироюки Окиура в художниках, композитор - сам Кэндзи Каваи. Но заслуженного триумфа не получилось, так как настал кризис, компания обанкротилась и уже готовый фильм буквально лёг на полку. После смерти Накамуры фанаты начали кампанию за спасение дебюта. Плёнку оцифровали и теперь регулярно показывают в кинотеатрах. Плюс напечатали 250 BD, только для доноров. Никто пока не слил. Есть проект и по переводу/изданию на западе, но тут что-то не срослось. В сети с переводом доступны только первые пять минут. Будем ждать, что нам ещё остаётся? @denpa_iyashikei |

This is done by solving the complex Homogeneous Monge-Ampère equation on the deformation to the normal cone of the submanifold. We use this to establish local regularity for global weak solutions, giving local smoothness to the (weak) geodesic rays in the space of (weak) Kähler potentials associated to a given complex submanifold. We also use it to get an optimal regularity result for naturally defined plurisubharmonic envelopes and for the boundaries of their associated equilibrium sets. https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3282 |

Publishers including Shogakukan, Kadokawa, and Shueisha, and their anti-piracy partner CODA, estimated that in its relatively brief time online, Mangamura had caused a staggering $2.91 billion in losses. In April 2018, in the wake of a government announcement that detailed emergency website blocking against sites including Mangamura, the site suddenly disappeared and was never seen again. Then came the reckoning. A criminal investigation eventually led to the arrest of the site’s operator, Romi Hoshino, in Manilla. After being deported to Japan and arrested, Hoshino faced a criminal trial and in June 2021, was handed a three-year prison sentence and financial penalties totaling around $650K. Publishers Sue For DamagesHoping to recoup some of their losses, in the summer of 2022 manga publishers Kodakawa, Shogakukan, and Shueisha filed a civil action against the former operator of Mangamura. Their lawsuit sought damages of 1.9 billion yen ($12.3 million at today’s rates) from Hoshino, supported by evidence obtained from Google and Cloudflare, among others. Following his release in 2022, Hoshino hit the headlines last September when promoting the imminent release of his new book, The Truth About Mangamura, which appears to have generated mostly positive reviews on Amazon. Publishers Handed Big Win in TokyoWhether Hoshino’s book was a commercial success isn’t clear. However, a decision handed down today at the Tokyo District Court in the civil action, brought against him by the publishers, carries a damages award big enough to upset even the most successful authors. According to the publishers’ complaint, around 8,200 pirated copies of manga and magazines (73,000 volumes) were offered on Mangamura. With monthly visits of up to 100 million, totaling 538 million between April 2017 and April 2018, the publishers estimated overall damages in excess of 320 billion yen, around $2 billion at today’s rates. The publishers’ 1.9 billion yen claim, based on a calculation that multiplied the average number of views by the sales price of each of the 17 infringed works in suit, was the largest ever claim against a pirate site in Japan. Even then, it represented just a small part of the overall damages attributable to the site, the publishers argued. Judge Masaki Sugiura agreed that Mangamura caused damage to the publishers but awarded less than the 1.9 billion yen requested. The award of 1.7 billion yen, around $11 million, is still believed to be a record amount for a piracy case in Japan. Hoshino and Publishers Respond to DecisionOutside the Tokyo District Court, Romi Hoshino appeared happy to answer questions about the decision. The full video is embedded below for any native speakers or those who have any confidence in the accuracy of the transcript. While the translation doesn’t feel authentic enough for us to report on directly, there’s no doubt when it comes to Hoshino’s overall opinion of the decision. He rejects the decision, the amount, and even the result of the first trial that landed him behind bars. In the short term, Hoshino says he may appeal today’s decision. Ultimately, however, he lacks any motivation to balance the books. “I have no intention of paying anything,” he said, effortlessly closing the loop. A statement published on Kadokawa’s website notes that the award for damages is appropriate; it also concedes that it will be “impossible to recover all of it.” “We believe that it is of great significance that the illegality and liability for compensation regarding ‘Mangamura’ have been recognized in the judicial arena. Copyright infringement cases are not limited to pirated sites targeting manga, but also include movies, anime, etc., and the scope of damage is wide-ranging. Our company intends to take a resolute stance in dealing with cases of rights infringement,” Kadokawa concludes. From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more. |
| 05:49 pm hyperion [Link] | С тематической неделей пока не задалось, но зато воспользовался поводом и проверил что происходит с полупотерянным дебютом Накамуры, «Chibineko Tom no Daibōken - Chikyū o Sukue! Nakama-tachi». По прежнему полупотерян, но нашёлся подробный отчёт о просмотре в японском кинотеатре с описанием всего сюжета и анализом. Это весьма характерная история. В 92-ом Накамура снял своё первое полнометражное аниме, детскую сказку с антропоморфными котами. Команда была серьёзная, там даже Хироюки Окиура в художниках, композитор - сам Кэндзи Каваи. Но заслуженного триумфа не получилось, так как настал кризис, компания обанкротилась и уже готовый фильм буквально лёг на полку. После смерти Накамуры фанаты начали кампанию за спасение дебюта. Плёнку оцифровали и теперь регулярно показывают в кинотеатрах. Плюс напечатали 250 BD, только для доноров. Никто пока не слил. Есть проект и по переводу/изданию на западе, но тут что-то не срослось. В сети с переводом доступны только первые пять минут. Будем ждать, что нам ещё остаётся? @denpa_iyashikei |

Icon of Sin если вдруг кому-то хочется прямо Iron Maiden, и вокал как у Сирены — только это не Сирена, и банда из бразилии, то вот: Icon of Sin. отличный классический хэви. ничего сногшибательного — но качаственно, и Рафаэль прямо как Брюс, только Рафаэль. |
| 12:25 am lj_pamupe_cc [Link] |  Вот с одной стороны, он нам известен явно не этим. И на его могиле обязательно и неизбежно напишут три общеизвестные буквы Но с другой, для всех было бы лучше если бы он так и оставался просто похотливым лицемером и посмешищем всего ЖЖ. Всё, что он с гордостью перечисляет, на порядок хуже банальной моральной нечистоплотности. @pamupe_c |
| 12:21 am lj_pamupe_cc [Link] |  С момента знакомства с ресурсами его высочества товарища Парамонова я регулярно заглядываю посмотреть как поживает Великая Страна Суверен Союз Советских Социалистических Республик. На их сайте регулярно выкладывают свежие указы. Судя по стилистике в царстве парамоновом уже наступила технологическая сингулярность и указы им пишет особая нейросеть, надрессированная на текстах самых отборных параноиков ЖЖ и Дзена. Однако их последний декрет меня действительно удивил. Он начинался стандартно, как прямое продолжение их недавнего запрета всех видов иудаизма на территории СССР. Но уже на сообщении о десятках тысяч еврейских диверсантов, внедрившихся в силовые структуры псевдо-России и псевдо-Украины я слегка нахмурился. И с каждой новой страницей декрета моё удивление только усиливалось. Это ведь выкладывают явные жулики, создающие виртуальную утопию для потенциальных вкладчиков. И в данный момент они считают, что их целевая аудитория мечтает о немедленном прекращении войны и аресте её разжигателей за геноцид. @apocalypse_cult |

Uptobox Was Shut Down in 2023; A Court Will Decide Whether to Resurrect It
At several points in its dozen or so years online, Uptobox faced adversity, mostly due to copyright issues. Last May, the site was blocked by French ISPs but determined to stay online, Uptobox provided its users with advice on how blocking could be circumvented. On September 20, 2023, not even the most sophisticated techniques allowed users to connect to Uptobox servers. After obtaining authorization from a French court, the world’s largest entertainment companies, including Columbia, Paramount, StudioCanal, Warner Bros, Disney, Apple, and Amazon, descended on two datacenters used by Uptobox. At Scaleway and OpCore, two cloud service providers based in Vitry-sur-Seine in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, servers were unplugged and seized as evidence in support of a civil action. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment eventually claimed responsibility and in a statement revealed that two French nationals were operating Uptobox from Dubai. It was always inevitable that the ‘criminal operators’ would find themselves shut down, ACE said. Uptobox Said Little Until RecentlyGiven the gravity of any legal measures taken by a coalition with a combined worth expressed in triple-digit billions, Uptobox hasn’t said much over the past six months. Last December, via the service’s X account, the company said that all subscriptions had been frozen and would be extended. At a minimum, it would like users to get their files back. Then on March 7, 2024, Uptobox appeared to offer more positive news. “Our position is to do everything to recover these servers and allow our users to recover their data, and more optimistically to resume our activity. Thank you all for your support,” a post to X revealed. Dubai-based company Genius Servers Tech Fze is said to be the operator of Uptobox. It filed an appeal in October 2023 and the first hearing was held at the Paris judicial court a few days ago. Server Costs Running to 75,000 Euros Per MonthMarc Rees of French publication l’Informé attended the hearing and had the opportunity to speak with Thomas Chalanset, Uptobox/Genius Servers’ attorney. He was critical of the seizure and the ex parte nature of the court order behind it. “This is the first time the operator of the Uptobox/Uptostream service, Genius Servers Tech Fze has been able to present its case. The power of the companies in front of us must not let misleading appearances win the day,” Chalanset explained. “The service risks being asphyxiated by server costs and the length of the proceedings, even if Genius emerges unscathed in terms of a conviction.” Uptobox’s server bill currently runs to 75,000 euros per month and the current process has already been running for seven months. The nature of the case, currently in the hands of the public prosecutor, features parallel criminal proceedings for infringement filed by the plaintiffs. There are fears the process could run for years. “Blocklist Inclusion Supported Seizure Operation”Documents seen by l’Informé indicate that the movie companies used Uptobox’s inclusion on blacklists as justification for the seizure operation to go ahead. The first, the European Commission’s Counterfeiting and Piracy Watch List, mentioned Uptobox in its 2022 edition. However, as the service’s attorney Thomas Chalanset points out, the European Commission “does not take any position” on any of the rightsholder allegations, including those below, that appear in the report. In any event, the Commission has never contacted Uptobox, Chalanset says.  Other actions against Uptobox all involved French regulator ARCOM; in respect of the first in 2023, Uptobox claims to have received no correspondence and is now taking action to have the decision reversed. Two other judgments that resulted in the Uptobox domain being blocked by ISPs last year, are also being appealed. No Different to Google Drive or Dropbox, Court HearsAccording to l’Informé’s report on the proceedings, Thomas Chalanset informed the court that his client’s service is no different to Google Drive or Dropbox; if a complaint is received requesting the removal of infringing content, there’s an obligation to take it down. Lawyers for the entertainment companies rejected the comparison; Google and Dropbox sell storage space, whereas Uptobox offered premium subscriptions with “18 features, only one of which relates to storage spaces. All the others aim to unblock access, downloading, and viewing of hosted files, for example to break the waiting time limit between two downloads or for viewing files.” As for the comment about actioning takedowns in common with Google Drive and Dropbox, the studios highlighted a feature on Uptobox that restored files following receipt of a takedown notice. A test involving 68 infringing files revealed that half reappeared within two hours. Some Users Are Pirates, Non-Infringing Files Get No PublicityChalanset conceded that pirates did use Uptobox, but these were just a tiny minority who wanted to accumulate enough ‘Premium’ points to pay for their five euro per month subscription. Uptobox also called on a pair of expert reports to counter claims from rights holders that 84% of the files on the platform were infringing. As per l’Informé (translated from French) “[T]he Dubai company also produced two reports, one written by In Code We Trust, a consulting company, the other by Hubert Bitant, a legal expert at the Paris Court of Appeal. Their analysis shows that the vast majority of files hosted on Uptobox are not downloaded or viewed. In essence, 73.5% of the hosted files were not downloaded, while the rights holders estimate that 84% of the files are infringing.” The statistical method used by the rights holders to identify pirated content stored on Uptobox also came in for criticism. Their approach reportedly involved visiting pirate sites that typically link to files hosted elsewhere, Uptobox included. However, by visiting pirate sites, most of the content on offer would obviously be infringing and shared in public; non-infringing content that isn’t shared in public, users’ personal files and photographs, for example, by their very nature simply wouldn’t appear on a pirate platform. Whether the court found Uptobox’s appeal credible will be revealed when its decision is handed down in two months. It’s unclear if users will be able to retrieve any family photos at any point, but a stampede to discuss the matter in person before the court seems unlikely.

| 09:46 am aculeata [Link] | Теофилы правы: человек от животного отличается чувством божественного. Но не очень сильно. Pecking order глубоко вписан в сакральную матрицу: ведь и любой народный бунт либо религиозный, либо идейный, в поддержку атеистического эгрегора. У социальных животных оно так и устроено: лейтенант, желающий скинуть начальника, собирает себе группу поддержки из низов (соперников из верхней части алфавита лучше не вербовать, потом все равно придется делать им тепель-тапель). А человек просто догадался апеллировать к убитому прежде начальнику: он никогда не разочарует, потому что никогда не проявит слабости. Это хорошо, потому что появился архетип Революции (Свободы). Во-первых, она топлесс, во-вторых, она преобразует смыслы и добавляет сложности. Но, конечно, ее то пытаются обожествить up beyond recognition, то гоняются за ней с целью нахлобучить на нее все-таки паранджу. У животных тоже бывает сакральное, это мы знаем как минимум от Конрада Лоренца. У них бывают ритуалы, и это модус вивенди, они, как люди, изобретают их себе на ходу. Но мертвым они не поклоняются. |
Under U.S. copyright law, Internet providers must terminate the accounts of repeat infringers “in appropriate circumstances.”
