Who owns the content you upload online? | Money | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • The outrage over Instagram's announcement that it is changing its terms and conditions has turned the spotlight on the relationship between websites and users who upload content, whether it is photos, video, blogs or even games.
  • A survey of UK consumers suggested just 7% read online terms and conditions before they signed up for products and services, and other research has put it even lower.
  • Twitter: You retain your rights to any content you post on Twitter, but you grant the website a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence (with the right to sublicense) "to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute" your content.

Internet users unaware of illegal downloading | Technology | The Guardian - 0 views

  • Nearly half of the internet users surveyed incorrectly said they thought it was legal to upload commercially produced media to a file-sharing website
  • Internet users unaware of illegal downloading
  • Internet users are unwittingly turning into online pirates over confusion about what constitutes illegal downloading.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • As many as 44% of those who took part in an independent, online survey of 2,500 respondents in the survey commissioned by the law firm Wiggin incorrectly said they thought it was legal to upload commercially produced media to a file-sharing website, or did not know whether it was lawful or not.More than a third – 35% – inaccurately claimed it was legal to copy a film or TV show as a file from a friend, or admitted they didn't know if it was legal.
  • However, almost two-thirds admitted they regularly use search engines such as Google to find unauthorised content. Over one in four used search engines on a daily basis to find such material.

BBC - Future - Technology - YouTube: The cult of web video - 0 views

  • With 72 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, almost every moment of modern history is a cult waiting to happen. And it is becoming big business.
  • The billion dollar question is how: how to make your video “go viral”, spreading your particular slice of contemporary culture across the planet like a contagion.
  • Silliness is more important – but not vital, given that both the Kony documentary and the jump from space are entirely serious.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Similarly, although sex may remain the most powerful form of advertising, it barely features within this list. Visual excitement won’t do either, given that the year’s second-biggest hit features a single camera pointed at five people and a guitar.
  • irality isn’t actually a property of these videos at all. It’s a property of their audience: a description not of a particular object, but of the ways in which that object is used.
  • To pass on a video or link is to become an evangelist for an instant cult: to gain the status of an initiate, complete with social capital and mutual LOLs. Unlike a biological virus, which hijacks hapless cells no matter what their owners might want, these are infections you must decide to pass on.

Social networks: after privacy, beyond friendship | openDemocracy - 0 views

  • irst, research shows that social-networking sites are a serious risk when accessed at work.

  • The second reason is that once uploaded, personal details can become public possession - and not just for now but, effectively, forever. News Corp bought MySpace to exploit what previously had been unthinkable to advertisers: customers telling you what they want without you even asking.

  • he irony in all this is that Facebook - which in September 2007 overtook MySpace in Britain as the preferred site for individual users - was originally set up to mirror rather than overturn the "intimacy" and exclusiveness of real-world, face-to-face networks. Andrew McCollum, one of the founders of Facebook, explained to me that they based the project on a pretty closed community, namely university colleges.

Zračenja iz mobitela i antena uništavaju našu DNK i stvaraju rak | 2012 Trans... - 0 views

  • Za sve one koji negativni utjecaj iz elektroničkih uređaja smatraju običnom teorijom zavjere bez ikakve veze s istinom donosimo najnovija znanstvena otkrića koja pokazuju vezu između novootkrivenih svojstava deoksiribonukleinske kiseline i bežičnih tehnologija.
  • DNK ima dvije strukturalne karakteristike fraktalnih antena: elektroničku kondukciju i samo-simetriju.
  • Kada se DNK našla u doticaju s EMF-om i RF-om, prvo su se pojavili visoki nivoi stresnih proteina u heliskima DNK, a nakon toga su znanstvenici promatrali kako se spirale DNK razdvajaju i raspadaju. Drugim riječima ne-ionizrajuće zračenje uništava ljudsku DNK.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Ljudska DNK je najburnije reagirala na ELF-ove (extreme low frequencies) ili radio valove ekstremno niske frekvencije, iako su efekti slični kao i s drugim oblicima RF i EMF zračenja, u slučaju ELF-ova reakcije su postajale puno kompleksnije.
  • povećanje različitih vrsta zračenja siguran razlog u povećanju kancerogene epidemiologije
  • povećanje broja kancerogenih oboljenja možemo zahvaliti različitim zračenjima iz okoliša koja su oštetila i još uvijek oštećuju našu DNK.
  • za 40% povećava rizik od dobivanja raka mozga u slučaju da korisnici provedu telefonirajući više od 1640 sati. U neovisnom istraživanju iz 2007., godine, koje je obavio tim iz Švedske je otkriveno kako se za 540% povećava rizik od dobivanja raka ako se mobilni telefoni koriste više od 2000 sati.
  • Svijet se treba osloboditi od mobilne telefonije, ne samo da je ova tehnologija opasna, ona je smrtonosna. Biološki učinak mobilnih telefona na ljudsko tijelo ne leži u jakosti signala već u njegovoj eratičnoj prirodi koja uništava rezonancu DNK i njenu mogućnost obnavljanja. Ovo je i najjednostavniji razlog zašto mobilna tehnologija stvara kancerogena oboljenja.
  • Izraelski znanstvenici su preko 30 godina istraživali povećanje tumora na parotidnoj žlijezdi, između 1970-te i 2006-te godine broj tumora se povećao za 400%.
  • dr. Siegal Sadetcki, glavni istražitelj senata SAD-a, je uspio identificirati glavnog krivca za tumore zaušne žlijezde. U njegovom izvješću stoji kako su mobilni telefoni glavni i najčešći krivci za: 34% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi na regularnoj bazi u vremenu od pet godina. 58% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi s više od 5500 poziva za vrijeme ljudskog života. 49% povećanja rizika od tumora zaušne žlijezde ako se mobilni telefon koristi za više od 266,3 sata za vrijeme ljudskog života.
  • 03.05.2011., godine, WHO i IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) ili Internacionalna agencija za istraživanja raka, su priznale kako mobilna telefonija zaista uzrokuje rak, te su zračenje iz mobilnih telefona stavili u 2B rizičnu skupinu za ljude.
  • U istraživanju koje je objavljeno 2008., godine je otkriveno kako su trudnice i njihova nerođena djeca posebno osjetljiva na zračenje iz mobitela. Znanstvenici su analizirali 13 tisuća djece i otkrili su kako je zračenje iz bežične tehnologije uzrokovalo brojne probleme za vrijeme trudnoće te da je na koncu povećalo rizik od poremećaja koji izazivaju hiperaktivnost, nedostatak pažnje, probleme s emocijama, stvaranjem i održavanjem veza s ljudima i druge bihevioralne anomalije. Rizik je postajao još veći ako su djeca koristila mobilne telefone prije navršene sedme godine života. Sve trudnice koje su koristile mobilne telefone su imale 54% povećan rizik od različitih fizičkih i psihičkih anomalija u zdravlju i razvoju njihove djece.
  • U nedavnim istraživanjima se potvrdilo kako su djeca, pa čak i ona nerođena u najvećoj opasnosti od zračenja uzrokovanog bežičnom tehnologijom i mobilnim telefonima.
  • osobe koje su počele koristiti mobitel kao tinejdžeri imaju 400-500% veću mogućnost od razvijanja raka mozga u dobi od 20-te do 30-te godine.
  • U znanstvenom istraživanju koje je objavljeno 2009., godine se pokazalo kako nošenje mobitela u džepu hlača uništava kosti karlice, točnije stvara osteoporozu. Muškarci koji su nosili mobitele okačene o opasač ili unutar džepa od hlača su unutar šest godina ove prakse izgubili gustoću kostiju karlice.
  • RF-EMR (radio frekvencije i elektromagnetsko zračenje) bez obzira na jakost i frekvenciju mobilnih telefona, uništava mitohondrijsku generaciju kisika unutar ljudskih spermija, na taj se način smanjuje njihova pokretljivost, dok s druge strane uništava DNK i fragmentira je. Ovo istraživanje ima jasnu implikaciju o tome koliko je opasno korištenje mobilnih telefona za muškarce koji imaju namjeru imati djecu. Mobiteli potencijalno utječu na plodnost muškaraca i zdravlje njihovih potomaka.

The online copyright war: the day the internet hit back at big media | Technology | The... - 0 views

  • he internet has changed the world so much that current legislation is not adequate, said Wales. "
  • " If, for example, someone uploads a video of their child's birthday party and then finds it has been deleted because a copyrighted song is playing in the background, "that's not piracy. That's how we use our music these days," says Wales. "A lot of what people want to do now is not legal but should be legal. We can say that and still be against full-scale piracy."
  • I think we are at a point where we are asking whether you really need a film industry for a film to be made or a music industry to make music. People can now speak directly to their audiences,"

Kim Dotcom announces Mega, successor to Megaupload | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • Kim Dotcom, founder of the banned Megaupload filesharing site, has announced a new version called Mega designed to sidestep the American laws under which he is being prosecuted for £175m worth of alleged online piracy, racketeering and money laundering.
  • The site would not use US-based hosting companies as partners in order to avoid being shut down by US authorities, Dotcom said.
  • Megaupload was shut down in January 2012 when New Zealand police helicopters swooped into Dotcom's mansion outside Auckland to seize computers and other evidence at the request of US authorities.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Users of Mega would be able to upload, store and share photos, text files, music and films, encrypt those files and grant access using unique decryption keys, Dotcom said. "You hold the keys to what you store in the cloud, not us," a statement on the Mega website said.
  • Ensuring that files are not pirated will be the job of content owners, a major change from Megaupload, which the US film industry says ignored illegal content and profited from it.

Kim Dotcom in his own words | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • On how Mega differs from MegauploadThere are quite a few innovations that Megaupload didn't have. For example, we have built in upload-download acceleration in the browser, which is technology that only became available nine months ago. We have on-the-fly encryption to protect our users' privacy – because of my own experience having been spied on, and also throughout the proceedings, the US government looking into the files of users, without a warrant …
  • I think privacy is a very important topic, and more important today for users than ever, because you read about all these privacy violations, and reaching out from companies like Facebook and Instagram, and expanding their rights on what should be yours. We want to create a service that gives you fully automated, real-time, one-click, on-the-fly privacy.
  • I see myself in a role now of someone who has been put in this impossible situation, and I'm not only fighting just for myself but for the rights of everybody.
