Geolocation software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Internet movie vendors, online broadcasters who serve live streaming video of sporting events, or certain TV and music video sites that are licensed to broadcast their videos of episodes/music videos are permitted to serve viewers only in their licensed territories. By geolocating viewers, they can be certain of obeying licensing regulations.[16] Online casinos must also know where their customers are or risk violating national laws against Internet gambling. Jim Ramo, chief executive of movie distributor Movielink, said studios were aware of the shortcomings going in and have grown more confident now that the system has been shown to work.[17]

Ways to Watch BBC iPlayer Abroad - 1 views

  • iPlayer service by checking the physical location of the Internet provider you are using to connect to the Net

      How does this work? What are the technical terms. (CT)
    • ChunTing Yip
       
      The iPlayer service is able to detect you're IP address or ISP through your network and track down your location. As every area has a different IP, it would be easy to locate. There are IP locaters that allow systems to track physical locations around the world.  Unless you use a proxy server, it would be harder to track down your physical location, as it has no direct route back to your computer.
  • f you've got access to a PC back in the United Kingdom you can make a virtual private network tunnel back to that PC and connect to the iPlayer web site thru that PC, this can cause it to look like you are in the United Kingdom.

      What is substitute? What is VPN? Use technical terms. (Conan)
    • Conan Cheng
       
      A VPN is a private network that uses a public network to connect remote sites or users together. A key feature of a VPN is its ability to work over both private networks as well as public networks like the Internet.

      TOR and Foxyproxy are examples of alternatives for VPN. TOR(The Onion Router), is an online anonymity system keeping user's internet activities from being monitored. Foxyproxy is a a firefox plugin that allows you to add proxies, keeping your ip hidden when you use it.

  • so it is reallly a bargain for those among us who need to watch iPlayer abroad!

      Who are the stakeholders and how are they affected by this technology? (WL)
    • jawwanling
       
      The stakeholders would be the users of BBC iPlayer. Though they are users of BBC iPlayer, but they only can watch the TV at restricted areas. If they want to have access to BBC abroad they would have to search through the internet for TOR or Foxyproxy to provide them with a VPN. This may cause BBC iPlayer to slow down as there are many free users who are using the website too, therefore users of BBC iPlayer may not be able to watch the TV consistently.

  • import lists of tracking sites you want to block entirely
  • imports IE9's Tracker Protection List and builds on Firefox's Do Not Track header, which comes as a simple on or off setting. When turned on, every time you visit a website, Firefox sends a simple standardised message that says "Don't track me."
  • create a whitelist of websites that the user doesn't mind being tracked by. So, for instance, if you are fine with the personalisation at Nytimes.com, you could choose to have your browser not send the anti-tracking header to that site.
  • building on the online ad industry's preferred method of letting users opt out of tracking, which is cookies.
  • by using the Network Advertising Initiative page, but those cookies aren't permanent and if you clear your cookies, the opt-out disappears. Abine's tool makes them permanent and keeps the anti-tracking cookies, even if you clear other cookies.
