    Die Sonntagszeitung malt heute schwarz: Schweizer Strafermittler und das Departement für Umwelt, Verkehr und Kommunikation (Uvek) prüfen den Einsatz von Spionagesoftware zum Abhören von Internettelefonaten. Telecomfirmen und Internetanbieter sollen die als Trojaner bezeichneten Programme auf die PCs von Verdächtigen transportieren, um bei VoIP-Gesprächen mitlauschen zu können.

Megapanzer Bundestrojan/Superintendent trojan carrumba July 15 09 - 0 views

  •  
    So hereby I want to announce that the code which was/is known as Swiss Bundestrojan/Superintendent trojan variant will be free, open, available and accessible to anyone who respects the GPL, and who is interested in the structure and construction of trojan horses and who is also curious what the root of all the rumours was.

Superintendent Trojan [Bundestrojaner in D] - News - The H Security: News and features - 0 views

  •  
    Whilst listening in on normal telephone calls over landlines or mobile phone networks has become a routine procedure, Voice over IP connections frequently present a problem for investigators, especially when the persons being monitored use Skype via foreign servers or call direct from PC to PC and encrypt their data. The Swiss Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (UVEK) is therefore examining the use of spy software to allow it to listen in on conversations on PCs.

Groklaw - The i4i v. Microsoft Orders and Permanent Injunction - Updated - Aug 12 09 - 0 views

  •  
    I have the court documents for you in the i4i v. Microsoft case, the judgment, the permanent injunction, and the memorandum and order, which explains the legal reasoning in support of the order. I also got for you the original complaint by i4i, Microsoft's answer with counterclaim, and i4i's reply to the counterclaim, so you can understand what it was all about. The law firm that won has put out a press release. Microsoft, of course, will appeal. It has 60 days to do so. You probably think I am delighted. I am not. I hate software patents. And this is precisely why. It is karmic that this happened to Microsoft, who bullies Linux with patent threats and just got an XML patent of its own on August 4th that could, presumably, be used against the entire market. How stupid do we have to be to grant patents on software? On software *standards*? This is what happens. Now do you see it?

Microsoft's Word Patent Woes May Be Broadly Shared - Brian Prentice, Gartner, Aug 12 09 - 0 views

  •  
    Few things must be more emotionally paradoxical for the anti-patentistas of the world than to see Microsoft get clobbered on a patent infringement action. Do you rejoice because one of the great advocates, and enforcers, of software patents has gotten a strong dose of their own medicine? Or do you fret at yet another example of a patent system gone mad?

DAISY Consortium Releases Obi 1.0 - Open Source Accessible Multimedia Authoring Tool - 0 views

  •  
    Obi, an open source audio recording tool released by the DAISY Consortium, enables a broader audience to produce accessible, navigable information for people with print disabilities. DAISY audio books created with Obi can be produced with chapters, sections, sub-sections and pages, providing navigation to the content. Obi is fully accessible through assistive technologies such as screen readers. In addition, Obi reduces the time required to work with sophisticated production tools and significantly reduces tool costs that may create barriers for some.

The American Textbook Accessibility Act | Christopher Dawson July 28 09 | ZDNet.com - 0 views

  •  
    I'm working on a story to actually assess the state of development among big-name textbook publishers and will have more soon on that. For right now, though, it's quite clear that we have a very long ways to go. While a lack of content is a major issue, perhaps a bigger issue is the lack of standards via which the content can be disseminated. Obviously, DRM is a serious problem for textbooks. Copyright aside, though, there are currently around 30 formats in which e-books are published. If you're Pearson, into which basket will you be throwing all of your eggs? Frankly, there is only one that I see that makes a lot of sense right now. EPUB, developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum, is open, XML-based, and can grow as our needs increase. Even this format, though, needs traction with major publishers.

…My heart's in Accra » Alex MacGillivray explains the Google Books settlement - 0 views

  •  
    Alex explains that the goal of Google Books was to make books easier to find. He references an article in the New York Times in which librarians lamented that people were only searching online materials, not printed books. He references a story in which a research assistant was asked by Larry Lessig to come back with "everything Senator X said about topic Y" and returned only with results after 1996… which is to say, only results from the web.

Main Page - Google Books Settlement Open Workshop - An Open Workshop at Harvard Law School - 0 views

  •  
    The proposed Google Book Search settlement creates the opportunity for unprecedented access by the public, scholars, libraries and others to a digital library containing millions of books assembled by major research libraries. But the settlement is controversial, in large part because this access is limited in major ways: instead of being truly open, this new digital library will be controlled by a single company, Google, and a newly created Book Rights Registry consisting of representatives of authors and publishers; it will include millions of so-called "orphan works" that cannot legally be included in any competing digitization and access effort, and it will be available to readers only in the United States. It need not have been this way.

EPIC - Google Books Settlement and Privacy (and other issues) - 0 views

  •  
    In 2005, the Authors Guild filed a lawsuit against Google arising from the Google Books project. In October 2008, the parties announced a proposed settlement. Academics and rightsholders have criticized the Settlement terms on grounds ranging from antitrust to privacy. The Settlement sets forth non-privacy terms, including provisions regarding royalties and book advertising, in great detail. However, it does not contain meaningful privacy protections for readers or authors. Various entities and individuals have filed comments, objections, and amicus curiae briefs concerning the proposed settlement.

Almansi: Objections to the Google Book Search Settlement -scribd - 0 views

  •  
    I am putting my letter of objections to the Google Book Search Settlement on SCRIBD as an encouragement to the many authors who are directly hit by this Settlement and don't like it, to also object formally - even though the Settlement is very complex and if they possibly have scarce familiarity with law - like me. Because this is precisely one of the many problems of this Settlement. For explanations on how to object, see FAQ "24. How can I object to the Settlement?" on www.googlebooksettlement.com , the site of the Settlement.

The Kindle experience: this must be a nightmare (Lessig Blog) May 19 09 - 0 views

  •  
    So I buy a Kindle book for my Kindle 2. It downloads to my machine. I open up the book -- it has no relation (except the relation of "not") to the book I ordered. Three emails, 4 days later, Amazon has still not responded to the problem. I wonder how they begin to discover/fix such a problem.
