Free Culture topics in News from around the world. February. Free Culture news around the world: - United States: Restating the obvious with facts. The Coverity Scan: 2011 Open Source Integrity Report, which can be found here, highlights how Open Source code is of higher quality than Proprietary software. The average density of defects per one thousand lines of code for Open Source software is 0.64, where as for proprietary software is 1.0. Coverity analysed 37M line codes from 45 important open source projects. - Europe: The European Union has doubts and concerns over Google change in privacy policy. So, since yesterday Google achieved what the EU wanted/wants with Indect – an online identity of users recording all actions done by a user across all Google services. The key of the vault is Gmail, so your personal and possibly business life, then YouTube, so what you watch, what you have watched what you have uploaded and liked. Then Google documents, so what you work on. Google search engine, so what you searched for what links you clicked on. This magic world of tailroed advertisement and mass not anoymous information gathering is a threat to privacy and different aspects that govern a persons life. The Guardian talks about it here. The assurance or security of better search results, more effective advertisement and more accurate recommendations is not worth the consolidation of an user online activties and the replication of a person identity through an unavoidable and hydroid creature more effective and pervasive than our own shadows. Giant internet companies like Google Apple Facebook should have user elected representatives to protect and advocate the users rights, it is time for web democracy in the real position of powers(ie where code gets written) in today’s online world. Not to mention that if you have an Android phone you need a Google account to operate it, so everything will be recorded and nothing forgotten. There-must-be-greater-accountability-and-transparency! - South Korea: Korea Telecom, the main ISP in Korea is dealing with network neutrality. KT recently blocked Samsung’s SmartTV software from accessing its pipes saying that it should pay for the huge amount of bandwidth this service consumes. After a couple of days of talks the access to SmartTV was restored, but KT relaunched the idea that big data eaters like YouTube should pay for using their pipes. Ironically, these pipes have already been paid for by each customer accessing the service, so taxing websites(regardless of how gigantic they are) for the user accessing them is not only redundant but it would discriminate against smaller ones which are growing quickly and don’t have the bandwidth and resources to fulfill this request and it would also create a dangerous precedent. The pipes which physically deliver the web are like the ones which carry water. If you buy a pool, you pay for the water to fill it up. It seems only absurd that the water company goes banging on the door of the company making the pool demanding compensation for all the water consumed to fill the tank. - Germany: Library.nu providing thousands of eBooks – most thought to be copyright infringing – for free download was shut down by a court in Munich. Given and admitted that the copyright infringing issue must be addressed and sanitized, it is evident that access to culture has been restricted in the same way that eBook readers make it difficult to share digital copies of the book you have legally purchased. Proprierty is essential and consequently copyright is necessary, but used as a hammer crushing the free exchange of culture, whether in the form of books or movies makes the world every day a bit gloomer and more arid. Article from the Huffington Post here - United States: Facebook’s timeline is a great idea. It makes it so much easier to search in a users content back to the first post someone made on Facebook. It creates a beautiful chronological story for companies, allowing them to show their history from the initial founding act to today, just take a look at Cocacola or the NYT page, great! Very informative and delivering an entertaining user experience, it might not be good for users itself. As a friend of mine said last night while discussing the topic, “if three years ago someone posted on my wall or tagged me somewhere that I might not necessarily like now it was more or less ok. Before finding the specific post it would take hours to go all the way back to that exact entry, with Timeline that same post can be found in a matter of clicks, so now I have to be worried about something that was published years ago.” Great for companies, not so much for users, but as long as there is the option not to activate Timeline, the situation is still manageable. But it must be the user’s choice, not a default action. Related articles - Smart TVs cause a net neutrality debate in S. Korea (gigaom.com) - Actually, Open Source Code Is Better: Report (pcworld.com) - Why Should You Start Using Free Software? (techie-buzz.com) Why students protest ACTA? Because of everything, the way it was signed (first by not telling anybody interested about it, enforced by big companies, never consulted with anybody representing either internet providers or users or smaller companies, anything, just ‘the big rich ones’), the fact it was a lie from the beginning, that we weren’t the last to sign, then that nobody cared if there are protests or not, because they just signed not caring it harms even basic human laws and it’s against EU law. Because generally watching for example american tv series, japanese comic books for free in original lang was legal in poland until it was bought by polish company/television and translated, now it won’t be legal, and young people are usually addicted to tv series and watching them 5 mins after they have tv premiere in usa (but it’s not a main and most important reason, just one of similar). It’s not only about internet, it’s about medicines that are extremely expensive, especially for old and/or very sick people here, so they were always made such medicines that have same things inside and working in same way, but different name and brand and 10 times less expensive – now it’s illegal, same with all the parts and fillings of things that don’t need to be original, printer’s ink, car parts, anything, can be either original or none, so both companies that were always producing such things will have problems now, and people using it, because it would make everything not exist, because they punish websites for letting users put on them anything illegal, so controlling users or stopping existing, because it doesn’t protect ‘little’ producers, like graphic designers, photographers, programmers doing something own – so it’s not about anti-piracy or using not own things, it’s about letting big companies that have money, threathen people and blackmail them (“you seem to have downloaded something.mp3 that wasn’t yours, pay 1mio$ or you wll have serious problems, we have all your data from your isp”) – bypassing court, only assuming someone really did this thing. By Paulina, a Polish Computer Science student from Warsaw. Part of a longer conversation on ACTA, the Internet and crowded places.

Fortunately, amid widespread campaigns from the internet community, these proposals have been put on the shelf (for now). Unfortunately, ACTA, an international agreement on intellectual property which would have similarly disastrous effects on the open internet (as well as on access to life-saving drugs, educational materials, knowledge and culture), is currently being pushed through the EU. Official negotiations started in 2008, but have been mired in secrecy (despite details about the negotiations being revealed in a 2008 Wikileaks dump).

In a cozy elevator ascending to the second floor a girl I know asked me if I knew about the anti-ACTA protest happening that same afternoon. I said no, she said that some people were going, obviously I went as well. On Megavideo from around the world This is a short collection of posters and banners that I found on my Facebook News ticker after Megavideo was brought down. In no way this gallery wants to promote infringing copyright or present the view of all the SFC movement, it is just a reflection on the global impact of the take down. Enjoy! Read more » Megavideo and Megaupload taken down by US government, millions lose access to culture. Tomas Milianis an actor of Italian B-movies of seventies and eighties. He is a police inspector in a turbulent Rome, where criminal activity, political terrorism and old Fiat cars are the background for his enquiries and investigations. Over the years these have become cult movies sometimes shown by linear TV channels in the summer, late at night. Despite the actual movie is a vernacular for low level sex jokes, improbable car chases and questionable outfits, it undeniably shows a part of Italian history and mentality. It is also an opportunity to see how the city looked back then. There are around 10/15 films in this series and only a small part, maybe 1/3 of them can be found on Amazon. The rest are somewhat hidden in cinema studios, or locked up in some old VHS format or stuck in late night summer broadcasting schedule. There is currently no opportunity to get a hold of them. The solution came Read more » An open internet as an economic and cultural driving force Last week the longest Italian government fell under the inadequacies of the prime minister and the current economic crisis. Without commenting the actual decadence of the last media emperor in Italy, a new government has been formed to carry out the measures to bring Italy back on a secure track, avoiding it falling out of the Europe, insolvency which would cause similar problems as in Argentina a few years ago and give back confidence to markets. The newly appointed technical government, by banker and university director Mario Montiis seen as the only hope to revive a stagnating and static economy. How this rebirth should be exactly carried out is still unknown, but Read more »

KT bac le déanaí Samsung SmartTV bogearraí ó rochtain a fháil ar a chuid píopaí a rá gur chóir é a íoc as an méid ollmhór bandaleithead ídíonn an tseirbhís seo. Tar éis a bhí athchóirithe cúpla lá de chainteanna leis an rochtain ar SmartTV, ach KT athsheoladh an smaoineamh gur chóir sceanra sonraí móra cosúil le YouTube íoc as a n-úsáid a bhaint as píopaí. Ironically, na píopaí a bheith íoctha cheana féin ag gach custaiméir rochtain a fháil ar an tseirbhís, agus mar sin láithreáin ghréasáin cáin a ghearradh (is cuma conas a gigantic bhfuil siad) don úsáideoir teacht orthu nach bhfuil ach iomarcach, ach bheadh sé idirdhealú in aghaidh cinn níos lú atá ag fás go tapa agus go Don ' t bhfuil an bandaleithead agus acmhainní seo a chomhlíonadh a iarraidh agus a bheadh sé a chruthú chomh maith fasach a bheith contúirteach.

Airteagal as an Phoist Huffington anseo - Tá amlíne Facebook an smaoineamh iontach: Stáit Aontaithe. Déanann sé i bhfad níos éasca é sin a chuardach ar ábhar úsáideoirí ar ais go dtí an duine éigin chéad phost a rinneadh ar Facebook. Cruthaíonn sé scéal álainn cróineolaíoch do chuideachtaí, ag ligean dóibh a thaispeáint agus a stair ó ghníomh bunaitheach tosaigh go dtí lá atá inniu ann, a ghlacadh ach le breathnú ar Cocacola nó an NYT leathanach, iontach! An-fhaisnéiseach agus a sheachadadh ar an taithí úsáideora siamsúil, ní fhéadfadh sé a bheith go maith do úsáideoirí féin.
