postheadericon HBO's PunchForce hits the FCC, turns fists into data... violent, violent data

PunchForce

HBO has been quietly working on its technology PunchForce about 2010, when he tried to convince the British star Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana Argentine boxer using the sensors for the welterweight title fight. Neither seems particularly worried. Now, however, more than a year later, the latest technology in the handle seems to come in its infancy. Small wireless monitors, worn on the wrist of the glove and data flow rate impact on a laptop with a special receiver, all of which have already been approved of Uncle Sam The real fun is what happens next. The information collected is not intended to be locked into the lab, which will be broadcast to viewers throughout the fight and eventually feed the attached application, no doubt, with their PunchZone statistics. Check out the gallery below for a look behind the scenes PunchForce and click on the link to the source to read the complete user manual.

postheadericon Swiss satellite being sent to clean up the mess in outer space

A depiction of CleanSpace One, closing in on an expired picosatellite



NASA currently controls approximately 17,000 pieces of space debris orbiting the Earth at extremely high speeds. These bits and pieces are composed of elements such as dead satellites, rocket stages and pieces that were paid from the spacecraft. As the amount of waste increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to harness space to avoid hitting him. When collisions occur, the satellite is often destroyed, with the resulting debris would be added to the problem. Scientists at the Swiss Institute of EPFL research, however, decided that enough is enough - they are currently developing a small satellite called CleanSpace One, which will process obsolete satellites and pulling them towards Earth. ..

postheadericon EU Court Of Justice Says Social Networks Can't Be Forced To Be Copyright Cops

Few months ago we noted that the European Court of Justice ruled that ISPs can not be required to implement a filtering system designed to detect a violation of copyright. The case of Belgium piracy organization / collection agency SABAM, who had demanded that a local ISP filter reached proactive. Apparently, this strategy SABAM is not limited only to the ISP, but also made similar efforts against online sites and social networks, including local social network Netlog. This case follows a similar path, and now the European Court of Justice issued a similar decision by noting that an online site can not be required to proactively monitor for crimes affecting the rights, because many other . The statement of the court (pdf) is worth reading:


In the main proceedings, the injunction requires the installation of a filtration system would control all or most of the information stored by the service provider Hosting concerned, in the interests of copyright holders. In addition, monitoring should not be any limitation in time, going to all offenses in the future and intend to protect not only existing works but also works that have not yet been created in the moment where the system is introduced. Therefore, as a court order would result in a serious violation of freedom of Netlog to carry out its activities, as Netlog need to install a complex, expensive system, permanent equipment, on their own.

In addition, the effects of this injunction is not limited to Netlog, since the filtration system may also violate the fundamental rights of service users, to know their rights the protection of personal data and freedom to receive and impart information - which are rights guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. First, the injunction involve the identification, analysis and systematic processing of information related to profiles created in the network, information protected personal data, in principle, allows users to identify themselves. Second, that the injunction would undermine the freedom of information, the system could not distinguish between illegal and legal, with the result that its introduction could lead to the blockage of legitimate communications.



Consequently, the response of the Court's view, by adopting a precautionary measure that requires the hosting provider to install a filtration system, the national jurisdiction in accordance with the requirement of a fair balance between intellectual property rights on the one hand, and freedom of enterprise, the right to personal data protection and freedom to receive and impart information on the other.

postheadericon DMCA Takedown Service Tells Copyright Companies: 'Adapt Your Business To The New Digital World'

DMCA takedown

Although Figure noticed quite often here at Techdirt - particularly bullies who use the system to remove the material covered by fair use or public domain - the industry s is developed around them is being both in the shadows. This is what makes the site with "Takedown Piracy" self-explanatory name, which is the blog of 1709, so fascinating: it offers a worldview of DMCA takedowns as seen on the other side.

As expected, piracy DMCA takedown notices to sites that believes that maintaining the copyrighted material belongs to their clients. But what is surprising is the extent of the demolition: a recent post on the site talks of "hammering DMCAs these sites", and later give an idea of ??what this means:
Once it became known that [the # 3 adult torrent site] Cheggit was done, and I have at least a removal company, others have started monitoring the site all days after 100s, if not the torrents of 1000 are reported every day.

Since the site was "filled", meaning probably 1000 rivers are also adopted by every day. Doing additional work in this way is the business service center, because it help FAQ explains:

Piracy is rampant and

can sometimes seem like playing Whack-A-Mole. However, in this case, not only is hitting moles with rubber mallets, but we're napalm bombs on the entire field. Part of the success of hacking sites can be attributed to providing a superior experience for users to surf. Although copyright owners do nothing, that the experience will remain high. We interfere with this experience through the introduction of frustration into the mix. If the site owner frustrated by the time he / she spends in the removal of materials or frustration felt shock of not being able to find free content, the frustration is a valuable tool for use in combat against piracy, and we excel in this.

What is fascinating is the recognition that hacking sites offer a "superior experience for users" - from formal offers. This confirms other evidence that what people who use unauthorized sources are really looking for is not free content - because they often have to pay for it - but the convenience offered by these sites.





Which means, of course, are the copyright industries themselves, with their inability to provide such comfort, that help to attract potential customers alternatives. This also implies that if the content companies have managed to make their offerings competitive with pirate sites - that is, even more convenient - they find much of that lost business.
Significantly, this is what the service seems to be advocating piracy Takedown:
While we do our thing, which is able to adapt your business to the new digital world and have the opportunity of new distribution models to flourish.
