Wat een armzalige zinsconstructie en er toch een latijnse uitdrukking in willen verwerken om alzo te trachten geloofwaardiger over te komen.

Soit...

Neemt U even volgende door om alzo 'on topic' te geraken : De Europese Commissie brengt ons CleanIT, de digitale Stasi-spion en politiestaat

Verder merk ik graag op dat U blijkbaar Uw eigen verzinsels graag gelooft.

Ik heb U namelijk meermaals diets gemaakt dat voor de meeste gebruikers de service gratis was en ikzelf heb ze nooit een cent gegeven.

Over film en muziek heb ik ook niet gesproken (nog zo een verzinsel van U).

En itunes WTF ??? Wat is dat ?

Zit U met linux op een appletje ??? Man toch... Ik hoef die appletroep niet (alhoewel de pc's interessant zijn op grafisch en muziekaal gebied), maar gaat U maar verder en geniet maar van Uw iTunes.

@alfa... was ook klaar en duidelijk, blij dat ik er niet meer tijd heb in verloren. Dank U @alfa... oef... een uiterst harde noot.

Ik spreek geen latijn en ik wil het er ook niet in verwerken, 't is precies de pot verwijt de ketel.
Het business model van Megaupload heeft niets met gratis te maken, als ge dat niet verstaat is dat uw probleem.

Gabon wil het Me.ga project niet, dit zonder twijfel dankzij de instructies vanuit de VS want geen enkele overtreding werd vastgesteld. Maar in Gabon stelt men dat cloud computing een cybermisdaad is, BS natuurlijk.

Kim Dotcom beschikt reeds over een alternatief zodat het project waarschijnlijk geen vertraging zal oplopen. Tevens vermeldt hij dat de minister waarschijnlijk in een tijdsmachine naar de toekomst gereisd heeft en de toekomstige misdaden reeds gezien heeft. Pre-crime dus...

Kim Dotcom

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom has hit a roadblock with the launch of his new Me.ga cloud service. The African state of Gabon, which controls the .ga domain, has blocked access to the site.

"The reach of the US & Vivendi: Gabon Minister announced Me.ga domain will be suspended. Calls cloud storage site cyber crime," Dotcom tweeted last night.

Dotcom, however, said he has an alternative domain. "This just demonstrates the bad faith witch hunt the US government is on," he tweeted.

The U.S. government shut down Dotcom's previous service, Megaupload, earlier this year for copyright infringement. The feds are currently trying to extradite Dotcom from New Zealand, where he currently resides. Dotcom is fighting that effort and has denied any wrongdoing.

"US Govt destroys legitimate business, keeps assets frozen, denies access to evidence & prevents users from getting files back," Dotcom said last night.

Gabon is a sovereign state on the west cost of Central Africa bordered by Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and the Republic of the Congo. Dotcom suggested the country was in cahoots with the U.S. "Gabon oil income is 60% of state revenues. Over half of Gabon's crude oil shipments go to the US. We knew that," he tweeted.

Dotcom also re-tweeted a message from a supporter, who questioned how a service that has not yet launched could be deemed criminal. "Gabon Minister used time machine to analyze legality of the future Mega," Dotcom wrote.

The news comes about a week after Dotcom unveiled a preview of Mega, a revamped version of his file-sharing service that will allow users to encrypt their data. It is expected to formally launch in January.

Hollywood viert feest.



Hollywood Reporter - Kim Dotcom's 'Me.Ga' Plan Foiled by Small African Nation
Gabon forbids the Megaupload founder from using their .ga domain.

Ars Technica - Kim Dotcom loses new domain in preemptive strike by government
Me.ga shut down by Gabon, now controlled by one of Dotcom's rivals.

For now, Me.ga is redirecting to the Twitter feed of a group called Omega. Omega is being described as "hackers" in some accounts, although it may have taken over the domain by legitimate means after it was pulled from Dotcom's control. The Twitter feed popped up overnight, with statements like "Say goodbye to me.ga and hello to o.me.ga," and "Of course we will entertain offers from @KimDotcom's enemies in the millions of dollars (or bitcoins) for the me.ga domain." Omega also claimed that "@KimDotcom offered us 1% of Megabox in exchange" for the domain.

Omega's website contains nothing but an image of the Greek letter for which it is named. The group is apparently not a fan of Dotcom's attitude toward copyright laws, saying in another tweet "Ome.ga is the future of music, 100% of the earnings will go to artists." Music labels are not wont to give 100 percent of earnings to artists, either, but Omega said it would like to sell its newly acquired domain to Universal Music Group and donate 10 percent of the proceeds to a youth charity in Gabon.

Hackers , right.


Gizmodo - Now Kim Dotcom’s New Site Me.ga Has Been Hacked, Too
Not only did Kim Dotcom's Megaupload reboot get its domain name seized by officials in Gabon, it seems ‘real pirates' have taken offence to Dotcom, and have hacked his domain to redirect to a group calling themselves ‘Omega‘. What's more, they want to sell it to Dotcom's adversaries. Looks like ol'Kimmy's got a war on his hands.


Dotcom has said that the Gabon domain name seizure won't actually stop Mega launching, as he's got a collection of backup domain names ready to go, but I'll bet he didn't bank on resistance from pirates. Governments, anti-piracy associations, and big media, yes, but pirates? Aren't they all on the same side?


Hollywood Reporter - Megaupload liedje/Video
Megaupload "Mega Song"
Dotcom released a glossy pop video touting his cyber locker service, in which a bevy of recording artists and celebrities — including Kanye West, Sean Combs, will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian — praise Megaupload. The well-produced tune features Dotcom boasting of the service’s 1 billion users, while Combs tells listeners he uses Megaupload “cuz it’s fast.” When the “Mega Song” video went viral, many of those featured quickly disavowed any relationship with Megaupload, saying they were unaware of the company’s business practices.

Slim gezien van die man, zo kan hij een herhaling van het Meguploadverhaal vermijden. Handjes af bemoeizieke FBI, of de beurshaaien bijten ze af!

Maar goed...

Nog leuk :

Mega biedt ook cloudopslag, maar is volgens de oprichter beter beveiligd. In de eerste vier weken zouden al drie miljoen mensen Mega gebruikt hebben. De komende jaren wil het bedrijf ook 'veilige e-mail, chat, bellen, video en mobiele diensten' gaan aanbieden.

Gegarandeerd een nieuw succesverhaal.

[Nr.10]

Het draait bij Mega om encryptie, in de cloud.

Mega's file encryption is not so much to protect users as to protect Kim Dotcom and his company.

With Mega, files are encrypted before they are uploaded, so that Mega staff do not and cannot know what users are uploading and, possibly, sharing.

Mega uses symmetric key encryption in the browser. Every file has its own key, and only the uploader knows what it is. Users can share files, but only if they provide downloaders with the key to decrypt the file.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have somehow managed to get the US government to take over the huge financial burden of policing copyright, instead of them having to finance it out of their profits. They have, along the way, criminalised American citizens.

The US government seized 25 petabytes of data from MegaUpload, some of it private data belonging to its own citizens.

De encryptie beschermt duidelijk niet enkel Kim Dotcom...
Zonder deze 'beveiliging' zouden de gebruikers wel eens opnieuw gevaar kunnen lopen, dat is uiteraard slecht voor de zaken.

Dan gaan we zonder twijfel spoedig overal staatstrojaners zien, zodat ze voor en/of na de encryptie/ontcijfering kunnen meesnuffelen.

The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has recently received a newer version of the "Staatstrojaner", a government spyware. The comparison with the older version, already analyzed by the CCC with the actual Sniffer-code from December 2010, revealed new evidence. Despite the claims of the responsible parties, the Trojan can still be remote-controlled, loaded with any code and also the allegedly "revision-proof logging" can be manipulated. The CCC is calling for a complete waiver of Trojans in pre-trial investigations.

Onder welke wetgeving valt die data?

Een moeilijk onderwerp waarover zonder twijfel heel wat te vertellen valt.
Op de eerste plaats moet U zich afvragen of U die service daadwerkelijk nodig hebt. Ook omvat cloud-computing heel wat toepassingen.

Zo zou U zich ook moeten afvragen, indien het over gevoelige data gaat, wie U betrouwt om deze op te slagen. Bedrijven in de VS bvb vallen onder strenge wetgeving (Patriot Act ea.) en zo bestaan er ook bedrijven die maar al te graag samenwerken met de overheid en zelfs zonder 'court order' belangrijke gegevens van hun gebruikers mededelen, een simpele aanvraag voldoet. Ze doen dat niet steeds, maar toch gebeurt dat regelmatig en de uiteindelijke beslissing ligt bij hunzelf, Microsoft en Google zijn inderdaad schoolvoorbeelden van zulke bedrijven.

Genomen uit voorvernoemde site :

Physical Location and Access Issues

Jurisdictional issues affecting the Cloud are paramount. A number of countries have adopted laws governing where certain types of electronic information may be located, such as the European Union, which prohibits consumer data from being transferred to countries outside the EU without consent unless the data host can meet specific “safe harbor” requirements, a European law enacted in reaction to the extraterritorial application of the U.S. Patriot Act.

In the United States, many states, such as California, have laws which restrict contracting of various state-funded services to vendors located out-of-state, which is hampering the ability of state IT planners to utilize Cloud services. These restrictions are motivated by a variety of policy interests, from ensuring citizen access to data to protecting jobs to promoting in-state businesses with tax payer dollars.

There are also a number of federal laws and associated regulations that can limit Cloud service options. For example, the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) opened the doors to electronic health records but sets strict access and audit requirements on organizations handling personal health data in order to ensure patient access.

U.S. trade law is another area that poses location challenges for companies that sell Cloud-related goods and services to the U.S. government. The Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (TAA) prohibits government contractors from manufacturing products or setting up shop in countries that don’t have trade agreements with United States. In a Cloud context, the law creates unanswered questions about whether the data hosting facility would have to be in a TAA-approved country and/or whether a contracting company located in a TAA-approved country could subcontract data center management to a company in another overseas location. To illustrate the policy dilemma, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia are TAA-designated countries, but India is not.

In October, the Government Accountability Office forced the General Services Administration to reopen a $2.5 federal Cloud computing contract based on a challenge by Technosource Information Systems of Annapolis, Md., and TrueTandem of Reston, Va., to GSA’s requirement that bidders locate their data centers in TAA-designated countries. The GAO essentially concluded that the TAA only requires that bidding companies be incorporated in TAA-designated countries. Although forced to rebid the contract, GSA defended the geographic restriction to TAA-designated countries as a compromise between information security and free trade, arguing that the government has a need to know where its data resides and transits, as well as a need to assure access to the data. Those rationales resonate with many policy-makers and others, who are likely to seek clarification through the legislative process and/or in the courts.

The trade issue becomes particularly significant since other free trade commitments under regional and international trade agreements may also create a legal basis for challenges to geographic location requirements negotiated into federal procurement contracts.

The uncertainty about many of these regulatory requirements, combined with access concerns has prompted several enterprise Cloud vendors to modify their offerings so that they can assure clients that their data is geographically accessible and where it is physically located at all times.

Cloud computing can also raise issues in the context of U.S. controls over the export or reexport of software and technology regulated under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) rules and regulations. Generally, U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) make no distinction between export of physical items and electronic transmission of software or technology when defining what constitutes an “export.” Movement of software across U.S. borders in the Cloud, especially software containing restricted encryption source code, can trigger these U.S. export controls, creating legal obligations and potential liability for Cloud service providers and their customers.

...





Global Competition and the Cloud

Cloud Computing presents tremendous business opportunities for U.S. companies to sell IT products and services globally. Forrester Research has projected the global market for cloud services will grow to nearly $250 Billion by 2020. As U.S. companies position themselves to compete for a share of that market, U.S. laws can hinder their efforts or put them at a competitive disadvantage.

One such example is the U.S. Patriot Act, the law passed post-9/11 that was designed to help support the war on terror in part by giving U.S. intelligence agencies enhanced powers to gather data on suspected terrorists. The U.S. has used the Patriot Act powers in various ways, such as compelling foreign airlines to provide passenger information. Now, non-U.S. Cloud competitors are using the Patriot Act to discourage foreign countries from signing on with U.S.-based cloud providers like Google and Microsoft. The sales pitch asserts that use of U.S.-based cloud services makes your confidential business data accessible to U.S. intelligence agencies under the Patriot Act.

Conclusion

Cloud Computing, like all new technologies that are widely adopted, is socially disruptive. It not only is changing how we live and work, it is also creating legal ambiguities and raising policy questions that require a rebalancing of public interests. Over time, these issues will be resolved in the courts and by our legislatures with the passage of new laws. The speed and effectiveness of the solutions depends, to a significant degree, on how well informed the policy-makers are about the new technology and how it works. This simple fact suggests that technical professionals have an important role to play in actively engaging the policy-process as advisors and advocates at all levels of government.

[Nr.10]

Kim Dotcom:

I think it’s important for the Internet that there is more encryption. Because what I have learned since I got dragged into this case is a lot about privacy abuses, about the government spying on people. You know, the US government invests a lot of money in spy clouds: massive data centers with hundreds of thousands of hard drives storing data. And what they are storing is basically any communication that traverses through US networks. And what that means they are not spying on individuals based on a warrant anymore. They just spy on everybody, permanently, all the time.

My goal is, within the next five years, I want to encrypt half of the Internet. Just reestablish a balance between a person — an individual — and the state. Because right now, we are living very close to this vision of George Orwell and I think it’s not the right way.
