One in three Aussie Internet pirates earn more than $100,000 and one in four enjoyed a university education. The results further confirm that pirates tend to be relatively young, with 44% of file-sharers under 30 years of age. Those pesky students! Although just as interesting is the reminder that TV shows are the most-pirated content in Australia, given previous reports that the country leads the world in torrented Game of Thrones downloads. ]]> piracy filesharing https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:233439f62b9a/ 2012-09-05T21:21:05+00:00 http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2012/09/honeytrap-catches-copyright-co.html guardiantechAnyone who has downloaded pirated music, video or ebooks using a BitTorrent client has probably had their IP address logged by copyright-enforcement authorities within 3 hours of doing so. So say computer scientists who placed a fake pirate server online - and very quickly found monitoring systems checking out who was taking what from the servers.

Users add friends by exchanging PGP certificates with people they trust. All the communication is encrypted using OpenSSL and files that are downloaded from strangers always go through a trusted friend. In other words, it’s a true Darknet and virtually impossible to monitor by outsiders. RetroShare founder DrBob told us that while the software has been around since 2006, all of a sudden there’s been a surge in downloads. “The interest in RetroShare has massively shot up over the last two months,” he said. It's serverless, so it's like Limewire and other decentralised networks. But the PGP swapping is going to be a big hurdle; this isn't going to get big in a hurry.]]> filesharing privacy darknet https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:2f43fd00e4e8/ 2012-01-16T20:42:03+00:00 http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/372247/file-sharing-acs-law-solicitor-fined-and-suspended guardiantech acslaw filesharing joshhalliday https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:910a58b5d1c5/ 2011-09-02T08:25:08+00:00 http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/5538576/Labour-about-face-on-three-strikes-net-law#share guardiantech filesharing newzealand copyright joshhalliday https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:2edc23dee6d9/ 2011-08-09T06:27:57+00:00 http://torrentfreak.com/200000-bittorrent-users-sued-in-the-united-states-110808/ guardiantech bittorrent piracy filesharing joshhalliday https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:064fd191fd89/ 2011-05-13T07:40:31+00:00 http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/12/us-limewire-idUSTRE74B78320110512 guardiantech limewire piracy filesharing joshhalliday https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:c0614d2dcee3/ 2011-05-05T13:39:08+00:00 http://www.out-law.com//default.aspx?page=11901&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+out-law-NewsRoundUP+%28OUT-LAW+News-RoundUP%29 guardiantech filesharing piracy digitaleconomyact deact joshhalliday https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:81f2b55ecba0/
