			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>EDIT: Olen <a href="http://omglog.com/thomas/archives/6607">avannut</a> kokonaan SSL/https-salatun <a href="https://purjolauta.net">Purjolauta</a>-nimisen kuvafoorumin.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.kuvalauta.fi">Kuvalautaa</a> ajettiin alas <a href="http://www.mbnet.fi/uutiset/index.asp?Uutinen=3000">eilen</a>.</p>
<p>Kuvalauta kuuluu Suomen 200 suosituimman sivuston joukkoon, ja on täydessä sekavuudessaan hyvin mielenkiintoinen <a href="http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan">4chania</a> ja muita japskityylisiä, anonyymejä kuvafoorumeja muistuttava <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_m00t_poole_the_case_for_anonymity_online.html">anonyyminen alakulttuuri</a>.</p>
<p>Kysyin, kuten ilmeisesti moni muukin, lisätietoja alasajosta sivuston ylläpidolta ja sain alleolevan tarjouspyynnön sähköpostitse. Toivottavasti Kuvalaudalle löytyy uusi koti.</p>
<hr /><strong>Otsikko:</strong> Tarjouspyyntö www.kuvalauta.fi sivuston hostaamisesta</p>
<p><strong>Lähettäjä:</strong> Kari Karvonen &lt;kari.karvonen [at] toimii.net&gt; Tiistai, 31 elokuuta, 2010 klo 17:21</p>
<p>Arvoisa bcc spämmin uhki. Lähestyn sinua koska koska minulle on vinkattu että sinulta voisi kysyä tarjousta palvelinhostauksesta.</p>
<p>Olen ylläpitänyt <a href="http://www.kuvalauta.fi/" target="_blank">www.kuvalauta.fi</a> internetsivustoa vuodesta 2008 lähtien. Kuvalauta toimii vanhalla dell powerege 1750 rack-palvelimella (2*Xeon 2.4GHz, 2GB ram, 60GB HD) joka on tällä hetkellä hostattuna paikallisen IT-firman tiloissa rack kaapissa. Nyt paikallinen IT-firma on pyytänyt minua etsimään kuvalaudalle uuden sijaintipaikan.</p>
<p>Kuvalauta sivusto on kävijämäärällä mitattuna melko suosittu ja viestimäärät ovat olleet tuhansia viestejä vuorokaudessa. Vaikka sivuston moderointi on hoidettu mielestäni vapaaehtoisvoimin melko hyvin, viestien joukossa on silti joskus viestiketjuja jotka ovat pahoittaneet joidenkin ihmisten mieliä ja kuvalaudalle jätetyistä viesteistä on tehty rikosilmoituksia. Kun poliisi tutkii rikosilmoitusta, poliisi pyytää oikeuden päätöksen jälkeen palvelimen ylläpitäjältä viestin lähettäjän IP-osoitteen tutkintaa varten. Yleensä virkavalta osaa hommansa ja nämä pyynnöt tulevat suoraan minulle.</p>
<p>Oikeuden päätöksellä olen luovuttanut pyydetyt tiedot, mikäli sellaiset ovat tallessa, ja asiat on hoituneet ongelmitta. Joskus käy niin että virkavalta ei ole osannut selvittää palvelimen ylläpitäjän yhteystietoja. Silloin pyynnöt ovat ohjautuneet IT-firman päällikölle joka sitten joutuu alkaa selvittelemään asioita. Nyt tälle IT-firman pomolle on tullut mitta täyteen ja hän haluaa kuvalautasivustosta erilleen.</p>
<p>Tämän vuoksi pyydän tarjousta <a href="http://www.kuvalauta.fi/" target="_blank">www.kuvalauta.fi</a> sivuston hostaamisesta. Hostaaminen voi olla virtuaalipalvelin tai laitepaikka palvelimelle.</p>
<p>Virtuaalipalvelimen speksejä:</p>
<ul>
<li>Levytilaa 60GB</li>
<li>Muistia 4GB</li>
<li>CPU joku 2005+ vuodelta oleva jossa on vääntöä skaalata imagemagickilla giffejä</li>
<li>Internetyhteys jossa nettikaistaa viikon keskiarvolla noin 7Mbit/s, tilapäisesti purskeissa 100Mbit/s</li>
<li>Kiinteä julkinen IP-osoite</li>
<li>Käyttiksenä Ubuntu server 10.04LTS (tai Debian). Rajoittamaton root oikeus.</li>
<li>Yli 90% sivuston liikenteestä suuntautuu suomalaisten operaattoreiden verkkoihin. Hyvä nettikaista suomeen on tärkeä, internetkaista ulkomaille saa olla ahdas.</li>
</ul>
<p>Mikäli kyseessä on palvelinpaikka niin sitten 2 julkista IP-osoitetta, yksi palvelimelle ja toinen palvelimen rac-etähallintakortille.</p>
<p>Olen valmis maksamaan hostauksesta rahaa. Koska sivusto ei tuota minulle käytännössä mitään ja maksan hostauksen omasta pussistani, haen sen takia hyvää hinta/laatu suhdetta.Jätä tarjous sähköpostitse osoitteeseen <a href="mailto:kari.karvonen@toimii.net">kari.karvonen@toimii.net</a>. Kerro tarjouksessa hinta, sopimusehdot ja milloin palvelu olisi käyttön otettavissa. Jätä tarjous viimeistään torstaihin 3.9.2010 klo 16:00 mennessä. Teen tilauksen yksityishenkilönä, hinnat alv:n kanssa. Pidätän oikeuden hyväksyä tai hylätä tarjoukset kokonaan tai osittain.</p>
<p>Lisätietoja tarjouspyyntöön liittyen saa sähköpostilla osoitteesta <a href="mailto:kari.karvonen@toimii.net">kari.karvonen@toimii.net</a></p>
<hr />Mainittakoon että puoluetoverini ja (ano)nyymi <a href="http://usvi.blogit.uusisuomi.fi/2010/08/03/vihreiden-rastimo-kay-kimppuuni-poliisivoimin/">Janne &#8220;usvi&#8221; Paalijärvi</a> on rikosepäiltynä elokuvaohjaaja Kaisa Rastimoon liittyvästä kuvalauta-kommentista.</p>
<p>Lopuksi ehdotan vielä että lukija katsoo 4chanin perustajan, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan#moot">Christopher moot Poolen</a> <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/christopher_m00t_poole_the_case_for_anonymity_online.html">TED-puhetta</a> anonyymiisuuden kunniaksi. Tämän anonyymisuuden voi vielä harjoittaa suomeksi <a href="http://northpole.fi">Northpolen</a> <strong>(, <a href="https://purjolauta.net">Purjolaudan</a>)</strong> ja <a href="http://lauta.net">Laudan</a> keskustelupalstoilla.</p>

<p>I oktober förra året under <a href="http://www.altparty.org/2009/">AltParty</a> gav jag i <a href="http://www.piraattinuoret.fi/sv">Pirattinuorets</a> namn en intervju åt en grupp journalistikstuderande vid <a href="http://www.abo.fi/public/vasa">Åbo Akademi i Vasa</a>/<a href="http://www.mediacity.fi">MediaCity</a>. Resultatet är att jag dyker upp några gånger i deras slutprodukt , &#8220;Fildelning &#8211; Rätt och Brott&#8221;, som <a href="http://arenan.yle.fi/video/1200891">visades på FST5 igår</a> och förblir synlig på Yle Arenan i några dagar. Dokumentären är till stor del svenskspråkig och textad till finska.</p>
<p>Filmen kan tydligen ses på webben via <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/14118963">Vimeo</a> men kan också laddas ner <a href="http://misc.nybergh.net/pub/video/fildelning-rattighet-och-brott-yle-fst5-2010-08-12T19_45_00.flv">här</a> (flv-filen spelas snällt av <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/">VLC</a> m.fl.) <strong>[ohjelma on tekstitetty suomeksi ja on Yle Areena-näkyyyden loputtua myös nähtävissä <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/14118963">Vimeo</a>-palvelussa tai <a href="http://misc.nybergh.net/pub/video/fildelning-rattighet-och-brott-yle-fst5-2010-08-12T19_45_00.flv">ladattavissa</a> mm. VLCssä toistuvana tiedostona]</strong></p>
<p>Stundvis snuddar dokumentären vid inkoherens och viss presenterad fakta, speciellt siffror hanteras lite vårdslöst. Och i motsats till vad dokumentären mer eller mindre påstår är <a href="http://www.piratpartiet.fi">Piratpartiet</a> inte <a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/ledare/2009/8/31/d31383.php">ett &#8220;fildelningsparti&#8221;</a>, och organisationens kritik av rådande upphovsrätt är inte <a href="http://www.hs.fi/kirjat/artikkeli/Piraatit+avautuvat+aatteestaan/HS20100326SI1KU03fzz">ensidig</a>, vilket tydligt framkommer i essäer på partiets <a href="http://blog.piraattipuolue.fi">blogg</a> och i den i våras utkomna pamfletten <a href="http://blog.piraattipuolue.fi/2010/03/jokapiraatinoikeus-myynnissa-ja-mediassa/">Jokapiraatinoikeus</a>. Dock baserar sig filmen på ett brett intervjumaterial som presenterar olika grunduppfattningar rätt tydligt.</p>
<p>I programmet medverkar också <a href="http://dekaminski.se/">Marcin De Kaminski</a>, <a href="http://www.kasvi.org/index.php?sve">Jyrki Kasvi</a>, <a href="http://www.hs.fi/haku/?haku=Antti+Kotilainen">Antti Kotilainen</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Lillm%C3%A5ns">Mathias Lillmåns</a>, <a href="http://www.marmai.fi/uutiset/article214957.ece">Jarkko Nordlund</a>, <a href="http://pirat.funderar.se">Gabriel Sjölund</a> och <a href="http://www.thobyloth.com">Tobias Tåg</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I recently rented a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server">VPS</a> running a fresh install of <a href="http://www.debian.org">Debian</a>, I thought it was about time to stick with the now default <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode">Unicode</a> locale, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8" target="_blank">UTF-8</a>. Doing this switch in a sensible fashion would include converting often used text files, such as chat logs from the older, more compatible but limited <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-15">ISO 8859-15</a> charset.</p>
<p>(By the way: <a href="http://www.linode.com/?r=1a6b2f3b1d8d45c56752699f0b2e3755964a7cc3" target="_blank">Linode</a>, my VPS host, seems to be <a href="http://hostingfu.com/article/linode-xen-vps-review">awesome</a>.)</p>
<p>My chat client <a href="http://www.irssi.org" target="_blank">Irssi</a> combined with <a href="http://www.openssh.com" target="_blank">OpenSSH</a>, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/" target="_blank">GNU Screen</a> and <a href="http://www.bitlbee.org" target="_blank">Bitlbee</a> provides me with hugely powerful social infrastructure in the form of continuous conversations that can be reached with any SSH client. Add logging and basic Unix tools to the mix and you have a silly fast and simple way of finding stuff you&#8217;ve discussed. In other words: my IRC/Live/Jabber logs are important works of reference and must be kept up to date with the system locale.</p>
<p>I failed to find any directly suitable or functional shell one-liners for this operation, until <a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/tajnyman/" target="_blank">Thomas</a> handed me something that worked for me.</p>
<p>The conversion command later on this page converts all files in Irssi&#8217;s default log location, <code>~/irclogs</code>, and its subdirectories from ISO-8859-15 to UTF-8.  The conversion is performed on the files themselves<strong> </strong>using <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/recode/" target="_blank">recode</a> <strong>in their current location</strong>. Don&#8217;t run with scissors, please do yourself a favor by making a <a href="http://420.thrashbarg.net/jesus_saves_incremental_backups.jpg">backup</a> copy of your precious logs. The most obvious tool for that is perhaps:</p>
<p><code>"cp -r ~/irclogs ~/backup_irclogs"</code></p>
<p><strong>This is <a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/tajnyman/">Thomas</a>&#8216; conversion command:</strong></p>
<p><code>"find ~/irclogs/* | while read i; do echo "Converting $i"; recode ISO-8859-15..UTF-8 "$i"; done"</code></p>
<p><a href="http://www.waino.org" target="_blank">Stig</a> later informed me about <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/" target="_blank">find</a> having exec capablities, but since I&#8217;m lazy and all that, you&#8217;ll have to optimze the above version yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This entry was originally posted as <a href="http://xuenay.livejournal.com/311857.html?thread=1168689#t1168689">a comment on Xuenay&#8217;s blog</a>. Also: doesn&#8217;t LiveJournal support real hyperlinks in comments? Ultra-suckage.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always found Twitter to be a very interesting concept, but I don&#8217;t use the service myself. I find its minimalism compelling, but its terrible at representing conversations or replies. Jaiku on the other hand has a few very appealing mobile location centric features.</p>
<p>As with any blogging systems, it&#8217;s the content that makes the whole thing worth looking at. Some <a href="http://twitter.com/hotdogsladies/statuses/766322414">really</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/hotdogsladies/statuses/866473022">entertaining</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/nostrich/statuses/908547080">writers</a> are currently <a href="http://twitter.com/shoesonwrong/statuses/889895840">using</a> Twitter to post hilarious one-liners &#8211; I follow these with RSS like I&#8217;d do with any blog, without being a registered user.</p>
<p>I use Facebook&#8217;s status feature in an almost Twitter-like fashion, mainly because almost everyone I know already is into Facebook. I&#8217;m very disappointed in FB&#8217;s walled garden-approach: status messages or replies to these, along with other potentially useful things, like posted links, don&#8217;t have obvious unique urls or archive views you can browse back to after some time, and are pretty much not reachable from the outside. It is, however possible to <a href="http://internetducttape.com/2007/08/08/broadcast-facebook-status-rss-filter/">get RSS feeds</a> both of your own and your friend&#8217;s status messages.</p>
<p>As my FB status messages really are something I consider a semi-daily writing exercise, I do want them archived. I save <a href="http://status.nybergh.net">my status messages</a> in a WordPress install I set up together with <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/">Feedwordpress</a> and <a href="http://www.feedburner.com">Feedburner</a>, but this doesn&#8217;t of course save any comments someone may post on FB.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m trying to get at is that microblogging, as a concept, needs to become more mature and standardized, or it will lag behind like instant messaging has done for a decade or so. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMicroBlogging">OpenMicroBlogging</a> and it&#8217;s reference implementation, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconica">Laconica</a> have the potential to revolutionize public discourse on the internet beyond what&#8217;s possible with today&#8217;s already interesting services. Proprietary platforms such as Twitter, Jaiku and Facebook have the advantages of large user bases and cell phone connectivity but they really need to use something like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMicroBlogging">OpenMicroBlogging</a> protocol for cross-service communication to become really useful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enligt Hbl skall <a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/inrikes/2008/6/30/d15036.php" target="_blank">Konstsamfundet satsa på sina tidningar</a> och få dem att gå på vinst även om situationen för närvarande inte utlovar solsken och jordgubbar med vispgrädde och konjak serverade i syrénbersån. Utan att kommentera dagstidningsbusiness som jag inte vet något om gnäller jag gärna om utbudet av svenskspråkiga Helsingforsnyheter på webben. Därav lyfter jag fram föjande del av ovan länkade artikeln:<a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/inrikes/2008/6/30/d15036.php" target="_blank"> </a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I dag gör Hbl en förlust på tre miljoner euro per år. Summan har länge varit rätt oförändrad, men så länge det fanns egna fastigheter och annan affärsverksamhet fick man ihop ett slutresultat som slutade på plus. I dag går det inte längre eftersom egendomen har överförts till KSF Media.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.nybergh.net/stuff/linked/2008/06/camelcase-utrikesministrarna-carl-bildt-och-alexander-stubb-hblfi-2008-05-29.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-146" title="CamelCase-ministrarna Carl-Bildt och Alexander Stubb, Hbl.fi 2008-05-29" src="http://www.nybergh.net/stuff/linked/2008/06/camelcase-utrikesministrarna-carl-bildt-och-alexander-stubb-hblfi-2008-05-29.png" alt="CamelCase-ministrarna Carl-Bildt och Alexander Stubb, Hbl.fi 2008-05-29" width="227" height="117" /></a>Med tanke på att denhär mängden pengar år efter år kan reserveras för nerspolning i toaletten som utgör främjandet av finlandssvensk tillvaro i Helsingforstrakten är det antagligen välmotiverat att undra varför <a href="http://www.hbl.fi" target="_blank">Hbls webbplats</a> är i befintligt skick.</p>
<p>Själva utseendet för Hbl.fi har jag inget emot, men webbversionerna av artiklar innehåller ibland underliga småfel som <a href="http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase">CamelCase</a>-sammanskrivningar (eller <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/BiCapitalization.html" target="_blank">BiCapitalization</a>, beroende på vem man frågar) av personnamn (<a href="http://www.nybergh.net/stuff/linked/2008/06/camelcase-utrikesministrarna-carl-bildt-och-alexander-stubb-hblfi-2008-05-29.png">se bild</a> eller sök efter DavidMiliband eller CondoleezzaRice i <a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/utrikes/2008/5/29/d13965.php" target="_blank">denhär artikeln</a>). Dessutom ges det ut väldigt lite material som inte hör till pappersupplagan trots det är läsarens koncentration och inte spaltcentimetrar man slåss om på webben. Varför inte lyfta fram artiklar från fem och tio år sedan? Var är dagboksinläggen med namnsdagar, födelsedagar, insändarna och kolumnerna samt de enskillda RSS/Atom-strömmarna för dessa? Och hur är det med pressklipp och citat? <a href="http://epaper.hbl.fi" target="_blank">Epaper-facsimil</a> är en fånig idé, jag vill inte öppna en layout gjord för stora pappersark på min datorskärm; jag kanske kunde betala för en tidning, men då skall den minsann vara i läsbart webbsidesformat.</p>
<p>Ett annat riktigt problem är att hbl.fi inte tillåter kommentarer. <a href="http://parkvakten.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Helsingforsbloggen</a> som av någon anledning inhyses på Googles i 2003 kvarblivna Bloggertjänst publicerade inte heller kommentarinlägg senast jag försökte bidra, och kommentarantalet är alltid noll på alla inlägg. På veckobilagan <a href="http://www.volt.fi" target="_blank">Volts</a> sajt existerar kommentarer, men på äkta gammaltidningsvis utan att låta kommentarförfattaren länka till sin hemsida. Nofollow-taggning av länkar, vilket är jävligt fräckt mot kommentarförfattare, är redan en beklaglig standardpraxis på de flesta bloggar, men jag lägger ogärna alls ut mitt namn på webben utan att alls få länka vidare till en relevant hemsida.</p>
<p>Avstängd eller nonexistent kommenteringsfunktionalitet är en fullkomligt horribel miss för en modern nyhetskälla. Även om folkets breda lager i allmänhet <a href="http://keskustelusuomi24.blogspot.com" target="_blank">skriver idiotier</a> och största delen av allt <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law" target="_blank">oundvikligen är skräp</a> så har publicering på Internet, t.ex. i bloggsammanhang visat att distribution av läsarnas synpunkter <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/top/special-lifehackers-guide-to-weblog-comments-126654.php" target="_blank">kan göra en text värdefullare</a>. Om modereringsproblem skulle uppstå är det väl enklast att anställa några gymnasielever och låta dem gå igenom otrevligmärkta kommentarer för skämtlön?</p>
<p>I <a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/inrikes/2008/6/30/d15036.php" target="_blank">artikeln</a> jag citerade ovan nämns också att KSF-gruppens tidningar skall gå på vinst 2011. Jag hör till husis målgrupp och deras RSS-feed är också bland de första jag kollar varje dag, men att jag skulle bidra till Hufvudstadsbladets prenumerationsintäkter är inte sannolikt. Trots min önskan att läsa nyheter på svenska öppnar jag en papperstidning ungefär en gång per månad, så att jag skulle prenumerera på en upplaga av en tidning som skickas hem till mig i dött trä-format inom en snar framtid är en konstig idé. Även om vi för ett ögonblick förflyttar oss till en relativt trovärdigt potentiell verklighet där jag p.g.a. arbetsresor eller dylikt skulle sätta mig ner för att läsa en tidning ter det sig orealistiskt att jag skulle betala för ett medium vars andra läsare jag inte kan föra en konversation med, eller följa med vad andra sagt.</p>
<p>Trots sitt för mig egala geografiska perspektiv är <a href="http://www.vasabladet.fi" target="_blank">Vasabladet</a> tekniskt sett mindre värdelös som nyhetskälla enbart för att deras webbplats tillåter kommentarer. Bland finska webbpublikationer är <a href="http://www.uusisuomi.fi" target="_blank">nya Uusi Suomi</a> en positiv överraskning: webbplatsen är en hyfsad helhet rent tekniskt (<a href="http://drupal.org/node/182244" target="_blank">för övrigt Drupal-baserad</a>) och innehållet är mycket bättre än vad jag förväntar mig av vad som helst för instans som väljer att <a href="http://www.hbl.fi/text/kultur/2007/10/10/d6424.php" target="_blank">poängtera sin fosterländskhet</a>. Bra webbtidningar existerar och jag förstår inte varför just Hbl väljer bort egenskaper som krävs för att vara en av dem.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m against ownership concentration as much as the next guy, but I wonder what pluralism in media policy has to do with blogs putting &#8220;journalists and other media professionals under pressure&#8221;. I don&#8217;t see how regulation of before unseen ways in which potentially independent, anonymous citizens can express themselves could have any effect on privately owned media&#8217;s current ability or inability to act as a &#8220;watchdog for democracy&#8221;.</p>
<p>Do these clowns really believe that biased blogs are anywhere near of becoming as big of a threat to democracy as mainstream media already is in some countries? These MEPs were probably just participating in rituals of verbal incontinence at a press event to celebrate <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5564652" target="_blank">some report they&#8217;ve written</a>, but it&#8217;s always breathtaking to see how any topic related to the Internet is a good platform for letting clueless people sound like insane authoritarians.</p>
<p>Below are the most dubious parts of the <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/public/story_page/058-31021-161-06-24-909-20080605STO30955-2008-09-06-2008/default_en.htm" target="_blank">article</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Weblogs and other new on-line media pose new challenges, say MEPs. The growth of commercial media outlets for user-generated content, such as photos and videos, used without paying a fee, raises problems of ethics and privacy, and puts journalists and other media professionals under pressure, they say.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/file.jsp?id=5564652" target="_blank">report</a> &#8220;on concentration and pluralism in the media in the European Union&#8221; &#8211; drafted by Estonian Socialist Marianne Mikko &#8211; also warns against the concentration of the media in the hands of a few companies because the media is vital to safeguarding democracy. &#8220;The media remains a powerful tool, which should not be treated solely in economic terms,&#8221; she said. The report calls for social and legal guarantees to journalists and editors. It will be put to the vote in the full plenary in the future.<br />
&#8230;<br />
Asked if she considered bloggers to be &#8220;a threat&#8221;, she said &#8220;we do not see bloggers as a threat. They are in position, however, to considerably pollute cyberspace. We already have too much spam, misinformation and malicious intent in cyberspace&#8221;. She added, &#8220;I think the public is still very trusting towards blogs, it is still seen as sincere. And it should remain sincere. For that we need a quality mark, a disclosure of who is really writing and why.&#8221;"</p></blockquote>

<p>Rick Falkvinge, the leader of the Swedish Pirate Party <a href="http://english.rickfalkvinge.se/2008/06/04/more-on-the-ubiquitous-wiretapping-bill/" target="_blank">discusses</a> a wiretapping bill called &#8220;better adapted military intelligence gathering&#8221; that soon may hit hard on the privacy of anyone relying on any electronic communication routed through Sweden.  A few quotes from the post:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At about 20 points in the national information infrastructure network, all traffic is spliced off and fed into the Försvarets Radioanstalt (FRA) agency. These points are placed as to catch all traffic entering and leaving the Swedish borders, but will catch much &#8211; if not most &#8211; domestic traffic too, for technical routing reasons. Electronic traffic, in particular, always takes the scenic route.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The insanity of the bill has been widely commented on by authorities:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;How did the bureaucrats respond [to the bill]? In unusually plain language, actually.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Police Board said that the bill “indicates a frightening lack of understanding for the requirements regarding the protection of citizens’ privacy that follow from our Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights”.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The National Registry Authority replied that this bill “is compatible with neither the Swedish Constitution nor the European Convention on Human Rights. Such an immense expansion of wiretapping of telephony and other forms of communication cannot be legislated under any circumstance.”&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Congratulations, Sweden, you&#8217;ve got <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_general_election%2C_2006">The AIDS of Right-Wing Government</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Pirate Bay blog has a <a href="http://thepiratebay.org/blog/109" target="_blank">recent post</a> where the author claims to have received insider knowledge on why a recent verdict from a Swedish district court (tingsrätt) wasn&#8217;t appealed against by the defendant, a file sharer.</p>
<p>I quote a part of a translation of the text made by the third commenter on the original post&#8217;s page:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re running a site like TPB you often get tips from different people about what&#8217;s happening in those questions of interest to you. Yesterday we got two independent tips from very reliable sources (insiders, as it is called) that the 31 year old man who was convicted to inconditional sentence have got his fines and court costs paid by the copyright lobby &#8211; this to get a precedent. In other words, the copyright lobby have more or less bought it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The eleventh commenter provides what seems like a reasonable explanation:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Actually, in Sweden, the verdict of the lower courts (Tingsrätten) is not considered a precedent. Only a few cases from the Supreme Courts (Högsta Domstolen and Regeringsrätten), the Court of Appeal (Hovrätten) and some special purpose courts ( Migrationsöverdomstolen, Miljööverdomstolen, Marknadsdomstolen and Arbetsdomstolen) is considered precedents. This is one of the differences between a Civil Law system (ie. Sweden) and a Common Law system (ie. England and USA).</p>
<p>So, if these accusations are true, then the copyright lobby has rather ensured that this case does NOT become a precedent (which could turn out catastrophically for them, if the appeal had gone against them). However, what they have succeeded in doing is proving that (suspended) prison time is a possible sentencing for file sharing, which is what they need to get search warrants, even though they can&#8217;t point to this case in future court cases..&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>If this is true, the copyright Mafia hasn&#8217;t exactly made a very surprising choice of tactics.</p>
