• Protesters Hit the Streets Over Australian Internet Censorship Proposals
  Australian digital rights organizations are applauding the high turnout in a country-wide demonstration against proposed Australian internet blacklists. The Electronic Frontiers Australia recently applauded the high turnout for protests against proposed censorship laws that would block access to websites deemed by the government as "inappropriate".

The proposed censorship system would target web material that would be legal in other media. “Australians are unhappy with existing censorship of computer games and films.

• MPAA: Economic Crisis Makes Piracy More Serious
  Afraid economic downturn will mean more people will be looking to save money. With practically every sector of the US economy reeling from the current economic downturn its maddening to learn that Hollywood is trying to to take advantage of the situation by warning "If we dont protect IPR (intellectual property rights), our economic losses will be far worse" than everyone else. Oh really? The MPAA has been double-speaking for years, enjoying record box office ticket sales year after year, but simultaneously lobbying that more be done to stem their rising losses due to piracy and illegal file-sharing. Ive always noted the misguided logic that an illegal download equates to a lost ticket or DVD sale. Nonetheless, MPAA head Dan Glickman is warning that "This is a high priority issue.

• Google and Lessig Vs. The Wall Street Journal - The Network Neutrality Story
  The network neutrality debate just got a little hotter recently over a story published on the Wall Street Journal. A report from The Wall Street Journal has gotten numerous people talking recently. The article says that network neutrality is losing major supporters. One of the prominent figures that the WSJ says is losing support for network neutrality is Google because, allegedly, they are negotiating with internet service providers for preferential treatment. Other claims include Microsoft and Yahoo withdrawing from a coalition to keep the network neutral, that Lawrence Lessig is also "shifting gears" on the subject and that advisers to President Elect Barack Obama who support network neutrality are now changing their views on the subject.

• Hollywood Lawsuit Against ISP for Allowing Piracy to be Heard Tomorrow
  The case where Hollywood is suing an Internet Service Provider for not deterring piracy is starting up tomorrow in court. We have been following the story where Hollywood is suing an ISP for allowing piracy to occur on their networks and today marks the final day before the battle in court. Its already well known that detection and filtering of file-sharing traffic is impractical and impossible by any reasonable measure thanks to an in depth analysis from two seperate studies in different countries, but that doesnt seem to be stopping the major movie studios from basically demanding the impossible. The ISP in question already offered to enrol in the program to prove how flawed it is. Its a case that seems to be echoing lobbying papers made by the MPAA in the United States.

  Being able to increase crop yields by enabling plants to take up nutrients and water more efficiently is becoming increasingly important. Thats where the biological sciences come into play. New research from the University of Bristol has shown how to increase the length of root hairs on plants, potentially improving crop yields, as plants with longer root hairs take up minerals and water more efficiently.

• Reporters Engage in Heated Debate Over Campus File-Sharing Tax
  Last weeks announcement that Warner, one of the big four record labels, would set up a program to legalize campus file-sharing has had some technology reporters sending heated arguments to each other over whether it was a positive move or not. Last week, Warner Music announced a proposal to put a tax on college tuition to allow file-sharing to occur on college campuses. The announcement was definitely big - so big, that reporters from different websites have found themselves sending heated opinion pieces to each other over whether or not this was a good or bad idea. On the one side, Nate Anderson of Ars Technica argued that this was a positive step forward because it would mean the end of p2p lawsuits against college and university students. Adding to the argument is that this move is a radical departure from the previous way of doing things (which is essentially sue everyone) On the other side of the debate is Mike Masnick of Tech Dirt.

  The Kogan, the second phone supporting the Android OS from Google, is scheduled to ship on January 29th, but only 1 1/2 months away, it seems to be getting some tweaks. Since Kogan, as I wrote earlier, is a small online-only outfit, this might lead you to wonder if you should wait until it ships and you see the reviews.

• 60 Year-Old Australians House Raided Over Re-Posting YouTube Clip
  Theres always the passing thought of getting raided for uploading copyrighted works, but over a viral video originally on YouTube? Controversy has taken hold in Australia recently over what happened to a 60 year old man now charged for child abuse. The report comes from the Sydney Morning Herald which says that Chris Illingworth liked a viral video posted on YouTube so much, that he re-posted it on a similar website known as LiveLeak. Apparently, the act of re-posting that particular video was enough to get his house raided by police. Apparently, the video was originally broadcast on US television, but authorities said that since the video was re-posted by an Australian, the Australian is subject to Australian law. Authorities also said that the child was being abused even though the clip depicts the child laughing and smiling by the end of it.

• OiNK Admin Appears Before British Court
  The administrator of OiNK.cd, the once popular private BitTorrent website, as well as five others, have appeared before court recently. No plea has been entered by Ellis. If theres anything that the arrest of the OiNK admin proved, its that making a BitTorrent website private wont make it impenetrable to investigators. It was once thought that a password protected website was a fortress that kept authorities out (and some still think this way today) but if authorities wanted to make an example, they did so in this case.
