Download Revolution Busted
July 1, 2008
Thomas Mennecke
There’s an ominous shift in the copyright enforcement tactics used by the entertainment industry. While BitTorrent busts seem to come cheap these days, a significant number of the entertainment hungry populace have abandoned this protocol in exchange for file-sharing communities that use upload sites such as MegaUpload.com and RapidShare. Such was the case for DownloadRevolution.net, where nearly 30,000 individuals traded prime entertainment in a forum environment.
The diversification of file-sharing towards centralized, upload based websites like RapidShare has its benefits. Because these sites are download only, there is little concern for the end user. Downloaders have historically faced virtually no enforcement action – an action generally reserved for uploaders. Secondly, there are no upload bandwidth considerations, allowing the end user to download rather large files without consuming tremendous amounts of bandwidth. And because the files are stored in a centralized repository, there’s often times little concern whether the file will download in a manageable amount of time. Like Usenet, if the file is viable, it will download as fast as the end user’s download speed.
These incentives have driven many individuals away from BitTorrent and P2P and towards centralized resources such as DownloadRevolution.net and Usenet. However this convenience comes at a price. Today, Italian police raided the home administration of DownloadeRevolution.net, arresting 4 individuals. According to one translated Italian report, 3 of the 4 individuals were “children”, however, their ages weren’t divulged. The raid on the administration’s home resulted in the seizure of 17 computers, 3 external hard disks, 1 memory card, 486 CD-ROMs and DVDs and, according to the difficult to read translation, about 5,700 unauthorized duplications. According to the police and the prosecution, their investigation revealed that over “6,405 works protected by copyright between music files, videos, games, software and various movies” were traded, most of which were music files.
The raid and closure of DownloadRevolution.net highlights the benefits and deficiencies of P2P networking. Although P2P and BitTorrent can be slow at times, its decentralized nature ensures its longevity. Centralized trading sites like DownloadRevolution.net can provide blazing speeds and near-guaranteed downloads, however, once the head is cut, the remaining community loses its cohesion. DownloadRevolution.net is gone forever, yet the desire for entertainment isn’t going anywhere.

WASHINGTON - Silent on central questions of gun control for two centuries, the Supreme Court found its voice Thursday in a decision affirming the right to have guns for self-defense in the home and addressing a constitutional riddle almost as old as the republic over what it means to say the people may keep and bear arms.
The court's 5-4 ruling struck down the District of Columbia's ban on handguns and imperiled similar prohibitions in other cities, Chicago and San Francisco among them. Federal gun restrictions, however, were expected to remain largely intact.
The court's historic awakening on the meaning of the Second Amendment brought a curiously mixed response, muted in some unexpected places.
The reaction broke less along party lines than along the divide between cities wracked with gun violence and rural areas where gun ownership is embedded in daily life. Democrats have all but abandoned their long push for stricter gun laws at the national level after deciding it's a losing issue for them. Republicans welcomed what they called a powerful precedent.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, straddling both sides of the issue, said merely that the court did not find an unfettered right to bear arms and that the ruling "will provide much-needed guidance to local jurisdictions across the country." But another Chicagoan, Democratic Mayor Richard Daley, called the ruling "very frightening" and predicted more violence and higher taxes to pay for extra police if his city's gun restrictions are lost.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain welcomed the ruling as "a landmark victory for Second Amendment freedom."
The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
The basic issue for the justices was whether the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia, a once-vital, now-archaic grouping of citizens. That's been the heart of the gun control debate for decades.
Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia said an individual right to bear arms exists and is supported by "the historical narrative" both before and after the Second Amendment was adopted.
President Bush said: "I applaud the Supreme Court's historic decision today confirming what has always been clear in the Constitution: the Second Amendment | ... [Read More]

New Ethanol Studies: Little Effect on Gas Prices, Significant Pressure on Food
Economists Argue Ethanol Mandates Costly to the U.S. Economy
WASHINGTON, June 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two studies released
today show that federal ethanol mandates have placed significant pressure
on food prices, while any effect on gasoline prices has been "almost too
small to measure."
Dr. Thomas Elam of FarmEcon LLC, and Keith Collins, former chief
economist of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, submitted their new
analyses to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Today is the end of
EPA's public comment period on a request from Texas Gov. Rick Perry to
partially suspend the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) in light of serious
economic harm caused by the current policy.
"The 2008/2009 increase in fuel production made possible by the RFS is
almost too small to measure against the global energy market, but the
effects on food prices and security are huge," Elam notes. "The U.S.
government should re-examine and reduce the RFS in light of the damage it
can do to our food production capacity and the overall welfare of the
country."
Elam's study concludes that ethanol actually has had little effect on
gas prices -- only about 4 cents per gallon.
Elam: Maintaining RFS would be "devastating"
Dr. Elam's study also describes the expected impact of crop shortages
on commodity and food prices if congressional food-to-fuel mandates remain
at their current levels. The study concludes that maintenance of the
current RFS in light of recent flooding in the Midwest would prove
"devastating" to livestock and poultry farmers and would increase the
burden of food prices for American consumers.
Elam's study, entitled "Biofuel Support Costs to the U.S. Economy: The
Key Role of the RFS in a Feedstock Shortage Scenario," investigates two
distinct scenarios: one in which there is crop damage and the RFS remains
in place, and one in which there is crop damage but the RFS mandate is
reduced by 50 percent.
"Maintenance of the current RFS schedule in the face of a smaller 2008
corn crop will be devastating to meat, dairy and poultry producers," Elam
wrote. "Consumers will suffer as food and fuel costs rise and supplies of
corn-based foods diminish. The overall economy will be damaged from higher
inflation and lost jobs in the food production sector."
A recent Goldman Sachs analysis predicted that 2-4 million acres of
corn may be lost in the wake of the Midwest flooding. The USDA is expected
to provide a detailed estimate of losses in the... [Read More]

George Carlin mourned as a counterculture hero
By KEITH ST. CLAIR
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Acerbic standup comedian and satirist George Carlin, whose staunch defense of free speech in his most famous routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" led to a key Supreme Court ruling on obscenity, has died.
Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, went into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. He had performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. He was 71.
"He was a genius and I will miss him dearly," Jack Burns, who was the other half of a comedy duo with Carlin in the early 1960s, told The Associated Press.
Carlin's jokes constantly breached the accepted boundaries of comedy and language, particularly with his routine on the "Seven Words" — all of which are taboo on broadcast TV and radio to this day.
When he uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested on charges of disturbing the peace, freed on $150 bail and exonerated when a Wisconsin judge dismissed the case, saying it was indecent but citing free speech and the lack of any disturbance.
When the words were later played on a New York radio station, they resulted in a 1978 Supreme Court ruling upholding the government's authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language during hours when children might be listening.
"So my name is a footnote in American legal history, which I'm perversely kind of proud of," he told The Associated Press earlier this year.
Despite his reputation as unapologetically irreverent, Carlin was a television staple through the decades, serving as host of the "Saturday Night Live" debut in 1975 — noting on his Web site that he was "loaded on cocaine all week long" — and appearing some 130 times on "The Tonight Show."
He produced 23 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, three books, a couple of TV shows and appeared in several movies, from his own comedy specials to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" in 1989 — a testament to his range from cerebral satire and cultural commentary to downright silliness (and sometimes hitting all points in one stroke).
"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?" he once mused. "Are they afraid someone will clean them?"
He won four Grammy Awards, each for best spoken comedy album, and was nominated for five Emmy awards. On Tuesday, it was announced that Carlin was being awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which will be presented Nov. 10 in Washington and broadcast on PBS.
Carlin started his career on the traditional nightclub circuit in a coat and tie,... [Read More]
