County Suing To Make Sure E-Voting Remains Insecure







County Suing To Make Sure E-Voting
Remains Insecure

County Suing To Make Sure E-Voting
Remains Insecure
05/05/2004 05:10 PM

It appears that the politicians in Riverside County, California are pissed off that the Secretary of State would stoop so low as to to want electronic voting machines to work properly and be secure before they can be used in elections. So, rather than, say, fix up those machines to make them so we can actually trust them, they've decided to sue Secretary of State Kevin Shelley. They don't seem to have come up with an actual reason to sue him, other than that they don't like that they have to put in place security features to make sure democracy works as it's supposed to. The most amusing part is the claim of Riverside County board chairman Roy Wilson, saying that they've run "29 accurate elections" with touch screen voting. That's exactly the problem. No one knows whether or not those elections were accurate, because there's no way to check to make sure the votes were counted properly or that no one tampered with the results. Of course, it seems likely that Mr. Wilson was elected via such touch screens, so it's no wonder he believes in them.

Ban
05/12/2004 06:54 PM
While Riverside County in California decided to sue California's Secretary of State, Kevin Shelley for decertifying electronic voting machines unless they put security measures in place, San Bernardino apparently decided that's too much trouble. Instead, they're just going to ignore the ban. They claim that the Secretary of State gave the approval for the voting machines once and now he can't go back on it. As far as they're concerned the ban never happened.

Suing the Saudis


Suing the Saudis 09/11/2004 03:49 AM
Suing the Saudis The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has decided to join a $7 billion lawsuit that was filed last week by bond brokerage firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 of its employees--two thirds of the firm--in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, which was three years ago today. It looks like they may be gearing up to use RICO: "[The lawsuit said] Saudi Arabia engaged in a pattern of racketeering as it participated directly or indirectly in al Qaida's work through its "alter-ego" charities and relief organisations, which it funded and controlled." Al Qaida is named as a co-defendant, and four Saudis are mentioned by name: the interior minister, the defense minister, the governor of Riyadh, and the British ambassador, all members of the Saudi royal family.

At this point, they're just filing John Doe cases, and hoping to find out who they are at a later date.

Spammer Suing SpamCop


Spammer Suing SpamCop 04/30/2004 04:13 PM
A year ago, a group of spammers anonymously teamed up with a lawyer to sue a bunch of anti-spam groups. After those anti-spam groups fought back, the spammers eventually dropped their case. However, now we've got a similar situation. Scott Richter, the well known spammer behind OptInRealBig, is now suing IronPort, the folks who bought SpamCop last year. He's asking for $1 million in damages, saying that SpamCop has damaged his reputation. Has he given any thought to the idea that sending spam may have damaged his reputation? Among the many charges filed against SpamCop, Richter included Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, Unfair Competition and Interference with Contractual Relationship.

Google Back To Suing Froogles


Google Back To Suing Froogles 04/18/2005 06:48 PM
It seems that Google's trademark lawyers are busy these days. Last year, they were sued by the creators of some children's toys/books called the Googles and that was quickly followed up by a dispute with the guy who ran a shopp ing search engine at Froogles.com, which Google obviously felt competed with their own Froogle.com. The big problem, though, was that Froogles had been around longer than Froogle (whoops!) leading to an arbitration panel letting the guy keep his domain. Google tried to defend their position by noting that Froogles was confusingly similar to Google (not Froogle). This way, they could make the claim that Google had been around longer than Froogles. However, what the arbitration panel doesn't give, perhaps the courts will. An unofficial Google blog is noting that Google has reopened the case -- probably after the guy refused to settle and was holding out for a bigger offer. Once again, though, Google is focusing on the earlier claim that Froogles infringes on Google -- and they go so far as to state that any use of "OOGLE" in relation to search may be considered infringement -- which might be a pretty credible claim. It seems unlikely a company would use "oogle" without there being some confusion with Google.

Suing carriers over locked handsets


Suing carriers over locked handsets 06/09/2004 02:51 AM
A consumer-rights group is bringing suit against US mobile carriers for locking their handsets:
In the lawsuit, the foundation said that because the companies all use the same wireless network standard, called GSM, customers should be able to use the same phone across those carriers' networks just by changing out an easily-replaced unit called a "SIM card" inside the phone.
The carriers may claim that locked handset let them offer cheaper service -- because they keep you from using your subsidized handset with another carrier, but I don't buy it. I got a free T-Mobile handset by promising on pain of an enormous cancellation fee to stick with them for a year. In the meantime, why shouldn't I be able to rent a SIM when I go to Toronto and put it in my phone? Why shouldn't I be able to loan my handset to a friend from out of town so that she can put her SIM in it and log on to her service? Link (via Hack the Planet)

Felten: Why the RIAA is suing Internet2
users


Felten: Why the RIAA is suing Internet2
users
04/13/2005 11:51 AM
Cory Doctorow: Yesterday the music industry announced lawsuits against users of a P2P file-sharing service that's optimized to run on Internet2 links, which are high-speed Internet links that mostly run between universities.

Ed Felten has a brilliant analysis of the strategy in suing Internet2 users: by painting it as a "specialized" network with centralized control, the recording industry can position new rules for Internet2 that will cope with the "new" problem of infringement on I2 links.

Of course, the music doesn't have a new problem on Internet2 -- MP3 copying doesn't need 400 megabit per second links to be effective. The problem of Internet2 P2P is identical to the problem of Internet P2P. But now the music industry can rattle its sabers and threaten the existence of systems optimized to move large files over high-speed links.

Given all of this, my guess is that the RIAA is pushing the Internet2 angle mostly for policial and public relations reasons. By painting Internet2 as a separate network, the RIAA can imply that the transfer of infringing files over Internet2 is a new kind of problem requiring new regulation. And by painting Internet2 as a centrally-managed entity, the RIAA can imply that it is more regulable than the rest of the Internet.

In yet another case where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, it appears that 20th Century Fox, while being involved in the Supreme Court case against Grokster, is also advertising new movies via Grokster adware. It certainly suggests there are some at the company that think Grokster represents a legitimate way to reach consumers -- something the industry keeps insisting is impossible.

Judge Slaps Down Spammer Who Is Suing
SpamCop


Judge Slaps Down Spammer Who Is Suing
SpamCop
06/28/2004 08:02 PM
In the ongoing ridiculousness concerning the spammer who sued SpamCop, a judge has denied Scott Richter's request for an injunction against SpamCop, noting that by simply forwarding on email messages as a complaint, SpamCop is protected via the CDA, which says that service providers aren't responsible for the content sent through their services (the same reason that AOL shouldn't be sued when someone uses their service to do something illegal -- oh, whoops< /a>). However, the judge also went further pointing out that even if they weren't covered by the CDA, she saw no reason to grant the injunction. She said Richter and OptInRealBig failed to prove its case that SpamCop was in any way libeling them, since SpamCop never states that their reports are definitely spam. Also, there was no evidence that the company acted with "malice" against OptIn. The judge also denied Richter's request for emails from SpamCop claiming that giving Richter those addresses would be the equivalent of: "one who either intentionally or unintentionally sends pornography to minors, who then asks for a list of those minors so he will not continue to commit the crime."
