Guilty Until Proven Innocent For This
ISP

An ISP in the UK has decided that all these legal processes with takedown notices and figuring out who's sharing what with whoever else is just way too much work. Instead, it's much, much easier to simply declare everyone guilty and block all P2P traffic, unless you come begging for it with a very, very good reason -- at which point they might allow you your P2P license, and let you use P2P applications. Seems like a good way to encourage people to go check out the competition.

BitTorrent: Guilty Until Proven Innocent


BitTorrent: Guilty Until Proven Innocent 03/25/2005 07:27 PM
While BitTorrent certainly is used for unauthorized sharing of content, it's increasingly being used as a legitimate distribution mechanism. While it unfairly gets lumped in with things like Kazaa and Grokster, BitTorrent is just a protocol. It's like blaming FTP or SMTP for file sharing -- and both certainly are used to share unauthorized files. However, because BitTorrent is considered P2P some less than clueful folks seem to think it must be illegal. This leads to bizarre situations where students are losing their network access for "illegal P2P activity" when no illegal activity occurred at all. Instead, the school's IT folks seem to assume that BitTorrent, by nature of being P2P can only be used for illegal acts. I'm assuming they'll be banning FTP next. The school could claim that they're banning it due to the traffic, but they specifically pointed to the legal issue, suggesting that all of those entertainment industry subpoenas appear to be making some universities a little trigger happy on yanking internet access.

Innocent Love of a Dancer


Innocent Love of a Dancer 04/15/2005 04:40 AM

Dancer of Sunjung (sungung means innocent love in Korean) is a Korean movie currently in production which I am looking very forward to.  It's a story about a young dancer from Yanbian competing in a Korean ballroom dance contest and finding love.  I hope it's as enjoyable as the original version of Shall We Dance was.

Goonyoung Moon, the young leading actress with a thousand cute faces, is one of my favorite Korean actresses.  Here is one of the thousand that makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Yanbian, fyi,&n bsp;is a Chinese prefecture bordering Russia and North Korea which is heavily populated (~40%) by descendents of Korean origin called Chosun-jok.  Enough Koreans have lived there for long enough to even have evolved their own accent which is faithfully reproduced in the movie.

I would love to learn ballroom dancing but I've had only about 5 ballroom dancing lessons over the past 20 years because I just don't enjoy the way ballroom dancing is taught traditionally: too much focus on steps and not enough on how to weave them together into a dance.

As it is now, it's as bewildering as learning to program in assembly language although I've been known to spin girls confidently (and unfortunately uncontrollably) on the dance floor given enough drinks under the belt.


DirecTV Helps TiVo


DirecTV Helps TiVo 12/11/2003 04:57 PM
DirecTV helps TiVo... but not TiVo users. While CNET reports that TiVo's partnership with DirecTV has driven subs up to the 1 million mark, my poor DirecTiVo satellite/DVR combo is orphaned sans the Home Media Option and any of the cool new software features (e.g. folders)--and, indeed, any software updates to speak of--appearing on the standalone Tivo boxes. The Web-based recording and ability to stream audio from my MP3 store to my hifi via TiVo were the very reasons I upgraded to a Series 2 TiVo. Sure is nice to see TiVo doing so well though; mind you, I do mean that--this particular beef is with DirecTV.
