06/11/2004 12:55 PMIt looks like the various spam laws that help legalize spam are making
the spammers extra litigious. Following a lawsuit in the US by a
spammer against an anti-spam operation for
still
block their email, some spammers in the UK are
threatening
Spamhaus with lawsuits for still having them on their blacklist.
The problem is that, just because the law now gives them the
permission to spam, it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to make
their own private efforts to block them. The laws may allow them to
send their spam, but there's nothing in these laws that require people
to receive it.

their equipment for operating a "network" sharing the
equivalent of
60,000 movies or 10.5 million songs (according to Mr Ashcroft) as
part of Operation Digital Gridlock's attempts to crack the
"organisation" known as
The Underground Network (and perhaps
to rail against the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' recent decision
backing up the legality of P2P networks) one of those raided -

01/07/2005 04:41 AMCory Doctorow:
Bram Cohen, the creator of BitTorrent, notes, "I'd like to point out
that although a number of very large BitTorrent-based web sites have
been taken down recently, downloads of BitTorrent have only gone down
slightly. There's a widespread belief that BitTorrent is used almost
exclusively for warez, probably a perception of people who themselves
use it almost exclusively for warez, but that impression is simply
untrue."

ls being raided by the FBI for sharing music files, here's the

warez group. This makes more sense than just going after file
sharing, but it still makes you wonder. There is this huge terrorist
threat thing going on right now, and you would think that it might
make more sense for the FBI to protect us from being blown up than to
worry about people sharing music files that they can probably get on
file sharing networks anyway.

Cellphone Warez Has Hidden SMS Dialer
08/09/2004 09:46 AM
A cracked version of the popular "Mosquito v2.0" game
for Symbian phones has turned out to include a special trojan payload:
a dialer that sends a text message to the UK number 87140 with a
charge of £1.50 (about $2.75) a pop. So yeah, that sucks, but
you shouldn't be downloading phone warez, either.
Fortunately, if you're one of the unlucky ones who has been stung
by the malware, removing it appears to be as simple as deleting the
offending file. And while this is notable, and a little bit scary,
maybe it should be a sign to mobile OS developers to start locking
down the dialing functions of their phones a little more securely?

countries involved in the distribution of music, movies, and software
valued at over $50 million. The initiative is called Operation
Fastlink, and targeted warez groups like Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon,
Class and Project X. Excerpt from DoJ press release:
Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today the most far-reaching
and aggressive enforcement action ever undertaken against
organizations involved in illegal intellectual property piracy over
the Internet. Beginning yesterday morning, law enforcement from 10
countries and the United States conducted over 120 searches worldwide
to dismantle some of the most well-known and prolific online piracy
organizations.
"Intellectual property theft is a global problem that hurts
economies around the world. To be effective, we must respond
globally," Attorney General Ashcroft said. "In the past 24 hours,
working closely with our foreign law enforcement counterparts, we have
moved aggressively to strike at the very core of the international
online piracy world."

NYT: IRC is like the cantina scene from
Star Wars, but with porn and warez (oh

05/06/2004 03:07 AMThe NYT has run a goofy Red-scare piece on Internet Relay Chat, with
hysterical, alarmist bushwah like "It is still possible - though
sometimes a bit difficult - to find mature technical discussions among
the tens of thousands of I.R.C. chat rooms" -- I mean, how "difficult"
is it to type "/join #unix"?
When I.R.C. started in the 1980's, it was best known as a way for
serious computer professionals worldwide to communicate in real
time. It is still possible - though sometimes a bit difficult -
to find mature technical discussions among the tens of thousands
of I.R.C. chat rooms, known as channels, operating at any one
time. There are also respectable I.R.C. systems and channels -
some operated by universities or Internet service providers - for
gamers seeking opponents or those who want to talk about sports
or hobbies.
Still, I.R.C. perhaps most closely resembles the cantina scene in
"Star Wars'': a louche hangout of digital smugglers, pirates,
curiosity seekers and the people who love them (or hunt them).
There seem to be I.R.C. channels dedicated to every sexual
fetish, and I.R.C. users speculate that terrorists also use the
networks to communicate in relative obscurity. Yet I.R.C. has its
advocates, who point to its legitimate uses.

Micorosft, AOL Discover That The
Internet Isn't TV
04/11/2005 11:42 PMWhile some in the media and tech worlds are trying to
turn
the internet into television so they'd have more control, it
appears that Microsoft and AOL are finally realizing that the two act
quite differently. While both companies should have realized this
years ago, it only cost them a few million dollars each to realize
that there's
absolutely no
benefit to signing deals with Major League Baseball to allow MLB
content to be streamed on their sites. Apparently both have cut short
multi-million deals with MLB Online after realizing that most people
simply went straight to the mlb.com site anyway, and there was almost
no benefit at all to paying millions of dollars to have the identical
content hosted within their own gardens since surfers don't
distinguish. They know they can go wherever they want online, so why
would they look for MLB content on AOL or MSN rather than just going
straight to MLB? Apparently ESPN (owned by Disney) hasn't realized
this, because they're about to make the same mistake and shell out
millions to MLB for the privilege of mirroring the same content.
Meanwhile, AOL is recognizing that their money and effort is better
spent building up baseball fantasy league offerings where users
actually participate, communicate and interact with each other (what
the internet is good for!). Of course, what's unclear is whether or
not the folks at MLB.com (the same people who said they
owned
all data and facts associated with MLB games) realize this,
because if this sort of cash is part of their expected revenues going
forward, someone may want to inform their
poten
tial investors of trouble ahead.

Whither TopStyle?
Whither TopStyle?
04/23/2004 12:05 PM
I've had a number of questions lately concerning the future of TopStyle, which is
understandable given that it's been a year since TopStyle was
updated.
The short answer: TopStyle will certainly be updated. Even though
FeedDemon is getting
more attention these days (since it's new), the truth is that TopStyle
sells more copies. And besides, I use TopStyle every day to maintain
my site - so even if sales dried up, I'd keep it updated for my own
use!
So why has it been so long since an update? My recen
t surgery aside, the biggest reason for the delay is that I spent
several months working on TopStyle 4.0, and it was a
disaster. The primary features I worked on were
these:
- Scripting (automation) through an exposed object
model
- Unicode support in the editor
- Collapsible code
sections
- Extensible syntax highlighting and code completion
for PHP and ASP
- Extensible palette of
snippets
- Completely redesigned projects
Each of these
features had been requested many times by customers, so I wanted to
add all of them to version 4.0. Unfortunately, every one of these
features - especially Unicode support - required making huge changes
to TopStyle's foundation. Adding them all at once to the existing
code base was too much, and resulted in a ungodly mess of code that
even I couldn't use, let alone hand over to paying customers. In
short, my first attempt at TopStyle Pro 4.0 was a failure.
So what now? Well, once I return to work I plan to continue
development of FeedDemon 1.10 in parallel with TopStyle Pro 3.11,
which will be a free upgrade from the current version. As the version
number suggests, 3.11 will be primarily a bug-fix release. Once
that's out the door, I'll start over with version 4.0, only this time
with a more manageable set of improvements.
In the meantime, I'm just cocky enough to point out that despite
the long delay, other web authoring tools are still playing catch-up
with TopStyle Pro 3.10 even though it's over a year old :)

The first beta of TopStyle Pro 3.12 is now

taking so long to get this beta out - I had intended to release it a
couple of months ago, but needed to delay it until the acquisition by
NewsGator was completed.
Note that feedback on this beta should
be posted in the TopStyle
3.12 BETA forum on NewsGator's site, so you'll need to register in
NewsGator's forums to gain access. We had hoped we could simply
import forum members from my site so that registration wouldn't be
necessary, but unfortunately this turned out not to be
possible.

I hadn't planned to release a new version of TopStyle so soon after
coming out with versi
on 3.11, but I've decided that one is necessary to resolve a few
remaining bugs (including this
one).
It will be a few weeks before I'm ready to post a beta of TopStyle
3.12, so it's too early for me to state exactly what will be
in the new version. But among the other issues I'll address is the
oft-reported problem of Mozilla "swallowing" the focus away from
TopStyle's editor (describe
d here). Although this bug is actually in Mozilla rather than in
TopStyle itself, I'm assuming that it will never be corrected in
Mozilla (after all, the
Bugzilla report of this problem has existed for almost two years),
so I'm going to code a workaro
und in TopStyle.
The beta will be available only to existing TopStyle customers, and
will be announced here when it's ready.
