The European Court of Justice (CJEU) has today ruled that operators of free (no password required) public WiFi hotspots cannot be held liable for copyright infringements (Internet piracy) committed by users on their networks, but there’s a password-attached catch. Public (open) WiFi hotspots can be found all over the place, such as inside airports, cafes, libraries and even homes, but the long-running “McFadden case” in Germany had threatened to make such services more difficult to operate. However today’s outcome does still add a challenge over the need for password protection. Tobias Mc Fadden originally operated a business selling and renting lighting and sound systems near Munich, in which he also offered a WiFi network accessible to the public. In 2010, a musical work was “unlawfully offered for downloading” via that Internet connection by a user of the service and the copyright holder, Sony, decided to pursue the operator. Sony reasoned that Tobias Mc Fadden, the operator of said network, should accept “indirect liability” on the grounds that his Wi-Fi service had NOT been made secure. Sony obviously had no hope of finding the responsible user because, like many such hotspots, they didn’t leave any valid identifiable information. The case eventually ended up before the CJEU and earlier this year the Court’s Advocate General (Szpunar) issued a non-binding opinion on the case, which stated that the “operator of a shop, hotel or bar who offers a Wi-Fi network free of charge to the public is not liable for copyright infringements committed by users of that network” (here). Today the CJEU’s formal ruling has upheld that position and rejected Sony’s claim. The Court also appears to vindicate the right to privacy of communications, by precluding ISPs from undertaking general surveillance of user activities on their network in search of copyright-infringing content. Naturally the association of EU and UK ISPs (EuroISPA) is pleased. Malcolm Hutty, EuroISPA’s Intermediary Liability Chair, said: “Today’s CJEU ruling further strengthens the consensus that copyright enforcement measures must be assessed in context of competing fundamental rights and the social good.” However EuroISPA notes that the ruling still foresees the potential of injunctions obliging public WiFi operators to password protect their networks and obtain user identification before network access. In this regard, EuroISPA says it is essential that national courts follow the finely-balanced reasoning of the CJEU, and order such injunctive relief only in those instances where there is demonstrable and serious risk of repeat infringements. Mind you it’s worth considering that even password protecting such networks is not in itself a solution because it’s still very easy to simply enter fake details.

THE PIRATE BAY IS UNDER THE RADAR AGAIN! CHROME AND FIREFOX NOW SHOW THEPIRATEBAY DOMAIN AS A MALICIOUS SITE TO VISIT WHILE COMODO’S SECURE DNS SHOWS TPB IS A HACKING WEBSITE. In May 2016 when ThePirateBay was still on .SE, the extensions in Google Chrome, FireF0x and Safari browsers marked the domain as potentially dangerous to visit. Their reason was the domain could drop malware or carry a phishing attack against visitors. But after being forced to give up its .SE domain, the ThePirateBay went .ORG and warnings about being malicious site to visit magically disappeared from all three browsers. However, today users around the world are reporting that they are unable to download torrents from the site without going through a security alert on both Google Chrome and FireFox browsers. On Chrome users can see ”The site ahead contains harmful programs” alert whilst FireFox users can see ”Reported Unwanted Software Page!” alert. “Attackers on thepiratebay.org might attempt to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit),” the warning adds. Google Safe Browsing checker has also marked TPB as potentially dangerous site to visit: chrome-firebox-label-thepiratebay-org-malicious-site.jpg If you want to you can dodge the browser warning by disabling security warnings completely in the settings, but it will put your PC/laptop at serious risk.

A lawyer who represents Julian Assange and took part in The Pirate Bay trial says a file-sharing case he's currently involved in has the most unreasonable claims for damages he's ever seen. Per E. Samuelson says the case against the founder of torrent site SwePiracy contains a claim for more than $3m in damages, for a single movie. Founded back in 2006, SwePiracy grew to become one of the most famous private torrent sites on the Swedish scene. With that reputation came attention from anti-piracy groups and local authorities In the wake of the “guilty” verdict in the Pirate Bay trial during April 2009, SwePiracy disappeared offline. It reappeared just a few weeks later. Anti-piracy group Antipiratbyrån (now Rights Alliance) said that during this downtime, the operators of the site took measures to improve their security. However, three years later those efforts proved futile. In February 2012, police in Sweden and the Netherlands took coordinated action to shut down the site and earlier this year its 24-year-old operator appeared in court for the first time facing several years in prison. Despite the prosecution admitting that the site had likely been created for fun, it’s alleged SwePiracy raised $100,000 from donations. As a result, the pursuit of damages against its operator was to be made “according to The Pirate Bay model”, i.e extremely aggressively. This week the now 25-year-old appeared in court again, facing charges that he assisted in the unlawful distribution of a large number of movies. As is customary in such cases, the prosecution has homed in on a smaller sample of 27 movies in its evidence. “They earned a lot of money, they spread huge amounts of pirated content and this [man] is one of the key players. Therefore, it is important that those involved are sentenced to severe punishment,” said Henrik Pontén of Rights Alliance, who represent Nordisk Film, one of the plaintiffs in the case. One of five companies acting against SwePiracy, Nordisk is reportedly being the most aggressive. The film distributor is demanding more than $3m (20m kronor) in damages for a single low-budget movie. SwePiracy defense lawyer Per E. Samuelsson, who also represents Julian Assange and previously took part in The Pirate Bay trial, says the claims are the most unreasonable he’s ever witnessed in his 35 years as a lawyer. “I think this is the most unreasonable claim for damages I have been through. The idea that [this type of film] could cause 20-25 million kronor in damages on an illegal file-sharing site is totally absurd from every point of view,” he said. Swedish news outlet SVT reported an exchange in court between Samuelsson and Pontén, in which the former argued that his client had started the site as a child, for fun. “My client started [SwePiracy] when he was 14 years old. It was purely a prank,” Samuelsson said. “That’s not true,” Pontén objected. “He was not fourteen years old when he committed these acts. At some point, he has certainly been fourteen, but when he did this he was criminally responsible and earned lots of money.” The verdict will be handed down at a later date.

NOHnR + 4x szorzós napok - átköltöztünk! - DDoS támadás Kedves mindenki! Az új regesek kedvéért és a költözés miatt szeptember 17-én éjjelig (nem pont éjfélig) NOHnR napokat tartunk 4x-es feltöltési szorzóval kombinálva. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a letöltött torrentekre nem keletkezik kötelezettség, és minden feltöltést 4x-esen számol el a szerver. Költözés Új szerverre költözik az oldal. Ezért egy rövid leállás lesz valamikor - teljesen pontosan nem tudni mikor. A költözés megtörtént közben. DDoS támadás érte az oldalt Csütörtök este megtámadták az insane-t. Ez rövid leállást okozott. Senkinek semmilyen adata nem volt veszélyben, csak pár percre megbénították az oldalt. Az új szerveren már lesz DoS és DDoS védelem is, az ilyen "szórakozások" ellen már védve leszünk. Persze várható, hogy azért csak rá fognak ott is próbálni. A költözésig sajnos még előfordulhat emiatt is leállás. Köszönjük a megértést és a türelmet! Mindenkinek kellemes free napokat kívánunk!

Dear users ! For The lighter colors fondly lovers , we've provided a new look on the page. The theme of the profile page you know , you can select nCore.Light .

Research commissioned by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has found that half of 16 to 24-year-olds use stream ripping tools to copy music from sites like YouTube. The industry group says that the problem has grown so much that in volume terms it has overtaken downloading from 'pirate' sites. One of the recurring themes of recent years has been entertainment industry criticism of Google alongside claims the search giant doesn’t do enough to tackle piracy. In more recent months, the focus has fallen on YouTube in particular, with the music industry painting the video hosting site as a haven for unlicensed tracks. This, the labels say, allows YouTube to undermine competitors and run a ‘DMCA protection racket‘. While complaints surrounding the so-called “value gap” continue, the labels are now revisiting another problem that has existed for years. For the unfamiliar, stream ripping is a mechanism for obtaining music from an online source and storing it on a local storage device in MP3 or similar format. Ripping can be achieved by using dedicated software or via various sites designed for the purpose. With the largest library online, YouTube is the most popular destination for ‘rippers’. Broadly speaking, the site carries two kinds of music – that for which the site has a license and that uploaded without permission by its users. The labels consider the latter as straightforward piracy but the former is also problematic in a stream-ripping environment. Once a track is downloaded by a user from YouTube, labels aren’t getting paid per play anymore. According to IFPI, the stream-ripping problem has become huge. A new study by Ipsos commissioned by IFPI has found that 49% of Internet users aged 16 to 24 admitted to stream ripping in the six months ending April. That’s a 41% increase over the same period a year earlier. When considering all age groups the situation eases somewhat, but not by enough to calm IFPI’s nerves. Ipsos found that 30% of all Internet users had engaged in stream ripping this year, that’s 10% up on a year earlier. In fact, according to comments made to FT (subscription) by IFPI, the problem has become so large that it is now the most popular form of online piracy, surpassing downloading from all of the world’s ‘pirate’ sites. Precisely why there has been such a large increase isn’t clear, but it’s likely that the simplicity of sites such as YouTube-MP3 has played a big role. The site is huge by any measurement and has been extremely popular for many years. However, this year has seen a dramatic increase in visits, as shown below. Equally, with pirate site blockades springing up all over the world, users in affected regions will find YouTube and ripping sites much easier to access. Also, rippers tend to work well on mobile phones, giving young people the portability they desire for their music. But while YouTube and Google will now find themselves under yet more pressure, the company hasn’t been silent on the issue of stream-ripping. On several occasions, YouTube lawyers have made legal threats against such sites, including YouTube-MP3 in 2012 and more recently against TubeNinja. “We strive to keep YouTube a safe, responsible community, and to encourage respect for the rights of millions of YouTube creators,” an email from YouTube’s legal team to TubeNinja read. “This requires compliance with the Terms of Service and API Terms of Service. We hope that you will cooperate with us by ceasing to offer TubeNinja with functionality that is designed to allow users to download content from YouTube within seven days of this letter.” While it is indeed the biggest platform, the problem isn’t only limited to YouTube. Stream rippers are available for most streaming sites including Vimeo, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Mixcloud, and many dozens of others, with Google itself providing convenient addons for its Chrome browser. With the major labels now describing stream-ripping as the biggest piracy threat, expect to hear much more on this topic as the year unfolds.

Hello, Hello my dear friends and welcome to Morethan.tv season 2 . I hope you all had a great summer; got some nice tan and all. But now it's the Fall season! It’s time to get back to watching TV and that’s why we’re all here for!! We will resume work and start releasing more shows here at MorethanTV (MTV). Upload Be very careful when you upload something. Here we care very much about the proper torrent naming. And some of you just take the .torrent and dump it there. That's not even close! You can find more info here but who's crazy enough to read that entire list ? So, i will start with what mistakes i saw you guys do often : a) Forget .mkv in the title. So when you have a .torrent file, just edit it. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITH THE FILE.. So instead of : Mr.Robot.S02E05.UNCENSORED.1080p.WEB.X264-DEFLATE.mkv.torrent you need just Mr.Robot.S02E05.UNCENSORED.1080p.WEB.X264-DEFLATE.torrent b) If the autoupload bot doesn't fill the proper cast, synopis and covers that doesn't mean you should do the same. Please complete proper the codecs part and the info part. It's your upload, don't you want to be nice? DO NOT UPLOAD the .torrent taken from other trackers! You have two scenarios : a) In case you want to upload to multiple cases you will do this : Create a .torrent file without your passkey, let it empty, upload it on those trackers then download the .torrent from that tracker which will give you a legit .torrent with your passkey. b) In case you downloaded it from somewhere and you want to upload it to Morethan.tv you need to do this : Create the .torrent again!! Internals First and foremost, at MTV we believe in the culture of sharing but we also respect the work of the encoder/uploader so feel free to ask our staffs before uploading our releases to everywhere else (with a few exceptions and of course, public trackers) There are certain contents that, the uploader might just want them to be here on MTV and not anywhere else, especially for safety reasons. So, it’s important to ask first before uploading them to other places. With that said, I want to give thanks to the users who were nice enough to ask us before ?. DRACULA is a Morethan.tv INTERNAL group, and only here. If you see our releases on other trackers, that does not mean DRACULA is an INTERNAL group there as well. Okay, moving on to... Requests and Reseed Well, there is a bit of a problem with this system. Everyone knows the community here at MTV has been nothing but exceptional. However, it’s not without its fault when it comes to requests. The problem arises when some (not all!) users create requests but end up not downloading them at all. We use space on our servers, and spend time filling those requests. So it would be great if users to bookmark their requests, check their messages and grab those uploads We will start monitoring every requests and if a user makes a request but then don't grab and seed it, he will be given a WARNING and his invite & request privileges may be DISABLED. It is the same with reseed requests. Some people come on forum, ask for a reseed, grab it then HnR them. So the same case will be applied here as well: If you ask for a reseed but don’t seed them for a decent amount of time, you will be given a WARNING and your invites & request privileges may be DISABLED. Invites and Recruiment threads At MTV, we want our users to appreciate the invites they are given. However, there are certain users who don’t. There have been a few users who grab a few releases just to meet the download requirements, take the invite and then proceed to stop seeding those releases. We, as staffs at MTV, feel that it’s appropriate that to be eligible to request an invite, users need to seed at MINIMUM, 25 torrents, and for at least 2 WEEKS. And as staffs, we can check if you meet the requirements. So, to make it clear again, if you want an invite then you need to have at least 25 torrents SEEDING in your client and those 25 torrents must be seeded for at least 2 WEEKS. When it comes to recruitments, it has been some time since we closed all of our recruitment threads. So, we have decided to ask you, as users, in this thread to decide if MTV should open ONE recruitment thread. And last but not least, a short note to for everyone here at MTV. We never have forced our users to do anything unreasonable. We always try to not clog our front page with news nor bother our users with mass PMs. We just asked and hoped our users to be good users; to seed and demonstrate to others that as a private tracker, MTV can be run by users who believe in the right things to do, and not users who are forced into doing something without proper reasons.Don't misunderstand my intentions, the gentleman agreement here at MTV has not been broken. The Seeder/Leecher ratio is still ‘green’, but it’s not good not enough. And for that, we urge our users to constantly seed to increase our retention and make MTV even better. PS: If anyone wants to know about our seedservers, we will post some screenshots on this news thread and we will have discussions if any users want to. Well…This has been an interesting board meeting. Now, who wants a beer?

TmGHuB Staff wish to extend their warm wishes to all the TmG members, their families & loved ones on the special occasion of Eid-ul-Adha & Onam. May this festive season bring you joy and all the happiness in your life. We have activated free leech for the next 8 days until 18th September midnight. Download will not be counted during this free leech, only upload will. So, take the opportunity of downloading as much as you can and remember to seed back, so that others can enjoy too. We once again wish you a very Happy Eid-ul-Adha and Onam. Regards, TmGHuB Staff

A prominent security researcher has discovered serious vulnerabilities in a system that allows awards voters to watch the latest movie screeners online. Chris Vickery, who previously gained access to the 'World-Check' terror, crime and sanctions database, informed TF of his discovery last month after an unsecured database was left open to the public. So-called screener copies of the latest movies are some of Hollywood’s most valuable assets, yet every year and to the delight of pirates, many leak out onto the Internet. Over the years, Hollywood has done its best to limit the leaks, but every 12 months without fail, many of the top titles appear online in close to perfect quality. With that in mind, the studios have been testing Netflix-like systems that negate the need for physical discs to be sent out. One such system has been made available at Awards-Screeners.com. Quietly referenced by companies including 20th Century Fox, the site allows SAG-AFTRA members and other industry insiders to view the latest movies in a secure environment. At least, that’s the idea. Late August, TorrentFreak was contacted by security researcher Chris Vickery of MacKeeper.com who told us that while conducting tests, he’d discovered an exposed MongoDB database that appeared to be an integral part of Awards-Screeners.com. “The database was running with no authentication required for access. No username. No password. Just entirely exposed to the open internet,” Vickery told TF. The researcher’s discovery was significant as the database contained more than 1,200 user logins. Vickery did not share the full database with TF but he did provide details of a handful of the accounts it contained. Embarrassingly, many belong to senior executives including: – Vice President of International Technology at Universal Pictures – ‎Director of Content Technology & Security at Disney – Vice President of Post-Production Technology at Disney – Executive Director, Feature Mastering at Warner Bros – Vice President of Global Business & Technology Strategy at Warner Bros – Director of Content Protection at Paramount Pictures – VP of corporate communications and publicity for 20th Century Fox While the hashed passwords for the above would be difficult to crack, the database itself was publicly offering admin-level access, so it was a disaster from a security perspective. “Any of the values in the database could have been changed to arbitrary values, i.e. create-your-own-password,” Vickery said. According to the researcher, this vulnerability had the potential to blow a hole in the screener system and could’ve had huge piracy and subsequent law enforcement implications. “Theoretically, it would have been possible for a malicious person to log into any of the 1,200+ user accounts, screencap an unreleased film, and torrent it to the world,” he explained. “There’s also supposedly video watermark technology that makes it possible to trace which account it came from. So basically you could have framed any of the users for the distribution as well by using their account to do it.” The screenshot below shows Vickery’s view of the database, in this case highlighting the availability of a screener copy of the soon-to-be-released Oliver Stone movie, Snowden. Vision Media Management, which claims to be the largest Awards screener fulfillment operation in the world, is the outfit in charge of the system. It’s described in the company’s promotional material as a “Secure Digital Screener” platform “selected by the MPAA major studios as the preferred secure content delivery method for Awards voters.” Like all responsible data breach hunters, Vickery did his research and decided to inform Awards-Screeners.com and Vision Media Management of his findings. Initially, they appeared somewhat grateful. “During my telephone conversation with Vision Media Management, which consisted of me, their lead counsel (Tanya Forsheit), and their CTO (Doug Woodard), they were very surprised and worried. They didn’t understand how this could happen and claimed that the system should have nothing loaded into it currently and was purged months ago,” Vickery said. “This is not believable due to time stamps of activity in the database. In the ‘Snowden’ screenshot, for example, you can see that the entry was updated on 7/13/2016.” Vickery also informed the MPAA of his discoveries and was told by the organization’s Office of Technology that it was “currently working diligently” with Vision to “evaluate the situation and take appropriate remedial action.” Meanwhile, conversations between Vickery and Vision Media Management continued. The researcher says that the company tried to downplay his findings with claims that the database had been secure and contained only test data. However, when Vickery asked if he could release the database, he was advised it was too sensitive to be made public. The company then began a drive to convince the researcher that security at Amazon, one of Vision’s vendors, was to blame for the leak. Vision’s lawyer also suggested that Vickery had “improperly downloaded” the database. In a follow-up mail, Vickery made it clear to Vision that allegations of “improper downloading” were incompatible with the fact that the database had been published openly to the public Internet. And, after all, he had done the responsible thing by informing them of their security issues. “I have cooperated with and contributed to data breach-related investigations conducted by the FTC, FBI, US Navy, HHS/OCR, US Secret Service, and other similar entities,” he told the company. “Not a single regulatory or government agency I have interacted with has even suggested that what I do, downloading publicly published information, is improper.” In subsequent discussion with Vickery, Vision Media asked for time to assess the situation but by September 4, the researcher had more bad news for the company. Emails shared with TF show Vickery informing Vision of yet more security holes in its system, specifically a pair of publicly exposed S3 buckets located on Vision resources at Amazon. Vickery says these contained development and release builds of Vision’s Android app, development and deployment meeting notes, plus some unexplained references to Netflix. In the run-up to this piece, Vickery advised Vision Media that a public disclosure would be likely so in an effort to provide balanced reporting, TorrentFreak reached out to Vision Media’s CEO for a statement on the researcher’s findings. At the time of publication, nothing had been received. And after several conversations with Vision via email and on the phone, Vickery was drawing a blank this week too. “Vision has not gotten back to me today, and we were very clear last week that they would be contacting me again by Thursday,” Vickery told TF. “I even sent them a little reminder earlier and asked if we were still planning to talk. No response all day.” In the absence of an official statement from Vision Media, it’s impossible to say how many people accessed the Awards-Screener database before Vickery, or what their intentions were. Perhaps only time will tell but one thing is clear – a move to the digital space might not be the perfect solution for screener distribution. Check out Chris Vickery’s report on MacKeeper

In June, it was revealed that uTorrent's forums had been hacked, putting at risk the personal details of hundreds of thousands of users. Now it being reported that the database has been put up for sale on a darknet marketplace. The package is said to contain almost 395,000 accounts but data is cheap. The asking price? Just one bitcoin. With more than 150 million users a month, uTorrent is by far the most popular torrent client in the West. This popularity and the need for technical support means that parent company BitTorrent Inc. needs to maintain a community forum. With tens of thousands of visitors each day, it too is quite popular. However, it recently came to light that information the site held on its users was no longer secure. In June, the uTorrent team issued a security alert which advised users to change their passwords. According to one of uTorrent’s vendors, a compromise of uTorrent’s database had occurred following a security issue elsewhere. “The vulnerability appears to have been through one of the vendor’s other clients, however it allowed attackers to access some information on other accounts. As a result, attackers were able to download a list of our forum users,” uTorrent said at the time. Since then things have gone pretty quiet but according to information just published, the problems might be about to get worse. According to Hackread, the uTorrent database obtained during the breach has now gone up for sale on a darknet marketplace. Offered for sale by a user called “DoubleFlag”, it is said to contain emails and passwords from the forum. “Out of a total of 394,769 accounts, some passwords are encrypted with Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and some with the weak MD5 hashes,” the publication reports. As can be seen from the screenshot above, the asking price is pretty low considering the number of accounts involved. The seller is asking just BTC 0.9580 ($602) for the data, which may (or may not) be an indication of its usefulness. Another interesting detail coming out of this offer of sale is the claim from DoubleFlag that the data was obtained from uTorrent back in January. That’s a full six months in advance of the security alert from uTorrent. The same January date is claimed by Haveibeenpwned.com, but that site states that ‘just’ 34,235 accounts have been compromised.

HACKERS ARE NOW SELLING STOLEN DATA FROM UTORRENT FORUM, MAIL.RU, AND YANDEX.RU — THE DATA IS IN THE MILLIONS, SO BRACE YOURSELF. The darknet marketplaces have never been so busy before August and September this year. On the one hand, hackers are conducting massive data breaches. On the other, we have online vendors who are making sure they are not missing any opportunity making money off of those breaches. Just a couple of days ago HackRead exclusively reported on Dropbox and Bitcointalk.org data being sold on a darknet forum. Now two different vendors are selling the hacked data from uTorrent Forum, Mail.ru and Yandex.ru. uTorrent Forum Data: The uTorrent Forum data is being sold by a vendor going using the online handle “DoubleFlag” and contains emails and passwords from uTorrent forum users. Out of a total of 394,769 accounts, some passwords are encrypted with Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and some with the weak MD5 hashes. Although according to uTorrent’s security advisory the forum was breached in June. But the vendor has listed that the data was stolen in January 2016. The price listed for the uTorrent account data is BTC 0.9580 (602.34 US Dollar). Mail.ru Data: Mail.ru, Russian Internet giant has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. A vendor going by the online handle of “saul_berenson” is selling 57 million Mail.ru accounts on darknet in BTC 1.0000 (628.78 US Dollar). The sold data includes emails and MD5 passwords of Mail.ru users. According to the seller, “these passwords are very easy to crack.” Remember Mail.ru was hacked twice, one in July and August 2016 when 27 million accounts were stolen and before that in May 2016 when 57 million accounts were stolen. We suspect that the stolen data is from May 2016 breach. Yandex is another Russian Internet giant serving as the country’s largest search engine and like Mail.ru the corporation has been under attack by hackers numerous times. However, now, a vendor is selling 6.5 million Yandex accounts containing emails and passwords. The total number of sold accounts is 659,5756 with both hashed and clear-text passwords. In an exclusive conversation with the seller, HackRead was told that the data contains accounts from 2012 and April 2016. If you have an account with any of the aforementioned platforms, change your password ASAP. One big reason we are posting these listings here is to highlight the importance of changing your password on weekly or at least monthly basis.

Two leading anti-piracy groups have penned an open letter and Change.org petition calling on Clinton and Trump to adopt a tough approach to copyright law. Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture, which count dozens of major studios and record labels among their members, say that protecting content is vital, no matter which party is in power. As the presidential election moves towards the home straight, millions of individuals and businesses in the United States are considering how the outcome might affect them. Unsurprisingly, powerful groups in the entertainment industry are also weighing the implications and with billions at stake, who could blame them. Of course, just like the rest of the population, neither Hollywood nor the major recording labels have a crystal ball, so in recent months their public lobbying efforts have been mindful of the possibility that either Clinton or Trump could get into power. This week that trend continued, with the publication of a new open letter and the launch of a petition by two influential anti-piracy groups, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture. The Copyright Alliance is a true powerhouse which counts the MPAA, RIAA, Viacom, Oracle, Getty Images and many other corporations among its members. CreativeFuture is a huge coalition of some 450 companies in the film, television, music, and book publishing sectors. In their letter addressed to “2016 Political Candidates”, the groups describe themselves as members of the creative community, who despite political differences are united in their goal of reducing piracy. “While our political views are diverse, as creators, there are core principles on which we can all agree. And we appreciate the opportunity to share our views with our country’s current and future leaders,” the groups write. What immediately becomes apparent in the letter are the glowing references to the Internet. With lessons learned from the SOPA debacle which was perceived by many as an attack on the world’s most important network, Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture begin by cheerfully praising its positives. “We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for our world and for creative industries. We recognize its ability to inspire positive change and improve lives,” they write. “In our creative industries, the internet has helped to advance creativity by removing barriers to entry for newcomers, fostering a dialogue with fans, audiences, and consumers, and providing numerous additional ways to reach them. The internet holds great potential to expand creativity and free expression.” While one might have strongly expected a ‘but’ at this juncture, the groups are careful not to set up a clash of ideals. It’s not difficult to see that their aim is to quietly assure that the successful protection of copyrighted content does not have to come at the expense of the Internet. “We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. The incredible cultural and economic value that the internet delivers to billions of users is based in very large part on the efforts of creative content makers whose livelihoods depend on being compensated for their efforts,” they add. “Copyright should protect creators from those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. The internet can be a great tool for creators just as it can be a tool for science, education, health care, and many other disciplines. However, when misused, it can harm creativity and stifle freedom of expression.” And if anyone missed the hints that Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture are supporters of both creative content and the interests of the Internet, the groups quickly take the opportunity to underline that again. However, one gets the impression that their definition of online freedom might not be the same as that championed by Internet activists. “Our current and future leaders recognize that a safe and secure internet benefits us all. And all parties recognize the importance of strong copyright protections in their technology policy platforms because protecting copyright and internet freedom are both critically important and complementary — they are not mutually exclusive,” they write. “A truly free internet, like any truly free community, is one where people respect the rights of others and can engage in legitimate activities safely — and where those who do not are held accountable under law by their peers.” Interestingly, the letter also warns 2016’s political candidates against “organizations and advocates” funded by “online platforms” that claim to be “pro-creators and pro-audience to mask their own self-serving agenda.” These groups are not mentioned by name but the likes of EFF and Fight for the Future have been spoken of in similar terms and have appeared in negative articles published by the Copyright Alliance earlier this year. “[The nameless groups] denigrate or block effective efforts to preserve and promote creative content, including enforcement of existing laws and voluntary industry initiatives,” Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture warn, adding: “The creative community is rightfully wary of any company or organization that claims to be ‘against piracy’ when their actions do not match their words.” And of course, even if not mentioned by name, no appeal would be complete without a subtle reference to Google and/or YouTube. Trump and Clinton are left to fill in the gaps and asked to do the right thing. “Internet platforms are making massive profits from creative contributions to the internet’s growth. It is not too much to ask that content creators should be able to share in the value they provide,” the groups write. With the election likely to go to the wire, Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture are keen to ensure that anti-piracy measures are seen as a universal concern, no matter where people reside on the political spectrum. “There is no ‘left’ or ‘right’ when it comes to respecting copyright. The creative community stands united in support of a copyright system that will continue to make the United States the global leader in the creative arts and the global paradigm for free expression,” they note. “Our copyright system is not perfect but, like democracy, it is better than the alternatives. It works. We urge our leaders to maintain America’s commitment to the right of creators to determine when and how they share their works in the global marketplace.” In support of their open letter, Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture have also launched a Change.org petition in an attempt to get 5,000 signatures supporting their cause. “Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue but rather one that benefits our entire country. We ask that you stand with us by adding your name to this letter – to show political candidates that we stand united, we stand creative,” they conclude. Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates
