Ellison vs. Gnutella

2001-03-08 Thread Blank Frank

With the second amended complaint, we were able to add a complaint for
vicarious infringement against AOL for the,development of the Gnutella
file transfer protocol by its Nullsoft division. Gnutella is Napster
without a central processing hub.,By setting up a “sting” operation, one
of our investigators was able to track the infringement of several works
by Harlan and,Isaac Asimov using Gnutella. This presents interesting
issues regarding the responsibility for the release of software
which,effectively pollutes the intellectual property environment.

DeCSS in perl -- test vectors?

2001-03-08 Thread Adam Back

Keith Winstein and Marc Horowitz implemented DeCSS in perl.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/qrpff-fast.pl

There is some description of using it here:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/

Does anyone have test vectors for DeCSS.  If one had a DVD player and a
content scrambled DVD one could use the example they give:

% /mnt/dvd/VOB_FILE_NAME | qrpff 153 2 8 105 225 | \
extract_mpeg2 | mpeg2dec -

Someone want to extract a few frames from a DVD and include the associated
plaintext for testing purposes.  I'd like to try reduce the size of the
program.

 Also, there is nothing new in the web archive for the period. 
 
 Hence, this message.  If it doesn't land back in my inbox, that 
 will tell me something about the problem.  If on the other hand 
 the distribution is working, perhaps someone who knows something 
 can tell me something else about the problem.

2001-03-08 Thread Harmon Seaver

I was subscribed to cyberpass.net, been gone for two days and
came home to no cpunks mail. Subscribed to lne and it started flowing
again.
   Pretty weird -- even wierder is what happened to openpgp -- I was
subscribed to that one, it went down, came back up, went down again and
never a word from the owner since.
