[NetBehaviour] The Pirate Bay to roll out secure E UR5 per month VPN service.

2009-03-28 Thread marc garrett
The Pirate Bay to roll out secure EUR5 per month VPN service.

Those behind The Pirate Bay have introduced IPREDator, a VPN service 
aimed at keeping users anonymous and safe from being tracked by law 
enforcement. The service is slated for launch at the same time as the 
Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED), 
which will make it easier for content owners to directly target 
suspected copyright infringers with lawsuits.

By Jacqui Cheng.

The Pirate Bay is planning to launch a paid VPN service for users 
looking to cover their tracks when torrenting. The new service will be 
called IPREDator, named after the Swedish Intellectual Property Rights 
Enforcement Directive (IPRED) that will go into effect in April. 
IPREDator is currently in private beta and is expected to go public next 
week for EUR5 per month.

IPREDator is clearly a response to the introduction of IPRED in Sweden, 
which will allow law enforcement and copyright holders to request the 
personal details of suspected infringers. The copyright holders will 
then be able to make direct contact with the accused users and 
presumably threaten them with lawsuits.

If users connect to The Pirate Bay through something like Tor or VPN, 
however, they're less likely to be tracked. IPREDator's website says 
that it won't store any traffic data, as its entire goal is to help 
people stay anonymous on the web. Without any data to hand over, 
copyright owners won't be able to find individuals to target.

This, of course, is likely to irk law enforcement even further, as it 
has been on The Pirate Bay's case for years. Some three years after 
Swedish police raided the site and confiscated its servers, a few of The 
Pirate Bay admins finally went on trial for copyright infringement 
earlier this year. The world is still awaiting the verdict (expected to 
arrive on April 17), though those behind The Pirate Bay maintain that 
what they're doing is entirely legal. In fact, Pirate Bay spokesperson 
Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi said during the trial that 80 percent of The 
Pirate Bay's torrents are for content that's legal to share online.

Event - Doctorow and Stross: Resisting the all-seeing eye.

With the rise of the database state and firms profiting from 
user-profiling, it’s vital to resist surveillance and ensure the 
integrity of your digital personality. From technologies like PGP and 
Tor to the arguments that will convince people - friends and family as 
well as media and politicians - to watch out for their digital rights, 
this event is your anti-surveillance 101.

What: Doctorow and Stross: Resisting the all-seeing eye
When: 1830, Friday 1 May 2009

[NetBehaviour] How to contribute to [Netbehaviour] ada lovelace day

2009-03-28 Thread Ruth Catlow
Hi Ann,

Thanks for subscribing. Last week, in support of Ada Lovelace Day*, we
invited all women who work in media arts and net art to join the
Netbehaviour list and tell us about their work and that of other women
who have inspired them in their own practice.  

The call is open for a week between 23rd and 30th March (at midnight) at
which point we will compile the list and feature it on Furtherfield.org

Posts are welcome in any length, format and frequency and we are not
worrying about repeats or gaps. We want to know why you are inspired by
the people you are inspired by. It's especially good if you can include
links so that if we don't know the work we can go and explore for
ourselves.

If you want to view all the other inspiring posts before you make your
own you can check out the Netbehaviour archives
http://www.netbehaviour.org/pipermail/netbehaviour/

**Ada Lovelace Day -bringing women in technology to the fore
http://findingada.com/blog/2009/01/05/ada-lovelace-day/ 
sign a pledge to blog about inspirational women in tech on 24th March.

Hope this helps,

best things
Ruth

Hi,

I feel a bit awkward, but still..

somewhere in the many things I read about Ada Lovelace day it said that
all those who blogged about women and tech should subscribe to this
list. I did (write and subscribe) and now am confused. What are we to
do? Send the names of those we wrote about? And then what is going to
happen? Is it only about names, or about the blog posts? Mine is in
German: does that make sense?

Sorry for the confusion!
Anne



marc garrett schrieb:
 Hi Rob,
 
 I think in regard to individuals contributing with names already 
 suggested, what would make it even more valid is if a small contextual 
 reason for the suggestion is given - because we all have our own 
 personal reasons why we are influenced by such people.
 
 We can all easily add links  names, but why are we interested in them?
 
 I'm still working on my own list which will be added tomorrow sometime 
 because like many on here life is busy - sheesh, time, time, time!
 
 wishing you well.

 That's a relief, as I missed the actual day due to jet lag. :-)

 I know some people I'm about to mention have already been covered but
 my personal list would be:

 Ada Lovelace (the original hacker),
 Jasia Reichardt (for Cybernetic Serendipity, The Computer in Art, and 
 after),
 Tessa Elliot (interactive multimedia artist and influential teacher),
 Tracey Matthieson (online multi-user VR pioneer),
 Susan Kare (designed the influential original Macintosh icons)

Fwd: 
from Diana McCarty of Faces

I would love to include the following people and initiatives in the  
Ada Lovelace Day compilation!  The women that do this work and these  
projects are great and inspiring.  They have meant a lot to me!  
Shamelessly I include one of the projects I work on - Faces, because  
hey, it is all about women that do Gender, Art and Technology projects.

For her amazing work combining feminist concepts in technological  
models and her work with illustrating how important the construction  
of knowledge is: She informs just about everything that I do!
Prof. Dr. Heidi Schelhowe
http://dimeb.informatik.uni-bremen.de/content/view/307/138/

Her work as a computer scientist is incredible. She asks the right  
questions and is a constant challenge to some very dangerous  
assumptions about privacy.
Seda Guerses
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~seda/

For her tireless commitment to working for Women in Technology. She is  
able to realize elegant participatory models.
Uschi Reiter
http://www.firstfloor.org/ur/blog/

Her work is incredible - she connects the social with so many aspects  
of technology.
Michelle Teran

They just got it: their early understanding of what was possible and  
scary about big daddy mainframe and how to subvert it!

Re: [NetBehaviour] Furtherfield in Support of Ada Lovelace Day

2009-03-28 Thread Aileen Derieg
Although I wrote a short blog post about my grandmother on our family blog for 
Ada Lovelace Day earlier this week, I am happy to take advantage of Ruth and 
Marc's invitation to mention some of the women who have inspired and 
encouraged me - this is the short version in comparison with what has been 
going through my mind:

My name: Aileen Derieg
I work as a translator with an emphasis on Contemporary Art and New Media.
My web site: http://eliot.at

Inspired by:

Judith Butler
Again and again, reading Judith Butler's books has helped me to feel not quite 
so powerless in a world that I do not agree with. The way she questions 
things that seem to be taken for granted, proposing radically different ways 
of understanding the world that make so much more sense – her books are 
certainly among the most important I have read in my life.
http://rhetoric.berkeley.edu/faculty_bios/judith_butler.html


Faith Wilding
A description I read many years ago as a young student of Faith 
Wilding's Invitation to a Burning was what first captured my attention and 
awakened my interest in Faith and her work. Years later I was even more 
impressed to realize how she had continued to develop and evolve her work and 
ideas. When I first joined the Faces mailing list in the late 90s, I nearly 
fell off my chair when the first response to my introduction was a personal 
welcome from Faith. Having admired and looked up to this woman for so long, I 
was deeply touched by her response.
A few years ago, in the midst of a conflict, when I was feeling sad and low, I 
was standing at a window looking down on an empty space, which made me think 
of Invitation to a Burning again. I wrote to Faith then and told her how 
sad I felt, how I missed the kind of exhilarating actions that have meanwhile 
become part of art history. I was very grateful for and encouraged by her 
response. To me, she is not only a fascinating and inspiring artist and an 
intelligent and thoughtful writer, but also a wise woman.
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/fwild/faithwilding/


Margarete Jahrmann
I first became aware of Margarete through the Poptarts section of Telepolis 
that she and Kathy Rae Huffman were responsible for, so I think in many ways 
Margarete was really the one who first introduced me to the possibilities of 
feminist digital art. What I especially love about her work is the way all 
the many layers are ultimately transparent. Even though some of her writing 
may appear confusing at first glance, there is a depth and fundamental 
coherence to it that I find fascinating. As engaging as her work is at a 
first look, as often as I come back to it and look again, I invariably find 
there is always even more to it.
http://www.konsum.net/
http://www.ludic-society.net


Amy Alexander
Like Margarete, Amy is someone I admired first, long before I had the pleasure 
of becoming personally acquainted with her. The first time I heard of Amy's 
work was when she received an Honorary Mention in the Prix Ars Electronica 
for the Multicultural Recycler. When we later met through the Faces mailing 
list, I thoroughly enjoyed her sense of humor and her delightfully geeky 
interests. As we have stayed in contact since then, this is what I continue 
to especially appreciate and enjoy. What I love about Amy's work is the way 
the humor, the not-so-serious view of things, is rooted in a very serious and 
well founded understanding of the issues at stake. She has an amazing ability 
to grasp complex issues and condense them into concise and witty statements.
http://amy-alexander.com/


Paula Graham
Some years ago there was an interesting thread on the Linuxchix issues 
mailing list about how the women subscribed to the list became involved in 
computing. All the stories were wonderful to read, but the one that 
completely blew me away was Paula Graham's. Not very long after that, I had 
the great pleasure of meeting Paula at the Eclectic Tech Carnival in Graz, 
and she has been very high on my personal list of most admired women ever 
since.
I'm not sure whether Paula actually invented the term accidental techie, but 
she is certainly the person I learned it from, meaning that when any kind of 
group reaches the point where they need to use technology, *somebody* has to 
figure out how to do it. Paula is most insistent about convincing other women 
to be self-confident and self-reliant enough – no matter what their 
background – to become that *somebody*. One of the most important lessons I 
have learned from Paula is that women don't always need to be nice, and 
that can be quite a liberating insight.

 I compose virtual sound environments and transform my scores in
 multimedia interfaces. I am extending and re-implementing an Interactive
 Sonic Environment - London Underground, which I initially built in
 Director, using Lingo language.

 Soon, I will launch my site that links the metros of London, Paris and
 México, thus you can have a virtual journey through the sounds of these
 three acoustic environments, on Internet.

 As a branch of this work, I have worked a networked off-line
 improvisation called Listening and Remembering, for commuters and
 their voice (in México and Paris), in collaboration with Peter
 Batchelor.

 Technology for me is not a goal, but a set of powerful cultural tools to
 analyse, experiment with, and extend perceptions of the world. My recent
 artistic work is mainly based on ethnographic work with commuters:

 I am inspired and feel encouraged with these women's work in art and
 technology:

 Pauline Oliveros: her outstanding work in electronic music and the
 continuous innovation in the use of technologies extending her
 philosophy of deep listening.

 http://www.deeplistening.org/site/artists/O

 IONE: her art, dynamic networking, stimulating women's art and power
 through dream work, using telecircles. http://ionedreams.us/

 Serena Alexander: Strong electroacoustic textures and gestures, clean
 and master work, extending the power of her voice.

 Jess Laccetti: a master blogger! http://www.jesslaccetti.co.uk

 Noemí Peña: researcher in high technology to create Custom Ceramic
 Products

 Many thanks for forwarding it Ruth. It seems that my account still
 doesn't work for sending messages, but I receive them all!

 Wonderful idea, congratulations for acknowledging  women's work in 
 technology.

 Best,

[NetBehaviour] if you have a moment

2009-03-28 Thread Michael Szpakowski

If you have a moment please take a look at this video work by first year 
students from University of Teesside. 
I (and they) would be grateful for comments, if you're so inclined, which can 
be appreciative and/or critical 
(although I would moderate out anything that was wholly damning)

thanks
