nsane.forums Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Very soon the six strikes anti-piracy program will kick off in the United States but the RIAA isn’t just sitting back and presuming that it will be an anti-piracy cure-all. Since early November the recording industry group has massively upped the number of DMCA notices it issues to make content harder to find. From an average of between 200,000 and 240,000 URL requests sent every week to Google, the RIAA has just posted 463,000 and 666,000 in successive weeks. The well-publicized six-strikes anti-piracy scheme is just around the corner. The MPAA, RIAA and several large Internet service providers in the United States will work together to monitor file-sharers and send them warnings in the hope that they will start spending small fortunes on CDs, DVDs and digital downloads. While the monitoring and warning-sending while be fairly widespread, there are limitations as to who can be reached. There is a distinct possibility that once they receive a warning, file-sharers will either take steps to hide their online identities through the use of anonymity technologies like VPNs, or will shift to cyberlocker type services that cannot be monitored. So, to make things as difficult as possible for both sets of users, rightsholders have been sending ever-increasing volumes of DMCA takedown notices, not just to torrent, cyberlocker and other linking sites, but also to Google. They hope that when Internet users can’t find what they want through a Google search they will grow increasingly tired of looking and turn to official outlets instead. Google has been receiving huge numbers of these takedowns. To date, anti-piracy company Degban has sent the most – a staggering 8.2 million in total. Microsoft has sent 5.5 million followed by Froytal who deal with the porn industry. Listed twice (once as copyright holders and once as reporting organizations) bed-fellows the BPI and RIAA have also been sending huge numbers of takedowns, but this month have broken all records. To give an idea of the scale, back in June this year the RIAA was sending takedown requests to Google at the rate of around 100,000 per week, with the BPI sending around 70,000. At the end of the July the BPI suddenly started sending around 150,000, with the RIAA reaching a steady 200,000 per week. As can be seen from the diagram above, early September the BPI boosted their volumes significantly, to around 244,000 takedowns a week, increasing to between 300,000 and 330,000 in the weeks that followed. The RIAA maintained 200,000 to 230,000 steadily until the first week of November and then, pretty much out of nowhere, they massively turned up the heat. In the week commencing November 5, the RIAA sent 463,000 URL takedown requests to Google, doubling their busiest week ever. Then the following week (last week), the recording industry group sent a mind-boggling 666,000 takedown requests to Google in just 7 days. So who are they targeting with all these takedowns? Of course, the usual suspects are all there including the major torrent sites, but perhaps what is most surprising is that the most-targeted sites aren’t the ones the RIAA chooses to report to the USTR in its ‘notorious markets‘ review. In the “non-P2P linking sites” section of the review, only the FileTube.com search engine is given a mention by the RIAA. However, although it is heavily targeted by rightsholders (and RIAA members individually), the site doesn’t appear in the RIAA’s top five most-targeted domains on Google. The most DMCA’d sites are Downloads.nl (396,094), MP3s.pl (275,035), MP3Searchy.com (253,942), WebLagu.com (225,471) and Audiko.net (189,224). Will the RIAA break one million URL takedowns a week by the end of the year? There’s only six weeks left to find out.

Ambrocious Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 So there will be spying on the people from the ISP's on a major level? I may disconnect my internet and never come back...either that or download 1,000 plus things and go to prison a martyr. I won't stand for a publicly enslaved country at the mercy of the RIAA. It's almost like they are asking for a global riot or something. SHARING IS CARING. I don't care about the mega corporations much, they already have more money than they will ever need many lifetimes over again. It is the ordinary person who benefits from sharing and it is the ordinary man woman and child who needs to begin sharing at light speed. They can not lock every single one of us away and if they do, what does that say about them? They make entertainment, we share it because we like it, they imprison us because they hate us for "stealing" it when in reality, our sharing of thier files is a compliment which is vastly overlooked. They treat music and movies like food or cloths which can be worn or consumed. Using the motto of punishment for downloading and sharing music and movies is literally likened to psychological and mental warfare considering we cannot eat or wear movies or music. It is all mental stimulation. Anyone else fail to see the logic here? The modern day entertainment industry has made us into pirates by raising the cost of all things and making the standard of life deplorable. Food prices have skyrocketed, gasoline (petrol) has always been TOO HIGH and the amount of money being doled out to the public is slim enough to make a person believe in his heart of hearts that they are a prisoner of their own jobs. It all makes for a public being paid the wages of the ultimate minority while the few are still on thrones as they watch like birds of prey, seeing us ushered into a system of dominance over the entire populace of humanity. Anyone who is a musician or a producer of entertainment should endorse things such as VODO and Kopimi. As Jayme Gutierrez puts it so eloquently in his pretty awesome song, do it yourself, you get to keep your money. Don't rely on major music labels, you can get there on your own and when you do make it to the top, you will take healthy pride in knowing that YOU did this, not anyone or anything else.

Ambrocious Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, I know that for a long time that Google had intimate ties with the CIA, at least when it comes to who "funds" both companies and how they were inner connected with each other. There seems to be a massive shift however, a rebellion rising in the air of things. Who knows if Google is siding with them, or us. Because Google has so much power behind it and all of those brilliant minds there, if they mount and entire information war against the corruption in the governments, people would shit bricks.

Ambrocious Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I wonder when Google will become Skynet and retaliate Skynet, in the ideal form anyways, is indeed part of the United States defenses (or so it's rumored). Not only that, they also have aircraft that would be considered to be a UFO. The technologies they had in the 1940's could wipe out whole cities...and if technologies have more than quadrupled in a short time span, we now have weapons that can form black holes or stranglets...they destroy EVERYTHING, even light.

It's a part of their business. If they want to do business, they will have to keep law enforcement in their pockets. But when you allow law orgs to take control of your business, you are making a fool out of yourself. Google bribes (lawfully it's known as something else there in US) the US govt just to make sure they don't interfere with their business, but these MAFIAA and other agencies are real asses. Google sides with no one, unless it effects their business. But they should remember, they are a for-the-public company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
