Stepping up the battle against entertainment piracy, Verizon Communications Co. have entered a long-term programming deal that calls for the phone company to send a warning to Internet users suspected of pirating Disney's content on its broadband services. EDITED TO ADD: If you can't read the Wall Street Journal link, another article.

CommentsBetter-than-Nothing • September 23, 2005 7:56 AM Reading the full article requires a susbscription I don't have, so I didn't read it. That said, from what is posted here, I don't see any problem, in fact it's a great idea. Let's face it, Disney can only identify IP addresses of downloaders. So short of suing some John Doe and issuing a civil subpoena, what can they do? Partnering with the ISP allows them to give notice to *suspected* pirates easily. Once put on notice, Verizon customers will either 1.) cut it out, 2.) have a talk with their teenage kid(s) to about cutting it out, 3.) determine their computer is an open proxy through which all manner of Internet miscreants funnel traffic, or 4.) start using a proxy when pirating so somebody else gets the next "knock it off" notice. What's wrong with that? Most parents have no idea what their kids are doing online. Perhaps this would alert them. Same for compromised proxies computers. Which leaves the people who are actually downloaded content illegally. What's the harm in giving them fair warning? At least then, when they are sued or arrested, they won't have the pathetic "I had no idea" excuse... Justin • September 23, 2005 8:03 AM "This seems like a really bad idea." Attempting to draw out some further explanation at risk of flames galore. What, exactly, is the problem? 56u6767 • September 23, 2005 8:04 AM Presumably "pirates" do not download the illegal "content" from Disney. So how does Disney know the offender's IP? Joseph • September 23, 2005 8:04 AM I actually think this is a good idea too. I was worried from the title of the article that Verizon would be trying to do some kind of real-time packet monitoring, which would be a very bad idea. But adding a second step between being detected by a third party and being subpoenaed is a great idea. The only addition I would add would be a "Do Not Warn" list kept by verizon, for those crazy enough to wait for the court notice. Bruce Schneier • September 23, 2005 8:17 AM "Reading the full article requires a susbscription I don't have..." That's odd. I have no subscription to anything, and I can read it. Bruce Schneier • September 23, 2005 8:21 AM The problem is that the media companies target anyone who might possibly be violating their copyright instead of trying to make sure, and tend to intimidate first and ask questions later. I want data carriers to be just that: carriers of data. I don't want them to be monitoring content. And I think there should be penalties if Disney threatens legal action against innocent people. Dimitris Andrakakis • September 23, 2005 8:41 AM Search Results: 9/22/05 WSJ Entertainment: Verizon to Police Web Customers To Protect Disney From Piracy :-( paul • September 23, 2005 8:48 AM As it's written, this seems mostly like a really bad deal for Disney: they don't get the identities of people they believe are violating the law, and the law-breakers get warnings that allow them to change tactics so as not to get caught. Of course, the devil is in the details: if you don't have to ask for a subpoena (which costs money and exposes you to at least a little liability if you screw up completely), you're going to be issuing a lot more warnings. And of course there's the question of what happens when multiple warning get issued on the same IP. And ultimately, loss of service for appearing on Disney's list becomes part of the terms of service and you're done... K • September 23, 2005 9:07 AM The monitoring approach itself has significant flaws regardless of who does it. I want to see the company who in plain English, periodically throughout their service notifies its customers that all their communications are being monitored just in case they might do something that somebody else – not even necessarily the law – thinks is wrong. In this case, it's not hard to download via another person's computer, and I don't have to be consistent about the address, even if I'm using the same computer. Hell, I can use many computers simultaneously for different pieces of the same content and if I really want to get tricky I can encrypt and reroute so content analysis via a single point is nigh impossible. Even presuming this would work in some fashion, somebody has to get in the business of continual monitoring and analysis of all traffic to identify some traffic. That's a little too much like a stranger coming into everyone's house and camping out in their living room -- it's invasive and feels like "guilty until proven innocent". Secondly, employing Verizon to act as a vehicle to alarm, threaten, or warn on behalf of another company is also invasive, and I think is a dangerous precedent. I don't recall any of the Bells actually involving themselves in the business of wiretapping, and I certainly don't recall random or consistent monitoring of communications being allowed without significant indication it was required for a specific case. That the communications have become more powerful and flexible doesn't excuse the change in treatment – in my view they are still private (although poorly protected) communications. US citizen freedoms aside (that happens a lot these days); this also potentially damages the reputation of those receiving the communications, when they likely have done nothing wrong. It's not as if the primary vehicles of electronic communications are bastions of privacy. Can I sue Disney and Verizon if a piece of forwarded mail puts my boss at the bank on edge because he thinks I'm stealing something from Disney? And if I'm a clerk, where do I get the resources to sue such behemoths? If you suspect I am breaking the law, the proper action is to involve law enforcement. If you are not certain enough to involve law enforcement and the courts, stay out of my business. And if there are so many people suspected of not playing by your rules that you can't afford to sue them all -- it's probably time to consider playing a different game. The game you are playing is a long-term loosing proposition. None of these actions address the real problem for Disney and the rest of the entertainment industry. The model that made them large and wealthy has lost a good deal of validity in the face of technological change. The behavior they rail against is a natural extension of existing practice. They will be chasing their tails and bleeding money trying to catch and enforce potentially millions of 'violators', (many of which may be engaging in fair use once examined) and still do nothing to resolve the root cause. The business model itself, and the technology employed to support it has to change and adapt. RvnPhnx • September 23, 2005 9:14 AM I hate to say it, but there is not any legal way that I know of which Disney or any other company could get the IP address of somebody downloading something from some site other than their own without some sort of subpoena power against the individual running the site providing the download. Bugs Bunny • September 23, 2005 9:35 AM @RvnPhnx: "Verizon and Disney are just setting themselves up to be sued out of existence with this one." You've convinced me. Maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all. :^) When will Verizon start alerting customers that they may have had an illegal conversation over a voice line about Disney intellectual property? Jarrod Frates • September 23, 2005 9:37 AM @rvnPhnx: They're talking about things like P2P, or if they have shut down a site through other legal means and have access to the logs. They are not doing anything other than providing a warning, and don't seem to be asking for any identifying information in return. This allows them to attempt to limit things without getting a lot of bad press about suing people, and perhaps even get some good press for going about it in a less-intrusive way. Rich • September 23, 2005 10:18 AM I wonder what's in it for the ISP. When a DSL or Cable provider advertises a 512bps upload bandwidth, but blocks things like port 80, so you can't use the service as a 'server', what do they think you're going to do with that bandwidth? Ok, sure, sending those 10Megapixel Disney vacation photos will be faster... They know full well that a lot of their customers are sharing stuff, and a lot of it is probably copyright infringement. I don't think they could care less about fair use. The ISPs see customers willing to pay for a service, few questions asked, and are willing to provide it, for a fee. So, if Disney wants Verizon to scare customers, what's in it for Verizon? peter • September 23, 2005 10:21 AM Actually Verizon wouldn't have to monitor the traffic to identify the IPs. Using BitTorrent, which most pirates use now, I suspect that some IT person at Disney would just identify an illegal disney torrent and join the swarm. Once you join you get a list of all the IP's in the swarm from the torrent tracker service. It would be very easy to automate all of this. Once you have an IP in the Verizon class range you simply ask Verizon to issue a warning. Rich • September 23, 2005 10:49 AM @peter "Using BitTorrent, which most pirates use now" I used to work with a grandmother who had a subscription to Netflix and made copies for the grandkids. She wasn't particularily computer savy, but she could make her way through the point&click DVD copy software she had. Jan • September 23, 2005 11:03 AM I also do not access to the article. I can only speculate that the content relates to P2P content and the DMCA. Alex Krupp • September 23, 2005 11:31 AM Is this the first time any company has targeting downloading? So far it has only been uploading AFAIK. Of course it could just be sloppy writing, as is usually the case in newspapers. Davi Ottenheimer • September 23, 2005 11:42 AM @ Bruce "I have no subscription to anything, and I can read it." That's odd. I'm getting the same error as everyone else. I had to get a subscription to the WSJ to read the article. The thing that stood out to me is that Verizon appears to be so desperate for Disney content, that they willingly agreed to a monitoring practice as part of the deal. "The provision was announced as part of a content deal that will provide Verizon with Disney and ESPN programming and broadband services. New York-based Verizon, one of several telephone carriers launching video services to compete against cable companies, also secured 12 Disney channels, including ESPN, ABC News Now and the Disney Channel for its new television service, Fios TV, which will start rolling out today in Texas." The story is brief, but the rest of it is bascially about how Verizon once stood up to the DMCA and they will "still respect the privacy of our customers". Disney execs were quoted as saying "Woo-hoo! We won! We got Verizon to go along with it! Yeah baby! High five! if you want our content, you're going to have to give up some privacy! Mickey don't come for free! If you want to play with the big dogs, you're going to have to pay!" Ok, just kidding. But the "CEO-elect" is quoted as saying "the rest of the industry should pay heed". Davi Ottenheimer • September 23, 2005 11:50 AM Here are some related links for those who don't want to pay to view: Verizon Catches the Mouse Verizon and The Walt Disney Company Sign Long-Term Programming Agreement Fios TV Subscriber Privacy Notice Agreement Includes Cooperative Plan to Help Curb Internet Piracy of Disney's Copyrighted Material Verizon's FiOS TV Signs Disney, Woos Fox etc. Clive Robinson • September 23, 2005 12:29 PM I don't know about the US but in the UK ISP's try to get and maintain "Common Carrier Status" in this way they reduce their legal liability. ie you don't sue the telco for the heavy breathing caller. You contact the telco to tell them you have a problem and they (usually) help you and the police catch the breather, they do not in any way warn off the breather. If an ISP started monitoring, they would open themselves up to all sorts of liability, as they would then become open to the legal argument that they where a "publisher" and therefore responsable for anything any of their customers sent out (ie a nice juciey liable, this has allready been tried in the UK and it unfortunatly went to an out of court setalment). Likewise if the ISP are informed that one of their customers is doing something somebody else does not like they need to take minimal involvment least they inherit liability. I think if Verizon tried this in the UK they might well discover that they would spend a lot of time in the civil courts unless they where very very carefull... Ari Heikkinen • September 23, 2005 12:49 PM The key here is "might be vialating the law", which means they will violate your right for privacy on merely suspicion. The idea here is, as Bruce pointed out, to "intimidate first and ask questions later". But again, people vote with their money. If you don't like your ISP then don't support their actions by giving them your money. RvnPhnx • September 23, 2005 1:08 PM @Ari Heikkinen Alan • September 23, 2005 1:21 PM I could not read the WSJ article, but google news found the info for me elsewhere: James • September 23, 2005 1:35 PM Without being able to read the article, I'd say offhand that it's a bad idea because there's just no way to do this monitoring effectively; it will inevitably catch, intimidate and cause problems for innocent people, just like the automated C&D letters some of the record labels have taken to sending out based purely on filenames. Nick • September 23, 2005 1:49 PM
That is, if one person provides the content and 1000 other people receive copies, and they spawn additional copies ... it still traces back to the original. Now, there's probably always going to be someone willing to take the risk of copying/hosting the data, but Disney's focus should be on making that risk untenable, rather than busting someone further downstream who had nothing to do with the 'original' theft. Koray Can • September 23, 2005 2:14 PM Sweet deal, imho. Verizon can slack all day want, and if Disney asks "has anyone downloaded any of our fine, copyrighted content?", they just say "no, sir". How is Disney going to argue ? Ari Heikkinen • September 23, 2005 2:22 PM "So tell me now, if voting in the booth doesn't fix this and both voting with my feet and voting with my wallet do no better, what can I do?" If a big corporation owns everything where you live and the law is behind them then you're probably SOL (Shit Out of Luck), unless either the law gets changed or that big corporation is losing money. RvnPhnx • September 23, 2005 2:46 PM @Ari Heikkinen Ari Heikkinen • September 23, 2005 2:52 PM Well, there's still class action lawsuits if you're in the US, but I'd imagine they only work if that big corporation is doing something that might be illegal. Joseph • September 23, 2005 3:17 PM I still think there is a lot of misunderstanding of the system. As far as I understand, *Verizon* ISN'T monitoring, filtering, wiretapping, or doing anything. *Disney* is doing all the monitoring and wiretapping. Verizon has just provided a way for Disney to contact the owner of an IP address without resorting to legal action. I don't understand what the big deal is here. Domains already have publicly available contact information in case something is wrong. Why shouldn't Verizon provide a service to notify users based on an IP address? I agree there should be an opt out option... Roy Owens • September 23, 2005 5:19 PM Suppose I am a Verizon customer and have a programmed function regularly updating NOAA weather predictions, Verizon's algorithm -- mistakenly -- decides to suspect me of illegally downloading content and then sends me a warning. Since I'm not personally online, I don't get the warnings. Then Disney goes after me. Or worse, my machine gets hijacked by some outfit stealing Disney product. Since I cannot prove my innocence, Disney is free to clobber me in the courtroom based on the presumption that whatever records a huge corporation and heavyweight campaign contributor chooses to make, edit, and present are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I pay the fines, do the time, and have my life ruined. It sounds to me that Disney is awarding itself police powers on the federal, state, and local level. Which makes Verizon what, contract stoolies? If the scheme works, then when it works as intended it makes sense. But it will fail, and when it does, the innocent are going to get screwed, because when the courts find it is a question of whose money matters, Disney's and Verizon's, or Joe Nobody's, judges didn't get to where they were without learning where to curry favor. My hope is that Verizon is scamming Disney, taking their millions and reporting wonderful news, including a large number of first warnings, a tiny number of second warnings, and zero third warnings -- proof positive that Disney's billions are being successfully surreptitiously protected. The Disney board will be black and blue slapping each other on the back, and Verizon's stock will go up. Davi Ottenheimer • September 23, 2005 5:46 PM Here's the wording from the official Disney/Verizon announcement: http://investor.verizon.com/news/view.aspx?... "Under the agreement, Verizon would forward and track notices to its subscribers allegedly engaged in the unauthorized distribution of Disney's copyrighted works, without identifying the subscribers to Disney, and either provide subscriber identifying information pursuant to lawfully served subpoenas or terminate Verizon Internet service provided to subscribers who have infringed Disney copyrights and received multiple notices." James Corey • September 23, 2005 7:08 PM As a compromise from Verizon's point of view, I'm not sure whether I think it's good or bad. One thing it could do is undermine Verizon's ability to say that for privacy and security reasons, they don't keep a log of such mapping over time. But has this already been compromised by recent legislation? I mostly don't keep up because it's too depressing. For all I know they already maintain an accurate mapping and it's history, so this changes nothing. I have this vague feeling that there's a difference between a law on the books and having it already coded up and hooked up to a nice simple database to tantalize enforcement agencies into needing full access "for the war on X" and so forth. It doesn't even matter whether X is piracy, the effect could be the same as not having Verizon as middle-entity. Well, that's crazy. The American peole would never stand for that. Bruce Schneier • September 23, 2005 8:48 PM "I hate to say it, but there is not any legal way that I know of which Disney or any other company could get the IP address of somebody downloading something from some site other than their own without some sort of subpoena power against the individual running the site providing the download." They could ask nicely. They could threaten. Those are two ways; I'm sure there are more. Davi Ottenheimer • September 24, 2005 2:27 AM I was just starting to count sheep when I suddenly remembered that Disney managed to "influence" the US Govt to extend the Copyright Term. And that got me thinking that, as far as clever legal teams go, Disney has the US market wrapped up. I mean on the one hand they are telling Congress that they will wither and die if their 50-year old material ends up in the public domain or redistributed without penalties, and on the other hand (as Chris Sprigman notes) a great deal of their material is a rehash of 19th Century work that was in the public domain (e.g. Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Hunchback, Alice in Wonderland...even the Sorcerer's Apprentice, I might add). And if that isn't enough to make you wonder, Disney released the Jungle Book exactly one year after the author's copyrights expired. http://writ.news.findlaw.com/commentary/... Disney sounds like the kind of company that thrives from taking others' ideas and then finding a way to criminalize the very process of open invention that made them so successful. The Register has a particularly pointed argument of how/why Disney can do this, and how they manipulate the market: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/03/27/... "the goal of [the Senator from Disney] and his Senate supporters is simple. Under the guise of 'preserving America's intellectual capital' and supported by the funding of the entertainment industry cartels, they seek to sustain the entertainment industry's Industrial Age business model (and monopolies) in the modern Information Age - where such models are rendered obsolete by emerging technology. By doing so, these elected puppets of Hollywood will continue earning campaign contributions and ensure their job security." And perhaps most chilling, the Register also suggests that "In essence, they pre-emptively criminalize what MIGHT happen, as opposed to what DOES happen" Tethered Rose • September 24, 2005 12:27 PM @Bruce "I want data carriers to be just that: carriers of data. I don't want them to be monitoring content." I couldn't agree more. Especially now that we are sincerely trying to move towards a super-highway based on SOA. I believe first, that our data carriers should be looked at as trains, train stations should be looked at as routers/CA figures/etc.. and that interface cards should still act as conductors. Having said that, SOA is such a long way away as long as we continue to use "back of woods PC's" built and run by anyone who thinks they can do it and vulnerable to anyone who is even mildly interested in cracking and sniffing. (all puns intended). Before I seemingly ramble off topic or re-write history all over again, I shall now pull my finger out of proverbial hornet's nest. But yes, I couldn't agree more with your statement, as usual. Tethered Rose • September 24, 2005 12:42 PM "I hate to say it, but there is not any legal way that I know of which Disney or any other company could get the IP address of somebody downloading something from some site other than their own without some sort of subpoena power against the individual running the site providing the download." "They could ask nicely. They could threaten. Or they could do it the Microsoft Way! Steal identity information first, lie your ass off later! All MS products installed have been (at least since 1997/98 when the first truely powerful programmable network sniffing software came about), recording Internal IP and MAC addresses (even on subnets with super-high security(!)), and sending these IP and MAC's BACK to Redmond, in Plain Text. They are by FAR not the only culprits. I just happen to be able to point to that as a "fact, Jack!". The entire industry is disgustingly invasive and full of trickery and theiving that makes it almost impossible to bear without medication. Thanks for the theraputic ranting sections on your blog, Bruce. Tethered Rose • September 25, 2005 12:25 PM @RvnPhnx "So tell me now, if voting in the booth doesn't fix this and both voting with my feet and voting with my wallet do no better, what can I do?" Should be.. So tell me now, if voting in the booth, voting with my feet, voting with my wallet, my teeth, my eyes, do no better, what can I do? I say we use our voices and turn technology into something we can all watch, rewind, and replay all day long until the cows come home to ensure that every step of the way our laws, rules, and regulations match, meet, and/or exceed the pulse of our expectations by providing exactly what we need when we need it and re-calibrating it exactly when it's needed. Paul Johnson • September 26, 2005 4:23 PM I think that the email bit of this would actually be a good idea, especially if it was generally available. I keep getting spam viruses from one particular machine. I've identified the ISP from whois and emailed their abuse@. No response, no effect. It would be really useful to go to a web page, enter the IP address and time from the email, and some text telling the subscriber what the problem is. industry model and talent, industry model and talent studio • September 27, 2005 8:48 AM Thanks. Good comments!!! Chris Allison • September 30, 2005 2:12 AM As a university student residing on-campus, my ISP for most of the year is my university. Granted, the university only "resells"/provides a connection that they get from three "actual" providers, but the university serves for all practical, technical, and legal purposes as the ISP, at least from the perspective of both on campus users, and the RIAA & MPAA. As such, both above named organizations contact the university whenever they track the download of copyrighted material to university IPs, ITS LTS disconnects the machine in question from the network, and requests that the user delete the files named by the contacting organization. After the user states that they have deleted the content in question from their machines, they are allowed back on the network. This is different from the procedure followed when users are uploading copyrighted material - then the RIAA or MPAA sues. There doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of difference between that relationship and the one Bruce describers (I have not read the article). Granted, the legal status of the university vs. that of a "true" ISP is somewhat different in this case, but the procedure and idea behind it seem to be the same. Chris Allison • September 30, 2005 2:15 AM @Alex Krupp: "Is this the first time any company has targeting downloading?" No, The RI & MP AA pursue downloaders at my university, see my above comment for more detail. Ben Liddicott • October 4, 2005 9:22 AM A lot of Grandmothers do this, it seems. I haven't read the WSJ article, only Bruce's summary, but from that it looks like Disney have to supply an IP address and a date and time, to get Verizon to forward the note from Disney to the customer. Which, presumably, they get by infiltrating P2P services to see who is copying Disney content. This is enough cause to get a warrant to find out who the customer is, anyway. It seems to me that this is a much better policy than suing grandmothers without any kind of warning. To K: "If you suspect I am breaking the law, the proper action is to involve law enforcement." Really? Why can't I just tell you to knock it off? Why do I have to hassle police officers about what is after all a minor infarction? In any case isn't casual piracy a civil offence in which the police have no interest? I don't know about the US, but here in England & Wales, you don't have to involve the police. You can file a complaint with the Magistrate's Court yourself. Everyone has a right to enforce the law with respect to their own property, and we can all arrest those who commit serious crimes. The police have the additional role of doing this on behalf of the public, and so they have -- only a few -- additional powers. I certainly don't want to create a society where the only route to justice is through the police. Ben Liddicott Cory Albrecht • October 16, 2005 8:47 PM I fail to see what is so bad about this, especially since the phrase "Without divulging names or addresses to Disney" is in there. Last week when I got home from church last week I found this one IP address trying to log onto my computer via ssh with a different userid+password combination every 1.5 seconds. I used the whois utility on that IP address and got the Duke university abuse contact to which I fired off an email asking why this was happening. How is Disney's action any different from that? Dale • October 16, 2005 9:07 PM I don't mind Verizon taking ownership of, and responsibility for, the illegal activities of their customers as long as they take ownership and responsibility for all illegal activity by their customers. It seems to me that, by voluntarily monitoring and responding to a single class of illegal activity, Verizon could, and should, be held liable for all illegal activity by their customers, including child pornography, viruses, phishing, identity theft, spam, and any other activity that Verizon could have monitored as well. That sounds like balance. Isn't it said that with every right there is a responsibility? Bill • October 17, 2005 2:18 PM I haven't read the article either, but I'd bet the subpoenas are a red herring: they would be expensive for Disney, and Verizon has to comply with them anyway, regardless of this agreement. The important change is that Disney can now order Verizon to disconnect any of its customers at will. ISPs already have the right to do that (they write the contracts) but thankfully for free speech, their customers are valuable to them. As far as I can make out from the press releases, Verizon doesn't have the responsibility, or even the ability, to monitor any of the content. And that, from Disney's point of view, is the beauty of the scheme. The Disney people can include the IP addresses of any number of hostile critics, commercial competitors, or personal enemies among the thousands of pirates, and Verizon will be none the wiser. Victims may protest their innocence, but when Disney tells Verizon to pull the plug, Verizon will pull it. Terminating the relationship with a customer costs revenue, but much less than their liabilities to one of the world's most litigious corporations for breach of contract and perhaps for contributory copyright infringement. And even if you can somehow prove to Verizon that everything you did was legal, their relationship with Disney is far more important and lucrative. Nocturn • October 19, 2005 5:01 AM @Better-than-Nothing "from what is posted here, I don't see any problem, in fact it's a great idea. Let's face it, Disney can only identify IP addresses of downloaders. So short of suing some John Doe and issuing a civil subpoena, what can they do? Partnering with the ISP allows them to give notice to *suspected* pirates easily."
And what if you are identified incorrectly (so you're innocent)? I recommend anyone to who this happens into sueing Verizon for anything you can. Jeff Martens • October 22, 2005 10:23 AM I use Verizon DSL at home, and one hole in the process is that of notifying the customer. Verizon doesn't have my e-mail address, though they did give me an address when I signed up. I've never checked mail at that address, largely because of Verizon's affiliation with MSN. Do they phone the customer or send snail mail? I doubt it. So if I were to be suspected of these sorts of activities, Verizon would probably send the notice to my Verizon.net address, and I'd never see it. jjbb • February 7, 2008 1:08 PM This site - http://allearsnet.com/pl/fingerscan.htm - tries to make it sound like everything is okay. "Don't worry, just go along with the scanners". But it also mentions that if your biometrics don't match or you can't get the scanner to work properly, they will reset your biometric record and take a new reading. It also says that "During times of the day when lines of guests waiting to get into the park are long, some parks will turn off the biometric scanners to allow faster entry for everyone." Both of these seem to defeat the entire point of having the scanners! Disney seems to be sending the message that tracking you is very important, so long as it does not interfere with their profit. I can't believe people in general and the media in particular aren't more upset by this. ˚ İŗęŋĕ™ ˚ • December 11, 2008 3:16 PM Verizon and Disney are just setting themselves up to get sued all the way to hell. I mean they clearly put in BLACK and WHITE that (quote) "...We will be monitoring those suspected of illegally downloading content copyrighted by Disney Productions over the Internet..." Knowing that these tracking/monitoring devices (or whatever you call it, not really a computer know-it-all) are not always accurate, many innocent people will be blamed for doing absolutely nothing. Then, when I started drifting to sleep, I found something that got me laughing to myself; (quote) "...Verizon is finds the privacy of our customers vital. If you feel that your privacy rights are not being well respected, you may seek legal enforcement..." I mean COME ONE!! It's like standing in the middle of a street when you see a large truck coming your way at 600 miles an hour! Though I respect the opinions of the one who might agree with Verizon and Disney, I believe that my opinion should be heard too. Otherwise, hang on tight because this is going to be one hell of a ride! Subscribe to comments on this entry Leave a comment

Loic Remy move to QPR driven by money - Alan Shearer
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer has questioned Loic Remy's decision to sign for QPR instead of the Magpies.
The forward, 26, joined the Premier League's bottom side from Marseille on Wednesday, three days after a deal was agreed with 16th-placed Newcastle.
"I am surprised to see Remy go to QPR instead of Newcastle," said Shearer.

"I would have a good guess financial things had a part to play. While I hope QPR get out of it, I find it hard to say he chose them over Newcastle."
France international Remy travelled to Tyneside on Sunday for talks and a medical after Newcastle agreed an £8m fee with Marseille.
Keen to replace top scorer Demba Ba following his move to Chelsea, the Magpies were hoping to complete a deal by the middle of this week.
But QPR manager Harry Redknapp persuaded the front man to change his mind and join the relegation-threatened Loftus Road club. It is believed that QPR are paying him more than £70,000 a week after spending a club record £8m to sign him.
Remy's decision means Newcastle - two points above the relegation zone - still need to replace Ba, who remains their leading scorer with 13 goals despite his move to Stamford Bridge on 4 January.
"It is a tough one for him," Newcastle's all-time leading scorer Shearer said. "He will believe he has a better chance of winning things there and at the moment he probably has.
"Having said that, he gave his all in a Newcastle shirt, played well and scored goals, so I don't think anybody can complain.
"But it is disappointing to see our top scorer leave. Hopefully, they will have a plan B and a plan C because it's left Newcastle with a huge gap that they obviously need to fill."

19th January 2013 - 17:05488. Oh dear, you are honestly mentioning a non existent worthless competition as an honour? Don't make me laugh!! Oh, you just did.
The fact is, alot of footballers are just in it for the money, thats why its professional football and not amateur football, if he was in it for the glory he should have stayed at Marseille. -

19th January 2013 - 15:53Surely it has something to do with Loic preferring to live in London rather than the NE, after all its grim up there. Couple that with a slightly better personal package and the choice is easy.
it's not like he would be winning or even challenging for major trophies with QPR or Newcastle. He had a better chance of that with Marseille! -

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Vivus, Chelsea, BioCryst
By the way, Teva (TEVA) and BioSante have not disclosed the exact royalty rate on Libigel sales except to say that it's mid-single digits.
Bob H.'s email is more indicative of the response I've received about BioSante this week:
"Wow, you are a [bleep]ing [bleep]! Pretty clear you [bleep]ing some [bleep], you [bleep]ing [bleep]. Go [bleep] yourself -- nobody likes you."
I did post the uncensored and clearly NSFW version of Bob's email to my Twitter feed for those who want a laugh.
@oncoslearning asks, "What's your take on Exelixis (EXEL) and the impact of their recent stock offering?" The $65 million stock offering, priced at $5.50 per share, probably doesn't do much to enhance Exelixis' credibility with investors. Remember, the company raised money almost a year ago at $11 per share. Deal pricing is going in the wrong direction. Stepping back from the stock offering, Exelixis' experimental prostate cancer drug cabozantinib -- "cabo" for short -- suffers from an identity crisis. Existing cabo data suggest the drug is effective at reducing bone pain in late-stage prostate cancer patients, yet FDA won't allow the drug to be approved based solely on a pain-lowering benefit. Exelixis must show that cabo can prolong survival but where is the evidence the drug can do that? Further clouding cabo's future are competing drugs -- Zytiga, MDV3100, Alpharadin, OGX-011-- that have demonstrated or may demonstrate a survival benefit in prostate cancer patients well before the two phase III studies of cabo are completed. For Exelixis, cabo might be too little, too late. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Adam Feuerstein. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adamfeuerstein. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

The first half of 2011 is coming to an end, and none too soon for those of us engaged in building products. The second half looks to be much better for our industry and the economy in general. Unemployment is expected to decline from here – finally – slowly, but steadily. Gas prices are forecasted to continue to come down, as always, not as fast as they shot up, but back into a more reasonable range as the summer progresses. These two facts should make consumers feel better about where they are in life and hopefully be ready to spend some money again.
For us in building products, we hope at least some of that increase in spending will go to fixing up homes. There isn't much that makes a homeowner feel better than improving their home. It's an investment in the future. Whether they plan to stay in the home, or hope to sell it when prices start to rebound, improving a home offers many benefits. You and your family are happier while you remain living there, and if the plan is to sell, making "good" improvements will add value to it for the future.
Things like highly energy efficient replacement windows make your home more attractive, more comfortable, and add significant value to it. If you've been putting off replacing those ugly drafty old windows, how about doing it now? Remember, things are getting better even if the politicians don't want you to think so. Over 90% of people have jobs and aren't losing them. Gas prices are coming down, and there are some great values and sales going on with windows and doors for your home. Check the internet for a good, reputable home improvement dealer in your area and check out their credentials, then call them for a free in home estimate – you won't regret it – it's time to take this economy back into your own hands and make that decision.

Jets Insider.com Staff Writer |
firstname.lastname@example.com |
November 21st, 2008 |
Last week, many would say the mettle of Gang Green will surely be tested by its arch rival the Patriots. Well, here they are again with another mountain to climb in the Tennessee Titans. The Titans (10-0) are looking to build upon the comeback victory against Jacksonville last week while the Jets (7-3) are trying to ride high on the swagger that's developed over the past few weeks. This has playoff preview written all over it considering the Titans are first in rushing touchdowns while the Jets run defense hasn't let anything run so much as a smidgen by them this season.
But the pass defense has been lack luster most of the season, save a good game here (Week 10 vs. STL) and an okay game there (Week 1 vs. Mia). With quarterbacks like Matt Cassel and, dare it be said, Tyler Thigpen throwing all over the Jets, who knows what big-armed Kerry Collins will do if given time in the pocket. "I think pass defense is coordinated and there were multiple opportunities where the quarterback was able step up into the pocket or get out of the pocket," head coach Eric Mangini said of last weeks game against New England. "That puts a lot more pressure on the secondary. So that's an area we have to improve and I think also the coverage, we can make a lot of strides there as well." Those strides may be made with the recent comeback of CB Ty Law. He could act as a stop gap and tutor to DB Dwight Lowery. Lowery has been struggling as of late and it'll be interesting if Lowery and Law are caught on camera talking shop on the sidelines. Law's presence in the locker room bodes well for the young secondary and could create more unity as December approaches. Law played 57 snaps last Thursday and he held up well against WR's Randy Moss and Wes Welker. The question of whether Mangini would be comfortable with Law starting this Sunday was floated out there this morning and he, oddly, had no problem in being very honest on that subject. "I'd be completely comfortable with him starting," he said. "He's a guy like I said I have a long relationship with to where were comfortable with his preparation, his level of conditioning, his performance, all of those things. I think last week was a good indication of where he's at physically. I thought that he played at a pretty good level last week." Mangini said that last week, they weren't going into the game with expectations of playing a lot of plays in substituted defenses when the Patriots went into no huddle during the game. And that Law adjusted well to it. "He was pretty sore but it was good that we had the break that we had right after the game so pretty unique in how quickly he played, how much he played," he said. Law played a key role up until he let Randy Moss make a fingertip grab in the corner of the endzone to tie the game with eight seconds last week. He showed almost no rust and looks as if he hadn't missed a beat. "They trust me and they have confidence in me," Law said. "I've been a starter in this league for a long time. I don't think it's [starting] that big of a deal." Wait! The Jets have a run defense. Gang Green's affinity for stopping the run this season is a key component to the success of the team as whole. Considering the defensive line has been as solid as rock this season, Sunday's game against the Titans could be the biggest test yet for the group, considering they're facing two electric Pro-Bowl-type running backs. "I think Chris Johnson is an explosive guy," Mangini said. "He can score anywhere on the field. LenDale White tends to be a little bit more of their inside runner, but he also has an 80yard touchdown." With guys like NT Kris Jenkins and DE Shaun Ellis producing up front this year, it'll be interesting to see if QB Kerry Collins forces one or two into the wrong spots if Johnson or White can't push through. If Gang Green doesn't break containment on plays up the middle, it could make the game that much more of a toss-up. Look for Ellis and Jenkins to get after the quarterback if the Titans offensive line slips up. "They are playing well," S Kerry Rhodes said. "They are the only undefeated team in the league, so they have to be playing the best ball. It's another chance for us as another measuring stick game. Right now, every game is big. We are trying to get more and more momentum and go from there." The momentum from last week hasn't hurt has it? The Jets will have to stress a point of emphasis that Mangenius and Co. has stressed since training camp: balance. The offense will need that stability in order to give Tennessee its first loss because as the stats go, when the Jets run the ball well, they win. Running backs Thomas Jones and Leon Washington will have to execute early and often to open up some seams in the passing game. It's safe to say that all aspects of this team are important to win this Sunday, but these two backs are essential to that balance that Mangini tries to achieve. "It's not so much a balance, but it's attacking a team in the right spots at the right time," Washington said. " INSIDER TIDBITS Mike Nugent and Jay Feely: Possible Danceoff? Coach Mangini said that Nugent has been getting better by each week and that it's been a unique injury situation with him coming back and Feely kicking really well. "We have a good kicking situation," he said. "And I'm going to make my decision at the end of the week." When asked, jokingly, if it's based off a kickoff that they haven't practiced, he said, "Like a dance off?" "No not necessarily. Some of it's based on the handling time with the field goal operation. Very important how quickly you get the ball off. But I like the dance off kickoff thing," he said with laughs emanating from the media. Sutton Sits Down Defensive Coordinator Bob Sutton sat down with the media to discuss this Sunday's game against Tennessee. Popular topic of discussion: Ty Law. "I think what he did was really remarkable just for the fact that he must have done a good job staying in condition on his own," he said. "But it's still difficult to duplicate what it is to be in game condition with your pads on. But I think he did a good job in that regard." Sutton said that Law's success is a wealth of knowledge that he share with the players. "He's close to Darrelle [Revis] anyways since they're from the same town." Sutton was asked if there was any concern matching up Law with Randy Moss his first game back. "Ty is a pretty savvy guy and one of the things from the first time he played here is that he's a highly competitive guy," he said. "He loves to play and he loves to compete. He likes a challenge and he likes to make plays." Sutton and Gang Green need to shut down the receiving core of the Titans. Specifically, WR Justin Gage and TE Bo Scaife. Although Gage does not have a ton of receptions (21) he's second on the Titans in receiving yards (376) to Bo Scaife (450) Scaife also leads the team in catches. "Gage has made some really good plays down field," Sutton said. "We've got to do a good job. We can't give him an easy play. They're a very patient group." He Just Wants To Go Home On Fridays, DE Shaun Ellis doesn't shower so he can go home early on Fridays. His teammates were heckling him in the locker room when he was walking out. DB Darrelle Revis dove at his legs and was yelling, "Don't do it Shaun, don't do it." Injury Report Not much change here. LB David Harris and S Eric Smith did not practice. WR Laveranues Coles did drills but was limited. K Mike Nugent worked on kickoffs. |

The best part of saved by the bell was the realistic wrestling segments :twitcy:
Maybe this was the photo:
I don't care how bad they say the movie showgirls is. The deleted scenes and the naked scenes of Elizabeth Birkley getting naked at that time in my life was good enough. It did not even need a plot. To see Jesse Spano naked made my life until that point. Just being honest here folks.
I'm not in any hurry to get Professor Lasky's sloppy seconds, plus her short hair cut as not an improvement over her high school look.
Also, she dressed like she was in grunge band in half of the college years episodes. I don't want to see Kelly wearing a flannel coat and baggy jeans.
I sadly admit that I own all five seasons of Saved by the Bell on DVD. They were used for the Saved by the Bell Drinking Game in college. Wow, those were some crazy nights.
Remember when Zack got all cocky with the school song "Cool School" and his friends slipped him a mickey?
This thread is pushing the fine line between greatness and being totally pathetic. After that blast referencing the Attic it is now leaning towards greatness again. :biglaugh:

The Future Of Air Travel Looks Good, By Airbus
The future of air travel can be defined in a number of ways. Right now more legroom, lower fares and a muzzle on barking luggage fees would be nice. But what will air travelers want and need in the future?
Aircraft manufacturers have to consider factors ranging from environmental concerns to building long-term business relationships, pitting face-to-face meetings (increasing demand for air) vs. communication via social media platforms (no air needed). Add in sourcing better, lighter building materials, fuel for new engines, and using cost-efficient construction techniques not invented yet and things can get confusing.
To help make sense of it all Airbus put together an infographic (below) that considers these factors and more as well as an ebook, "The Future By Airbus," that provides some direction.
Airbus began looking to the next 40-plus years in 2010, seeking out other industry stakeholders and experts to anticipate the global needs of a better-connected and more sustainable world.
So what does the future bring? Well, there's an app for that too.Researching the world's changing population, the Airbus Concept Cabin app shows what the future of flight might look like from the passengers' perspective. The idea is that aircraft cabins of the future will be customized to the needs of individual passengers.
We see no mention of any concerns about legroom or baggage fees in the future. Now that's something to look forward to.

Noni's: Our server told us that this O4W restaurant will be making some significant menu changes soon. Among the additions will be — surprise! — hamburgers. This doesn't exactly fit the theme of an Italian restaurant, but it probably fits the young crowd quite well.
I had my usual for dinner here — a Caesar salad and the chicken-eggplant parmigiana. The latter, I'm afraid, was quite a deviation from the usual. The chicken breading was soggy and the eggplant was cut into small pieces.
Wayne was sorry to see his favorite, the peas and pecorino, off the menu, but enjoyed the meatball-filled wedding soup and a plate of pasta.
Home Grown GA: The breakfast-and-lunch spot recently acquired a smoker and the hickory-roasted chicken I ordered was A-plus-good. It was served with a strong, hot barbecue sauce. Wayne ordered a sandwich of pimento cheese, bacon and fried green tomatoes — something that's escalating its appearance on menus all over town.
Unfortunately, the diner will not be opening for dinner, according to Kevin Clark, the chef and and co-owner.
Holy Taco: Yeah, I rushed back here after a recent dinner. This time I ordered a dish unfortunately going off the menu — roasted cauliflower, dates and manzanilla olives. My entree was three tacos — chicken hearts, pork shoulder and chicken with pickled radishes. The corn tortillas didn't hold up as well as they should, but I don't mind using a fork.
Eclipse di Luna: A great lunch with my usual Friday pals. The all-tapas menu has been changed a bit. I had a sandwich of serrano ham and manchego cheese, plus lamb meatballs with a light apricot glaze and a chili arbol sauce.

Trumbetti's heart always with Notre Dame
By Jared Shanker
A Notre Dame fan his whole life,
Andrew Trumbetti
(Demarest, N.J./Demarest) always has had the Fighting Irish at the top of his list, but he was exploring his other options recently. He visited Florida and wanted to get to Stanford before a decision.
The ESPN Watch List defensive end visited South Bend, Ind., this weekend, though, and it became clear there was no longer any need to look around. Notre Dame was always the right place for him, and he committed.
"It felt like he was really listing other schools and he had gone down to Florida and loved it," Demarest coach Tony Mottola said, "but I felt his heart has always been at Notre Dame. When he was there this weekend and he sat down with Coach [Brian] Kelly and Coach [Bob] Diaco and met the guys, it was going to be tough for him to get out of there this weekend without some type of decision."
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Trumbetti has been a fan of Notre Dame as long as he can remember, so after his sophomore season he and his father traveled to South Bend to work out at the Irish's camp. He left with an offer, and Trumbetti has been a heavy Notre Dame lean ever since.
But then the offers from the likes of Clemson, Florida, Florida State and Stanford came, and Trumbetti was thinking of letting his recruitment play out a little longer. It had been a while since he was back at Notre Dame, so some of the other schools were a little fresher in his mind.
He got a renewed sense of what is waiting for him at Notre Dame this weekend, though, said Mottola, who spoke with Trumbetti shortly after the commitment.
"He's excited. He loves the campus and the coaching staff. He loves everything about Notre Dame," Mottola said. "Going there this weekend solidified everything he feels about Notre Dame. I think it was probably a very easy decision for him today. You're going to play with a top football program and get a great education -- it's the best of both worlds."
The fifth commitment in the Irish's 2014 class, Trumbetti will be joined by fellow tri-state lineman
Jay Hayes
(Brooklyn, N.Y./Poly Prep) once he signs with Notre Dame.
Trumbetti is also the latest defensive lineman with a high rating to commit to Notre Dame over the last few classes. Top-rated defensive tackle
Eddie Vanderdoes
and ESPN 150 end
Isaac Rochell
signed with the Irish in February, and ESPN 150 defensive lineman
Ishaq Williams
Sheldon Day
Stephon Tuitt
were members of earlier classes in Kelly's tenure.

Holiday to see our son who is stationed close by
Posted Sep 28, 2013Pros: Room was comfortable with good lighting and an excellent bathroom area. The breakfast was really good
Cons: Nothing in the power of the hotel. but the street is one way in front of the hotel and the loop back is quite a journey.
Location: Good location on the river side, close to the town with lots of cafes and restaurants, designer outlet a short walk.
warm welcome by very helpful staff who all spoke very good English.Room was lovely, a small problem with the lighting was sorted immediately. Hotel in a good location near the town yet with river views. it was good to have free parking, there is some at the hotel and some a short distance away.
Recommendedby A verified traveler

Posted Jun 3, 2013 on Hotels.comEasily the best hotel in the centre of Roermond. Easy to find, 10 mins from station on foot. Lots of shops, cafe's and restaurants on the doorstep.

"Couldn't ask for a better place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 13, 2013
The host was a super nice man. He didn't speak much English at all, but managed to recommend places and even arrange a car rental at a pretty cheap price. The place felt more like a person renting out rooms in his house than a hotel, but nonetheless, it was still awesome.
"great hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
Loved it! It's pretty different from the chain hotels, but I love how local and original it is. I don't speak Japanese, so the staff always help me, using online translation website to communicate with me hahah It so clean. And it's big. I had Japanese style room, very comfortable. Will recommend. But I feel Japanese hotels r always very much qualified.
"Friendly Staff and wonderful hot spring!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
I highly enjoyed the hot spring (onsen, ofuro) of this Naha business hotel. If you are expecting a large room then continue on your search because you will not have much space here. The rate was the cheapest I found in Naha and I was only paying $50 a night. My two pieces of luggage were continually moved to get around this tiny room, but it was always clean and the hot public bathhouse was very relaxing if you do not mind being around other people while bathing. The cleaning ladies were very nice and did not hesitate to give me more towels and pillows. There are plenty of bars and restaurants close by and kokousai street is within walking distance. The monorail from the airport stops a couple blocks from the hotel as well.
"Nice Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 6, 2013
We had a very nice stay at Hotel Recore. Good location (walking distance from metro and main shopping district in Naha), upgraded hotel, complete breakfast, and pleasant service.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 7, 2012
Excellent staff & service. Took some time to figure out the A/C unit control since it was in Japanese only. Location okay with convenient bus stops and frequent buses. Within walking distance of Kokusai-dori. Overall, can't find a better hotel for the price.

"First time in Japan"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 28, 2012
I stayed in Nahana hotel for 7 days in February. The Receptionists are very helpful and nice, their English is good enough to communicate. I was looking for a hot spring spa and swimming pool in another island that's far away, so the receptionist try to look online and find me a resort nearby to have both. It was so nice of her to recommend me going to another hotel for their facilities. Their room looks exactly the same as in the picture, very new and clean. Breakfast is not included with my booking, cost 1000 yen with coupon. Many different choices and taste good too! Spa is not bad, however, i feel like it is kinda dirty inside the spa pool. I didnt rent a car, but the hotel location is perfect! walking distance to the Naha bus terminal, monorail station and international street where you can find everything. Everything is nearby, just about 10 minutes walk. The only bad thing about the hotel is free wifi is only in the lobby, hotel room has to use lan cable to get on internet. If free wifi in the room would be perfect! I would definitely go back to this hotel again if i visit Okinawa again in the future.

The county sheriff's office said officers from multiple agencies participated in Wednesday's raid, and they seized an unspecified amount of narcotics, guns and money.
The raid was the culmination of an investigation in which detectives had already seized about 2 1/4 pounds of heroin and an ounce of methamphetamine with a street value of more than $100,000.
Authorities said the ring operated out of Paso Robles, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo and several other cities in the area, and had direct ties to Mexican drug cartels.

Access to funding is often mentioned in meetings about how to enable high impact entrepreneurship. We are always reminded that bank lending to small businesses remains tight.

... br> After hiking the Mujib with Neil, our other friends came to pick us up so we could all return to the Holiday Inn Dead Sea Resort together. We were able to pay incredibly low prices to split rooms because of Ramadan. We quickly ate lunch and headed down to the sea to experience the floating action. It's true! You really cannot control your body floating, and sometimes it is difficult to touch the bottom because the water is lifting you up so much. All ...

The sandwiches earlier in the day were 1.5 JD apiece, and we each chipped in 2 JD for dinner (it probably should have been closer to 3, but Nancy is going to subsidize some of our dinners, and the weekend transportation, since none of us students have as much money as we expected to).

A lookout tower which had niches in the bottom where pigeons were raised for food and fertilizer. It took me over 2 hours to explore the site; this turned out to be perfect because as I finished the first cable car dropped off a bunch of Japanese tourist. I am sure they appreciate the death over surrender mentality of the zealots.
My only regret ...

We stoped at the Jordan River on the way down to take the opportunity to be baptized like Jesus in the river. It was a wonderful experience. We were all so glad we did it. River was narrow and cool. Jordan on one side, Israel on the other in a span of 10 feet.

The BSE barometer Sensex retreated from day's high and finally closed with a meagre 22-point gain today after investors panicked as the weak rupee touched 55.85 levels against the dollar.
After gaining nearly 200 points yesterday, the 30-share Sensex today opened higher on strong Asian cues and soon after touched a high of 16,544.38, its highest in over two weeks.
However, a fresh weakness in rupee, which had gained over 80 paise against the dollar in the last three sessions, spooked investors and pulled the index down to close at a 2-week high of 16,416.84 - a gain of 21.74 points.
The domestic currency touched an intra-day low of 55.85 against the dollar and was last trading at 55.70-levels against its previous close of 55.18.
Brokers said the renewed weakness in rupee, which had touched a life-time low of 56.38 on May 24, made investors jittery that the economy may continue to battle against high deficits. Across the market, 1,421 stocks ended higher while nearly 1,300 stocks closed with losses.
In view of expiry in the derivatives segment on Thursday and March quarter GDP data later in the week, participants preferred to adopt a 'wait and watch' approach, brokers said.
The gains in Sensex were led by Wipro with 2.72 per cent gains, followed by Coal India (2.14 pc), Maruti (2.11 pc), TCS (1.39 pc) and ONGC (0.98 pc).
On the other hand, ITC, Sterlite, and Bharti Airtel led the Sensex losers with up to 1.5 per cent losses.
A weak rupee helped BSE-IT index log the best performance amongst indices with a 1.2 per cent gain, followed by BSE-TECk (0.74 pc), BSE-Realty (0.62 pc) and BSE-PSU (0.49 pc).
The NSE 50-share Nifty also inched up by 4.45 points or 0.09 per cent to finish at 4,990.10 after touching 5,000-mark.
However, Asian stocks ended higher for the second day
in a row after strong global trends and amid expectations for
a policy stimulus in China. Key benchmark indices in China,
Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and South Korea gained up to 1.4
per cent.
