The New Freedom

Jump to Comments

I’m proud to announce that Free Culture has just received a go-ahead from BU. I’ll be starting a teacher’s rights campaign to give teachers and researchers the right and the methods to grant open access to their lectures and materials. More details once things start rolling..

Anyway, I got a note from the ORG/EFF about the TV-Links shutdown. The Open Rights Group have done a great write-up about what’s happened so far. They’ve even talked to police involved regarding the specifics of the law, although there is still much speculation about just how exactly the law justifies the raid.

The TV-Links story has been pushed aside on the news sites because of the news of takedown of the music tracker Oink.cd, which, up until a few days ago, was a kick-ass private music tracker. I’m going to do a full article about it (and the future of torrents), but I need some help doing research.

If anybody can read Chinese and wants to help out, please, send me an email or leave a comment!

For now, I’ll leave you with a good article by a guy name Jace about how great Oink was and what the takedown means.

Rich..
