Napster, porno, oh my! more german fascism

German police in Napster child porn probe By: Linda Harrison in New York Posted: 10/01/2001 at 21:14 GMT German police have launched a probe into whether Napster is being used to swap child porn on the Net. The investigation will also delve into other online file-swapping services such as Gnutella and MyNapster, and hopes to determine whether users have stored illegal material on their computers. "We are conducting inquiries in connection with that," a Munich police representative told IDG.net today, although no further details were revealed. Napster, which lets surfers share music MP3 or WMA files through its Web site, threatened to ban users using the service to trade pornographic images. "Any exchange of image or film files would violate Napster's terms of service," it said in a statement. "Under Napster's terms of service, users are responsible for complying with all federal and state laws applicable to shared content. User accounts that violate those terms will be blocked from the service as soon as Napster learns of such violations." In related news, seven Brits pleaded guilty today to taking part in one of the world's biggest Net porn rings. The men were among 107 people arrested by police in 12 countries suspected of belonging to an Internet paedophile ring. .

crypto implementation for small footprint devices
by Xiao, Peter 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

Hi, I am currently looking for crypto implementation that can fit into small footprint (in the order of 50K or less) devices. Ideally, an SSL type of protocol meets my requirements but it is almost impossible to implement it within 50K even with selected cipher suites. So, I am looking for alternatives (either symmetric key or public key based). I was thinking about WTLS but looks like its implementation can not be significantly smaller than that of TLS since it is also based on Public Key cryptography (I am wondering how it fits into a cellphone). Can any one tell me what is the approximate size of the client implementation of WTLS. Also, would anyone send some pointers to me regarding what I am looking for. Thanks in advance!! Peter

[Jim sent me the below message directly without any indication that it was also sent to the list. But from past experience, I know better. Another example of not-quite-adequate Choatian social norms.] Anyway, Jim is conflating physical control over an instantiation of IP with the rights conferred by IP law. If someone copies Microsoft Word (or a Tom Clancy novel) onto a CDROM and gives it to me, I am not liable. -Declan At 11:36 AM 1/10/01 -0600, Jim Choate wrote: > > (Hint: U.S. copyright law does not make mere possession or archiving > > an offense.

Bell Case Subpoena
by John Young 11 Jan '01

11 Jan '01

Today at 4:30 PM two Treasury agents, Tom Jack and Matthew Mc Whirr, served me a Subpoena to Testify Before Grand Jury, in US District Court of Western Washington, Seattle, WA, on January 25, 2001, 9:00 AM. Robb London, AUSA, is the applicant. The agents asked no questions except to verify my identity. The principal agent, Mr. Jack, referred me to Special Agent Jeff Gordon for questions if I had any, and presented a note with Jeff's name, title, Treasury office, and phone number. Mr. Jack said they knew nothing about the case and were only serving the subpoena. I asked for Mr. McWhirr's name, borrowed his pen to jot both names -- neither had cards, only badges to show. Mr. Jack said they were with Treasury Inspector General for Tax Adminstration (TIGTA), as is Jeff. The date of the subpoena is December 27, 2000, and was faxed to New York at 8:36 AM today. The subpoena states in bold caps "We request that you do not disclose the existence of this subpoena, because such a disclosure may make it more difficult to conduct the investigation." The subpoena is one page, with two pages of attachments, one titled "Information for Grand Jury Witnesses," the other a description of arrangements for reimbursement of expenses. The subpoena orders: You are commanded to appear and testify before the Grand Jury at place, date and time (as given above). And, You are also commanded to bring with you the following document(s) or object(s): Please provide any and all documents, papers, letters, computer disks, photographs, notes, objects, information, or other items in your possession or under your control, including electronically stored or computer records, which: 1. Name, mention, describe, discuss, involve or relate to James Dalton Bell, a/k/a Jim Bell, or 2. Were previously possessed, owned, created, sent by, transported, or oftherwise affiliated with James Dalton Bell, a/k/a Jim Bell, or 3. Contain the names, addresses, license plate numbers, or any other identifying information involving any Government employees. This subpoena shall remain in effect until you are granted leave to depart by the court or by an officer acting on behalf of the court. ----- We'll do a full transcription of the whole shebang to post on Cryptome tonight. Nothing in the subpoena indicates that it is restricted to the current interstate stalking charges against Jim. Those charges are not mentioned. Anybody else who got one of these, or other subpoenas, and wants to share send it over. Our fax: 212-787-6102. Delete any info you don't want to be public.

Re: Ravage.... A man... a mission.... a moron
by Joel M Fulton 10 Jan '01

Hey! You're pretty witty, aren't you? In the past two minutes, you've posted an incredible amount of drivel. (I say this objectively - only you would think it wasn't drivel. Rather fond of your own 'voice', aren't you?) A real freedom fighter, aren't you? One of those fearless crusaders who have grown tired of living under a dictatorship? The tyranny has finally been enough! Jim's fighting back! All you book cover-rippers better watch out.....? What a moron. Didn't your mother ever tell you that the point of heckling was to make the *other* guy look like an idiot? She certainly must've told you never to get drunk before you email, didn't she? I mean, come'on. Most of us are working here, we don't go to Burger King and bug you while you're working, do we? We're paying politicians to act like fools, why do you bother doing it for free? Crawl out from behind your terminal, putz. It must suck having your social life rise and fall with the price of electricity. "I'm not interested in your body...." tee-hee.... I guess the pen's only mighter than the sword if someone other than Jimmy's wielding it. BTW, "Form" and "Content" are *not* one and the same. Of course, unless we agree on a basis of logic, it's difficult to argue an issue, isn't it? (wait, wait.... let me guess.... your response is going to be, "No it isn't.")
