Each depends on the situation, and whether or not fair use applies. If there are mechanisms in place to sell or license the content, fair use is less likely to apply. So far, I haven't had any big problems with IA despite 100k+ items, several TB of data and 1% their text library. Will somethings be an issue? Maybe, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it and not worry about it until I know what chasm I have to cross and where. Provenance etc. is situation dependent, no categorical answer … [View More]exists that isn't a bald faced lie.

Nowadays standard business practice, off-shore no longer reliable either. Just don't respond. Get bought out by Web.com and slowly disappear after handing over decades of user data for exploitation. The Apple future, or maybe present if hobnobbing with US and CN leaders give a clue.

Re: why we need more cryptome mirrors, in all corners
by John Young 11 Oct '15

And, best, no pun, every mirror unique and as flawed as their makers, like none other, especially differing from the source and its makers. Mirrors are mirrors, like originals, are always illusory and evermore changing and degrading -- with crypto and comsec and infosec. Archives, drops, mirrors, crypto, USBs, AWstats, leaks, Wiki fools gold. This forum a grain of a great Sahara. From these grains mirrors of mirrors of mirrors. Forsoothed Alice to narcissistic Bob.

Ubiquitous AWStats Not the Worst
by John Young 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

Presumably cybersec wizards have warned about the ubiquity of AWStats and access log files online, or maybe not, just quietly exploit them. There are hundreds of thousands listed on Google's. tip of the iceberg. Beyond the simplistic AWStats and access logs to snapshot traffic for the amateur pryer, peddler and peeper, there are those which log much more about visitors' behavior, desires, secrets, hook-ups, adulteries, informing, cheating, avoiding, perambulating among personal device records, … [View More]

Despite almost two decades of cypherpunk activity I cannot fathom why U.S. residents operate sites clearly in the cross-hairs of intel agencies. Have they never heard of non-resident nominee officers and directors? All U.S. resident people dealing with the site should be bona fide contractors so they aren't subject to either receiving or implementing court orders or NSLs. -------- Original Message -------- From: bbrewer <bbrewer(a)littledystopia.net> Apparently from: cypherpunks-bounces(… [View More]

Used to be you'd be accused of being COINTELPRO, now it's JTRIG. "Differing opinion"? Almost never an option. Different=wrong-bad-evil-enemy-hate-suspect-accuse. On technical issues, I'm definitely a neophyte, but I'd been in contact with JYA for quite sometime, he'd published a few documents I supplied and shared many links on twitter. You'd think that would get him to look at the data before smearing me. As for off-message? That's a spin term.
