In LaLiga Cloudflare IPS blockages they are paying fair for sinners. The righteous are already proposed legal actions

by

This weekend They turned to produce Problems for many Internet users who failed to access the websites they visit normally. The reason in many cases was the Cloudflare IPS blockade that several operators carried out due to LaLiga’s demands. Users reaches. As we explain, the war between these two entities comes from afar, and the worst thing is that is causing them to pay fair for sinners. However, some of those righteous are preparing to take action on the matter. Affected in action. Román Ramírez (@patowc), cybersecurity expert and event organizer Rootedconhe published last Friday a message in X (formerly Twitter) encouraging those affected to contact him. The objective, to ensure that those who had suffered the problems offer evidence of it to be able to collect them and gather enough evidence. Legal actions in sight. Javier A. Master (@Javieramastre), who exercises (among other things) as a lawyer from Rootedcon, recently explained the legal details of these actions and is part of that effort of Ramírez to clarify what is happening. Both are convinced that LaLiga is in a clear illicit, and that the legal arguments of that organism are not valid. Freedom of expression. For Ramírez, fundamental rights such as freedom of expression are being violated, “which should not be above economic interests.” Meanwhile, Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, published a message in x accusing Cloudflare of being “perfect accomplice” of criminals who, for example, publish child pornography on the Internet. In that message, says Ramírez, Thebes himself explicitly admits that he is causing damage to third parties, something that theoretically should not be able to do LaLiga if he complied with the law. Shared IPS. The fundamental problem is, as we have already mentioned, that LaLiga requests IP addresses to avoid illegal broadcasts of IPTV football matches. The problem is that in many cases these IPS belong to Cloudflare, but those IPS are shared and if you tomb the IP, you tomb all web sites and services that depend on said IP. Cloudflare does not collaborate in LaLiga. According to LaLiga, Cloudflare does not collaborate at the closure of the IPTV service of the offenders. However, Ramírez explains that what LaLiga demands is to have “total access to her backend.” Cloudflare knows, of course, the web sites and services that “hang” from the same shared IP, but one of its premises is to hide that information – for that the protcolo ECH is served – as well as protect that information and its customers precisely to avoid cyber attacks and BLOCKS. The ideal solution. Cloudflare could thus leave only the website or server that is committing the alleged infraction, but that should be dictated by a judge. The current laws allow LaLiga to send a weekly IPS list to block, and from there the operators must block them or would be exposed to the breach of the judicial mandate. Ideally, a judge, knowing IP address and domain or even the SNI (Server Name Indication), demanded the closure of that exclusive service. Thus Cloudflare could disable that access at the request of the judge and not of the head of the property rights of the issuance, which is the one who demands that indiscriminate block and that affects legitimate websites and websites. Evidence. Those affected who want to provide evidence can do so by contacting Román Ramírez via X (@patowc), as writing to the email address info@rootedcon.com. The objective is to collect as many evidence as you can in the next few days to see how hundreds and even thousands of legitimate websites are inaccessible during soccer matches. And possible demand. With all those data, Ramírez and Maestre hope to build an expert case and report with which to execute a potential demand to LaLiga. The ultimate goal is to raise a complaint with which to apply precautionary measures and that these IPS blocks are suspended.

The companies of AI have been jumping the copyright for years. They have just suffered a disturbing legal defeat

by

Thomson Reuters He has won The first important case against AI in the United States. This legal victory can end up being an important precedent in an open war that exists between generative companies and human creators and content creative companies. When chatgpt or existed. One of the curiosities of the case is that the demand arrived in 2020, even before the revolution created by Chatgpt and other generative AI models occurred. At that time Thomson Reuters demanded the startup of the so -called Ross Intelligence. According to them, the company had reproduced material from its legal research division, called Westlaw. The judge, inflexible. As they explain In Wiredthe defense arguments did not convince Judge Stephanos Bibas, of the Court of the District of Delaware. In his sentence he indicated that “none of Ross’s possible defenses is sustained. I reject them all.” Fair use, nothing. Normally IA companies are shielded in the doctrine of fair use (“Fair Use”). This legal criterion maintains that limited use of protected material is allowed without needing permission from the owner of those rights. As explained in Wiredel, four factors are analyzed: the reasons for creating the work, its nature (if it is an essay, a poem, a private letter), the amount of material used, and how that use impacts the market value of the original. Be careful for what copies. Thomson Reuters won two of those analyzes, but the fourth was for Judge Bibas the most important, because Ross “wanted to octize with Westlaw developing a substitute for the market.” That is: they were copied to try to compete with them in the same market. A precedent with a problem. Curiously Ross Intelligence closed its doors in 2021, precisely Faced with costs of the dispute. It is precisely the opposite with AI giants, who usually have many more economic resources when defending these types of demands. The legal precedent is undoubtedly relevant, but it may be more difficult to wield it if the litigation costs cannot be supported by the plaintiffs. Care, generative. The appearance of all kinds of generative models has unleashed a wave of demands for copyright violation. One of the most important cases is what The New York Times holds against Openaibut there are others like the one that affects Microsoft by Github Copilotthat of Stable Diffusion and Midjourney or the recent one Meta scandal and the books with copyright that he used to train his AI models. Fair use and competition. Precisely this judgment raises an important legal obstacle for AI companies. First, for that argument of the fair use that may now not work. And secondly, due to the fact that when using those works protected by copyright, the impact for the original works can be remarkable.

legal and social barriers that threaten the future

Galicia takes time faced disputes for the development of wind energy. In fact, the Galician government offered the energy produced at half price to try to mediate with the neighborhood community. However, this measure has failed to resolve legal conflicts, which has led the sector to take a desperate measure. No more wind. The sector He has faced A break due to controversial judicial decisions, in which more than 60 wind projects are paralyzed. A recent regulation approved by the Xunta, the Natural Resources Lawforces promoters to sell 50% of energy to local companies and to repower the oldest wind farms (more than 25 years). Obstacles in wind. On the one hand, the Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia (TSXG) has annulled multiple projects for alleged deficiencies in environmental impact studies, applying a more strict criterion than that of other Spanish courts. On the other hand, social resistance has grown, with neighbors and environmentalists denouncing the negative effects of wind farms on the landscape, biodiversity and the quality of communities life. Besides, They have argued that wind development in Galicia is being carried out without adequate planning and without guaranteeing sufficient protection to ecosystems. For its part, and as well They have criticized other communities With greater installed capacity, they have denounced that the Galician community is treated as a “sacrifice zone” to supply other regions without receiving proportional benefits. Sos’s call. The publication of the Law 5/2024 in the Official State Gazettewhich modifies Law 8/2009 on Wind Regulation, has introduced additional measures to help the sector. This law includes the creation of windy renewable acceleration areas, where the environmental impact would be lower and the processing of projects would be carried out more quickly. In turn, the wind canon has been modified to adjust it to the new parks models, which could impact both taxation and benefits for local communities. However, this change has been criticized by various wind bosses, such as AELEC, AEE and APPA, who consider That the regulations distort the market and affect competitiveness. Despite having optimal conditions for wind installation, Galicia has to solve concerns about environmental impact and neighborhood opposition. Looking ahead, it will be necessary to find a balance to continue developing renewable infrastructure.

Bukele turned Bitcoin into legal tender in El Salvador. It has just reversed

by

In June 2021 Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, raised a singular option: Bitcoin turned into legal tender in his country. The country’s Bitcoin Law was approved shortly after, in September, but made it involved in controversy and uncertainty. Now, three and a half years later, Bukele has been forced to back down. Bitcoin is no longer a legal tender in El Salvador. As they point out In the countrythe Salvadoran Parliament has approved a reform to the Bitcoin Law and causes it to cease to be considered official currency. It can continue to be used freely by users, but Bukele’s ambition in this area is thus truncated. IMF pressures. The reason for the decision is simple. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had been pressing El Salvador for two years and urging him to “mitigate the risks of Bitcoin.” The country chaired by Bukele urgently needed a loan of 1.4 billion dollars, but had to give in this reform. Today was the deadline to do it if I wanted such credit to be granted. Bitcoin returns to the background. With this measure the Bitcoin ceases to be considered as legal tender, and for example, it cannot be used to pay taxes. Its adoption and acceptance goes from being mandatory to voluntary. He never set. There are hardly any data on Bukele’s initiative, which was the only one who with his active profile on social networks such as Twitter/X spoke of the theoretical success of his measure. During approval They occurred Citizen protestsand the data suggest that their use by citizens has been reduced. Wallet goat. The controversial digital wallet Created by the Government tried to promote the use of Bitcoin with a singular promotional measure: each person to install it was given. Public shops and institutions had the obligation to accept payment in Bitoin. In spite of all this, the acceptance of citizenship was always very limited mid -2022 The fall of Bitcoin was especially for El Salvador, which was about to enter bankruptcy. In 2024 only 8.1% of the population acknowledged having used the tool, they indicate in the country. A Wallet goat vulnerability also caused A value of $ 840,000. Criticism and complaints. El Salvador media as the lighthouse indicate How most Salvadorans did not use bitcoin to make transactions “and more than 70 % responded that they did not benefit their economy in a survey.” In addition to corruption in the adoption of Bitcoin, with duplication or falsification of identities to collect the 30 dollars or violation of international laws against money laundering, they point out in the country. Bukele barely comments. The president of El Salvador is very active in X, but has not commented on the issue. What he has done is comment The condemnation of corruption of the American senator Bob Menéndez, who had opposed the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador. Only A brief message in X of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador confirmed the modification of the Bitcoin Law. Lack of transparency. As they point out in the country, opacity and lack of transparency regarding the initiative has been remarkable. There was no official information until recently, when the Salvadoran government launched a website called Bitcoin Office. According to this website, El Salvador has 6,049.18 BTC, equivalent to about 605 million euros.

the best way to watch free and legal television on your mobile is back stronger than ever

by

Internet piracy is at a critical juncture, with the biggest counterattack from governments, security forces and rights owners that we have seen in many years. Pirated IPTV accounts for most of the attacks, with large police operations to end pirate football and even prison sentences just for sharing a legal signal. Some countries like Spain even contemplate the possibility of fine illegal IPTV users. In the midst of this chaotic situation, many users are returning to the safe side, to legal apps; and the good news is that you don’t have to pay to watch high-quality content completely legally. We have a good example in TDTChannelsan app that has not had a few problems, but is now better than ever. TDTChannels is an app for watch tv for free on our devices and without having to configure anything. In reality, it is an app that uses IPTV technology, but unlike others, it is based on completely legal IPTV lists; That is because the included channels already broadcast openly over the Internet, so the servers of this app do not host any type of pirated content. This app only connects us with the official server that already broadcasts live on the Internet, but it is much easier to use and change between channels. The last time we talked about TDTChannels, its situation was not good, after have been expelled from the Play Store for unknown reasons; Although the app was still available to download from its website and worked without problems, the millions of Spanish users who use Android phones could no longer find it in the official Google store. Fortunately, on December 19, Google backed down, and TDTChannels is again available for download in the Play Store; This way, we just have to enter the store from our mobile phone and search for TDTChannels to download it safely and directly. That’s not the only good news that the TDTChannels development team has for its users. The app started the year with new channelsboth television and radio, available without having to do anything; For example, 101TV Costa del Sol and Noticias Telemundo are now available, in addition to the Elite radio stations. Channels have also been updated so that they are available again, especially some local and regional channels such as 7 La Rioja. Continuing with this pace, TDTChannels also announced an important change in its operation. Specifically, as of the last update lists in W3U format are no longer available; This format for multimedia content is one of those used to share IPTV or music lists, but it is no longer compatible with TDTChannels. Instead, users can continue using lists in M3U format, which are much more popular, in addition to M3U8 and compatible with Enigma.

Timeline of Prince Harry’s lawsuit against tabloids for phone hacking and intrusion

by

LONDON — Prince Harry’s lawsuit against The Sun concluded dramatically on Wednesday with an apology from the newspaper’s publisher for “serious intrusion” and illegal activities over a 15-year period. The settlement, which includes a “substantial” damages award for Harry, is the latest dramatic twist in two decades of legal drama over the ruthless practices of the British press in the days when newspapers sold millions of copies and shaped the popular conversation. The scandal destroyed a newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch and cost the tycoon hundreds of millions of dollars to settle lawsuits from former tabloids. It also fueled Harry’s quest to tame the British press, which he blames for dividing his family, tarnishing his life and harassing both his late mother, Princess Diana, and his wife, Meghan Markle. Below is a chronology of the legal dispute: November 2005: Murdoch’s Sunday tabloid News of the World reports that Prince William has a knee injury. A complaint from Buckingham Palace sparks a police investigation which reveals that information for the story came from a voicemail that was tapped. January 2007: Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who worked for the News of the World, is sentenced to six months in prison and the newspaper’s editor, Clive Goodman, to four months for tapping royal advisers’ phones to listen to messages left by William and others. Goodman later admits to hacking William’s phone 35 times and that of his then-girlfriend Kate Middleton—now Princess of Wales—more than 150 times. Murdoch’s company initially maintains that the illicit behavior was the work of two rogue employees who acted without the editors’ knowledge. January 2011: British police are reopening an investigation into phone hacking by tabloids after the News of the World says it has found “significant new information”. April 2011: News of the World admits responsibility for phone hacking. The following month, he agrees to pay actress Sienna Miller £100,000 to settle an espionage claim. Murdoch’s News Corp. has since paid to settle claims by dozens of celebrities, politicians, athletes and others against News of the World and its sister tabloid, The Sun, although it has never accepted responsibility for the hack by The Sun. July 2011: The Guardian newspaper reports that News of the World journalists tapped the phone of Milly Dowler, a murdered 13-year-old schoolgirl, while police were searching for her in 2002. The revelation causes public outrage and prompts Murdoch to close the News of the World. , 168 years old. November 2012: A media ethics inquiry led by a judge and ordered by then-Prime Minister David Cameron concludes that the “scandalous” behavior of some in the press had “wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent people whose rights and freedoms have been disregarded.” . Judge Brian Leveson recommends the creation of a strong press watchdog, backed by government regulation. Their findings have been partially implemented. October 2013: Former News of the World editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks are on trial alongside several other defendants at London’s Central Criminal Court on charges of phone hacking and illegal payments to officials. After an eight-month trial, Coulson is convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Brooks is acquitted. She is now chief executive of Murdoch’s British newspaper business. December 2015: England’s attorney general says there will be no further criminal cases against Murdoch’s UK company or its employees, or against 10 people under investigation by rival Mirror Group Newspapers, including former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan. Both companies continue to pay to settle espionage lawsuits. 2019 onwards: Prince Harry launches lawsuits against three newspaper groups: Murdoch’s News Group, Mirror Group and Associated Newspapers. He alleges that stories about his student years, teenage antics, and relationships with girlfriends were obtained through wiretapping, wiretapping, deception, and other forms of illegal intrusion. February 2021: Harry’s wife, Meghan, wins an invasion of privacy lawsuit against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers over the publication of a 2018 letter she wrote to her father. June 2023: Harry testifies in his case against the Mirror Group, becoming the first British royal in over a century to appear in the witness box. December 2023: Enrique wins his case against the Mirror Group when a judge rules that the Mirror newspapers had hired private investigators to snoop on personal information and engaged in illegal phone hacking for more than a decade. He is awarded legal costs and £140,000 in damages. February 2024: Mirror Group agrees to pay Enrique’s legal costs and undisclosed damages to resolve outstanding claims. Enrique says he feels vindicated and promises: “Our mission continues.” January 21, 2025: The trial is about to begin in the lawsuits by Enrique and former Labor Party lawmaker Tom Watson against The Sun. They are the only two remaining among dozens of plaintiffs after others accepted legal settlements rather than face potentially ruinous legal bills. The trial is delayed as attorneys for both sides say they have been conducting intense negotiations over a settlement. January 22, 2025: Both parties announce agreement, News Group Newspapers offers “a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for The Sun’s serious intrusion between 1996 and 2011 into his private life, including incidents of illegal activities carried out by private investigators working for The Sun.” Enrique’s lawyer, David Sherborne, calls it a “monumental victory” and declares: “The time for reckoning has come.” Enrique’s case against Associated Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mail, is ongoing.
