51 Tatort-Autoren haben einen offenen Brief geschrieben. Nachdem die Fazialpalmierungs-Schwielen abgeheilt und die Schorfbildung eingesetzt hatte, haben 51 Hacker vom CCC einen deftigen Rant in die Gegenrichtung geschrieben. Viel Spaß bei der Lektüre.

Liebe Tatort-Drehbuchschreiber,

[…] Auch wir sind Urheber, sogar Berufsurheber, um genau zu sein. Wir sind Programmierer, Hacker, Musiker, Autoren von Büchern und Artikeln, bringen gar eigene Zeitungen, Blogs und Podcasts heraus. Wir sprechen also nicht nur mit Urhebern, wir sind selber welche. Es wird daher keinen “historischen Kompromiß” geben, denn es stehen sich nicht zwei Seiten gegenüber, jedenfalls nicht Urheber und Rezipienten, sondern allenfalls prädigitale Ignoranten mit Rechteverwertungsfetisch auf der einen Seite und wir auf der anderen, die wir deren Verträge aufgezwungen bekommen.

Und wißt Ihr, welcher kreative Bereich stärker wächst und mehr Umsatz macht, Musik oder Software? Überraschung: Es stellt sich heraus, daß man auch ohne Verwertungsindustrie überleben kann. Anstatt Euch an den Konsumenten gütlich zu tun, solltet Ihr Eure Anstrengungen darauf konzentrieren, für Eure Werke direkt vom Auftraggeber ordentlich entlohnt zu werden. Was Ihr braucht ist eine den Namen verdienende, starke Gewerkschaft, kein Monster aus Verwertungsgesellschaften, die dann Youtube langjährig verklagen, weil sie kostenlos Werbung für Euch machen und Euch damit zukünftige Aufträge verschaffen.

Dass unerwünschtes Vervielfältigen von digitalen Erzeugnissen nun zum gesamtgesellschaftlichen Problem wird, hat weniger mit dem ebenfalls reformbedürftigen Verwertungsrecht zu tun, als mit dem Abmahn-Unwesen, das zur Zeit viele gerade jüngere, nicht adäquat versorgte potentielle Konsumenten eiskalt erwischt.

Wir sollen also die Finger von den Schutzfristen lassen. Oh bitte, es bluten einem die Ohren bei diesem ewiggestrigen Singsang, den wir uns seit Jahren anhören müssen, während alle paar Jahre die Fristen verlängert werden. Wir sind jetzt bald bei einer Länge von einem Jahrhundert angekommen, und da bringt Ihr echt das Argument, man dürfe die Schutzfristen nicht anrühren? Wir glauben, es hackt.

Ich war heute wieder im Deepweb, und fand da sehr anregendes Zeug. (VERWUNDERLICH ICH WEISS). Ich werd’s hier einfach unten einfügen, zusammen mit der Video-Serie, die veröffentlicht wurde. Stoff zum Nachdenken.

So I was on 4chan today, and found some really thought provoking stuff.(SURPRISING I KNOW) I’m just gonna paste it below, and leave the video series that was posted. Some food for thought.

Sind wir mal gespannt.

According to Kopimi all truths can be summarized in one sentence:

The Internet is right.

Though seeded in prehistory, Kopimi is rooted in the future, and holds together a constantly vibrating avalanche of knowledge that forms the foundation for a discussion indifferent to the rippling changes of time and space. A tumult where no one has the permission to keep silent, where we shall speak to everyone and everything.

In attractive flocks, passionate swarms and boisterous schools, we sow ourselves into new contexts and eras. This book is a spontaneously organizing, clustering community project with a single purpose – Kopimi shall be deepening, propagating, and all-consuming. We want to reach further into ourselves and into Kopimi. We want to penetrate further into you, and into the future.

Our words shall, simultaneously, sound as foolishness upon deaf ears and lovely caresses to those who see and hear, but above all: They should bite firmly into you – and your mom. This is a book for those of you who find yourselves in the moment, but are looking for your way forward through the ages.

Ja, wir sind gefangen. Und wie können wir uns daraus befreien? Ich habe ein Dokument im Deepweb gefunden, welches die Gedanken der letzen Jahre nochmals schön zusammenfasst und einen Impuls gibt.

Ein paar Highlights.

Initially I had planned for a small distribution of this document to only a select few, to attempt to “stay under the radar”. But as I indicate above, I now realize that is a flawed approach. Much like in a mixed network, the more people working to protect themselves and their identities, the better off the end result is. The stronger the support economies grow, the better able the resistance is to function autonomously.

Individuals have to believe (or at least not actively oppose the idea) that large corporations have the right to protect their profits above all else.

Computers and the Internet enable humans to create individual works on a global scale: independent media, self-publishing, Free Software, computer music, computer art and graphics, and so on. Computers also enable independent people to communicate and build human-serving social structures outside of the Matrix.

It would seem that the present catalyst is a combination of the Internet and again psychedelics. Both of these phenomenon provide a way of disconnecting yourself from the programmed reality and assumptions of the Matrix and taking your perceptions into your own hands.

Freedom Seekers are Not Terrorists

Essentially this HOWTO represents the hacker community truly claiming independence for itself from national and institutional rule. While many the ideas and techniques present in this document can be found elsewhere, I believe this is the first time such a coherent, consistent, and focused collection of these ideas has been assembled for a single purpose. 10 years ago, we made our Declaration of Independence. This body of code-law represents a manner of Constitution of Cyberspace. A basic set of rights we claim for ourselves through our use of technology.

Target Audience

• Civil Libertarians
• Whistleblowers
• Bloggers and Independent Journalists
• “Political Dissidents” and Inquisitive Minds
• People with Enemies
• Programmers and Security Researchers
• The Video Game Underground
• Moonlighters, Double-Shifters, and Consultants
• Potential Victims of Identity Theft (Everyone)
• Entrepreneurs

Das komplette Dokument folgt bald.

by John Perry Barlow <barlow@eff.org>

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.

We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.

Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.

You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.

You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don’t exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract . This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.

Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.

We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.

Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no matter here.

Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge . Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.

In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must now be born anew in us.

You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.

In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.

Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish.

These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.

We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

.onion – Ein eigenständiges, unabhängiges Netz im Internet. Niemand loggt etwas, niemand zensiert etwas. Alle sind anonym.

Willkommen im Netzwerk der Rebellion. Willkommen in unserem eigenen Internet.

Es hat den Charme des Internets von 1995. Nicht besonders schnell, aber jeder stellt seinen kleinen Dienst bereit, die Websites sind schlicht und bunt. Und man findet böse Sachen in diesem verruchten Internet.

Dieses Internet ist jetzt wieder da – besser als je zuvor! Verschlüsselt, verschleiert, dezentral. Unendliche Freiheit.

Ich zeige ein paar Highlights.

BuggedPlanet.Info is a small Wiki that tries to list and track down the activities of the surveillance industry in the fields of “Lawful Interception”, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Communications Intelligence (COMINT) and related fields to gain access to data from telecommunication systems. In this talk I want to explain the idea behind the project and also discuss some bbservations made between industrial activites and governmental actings.
