Fwd: [Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Expresses Concern over Impact of IPR Provisions in TPP Agreement Draft
by Barrack Otieno 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wende Cover <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 6:44 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Expresses Concern over Impact of IPR Provisions in TPP Agreement Draft To: "chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org" <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> Internet Society Expresses Concern over Impact of Intellectual Property Rights Provisions in Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) Draft The Internet Society is concerned that the global Internet may be harmed if countries adopt Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provisions contained in the recently leaked Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) draft. We do not believe that these provisions are consistent with basic principles of transparency, due process, accountability, proportionality and the rule of law. The leaked TPP Agreement is a complex set of rights and principles related to IPR and we believe that the current draft reflects a disproportionate balance of rights in favor of intellectual property owners. In addition to other issues, these provisions could also have important consequences for online privacy, a critical dimension in light of heightened awareness worldwide about the importance of protecting the privacy and security of end-users. In particular, with respect to intermediary liability, some of the articles appear to assign new levels of responsibility to private entities and create an environment where content will be subject to extensive filtering. Some draft provisions would impose an unparalleled set of conditions on intermediaries that would allow them to escape liability and could ultimately lead to content blocking and affect legitimate speech and online expression. Such measures are neither new nor original; they have appeared in similar forms in other national or international contexts. On the whole, these measures have proven to be inefficient or unworkable. They have failed to adequately address the stated problems or to provide sufficient answers to the existing challenges. The Internet Society has advocated for intellectual property discussions to adhere to minimum standards of process and substance. In June 2013, we released a paper in which we called on the international community to apply standards such as transparency, due process, accountability and compliance to the rule of law to all intellectual property discussions that relate to the Internet. Similarly, we have been vocal in advancing these principles in various fora, including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). We also joined other organizations (1) in a statement made in 2012, urging the negotiators of the TPP *“to make [the] process more transparent and inclusive, following the multistakeholder model, at least for those chapters of the agreement pertaining to the Internet.”* Throughout this process, the Internet Society has taken the position of not commenting on substantive issues based on leaked texts. At the time, we understood that the leaked texts provided only a snapshot of the issues while many provisions were omitted. The most recent leak, released by Wikileaks, appears to be the complete draft of the TPP’s Intellectual Property chapter and has made us reconsider our position. That we feel compelled to comment on leaked versions of the TPP demonstrates that these basic process standards have been ignored. In an era where the global economy depends on information and networks, we believe that discussions that affect the Internet and its users should reflect these basic principles of transparency and openness. Once again, the Internet Society calls upon the TPP negotiators to abide by standards of transparency as they complete this critical international agreement that will impact Internet users worldwide. We also urge the negotiating parties to reconsider the TPP’s intellectual property provisions and to ensure they don’t have a negative impact on innovation, creativity, prosperity and market participation.

Re: [Skunkworks] Strange behaviour on Windows 8 phone
by Martin Gicheru 18 Nov '13

If opting Orange, go for factory built, the mini-SIM and micro-SIM are of different widths, with the mini-SIM being the larger, something I discovered the hard way, could ruin your phone. Just head to their GPO shop and buy one. As for Safaricom you can just get your existing one chopped at their care centers, haven't heard previously of the cut being disastrous, but for that you will need to get the micro SIM itself. -----Original Message----- From: "Mark Mwangi" <mwangy(a)gmail.com> Sent: ‎11/‎17/‎2013 5:22 PM To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Strange behaviour on Windows 8 phone Orange sell factory built Micro-sims.

Safaricom Mail Hosting Services..
by Odhiambo Washington 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hello world, For those of you who are hosting their mail/web services with Safaricom (from domains.safaricom.co.ke) what is your general experience? I advised and assisted a friend to sign up for these services yesterday afternoon. I have been configuring the services - starting with the mail accounts and my experience accessing the Cpanel/Webmail has been awful. Timeouts even when you are on SCOM's network (3G). Is this the norm or it's just an unfortunate day with the speeds? Do they allow allow sending from other networks - aka authenticated SMTP were someone to use MS Outhouse, for instance? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Hello skunks, I need to create an internet hotspot through wifi, i want also to be able to do user management , kind of like the way wazi wifi does it but without the billing stuff. What hardware can you recommend, i need something that can cover a good range, like a whole office block., with good strength.And can support many connections at once. what software can you recommend, something where a user is allowed to connect but is redirected to the login page where they have to enter their credentials. Preferably it should also support QOS management so bandwidth can be managed for each user. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Cheers, Pauline

Digital Migration on December 13th
by Kevin Omondi 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Skunks For the umpteenth time the government is keen on switching off the analogue signal in Nairobi on December 13th. However there seems to be conflicting reports from Media owners on this date who insist it was pushed to June 2014. Will the government stand its ground and if so how will they enforce it ? I would personally encourage this move to hasten the migration to 4G LTE on available frequencies. My theory is that Media owners are fighting disruption as they will now have to fight with hundreds of small TV stations and this is a disruption they will not accommodate. Whats your take ? Kevin

Good morning people, I am looking at the Apache access from an online server hosting one of my apps and I am noting some interesting entries, some I have never seen before, something like this: A normal user legit-ip-here - - [08/Nov/2013:06:15:14 -0800] "GET /index.php/auth/login HTTP/1.1" 200 6360 "http://www.myaddress.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0)" A normal bot 101.226.68.137 - - [08/Nov/2013:04:02:16 -0800] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 302 - "-" "DNSPod-Monitor/1.0" A weird bot crawl-66-249-66-27.googlebot.com - - [08/Nov/2013:13:06:43 -0800] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 46 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; + http://www.google.com/bot.html)" A normal malicious access (malicious because they are accessing stuff I don't have on that server) 114.221.91.40 - - [08/Nov/2013:07:10:22 -0800] "GET /.7qcjnc/km-qcjnc.mp3 HTTP/1.1" 404 2677 "http://www.wang-nan.cn/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.10; Windows NT 6.1; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)" A weird malicious access h18811653206.rev.rootvps.pl - - [09/Nov/2013:01:02:11 -0800] "GET /video.php?vid=38932 HTTP/1.1" 404 937 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16" static.focured.net - - [09/Nov/2013:01:04:44 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 20 "-" "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" poczta.chmuri.net - - [09/Nov/2013:01:04:22 -0800] "GET /video.php?vid=38929 HTTP/1.1" 404 937 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16" Now, its the "weird malicious attacks" that have me piqued. Instead of having an IP address in the first column, they have some sort of domain name. Has anyone encountered this before?

Boys...puting a fake plate number means its un registered car.That system is supposed to work with various authority at the same time..from Insurance,Taxi, security etc. There should be a database where anything caught on camera can be compared.From face recognition, stolen cars, cars that have been reclaimed in insurance or elsewhere as right-off, suspects, etc.. If the said one isn't having these basic features then its more than funny.

Re: [Skunkworks] Traffic Cameras in Nairobi

@Andrew, I guess if someone steals the camera, the authorities will have an idea how the thief looks like and what conditions existed for it to be stolen. Including whether they used a ladder or a lorry(Whose number plate they will have). 90% of Nairobi and Nakuru roads have grown dark courtesy of vandals. Maybe this will provide a reprieve.

Traffic Cameras in Nairobi
by Alex Njiru 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Skunks A statement that has just been sent to our office *All,* For your information: Please note that the traffic cameras within the Nairobi CBD are now operational. This means that if you break any traffic laws (jump lights, make u-turns, wrong turns, overtaking in restricted areas, entering through no entry areas or pick at the wrong points) your vehicle registration plate will be captured by the camera and a warrant of arrest can be issued. The cameras are never turned off hence do not be fooled by low traffic, early morning or late night hours, weekends, Sundays and public holidays. Please note that since there will be a camera record of all these acts, a not guilty plea in court may not stand. You are expected to familiarize yourself and obey all traffic laws. Also please inform all your family, friends and other colleagues.

Start-Up Weekend Nairobi. (November 22nd -24th, 2013)
by John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

*Startup Weekend is back in Nairobi!* *What is Startup Weekend?* Startup Weekend is an event that brings together programmers, developers, marketers, designers, startup enthusiasts among other diverse groups, to form groups and develop viable business ideas in 54 hours. It is a weekend-long, hands-on experience where entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if their startup ideas are viable. On average, half of Startup Weekend’s attendees have technical backgrounds- the other half have business backgrounds. All Startup Weekends follow the same model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local and international entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback. *Startup Weekend Nairobi* Startup Weekend Nairobi will be held on *November 22nd -24th, 2013*, and will offer exciting prizes for the winners of the challenge. *Why should YOU attend?* - *Education: Startup* Weekends are all about learning. Expect to learn a new skill, a new programming or business language and more so, a new way of thinking. - *Enlarged network:* Startup Weekend works hard to recruit high-quality, driven entrepreneurs – like you! You will create relationships that last long past the weekend. - *Learn how to launch a business: *The goal of the weekend is for you to go from idea to launch in 54 hours. - *Get face time with local and international mentors: *Tech and start-up leaders mentor and participate in Startup Weekends. They interact with event participants sharing experiences and giving business related advice. - *Get access to valuable start-up resources:* By participating in Startup Weekend, you are given instant access to great products and tools. No one leaves Startup Weekend empty handed.

OT: Car Amp
by Tech List Kenya 07 Nov '13

Where can one get a cheap but quality 600W JEC amp? (yes, I know. Contradictory, right) Out of curiosity, how is it that JEC is more expensive than Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer amps for the same power output? JEC doenst even have a Wikipedia page. And I cant find any comparative reviews. Are JEC amps THAT good?

SONY EX650 vs Samsung UA-46ES5600
by Thuo Wilson 07 Nov '13

Hellos, Today for all the right reasons i decided to window shop. In a way to keep myself to-date as far as TV models and features are concerned. Needless to say i got more confused in those shops that i would over the internet. SONY <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/kdl-46ex650/specs>, LED, ex650 - 119,000 Samsung <http://samsutech.net/LEDS_TVs/About_LED_all.html>,LED, UA-46ES5600 - 114, 000 Not considering the cost - which one would you go for picture quality wise. There is too much info out there that seem 50/50 with the 2 models. Also i really dont care about "internet tv bit". Got a better system that does better. I prefer a TV ikuwe TV. Oh please DONT mention also the 3D - not ready for that. What happened to LG? Thought life-is-good?? Wilson./

Why the DEEP Web has washington worried
by Kivuva 07 Nov '13

I thought this article might be of relevance to the list! http://swampland.time.com/2013/10/31/the-deep-web-has-washington-worried/ Why The Deep Web Has Washington Worried >From online drug bazaars to virtual currency tax shelters, the growing anonymous web has many corners of Washington concerned Washington has no idea what to make of the Dread Pirate Roberts. As Lev Grossman and I write in this week's cover story, the Dread Pirate Roberts allegedly ran the Silk Road, the world's most successful online drug bazaar, until the feds caught him earlier this month. His real name, according to a 39-page federal complaint against him, is Ross Ulbricht, 29. He supposedly took the pseudonym from a character in the movie and book, The Princess Bride. In the Silk Road, DPR, as his followers called him, created a business model for anyone wanting to sell illicit items online using free encryption software called Tor and the virtually anonymous crypto-currency Bitcoin. Though the feds have taken Silk Road offline, there are plenty of folks lining up to be the next Dread Pirate Roberts. Lev and I examine the greater implications of the Deep Web, the massive and growing anonymous area of the Internet. But from the perspective of lawmakers and law enforcement in Washington, Silk Road presents a double conundrum. It's a blueprint for criminals the world over at a time when FBI resources are stretched thin and political will to empower government snooping has cratered. And it has created a regulatory headache in figuring how to deal with whole new currencies, tax havens and virtual online markets. While Tor is used by everyone from law enforcement to Syrian dissidents to protect valuable information, it is a double-edged sword. Many experts warn that groups ranging from the Russian mafia to international drug cartels are looking closely at the lessons learned from the Silk Road. It took the FBI more than two years of investigative work to find Ulbricht. They don't have the resources to compete with Silicon Valley in hiring, or the tools-a long-hoped for modernization of the law governing online wiretapping is on ice in Congress thanks to Edward Snowden. ( Developing technology to fight the Deep Web, or the anonymous non-searchable web, "is not adequately funded-it's nowhere near adequately funded," says Marcus Thomas, former assistant director of the FBI's technology division and now on the advisory board Subsentio, which helps companies comply with online warranted wiretaps. "Historically it was well funded, but recently especially with sequestration, it's been hard hit. It's always been a difficult thing to build cost benefit analysis for. How much money should you spend building a technology you may not use for a year, if ever?" Chester Wisnieski, a senior information technology security adviser at Sophos, adds that the FBI doesn't have enough trained staff. "If you look at the FBI-how many agents do they have in cyber? Less than 200," he said. "There's been a very fast shift of traditional crimes moving online and don't have skilled agents to deal with it." The policy problem is compounded by Bitcoin, which represents another set of jurisdictional tangles for Washington. The Senate Homeland Security Committee, officials tell TIME, plans on holding hearings on Bitcoin within the month. The committee sent letters to nine federal agencies in July asking for their thoughts on Bitcoins and other virtual currencies in the hopes of developing a holistic approach to the so-called cryptocurrency that neither stifles the currency's potential nor enables criminals to abuse it. "As with all emerging technologies, the federal government must make sure that potential threats and risks are dealt with swiftly," Committee Chairman Tom Carper, a Delaware Democrat, and the committee's top Republican, Tom Coburn, wrote in the letters. "However, we must also ensure that rash or uninformed actions don't stifle a potentially valuable technology." Bitcoin can be a force for good. "We've grown used to the idea that virtual transactions should be tracked because they can be; whereas Bitcoin brings anonymity back into online commerce," says Sasha Meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute. "It's amazing how scary this notion is to law enforcement. But I see it as akin to trade in gold, cash transactions, and barter: not something to be feared, but simply another useful tool for commerce." And yet, virtual currencies have a complex past. In recent years, Liberty Reserve and e-Gold both ran afoul of the law, mostly for money laundering. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized funds from the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, in May charging that the company was operating an unlicensed money transmitting service. Mt. Gox has since moved to put names to Bitcoin transfers and register with federal and state governments. There is about $2 billion Bitcoin in existence today. Authorities say Silk Road transactions amounted to $1.2 billion in Bitcoin. Indeed, regulators have already taken an active interest in Bitcoin. The Senate Finance Committee is looking at language to regulate virtual currencies its tax code overhaul. They're also considering giving the IRS more money to track virtual tax havens, Senate sources tell TIME. A Government Accountability Office report in June warned that virtual currencies like Bitcoin could be abused as tax havens. New York Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky sent subpoenas to 22 Bitcoin businesses this summer saying it was considering new regulatory guidance on virtual currencies. "If virtual currencies remain a virtual Wild west for narcotraffickers and other criminals," he said announcing the subpoenas, "that would not only threaten our country's national security, but also the very existence of the virtual currency industry as a legitimate business enterprise." A Commodities Futures Trading Commissioner said his agency is looking into regulating Bitcoins as a commodity. And Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network put out guidance in March saying Bitcoin brokers would have to follow wire service regulations-a potentially onerous requirement as each wire service must register state by state. All of this means that no one is quite sure how to handle bitcoin: is it a currency? A bond? A commodity? Should dealers be regulated like wire services or brokers? Should profits be taxed as capital gains? Few in Washington have even begun to consider these questions, and yet given the rapid growth of Bitcoin, the Deep Web and websites like the Silk Road they will surely be forced to soon. Internet users are increasingly looking for anonymity as their preferences and personal information are tracked and traded like pork belly futures. For many, the Deep Web represents a haven from those prying eyes. But, as in real life, when there's anonymity, there are dark alleys where people will abuse it. In the physical world, should we choose it, we can live a cash-based anonymous existence. Should we be able to do so online, even if it means anyone can buy drugs, fake IDs or illicit weapons as well? These are the questions Washington must grapple with as it looks at how to regulate cyrpotcurrencies and police the Deep Web.
