Custostech Economic White Paper
The Economics of Digital Piracy and CustosTech tech WP 01/2014 June 2014 Executive Summary Custos Media Technologies (CustosTech) provides a novel approach to fighting digital piracy. While the technology itself is cutting edge, the true innovation of the technology is a behavioural one: the incentive structure of the pirating community is warped, leading to a discontinuation of piracy. To understand the innovation, this white paper sets out to explain !the piracy ecosystem within which the technology will be effective. ! The consumer and producer welfare functions are considered from a theoretical point of view. These functions explain the incentive of consumers to choose to pirate movies: consumers who expect a larger net-gain to their utility from piracy will opt to do so. This net gain is determined by the relative valuations of legal to illegal copies, and the relative cost of use. Staying with theoretical considerations, the options facing producers to limit !piracy are investigated: pricing, protection, and value-adding. ! This theoretical framework is then used to understand the incentive structures governing the players in the ecosystem: hosts, uploaders and downloaders. Hosts are found to be almost exclusively profit-motivated, with uploaders motivated by profit or altruism. Downloaders are split into four categories, depending on their main motivation or justification for pirating. An analysis of incumbent anti-piracy technologies shows that these technologies are almost all ineffective, sometimes even acting to increase the !preference for piracy.! With this background, the need for a new solution becomes all too apparent. The CustosTech technology is considered within the piracy framework, and the technological and economic effects explained. -
You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State
International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 890–908 1932–8036/20150005 You Are Not Welcome Among Us: Pirates and the State JESSICA L. BEYER University of Washington, USA FENWICK MCKELVEY1 Concordia University, Canada In a historical review focused on digital piracy, we explore the relationship between hacker politics and the state. We distinguish between two core aspects of piracy—the challenge to property rights and the challenge to state power—and argue that digital piracy should be considered more broadly as a challenge to the authority of the state. We trace generations of peer-to-peer networking, showing that digital piracy is a key component in the development of a political platform that advocates for a set of ideals grounded in collaborative culture, nonhierarchical organization, and a reliance on the network. We assert that this politics expresses itself in a philosophy that was formed together with the development of the state-evading forms of communication that perpetuate unmanageable networks. Keywords: pirates, information politics, intellectual property, state networks Introduction Digital piracy is most frequently framed as a challenge to property rights or as theft. This framing is not incorrect, but it overemphasizes intellectual property regimes and, in doing so, underemphasizes the broader political challenge posed by digital pirates. In fact, digital pirates and broader “hacker culture” are part of a political challenge to the state, as well as a challenge to property rights regimes. This challenge is articulated in terms of contributory culture, in contrast to the commodification and enclosures of capitalist culture; as nonhierarchical, in contrast to the strict hierarchies of the modern state; and as faith in the potential of a seemingly uncontrollable communication technology that makes all of this possible, in contrast to a fear of the potential chaos that unsurveilled spaces can bring. -

Torward: DISCOVERY, BLOCKING, and TRACEBACK of MALICIOUS TRAFFIC OVER Tor 2517
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY, VOL. 10, NO. 12, DECEMBER 2015 2515 TorWard: Discovery, Blocking, and Traceback of Malicious Traffic Over Tor Zhen Ling, Junzhou Luo, Member, IEEE,KuiWu,Senior Member, IEEE, Wei Yu, and Xinwen Fu Abstract— Tor is a popular low-latency anonymous communi- I. INTRODUCTION cation system. It is, however, currently abused in various ways. OR IS a popular overlay network that provides Tor exit routers are frequently troubled by administrative and legal complaints. To gain an insight into such abuse, we designed Tanonymous communication over the Internet for and implemented a novel system, TorWard, for the discovery and TCP applications and helps fight against various Internet the systematic study of malicious traffic over Tor. The system censorship [1]. It serves hundreds of thousands of users and can avoid legal and administrative complaints, and allows the carries terabyte of traffic daily. Unfortunately, Tor has been investigation to be performed in a sensitive environment such abused in various ways. Copyrighted materials are shared as a university campus. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is used to discover and classify malicious traffic. We performed through Tor. The black markets (e.g., Silk Road [2], an comprehensive analysis and extensive real-world experiments to online market selling goods such as pornography, narcotics validate the feasibility and the effectiveness of TorWard. Our or weapons1) can be deployed through Tor hidden service. results show that around 10% Tor traffic can trigger IDS alerts. Attackers also run botnet Command and Control (C&C) Malicious traffic includes P2P traffic, malware traffic (e.g., botnet servers and send spam over Tor. -
Piracy Versus Privacy: an Analysis of Values Encoded in the Piratebrowser
International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 818–838 1932–8036/20150005 Piracy Versus Privacy: An Analysis of Values Encoded in the PirateBrowser BALÁZS BODÓ University of Amsterdam, Institute for Information Law The Netherlands The PirateBrowser is a Web browser that uses Tor privacy-enhancing technology to circumvent nationally implemented Internet filters blocking access to The Pirate Bay. This article analyzes the possible consequences of a mass influx of copyright pirates into the privacy domain. The article addresses the effects of the uptake of strong privacy technologies by pirates on copyright enforcement and on free speech and privacy technology domains. Also discussed are the norms and values reflected in the specific design choices taken by the developers of the PirateBrowser. Keywords: piracy, privacy, Tor, privacy-enhancing technologies, policy Introduction Tor (The Onion Router), “endorsed by Egyptian activists, WikiLeaks, NSA, GCHQ, Chelsea Manning, Snowden” (Dingledine & Appelbaum, 2013), is a volunteer network of computers that relays Web traffic through itself to provide anonymous, unobserved, and uncensored access to the Internet. It has about 4,000 relays and about 1,000 exit nodes. Tor users connect to the network, and their Web traffic is channeled through the internal relays to reach its final destination through one of the exit nodes. This arrangement makes the identification and surveillance of Tor users difficult. Anonymity is promised by the difficulty of tracing the Web traffic that appears on the exit node back to the individual who initiated the traffic, as long as there is a sufficient number of internal hops in between. Protection from surveillance is granted by the fact that each link in the communication chain is encrypted. -
Monitoring the Dark Web and Securing Onion Services

Contact: [email protected] Monitoring the Dark Web Schriner 1 John Schriner Monitoring the Dark Web Contrary to what one may expect to read with a title like Monitoring the Dark Web, this paper will focus less on how law enforcement works to monitor hidden web sites and services and focus more on how academics and researchers monitor this realm. The paper is divided into three parts: Part One discusses Tor research and how onion services work; Part Two discusses tools that researchers use to monitor the dark web; Part Three tackles the technological, ethical, and social interests at play in securing the dark web. Part One: Tor is Research-Driven Tor (an acronym for 'the onion router' now stylized simply 'Tor') is an anonymity network in which a user of the Tor Browser connects to a website via three hops: a guard node, a middle relay, and an exit node. The connection is encrypted with three layers, stripping a layer at each hop towards its destination server. No single node has the full picture of the connection along the circuit: the guard knows only your IP but not where the destination is; the middle node knows the guard and the exit node; the exit node knows only the middle node and the final destination. -
