  • The Affects of Open Source Software Licenses on Business Software
    Project Number: 48-KJR-COP5 The Affects of Open Source Software Licenses on Business Software An Interactive Qualifying Report Submitted to the Faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor Science by Devin Kelly Greg Holtorf Date: March 6, 2009 Professor Kent J. Rissmiller, Advisor 1 1 Abstract This project investigates open and closed source licenses and how each style of license changes the way business is done. We look at: license violations and consider techniques for reducing violations, why businesses use closed source and open source licenses, and the intellectual property rights businesses and individuals have in open source licenses. We show that open licenses are easier to enforce, but require a different business model and show how piracy can be effectively reduced. 2 Contents 1 Abstract 2 2 Introduction 4 3 Background 5 3.1 OpenSource ...................................... 12 4 Software License Enforceability 21 4.1 ClosedSource.................................... 24 4.2 OpenSource ...................................... 28 5 License Restrictiveness and Software Quality 30 5.1 ClosedSource.................................... 32 5.2 OpenSource ...................................... 34 6 Licenses and Software Usage 35 7 Source Code Ownership 39 7.1 ClosedSourceOwnership . ...... 39 7.2 OpenSourceOwnership ............................. ..... 40 7.3 Business Licenses and Open Source Ownership . ........... 41 8 Digital Rights Management as a Response to Piracy 42 8.1 The effects of Digital rights Management . ........... 42 8.2 SoftwareasaService.............................. ...... 45 8.3 ReducingPiracy .................................. 45 9 Software Piracy Rates 48 9.1 PiracyratesbycountryandIndustry. .......... 48 9.2 LicensingandPiracyRates . ....... 51 10 Open Source and Business 52 10.1 WhatBusinessesuseSoftware. ......... 52 10.2 WhereisOpenSourceSuccessful . ......... 53 10.3 CommissionedSoftware andOpenSource .

  • Lots of Virus Stuff
    Lots of Virus stuff, Here is a video of one of the worst public viruses over the last few years, my dad and sister were hit with this one, and our Sys Admin fixed numerous computers because of this exact thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co2zIsdwXU8 Script that is basically an irritating virus: @echo off :s start cmd.exe got :s Another, this can really scare people: shutdown -t 1000 –s Ten hackers that have taken real jobs: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/10-Notorious-Hackers-Who-Went-to-Work-for-The-Man-304218/ Zero-day attacks occur during the vulnerability window that exists in the time between when a vulnerability is first exploited and when software developers start to develop and publish a counter to that threat. For viruses, Trojans and other zero-day attacks, the vulnerability window follows this time line: . The developer creates software containing an unknown vulnerability . The attacker finds the vulnerability before the developer does . The attacker writes and distributes an exploit while the vulnerability is not known to the developer . The developer becomes aware of the vulnerability and starts developing a fix. TOP TEN COSTLY VIRUSES TO DATE (many of these are duplicated on the top ten most famous viruses in the other notes). 1. MyDoom The most devastating computer virus to date is MyDoom, which caused over $38 billion in damages. In addition to being the most expensive virus to date, its effects were far-reaching and fast-moving. When a user was infected with the virus it creates network openings which allowed others to have access to your computer.

  • Technical Information & Features
    Technical Information & Features Currently, more than 90% of top games publishers and several major non-games publishers trust SecuROMTM copy control to protect their intellectual property. No other copy control solution offers SecuROMTM’s combination of strong security and excellent compatibility. SecuROM has protected over 250 million discs to date. SecuROMTM – highest security with best compatibility SecuROMTM is the only copy control solution that effectively combats all three major piracy threats: digital clones, emulation, and cracks. • Digital Clones are discs that are copied onto CD-R, DVD-R or hard disk. Also known as 1:1, friend-to-friend, or casual copies, digital cloning is the most widely used piracy method. Therefore, it represents the biggest threat to your business. SecuROMTM ensures only legitimate users with an original disc can use your software. SecuROMTM protected applications can only be launched with an original disc. • Emulation tools are programs designed to bypass copy control solutions. These tools attempt to emulate the keycode required to unlock an encrypted application. The SecuROMTM copy control mechanism employs several highly developed algorithms that detect emulation tools and prevent them from working, thereby safeguarding your intellectual property. • Cracks are applications that have been modified to work without an original disc. To create cracks, hackers remove or modify the copy protection of an encrypted application, thereby allowing illegal users to start the application without the original disc. SecuROMTM uses various advanced encryption features to prevent cracks and protect your profits. High security is pointless without high compatibility. Unlike other copy control solutions, SecuROMTM places as much emphasis on usability as on strong protection.

  • User and Media Perception on Game Design Anti-Piracy Measures
    “Why you mad?” - User and media perception on game design anti-piracy measures Faculty of Department of Game Design Author: Raileanu Petrut Bachelor’s Thesis in Game Design, 15 hp Program: Bachelor’s Programme in Game Design and Graphics,180 c Supervisor: Ulf Benjaminsson Examiner: Xx June, 2020 1 Abstract Video game developers have implemented multiple measures to combat piracy throughout history. One of these measures, defined in this study as in-game anti-piracy measures, prevents player progression on unauthorized copies by degrading gameplay or drastically increasing the difficulty. This study conducts a content analysis research on textual data gathered from the world wide web to assess the public perception in regards to this type of anti-piracy measures. The data gathered for this study consists of 425 statements in the form of comments and forum posts that have been coded, divided into themes and then analyzed inductively to generate findings that can be linked to Moshirnia’s (2012) previous research. Even though no clear results occurred that can confirm Moshirnia’s (2012) findings, this study has discovered a potential connection between in-game anti-piracy measures promoting piracy. The findings also suggest that the unique “broke features” might lead to the popularization of games modded to let legitimate users experience them too.

  • [Proposed Class Or Classes of Copyrighted Work(S) to Be Exempted
    [Proposed class or classes of copyrighted work(s) to be exempted]= Class 1: Literary works, sound recordings, and audiovisual works accessible on personal computers and protected by technological protection measures that control access to lawfully obtained works and create or exploit security flaws or vulnerabilities that compromise the security of personal computers, when circumvention is accomplished solely for the purpose of good faith testing, investigating, or correcting such security flaws or vulnerabilities. Or, in the alternative: Class 2: Video games accessible on personal computers and protected by technological protection measures that control access to lawfully obtained works and create or exploit security flaws or vulnerabilities that compromise the security of personal computers, when circumvention is accomplished solely for the purpose of good faith testing, investigating, or correcting such security flaws or vulnerabilities. [Brief summary of the argument(s) in support of the exemption proposed above]= Since the third rulemaking, evidence has been uncovered indicating that security flaws in technological protection measures ("TPMs") affecting works outside the scope of the sound recording exemption granted by the Librarian have created similar security vulnerabilities in many more PCs. A flaw uncovered last year in Macrovision's SafeDisc software, one of the most widely used copy-protection systems for PC-accessible video games, exposed PCs to attacks similar to but even more dangerous than those enabled by the Sony rootkit. Because SafeDisc shipped preinstalled on nearly every copy of the Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2003 operating systems, the vulnerability affected nearly one billion PCs, two thousand times more than the rootkit. Serving as another prominent example of this kind of TPM is Sony's SecuROM software, utilized by dozens of high-profile video game publishers including Atari, Bethesda Softworks, Capcom, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Konami, LucasArts, Microsoft, Sega, and Ubisoft.
