L. & Pol'y (2014). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/jlp/vol23/iss1/8 This Note is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. THE COPYRIGHT ALERT SYSTEM: A POTENTIAL UNFAIR BURDEN ON SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS Rachel A. Schneidman* The Copyright Alert System (CAS) confers on Internet Service Pro- vider’s (ISPs) the power to use “mitigating measures” against alleged copyright infringers in order to discourage piracy. This power is a result of a voluntary agreement between the ISPs, the Motion Picture Associa- tion of America, and the Recording Industry Association of America. Alt- hough the effectiveness of the CAS and the privacy concerns it raises have been analyzed in academic literature, the possible encumbrance of the CAS on small business owners has not been sufficiently considered. This Note argues that while the CAS may be a valuable tool in im- peding online piracy, it has the potential to unfairly burden small busi- ness owners. Specifically, this Note asserts that the CAS’s scope should be expanded to include all broadband users, including residential and business users of every size.

There exist indications that PUP prominence has quickly increased over the last years, but the prevalence of PUP on both consumer and enterprise hosts remains unknown. Moreover, many important aspects of PUP such as distribution vectors, code signing abuse, and economics also remain unknown. In this thesis, we empirically and sys- tematically analyze in both breadth and depth PUP abuse, prevalence, distribution, and economics. We make the following four contributions. First, we perform a systematic study on the abuse of Windows Authenticode code signing by PUP and malware.

  • FAQ's on the Center for Copyright Information and Copyright Alert
    FAQ’s on The Center for Copyright Information And Copyright Alert System 1. How significant is online content theft? • Content theft is estimated to cost the U.S. economy $58 billion, 373,000 American jobs and $16 billion in lost employee earnings every year, and to cost federal, state and local governments $2.6 billion each year in lost tax revenue. However, data suggests1 that most users (up to 70%) would stop content theft once alerted that it is occurring, that it is illegal and that there are consequences associated with continuing to engage in it. A new educational center and system of alerts – similar to credit card fraud alerts – will help address this problem. The alerts will let subscribers know when their accounts have been identified for possible content theft, advise subscribers of the serious consequences associated with it, and encourage them to stop it from occurring again. 2. What is the Center for Copyright Information? • The Center for Copyright Information (“CCI”) will focus on educating subscribers about the importance of copyright protection and lawful ways to obtain movies and music online. The Center will also help to develop and confirm “best-practices” for a new system of progressive Copyright Alerts, similar to credit card fraud alerts, which will alert subscribers when potential content theft is identified on their Internet accounts. The Center is being established jointly by the film, music, and television industries in partnership with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and will benefit from guidance by consumer advocates and technical experts serving on its advisory committee or providing other expert services.

  • Solution Brief Recovering from Ransomware with Barracuda Backup
    Solution Brief Recovering from Ransomware with Barracuda Backup Ransomware is a malware variant that locks an end user’s computer or encrypts their files, then demands a sum of money to allow access or decryption. What’s worse, if an organization hands over the cash, there are often times when the attacker doesn’t play nice and still withholds the key even after payment. Ransomware is problematic for businesses because it not only results in financial loss, but also tainted credibility and lost productivity. However, this situation can be avoided if your organization has taken the steps to implement a ransomware prevention plan. In this solution brief, we will discuss some of the steps you can take to prevent ransomware attacks, as well as how to quickly recover from them using Barracuda Backup. Introduction Due to the sophistication of today’s threat landscape, ransomware can be difficult to catch right at the door. Once this malicious malware crosses the threshold, a business user is hit by a daunting message, informing the user that their computer and files have been seized, and payment is required. What’s equally perturbing is that ransomware doesn’t discriminate—it can happen to the mom and pop shops to large enterprises. It’s not a matter of if a business will get hit, but when. Protecting Your Organization from Ransomware Attackers have created many different variations of ransomware over the past few years, such as CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, TorrentLocker, TeslaCrypt, Locky, Petya, WannaCry, Bad Rabbit, and Samas. Each of these variations use new methods of infecting their victims’ computers, thereby compromising the data and network of many organizations worldwide.

  • How to Invest in Filecoin
    How to Invest in Filecoin Part I: Preparing to Invest Filecoin investments will be made on CoinList (coinlist.co), a US-based funding platform that connects investors to promising early-stage token sales. Created by Protocol Labs in partnership with AngelList, CoinList simplifies the token sale process and implements robust legal frameworks for token sales in the U.S. Before the sale begins, you will need to complete several preparation steps. Note that some steps include wait time of several days. For this reason, we recommend getting started as soon as possible and working in parallel while waiting for other steps to be reviewed or confirmed. Step 1: Create a CoinList account (5 min) Visit https://coinlist.co. Sign in with your AngelList account, or create a new account if needed. Step 2: Become a US accredited investor through AngelList (30 min + 1-3 day review) All token investors will need to meet US accredited investor requirements. Non-US investors can invest, but must meet the same requirements. You will be prompted to submit accreditation evidence. Step 3: Submit information for KYC/AML checks (15 min + instant review if no issues) You will be prompted to submit the details required for KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) checks as soon as accreditation evidence has been submitted. You do not need to wait until accreditation review is complete. Step 4: Transfer funds to relevant accounts (10min + 1-5 day wait) You can invest with your choice of the following currencies: US Dollars, Bitcoin, Ether, and Zcash. To invest using US Dollars: Go to https://coinlist.co/settings/wallet.

  • Filecoin Token Sale Economics
    Filecoin Token Sale Economics This document describes various aspects of the Filecoin Network, the Filecoin Token Sale, and the economics of both. Any updates to this document will be posted on the CoinList webpage for the Filecoin Token Sale: https://coinlist.co/currencies/filecoin. LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This document contains forward-looking statements, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. 1. Token Allocation The Filecoin Token will be distributed to the 4 major participating groups in the Filecoin Network. This allocation is written into the protocol itself and the Filecoin blockchain’s Genesis block. Each group is critical to the network’s creation, development, growth, and maintenance: ● 70% to Filecoin Miners (Mining block reward) ​ For providing data storage service, maintaining the blockchain, distributing data, running contracts, and more. ● 15% to Protocol Labs (Genesis allocation, 6-year linear vesting) ​ For research, engineering, deployment, business development, marketing, distribution, and more. ● 10% to Investors (Genesis allocation, 6 month to 3 year linear vesting) ​ ​ For funding network development, business development, partnerships, support, and more. ● 5% to Filecoin Foundation (Genesis allocation, 6-year linear vesting) ​ ​ For long-term network governance, partner support, academic grants, public works, community building, et cetera. 2. The Filecoin Token Sale Fundraising. Protocol Labs requires significant funding to develop, launch, and grow the Filecoin network. We ​ ​ ​ must develop all the software required: the mining software, the client software, user interfaces and apps, network infrastructure and monitoring, software that third-party wallets and exchanges need to support Filecoin, integrations with other data storage software, tooling for web applications and dapps to use Filecoin, and much more.
