EU: Net Access is a Human Right, We’re Not Going To Take That Away

tually have a clue about the Internet. Case in point: Guy Bono, French socialist and member of the European Parliament for the south-east of France. The music and movie industry has been pressuring governments to shut off internet access for people who are “illegally” downloading copyrighted materials. It worked in France and it might work in the UK, but the EU Parliament has just voted in favor of Bono’s bill which asks individual countries to “avoid adopting measures conflicting with civil liberties and human rights … such as the interruption of internet access” (as translated from French by the good folks of PaidContent UK)

Broadband Network Management - CUSystems

We have recently observed this shift in policy, and have collected network traffic traces to demonstrate the behavior of their traffic shaping. In particular, we are able (during peak usage times) to synthetically generate a relatively large number of TCP reset packets aimed at any new TCP connection regardless of the application-level protocol. Surprisingly, this traffic shaping even disrupts normal web browsing and e-mail applications. Specifically, we observe two different types of packet forgery and packets being discarded.

Web Filters Prove Less Effective Than MPAA, RIAA Might Like

So you’ve heard that a number of organizations - namely the MPAA, RIAA, and the more global IFPI - have been trying to get ISPs to implement filters to prevent the illicit transfer of digital files through peer-to-peer technologies, most especially BitTorrent. Well, it turns out that those groups’ wishes to circumvent piracy are going to be quite a bit harder to fulfill. The reason being that companies hawking the software required to bring about a future of nonproliferation don’t quite pass the strength test. As Janko Roettgers of NewTeeVee has found, a number of vendors, given samplings of encrypted and unencrypted transfers to detect, have delivered mixed results.
