Microsoft to stop illegal downloads as Kodi, The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and others to be blocked in Windows 10The fight against piracy has been a long one. With people on either side of the fight & debate sticking to their guns on the matter.
However, it now looks like the software giant might change the piracy landscape once and for all.New PatentThis report comes on the basis of a new patent filed by Microsoft that could potentially allow it to block content being shared without the copyright holder’s permission. If true, this action could snip the problem of unauthorized content sharing right at the root.Microsoft’s patent relies on fingerprint recognition to identify the source of these illegal files and block them. Along with blocking these files, users who frequently share files without authorization could end up being singled out and punished.
This system, if implemented could be much more effective in stomping out piracy than the current system of the copyright holder issuing legal notices. The patent filed by Microsoft reads as:“Objects in a shared storage system can be marked as including prohibited content.
Incidents that result in objects being so marked can be stored in an incident history associated with a user responsible for those objects. The incident history can be processed to identify repeat offenders and modify access privileges of those users.”“However, when objects are shared by one user with another user, prohibited content is blocked from being shared, while the remainder of the shared objects can be accessed by the other user. Functions that allow sharing of content are implemented so as prevent sharing of prohibited content with another user, while allowing other content to be shared. If a group of files or objects is shared, then the presence of prohibited content in one object in the group results in that prohibited content not being shared, but the remaining files or objects are still shared.”Though this is new news, the fact that Microsoft might eventually join the fight against piracy is not old news. Long before reports of the patent broke, there were reports of a kill switch in Windows 10 that could search and identify pirated content for the purpose of disabling and deleting the files. Although those plans did not roll out with Windows 10, there were appeals made by anti-piracy agencies to Microsoft advocating the need for them to include such a feature in their popular OS.The fight so farThis patent comes in the wake of increased pressure on resources for sharing pirated content such as The Pirate Bay and Kodi.
Readers of this website would be aware of the saga that played out when copyright protection groups across the US and Europe used the legal system to block access to The Pirate Bay. The resistance displayed by Pirate Bay at the time only seemed to have increased its popularity and resulted in multiple points of access to their servers through proxies. Once that filed, the focus has shifted onto individuals responsible for sharing the content in the first place.
The International Property Office (IPO) in the UK has increased the prison sentence for unauthorized sharing of copyrighted content to 10 years from 2.The IPO had previously commissioned a study that suggested online copyright infringement should carry similar sanctions to those used for counterfeiting offences. Minister of State for Digital and Culture at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport Matt Hancock said: “I’m delighted the Digital Economy Act has become law. This legislation will help build a more connected and stronger economy.”While its unlikely that individual users will be handed out prisons sentences, they could be required by law to get involved in the legal process. First; I don’t think that the author of this “article” actually understands the patent that he is talking about.
It doesn’t refer to 3rd party software that is used to share pirated content. It is referring to using integrated elements of windows to share pirated content, such as sharing a directory among a workgroup inside a LAN.Secondly, Kodi (XBMC) is a MEDIA PLAYER. It is not a content pirating program. It is a MEDIA PLAYER. That other people write plugins FOR kodi that do pirate media does not make kodi a pirating platform.If you disagree with me, then your position is that WINDOWS is a pirating platform, since other people write programs that run inside windows for the purpose of pirating media.THIRD, there is NOWHERE in the patent that it makes even roundabout mention of kodi.
If I have ditch Windows10, I’ll go to Windows10S. If I have to ditch that too, I’ll revert to Windows8.1. If some day I have to just ditch windows completely, I will NOT be touching linux with a ten foot pole. Not that Linux is bad, it’s wonderful. But I can’t use any of my favorite apps on Linux.
Linux apps are mostly watered down versions of misc other OS apps. Using WINE is just sad in almost all cases. I’ll certainly be going to Android, which at least hides the bits of linux it uses under the hood.
Android is a fine replacement for any OS out there. RemixIO is doing some nice things with Android for Desktop, as is Samsung. Bill Gates is looking for people to stop using their Windows X, because they want to take control of a product paid by the user, and opt for the second option of linux, or another system that is similar, because he wants to take everything The control of our daily actions, knowing until when one goes to sleep, and that does not have any pribacidad, outside that windows since it installs, already comes with an internal keyloger to know that is done with its product, and that is rather well Punished by law, but it seems that in this case the law is supporting it.
