Stop Another Expansion of Copyright: Tell the Senate to Vote No on S. 2823

by Katharine Trendacosta | EFF Activism Team

Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom, Copyright law is already too complicated and frustrating. We need to tell Congress not to make it even more so. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that combined the Music Modernization Act with the CLASSICS Act. While the Music Modernization Act generally does a good job of helping songwriters get paid for online streaming, the CLASSICS Act simply creates new barriers for lovers of old music. You can learn more here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/music-modernization-act-good-solution… The Senate's version of this combined bill, S. 2823, was recently introduced. S. 2823 would extend some cherry-picked parts of federal copyright to cover sound recordings made between 1923 and 1972, which are currently covered only by a patchwork of state laws. It would force streaming services to get licenses for those recordings, even though all that does is create a new subsidy for rightsholders (which are usually record labels and not artists) and make it harder for music fans to listen to old recordings. In the case of truly old recordings, finding the rightsholder could be so difficult that recordings that hold a mostly historical value would simply disappear from streaming services, unless one wishes to chance an heir showing up out of the woodwork, bringing a claim, and facing massive, unpredictable copyright penalties in court. There is no public benefit to this part of S. 2823, so tell your senators to vote no on it by going here: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-another-expansion-of-copyright-tell-the-sen… Thank you, Katharine Trendacosta Activism Team Electronic Frontier Foundation, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109 USA EFF appreciates your support and respects your privacy: https://www.eff.org/policy Unsubscribe from all mailings: https://supporters.eff.org/civicrm/mailing/optout?reset=1&jid=59122&qid=841… Change your email preferences: https://supporters.eff.org/update-your-preferences?cid1=2061725&cs=22c4cc28…

Downtime Riot, Website, Map

by Stefan Dunkel

Hallo zusammen, aktuell gibt es weiterhin Probleme mit dem Routing zwischen Frankfurt und Berlin. Auch nach 7 Stunden debugging konnte ich nichts feststellen und habe nun ein entsprechendes Ticket bei einem unserer Carrier aufgemacht. Bis dahin sind das Riot, die Map sowie die Website down. Wir versuchen unser bestes alles wieder online zu bekommen, können nur grade recht wenig machen. Sobald alles wieder läuft, geben wir Bescheid. Viele Grüße Stefan

A simple majority vote in Congress can keep the FCC’s decision from going into effect. From now until the Senate votes, EFF, along with a coalition of organizations, companies, and websites, is on red alert and calling on you to tell Congress to vote to restore the Open Internet Order.

While policymakers hear frequently from the FBI and the Department of Justice about the dangers of encryption and the so-called Going Dark problem, they very rarely hear from actual engineers, cryptographers, and computer scientists. EFF's panelists included Dr. Matt Blaze, professor of computer science at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Susan Landau, professor of cybersecurity and policy at Tufts University; Erik Neuenschwander, Apple’s manager of user privacy; and EFF’s tech policy director Dr. Jeremy Gillula. The discussion focused on renewed calls by the FBI and DOJ to create mechanisms to enable “exceptional access” to encrypted devices. Our goal was to give a technical description of how device encryption actually works and answer staff questions about the risks that exceptional access mechanisms necessarily introduce into the ecosystem. EFF's Gillula went last and concluded that in the cat-and-mouse game that is computer security, mandating exceptional access would freeze the defenders’ state of the art, while allowing attackers to progress without limit.

Building on a foundation first established by the recently enacted U.S. CLOUD Act, these proposals compel tech companies and service providers to ignore critical privacy obligations in order to facilitate easy access when facing data requests from foreign governments. These initiatives collectively signal the increasing willingness of states to sacrifice privacy as a way of addressing pragmatic challenges in cross-border access that could be better solved with more training and streamlined processes. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/04/tale-two-poorly-designed-cross-border… * Math Can’t Solve Everything: Questions We Need To Be Asking Before Deciding an Algorithm is the Answer Before rushing to employ algorithms to make decisions, companies should begin by asking five questions: 1) Will this algorithm influence—or serve as the basis of—decisions with the potential to negatively impact people’s lives? 2) Can the available data actually lead to a good outcome? 3) Is the algorithm fair? 4) How will the results (really) be used by humans? 5) Will people affected by these decisions have any influence over the system? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/math-cant-solve-everything-questions-… * Why Am I Getting All These Terms of Service Update Emails? Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on May 25th, and most companies that have users in Europe are scrambling to update their privacy policies and terms of service to avoid breaking this new EU law. It's still an open question whether the rules apply to users living outside the EU, but the changes involve refinements in terminology, how companies need to get permission to use data, and changes in user ability to look at the data itself, change it, and take it with them when they leave. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/why-am-i-getting-all-these-terms-serv… * The Big Lie ISPs Are Spreading in State Legislatures Is That They Don’t Make Enough Money ISPs claim that the net neutrality principle banning paid prioritization—where an ISP charges websites and applications new fees and relegate those that do not pay to the slow lane—means that they cannot make enough money to upgrade and extend their service. We know this isn't true because the majority of costs for ISPs are in the initial building of their networks, which they have already recouped. And we've recently seen new ISPs build high-speed Internet networks turn a profit relatively quickly while adhering to net neutrality. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/big-lie-isps-are-spreading-state-legi… * Mashup Maker: Another Entry for the Catalog of Missing Devices From an EFF Supporter Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes tampering with "Digital Rights Management" a legal no-go zone. This scares off inventors and tinkerers from building new tools that should be perfectly legal. EFF details examples of these non-existent technologies in the Catalogue of Missing Devices. EFF supporter Benjamin McLean offered up his "Mashup Maker" as an example. This program would have ripped tracks legally acquired and imported them into a personal library with a built-in editor, making it easier for people to make fair use of these tracks. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/mashup-maker-another-entry-catalog-mi… * There is No Middle Ground on Encryption Government officials are once again insisting that they still need to compromise our security via a backdoor for law enforcement. Opponents of encryption imagine that there is a “middle ground” approach that allows for strong encryption but with “exceptional access” for law enforcement. Government officials claim that technology companies are creating a world where people can commit crimes without fear of detection. Despite this renewed rhetoric, most experts continue to agree that exceptional access, no matter how you implement it, weakens security. The terminology might have changed, but the essential question has not: should technology companies be forced to develop a system that inherently harms their users? The answer hasn’t changed either: no. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/05/there-no-middle-ground-encryption : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : . : Announcements * Certbot Hackathon in Cleveland, OH Are you coming to PyCon?
