10 Reasons Lots of Websites Violate SOPA and Don’t Know It

Posted by Caitlin O'Hagan on January 25th, 2012

This article was originally posted at InternetServiceProviders.org

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve at least heard of SOPA. Detractors have compared the bill to censorship policies in countries such as China, Iran and Syria; the grassroots effort to stop it have been massive. Administrators from some of the largest sites in the world have publicly opposed the measure for many reasons, one of which is that inadvertent violations could sound the death knell for a website. Here are ten of the reasons why violating SOPA could be so easy that a site would be unaware until it was too late.  Fortunately, the SOPA bill is delayed/shelved in Congress right now but it’s still important to remember the impact it could have some day.

  1. Vague Language – Though House supporters have claimed that SOPA is designed to protect the intellectual property of Americans from foreign profiteers that illegally distribute content in exchange for advertising and membership revenue, the vague wording of the bill makes it difficult to understand exactly what constitutes a violation and certainly doesn’t offer immunity to inadvertently-offending American sites.
  2. User-Submitted Content – If a site allows any sort of user-submitted content to be posted as part of their business model, they could very easily find themselves in violation of the Stop Online Piracy Act. Under the current language of the proposed law, the owner of the site that hosts the content, the user that posts a link to the content and the website that allows the user to submit that link could all potentially be charged with violating the bill.
  3. The “Friend-of-a-Friend” Effect – Do you remember when you were a kid, and the friend of a friend did something that got you all in trouble? Maybe you weren’t directly involved, and maybe you didn’t even like that person very much, but your mom still said that you were “guilty by association.” Under SOPA, the same principal applies: even if a link to legitimate and legal content housed on another site is shared, the site that posts the link could be punished if the hosting site is found to house illegal content as well.
  4. The Comments Section – One of the quickest ways to lose faith in humanity and the education system is to take a look at the comments section of a YouTube video or comedy article; comments are almost universally inflammatory and poorly spelled, but that’s still legal. Should SOPA pass and one trolling user posts copyrighted material in the comments section, the site would be in violation and could face blacklisting, blocking of revenue and DNS blocking.
  5. Banner Ads – Aside from being an irritating part of web-surfing, banner ads are arguably the lifeblood of the internet. Those blinking, shouting, IQ-test-offering bits of space pay for the hosting and maintenance of your favorite sites. Depending on how those ads are distributed, the site admins usually have little to no control over their content. Foreign companies can (and do) use protected images in these sites, which could lead to SOPA complaints for the site that hosts the ad.
  6. Fair Use – Copying material that is copyrighted for “transformative” purposes, such as creating a parody, is called “fair use,” and has a precedent of use as a legal defense against infringement claims. SOPA would effectively end the practice of fair use, as investigation of claims isn’t required in the current wording of the bill. Hosting currently-allowed fair use images or content could lead to violation charges.
  7. Housing a Discussion Forum – Many websites dedicated to a niche interest or subject also house a forum for users to discussed this shared interest. SOPA would make it almost impossible for sites to allow forums, due to the violating content that many users have in their signatures and avatars. Even if those users never shared a single illegal download link, the site could still be in violation from those avatars and signature panels.
  8. VPN Violations – Because the SOPA wording allows culpability to be extended to anyone aiding someone who posts copyrighted material, a web-based company that uses a virtual private network could find themselves facing allegations in the event that another network user shares illegal content.
  9. Search Engine Results – Part of SOPA’s line of defense against piracy is to require the blocking of offending sites from search engine results. Should a site that hosts such content slip through the cracks of a search engine site, that search engine could be held liable for violations.
  10. Open Source Software – For every expensive piece of software available, there’s a perfectly legal, user-built open source version. Created by users for users, the open source format is one of the great accomplishments made possible by worldwide networking. Companies like Mozilla, whose Firefox browser allows open source plug-ins, have already come under fire for permitting the creation and use of plug-ins that would allow access to sites wrongfully blocked in the event that SOPA passes.

Though there is no question that piracy is a problem that affects the entertainment industry to the tune of millions, SOPA is not the solution. While supporters pay lip-service to the idea of protecting American interests, the bill could potentially crush the internet as a viable source of start-ups and entrepreneurial spirit. The inherent riskiness of any web-based venture in a post-SOPA America would discourage investors from putting money into these ventures.

“If You Are Planning For a Future Beyond 100G the Answer is Today”

Posted by Jaymie Scotto on August 3rd, 2011

June’s Telecom Exchange event featured a CEO roundtable comprised of the industry’s top C-Level executives. Among these C-levels was XKL’s CEO, Len Bosack. The discussion focused on the future of telecom and the demand for “more” at a faster rate. In the discussion on speed, Len brought up fiber quality. As companies want to move capacity faster, they begin to realize the fiber that was previously acceptable is not acceptable any longer. Discrepancies in fiber, such as age and damage that could be hidden before are now transparent as the demand for speed increases.  Len continues to discuss that if companies want to go above 100G than it is time for a new plan; existing equipment will not be able to continue to run efficiently at increasing speeds on the infrastructure that exists today. A new plan for new fiber is crucial for the future of 100G and beyond and XKL is preparing for that future through testing equipment on new fiber.

XKL develops products that fit into a systems-oriented vision of an optical network. XKL engineers perform extensive network modeling, develop a comprehensive architecture, select a specific implementation of that architecture, and validate that implementation through exhaustive simulation. This extensive testing is what makes XKL’s equipment reliable, cost-efficient and easy to use.

Allied Fiber & Human Productivity Lab Share Insight on the Future of Telepresence

Posted by Jaymie Scotto on July 19th, 2011

Allied Fiber CEO, Hunter Newby and Human Productivity Lab President, Howard S. Lichtman attended this year’s Broadband Properties Summit in Dallas, TX. Jaymie Scotto & Associates (JSA) recently caught up with the two telecom thought-leaders to get their input on the trends in the telepresence industry, the networks needed to support its growth and where the future is heading. For the complete interview, please read below.

JSA: How do you see video collaboration developing in the US versus the rest of the world?
Howard S. Lichtman (HSL): The United States is home to the dominant players in telepresence and visual collaboration end-points and environments (by market share) including: Cisco/TANDBERG, Polycom/HP, Vidyo, LifeSize, Teliris, DVE, AVI-SPL, and TelePresence Tech.  The US leads the world in managed video services and inter-networking telepresence as well with AT&T, Glowpoint, MASERGY, Providea, IVCi, Solutionz, York Telecom, Verizon.  Many of the important non-domestic companies that have significant market share or whom are making inroads with innovative or disruptive products are doing so through the strength of American companies they have acquired or significant staff/offices/sales efforts in the United States.  Examples include: BT (acquired WireOne), Tata, and Vu TelePresence.

 

JSA: What can high-speed networks do to support telepresence growth?
HSL: The telecom carriers are big supporters because telepresence loads networks and the customers are typically large Fortune 5000 customers that get locked into multi-year contracts and don’t have problems paying the bills. Wall Street loves recurring revenue and the spend on network and managed services is greater than the cost of the equipment.  Probably the #1 thing that the high-speed network providers could do to support the growth of telepresence is peer with each other and support cross-network QoS by matching QoS tags between disparate providers.

 

JSA: Where do you see the future of video and telepresence heading?
HSL: One of the most interesting dynamics in telepresence is that all the major inputs to realistic telepresence environments are dramatically improving in areas such as: higher resolutions and frame rates, larger screen sizes, brighter LED & DLP projectors and better quality of service on networks.

At the same time the cost of these components is falling.  We see high-end telepresence environments becoming more and more realistic while, at the same time, we see wider adoption and greater utility. By utility we mean that who you can talk to and what content can be reached will grow dramatically.  Telepresence and video exchanges which connect disparate networks at high speeds and quality will continue to grow, improving the ability to reach more and more organizations. At the same time the best effort Internet continues to improve to handle video while next generation video protocols like SVC improves video quality over bumpy networks.  Directory services are simplifying 

On the lower end, we see video becoming ubiquitous in the home through low-cost, high quality appliances, set-top box integration, and more sophisticated and higher quality video phones.  We see mobile devices with more sophisticated video capabilities that have better integration into unified communications solutions at high quality.  The industry is slowly and surely moving towards the ability for any video end-point to communicate with any other end-point.

 

JSA: How does dark fiber support video collaboration and telepresence?
Hunter Newby (HN): Without dark fiber and the network operators that light it and offer high-speed transport on dedicated links two-way video and telepresence would not work optimally, if at all.

 

JSA: What demand do you see in video throughout the US?
HN: Video over IP networks of all kinds is growing at an incredible rate. Fiber-based transport networks are being stretched to their maximum and then some to support video over public as well as private IP networks. Video over mobile is a subset of that growth and it has its own challenges. It is dynamic in a wireless sense which requires spectrum, towers and antennas physically fixed in place to deal with demand wherever the demand may be – which is growing and shifting all of the time. Wireless also places a major strain on fiber-based transport for backhaul which is also a fixed-in-place, physical process. Wireless backhaul takes time to build and keeping up with the number of devices being sold and the expectations of the buyers to have everything everywhere always is daunting.

 

JSA: What type of network support is needed to aid future growth of telepresence in the US?
HN: Telepresence is unique within the video market due to its quality and reliability. These attributes are derived from superior technology and care in the networks used by telepresence providers. It is not basic, full-duplex video. These providers typically use much higher resolution cameras, monitors and codec’s and therefore there is a corresponding need for more transport capacity. The public Internet is usually not an option due to its unreliability unless both sides are on-net to the same ISP backbone and there is a direct city-city fiber path with no other provider’s routers in between. The type of network support required will be logical and methodical investment in new fiber for the local, middle and long portions of the path. Whether by building new, or leasing dark from a provider of fiber, or leasing multiple 10 G’s from those that have their own dark fiber these are the elements in the core that will make telepresence grow and succeed.
