Stoppt die Balkanisierung des Internet!

Es reicht!
Relevante Zitate:

• BBC iPlayer (9% Internet Verkehr in UK): Not available in your area.

• TV & Kino: Release in einigen Ländern teils um Monate früher als in anderen

GeoIP und Copyright-Wirren ermöglichen diese Spaltung des Internet, Diskrimierung auf Zahlenbasis, Sitzplatzvorrechte im Bus des Informationsflusses für US-Bürger. US-Server, Proxy und Tunnelingdienste freuts, den Konsumenten ärgerts und man fragt sich wie lange dieser Blödsinn eigentlich noch weitergehen kann. Wo sind die "Freier Markt"-Schreier, die Freihandels- und Liberalwirtschafts-Blutlecker wenn es um den Zukunftsmarkt mit dem größten Wachstumspotential und den bisher größten Medienumschwung geht?

Es scheint die sind noch immer mit Email-Faxen und Internetausdrucken beschäftigt anstatt hier endlich zu handeln. Aktion!

Hipster

Wow, just recently I noticed that the term hipster is quite old. Starting with a mention in one of my favorite movies "Hackers": "[...] angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night [added italic] [...]", --- wow, literature just got me deep!

But what I'm actually referring to is the poem "Howl" from Allen Ginsberg (sources state it dates back to the fifties). Take a look, blew my mind -- no ideological associations intended.

This puts "Hackers" again close to surpass "Fight Club" as fav movie, _not_ an ez decision!

Privacy

From time to time I've been thinking about the HTTP referrer (referer) header field, because you don't think about the fact that this is info is being transferred while surfing. It kind of works against the mind-model of the Web (at least mine). So today I sought a solution:

• Firefox: about:config -> network.http.sendRefererHeader, setting it to 0 disables it, 2 should treat images differently (untested)
• Opera: should have an Option

Test it!

Another case against copyright laws

.. or at least in their present form. Copyright laws even seem to threathen the freedom of press. Consider this article commenting that the US might use copyright laws to press charges against Julian Assange.
