On 13 November 2014, EDRi met with the European External Action Service (EEAS) for a civil society consultation on the EU Human Rights Guidelines on Freedom of Expression Online and Offline. The EEAS aims at improving the Guidelines in the future and was seeking input to that end. EDRi had already outlined its position in its response to the 2013 public consultation on the Draft EU Human Rights Guidelines on Freedom of Expression. In August 2015, EDRi submitted a paper to update its position (see links below).
Branded a “Netflix for Pirates,” the Popcorn Time phenomenon took the Internet by storm over the past year.
Our veteran readers will perhaps remember Kirby Ferguson’s four-part video series Everything is a Remix. Created between 2010 and 2014, the series explored the idea that (to quote from one of my earlier posts) “great art doesn’t come out of nowhere.

It’s the candidates who play the long game, and play by the establishment’s rules, who usually win presidential nominations. Political parties have lots of ways to influence the race in favor of these candidates, from how they appoint superdelegates to how they schedule debates. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on advertising, meanwhile, and the bulk usually favors establishment candidates. And voters have a lot of time to make their decisions and can amend them as they go along — an insurgent candidate who wins Iowa or New Hampshire won’t necessarily have staying power if they’ve failed to build a broad coalition of support.
In Hollywood, BitTorrent is often framed as a threat due to its pirate stigma, but the technology also offers opportunities.
People are declaring war on pop-ups, commercials and advertising by installing ad-blocking software to keep commercials at bay as they browse the web
