## The Ethics Of Vigilantism: How Anonymous Is Like Batman http://dearthey.com/2012/01/22/the-ethics-of-vigilantism-how-anonymous-is-like-batman-israel-its-thin-but-its-there-and-the-american-revolution/ ..."So, Anonymous is like Batman. They use extralegal methods to punish those that would limit our freedoms and crush us under unjust laws. Are there methods correct? Are they the good guys? Is Batman a hero? No, not really."

## Totally Witchin' A friend introduced me to Witch house today. And I started listening to some compilations on Bandcamp, such as this one by artists from witch-house.com http://witch-house.bandcamp.com/album/midwinter If it were up to me, I'd call it glitchy gothic downtempo made to look cool with wiccan themes and unpronounceable ASCII character art. But yeah, witch house will do, LOL. Any of you out there have recommendations on what witch house artists to listen to?

Top German cop uses spyware on daughter, gets hacked in retaliation

According to the report, a top German security official installed a trojan on his own daughter's computer to monitor her Internet usage. What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing—well, at least until one of the daughter's friends found the installed spyware. The friend then went after the dad's personal computer as a payback and managed to get in, where he found a cache of security-related e-mails from work. The e-mails, in turn, provided the information necessary for hackers to infiltrate Germany's federal police.

Filipinos today felt what Egyptians had to go through during the Arab Spring when the kill-switch was turned on.

Why Soundcloud Is The Most Interesting Startup In The World, And Why 2012 Is The Year of Music Startups ------------ As a set of code, #Soundcloud is the best utility for sharing audio with the world of people and I’m sure that as it grows it won’t just be music that is shared there. As a cultural artifact, however, it captures something much more profound: the transition of music from a world of highly-controlled, highly-produced, professional acts, to a world of explosive creativity, genre blending, experimentation, and just-a-minute-ago-amateur superherodom. http://nlwis.me/post/15253031163/why-soundcloud-is-the-most-interesting-startup-in-the #audio #production #online #app #startup #music #remix #culture

File-Sharing Recognized as Official Religion in Sweden ------------------------------ Since 2010 a group of self-confessed pirates have tried to get their beliefs recognized as an official religion in Sweden. After their request was denied several times, the Church of Kopimism – which holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols – is now approved by the authorities as an official religion. The Church hopes that its official status will remove the legal stigma that surrounds file-sharing. http://torrentfreak.com/file-sharing-recognized-as-official-religion-in-sweden-120104/ #copyright #filesharing #piracy #IPR #religion #sweden
