Jag ville skriva något idag men mitt huvud är ett veritabelt slagfält av tankar och känslor orsakade av alla möjliga personliga och icke-personliga händelser. En print-out ser ut såhär:

Time.com precisionshackat!

Detta är nog något av det roligaste jag läst på flera månader.

Ni som hängt med på Internet kanske vet om att “moot” (skaparen/grundaren av 4chan) blev framröstad som The World Most Influental Person i TIME.COMs gigantiska internetomröstning.

TIME.COM skriver:

In a stunning result, the winner of the third annual TIME 100 poll and new owner of the title World’s Most Influential Person is moot. The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey. To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it’s worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.

Since moot launched 4chan.org in 2003, the site has given birth to Internet memes as diverse as Lolcats and Rickrolling. 4chan averages 13 million page views a day and 5.6 million visitors a month; by some estimates it is the second largest bulletin board in the world.

Nu kan man ju faktiskt tro att det är just detta som är det roliga, att 4chan.org har en sådan enorm inverkan på vad som florerar på resten av Internet, i vidarebefordrade e-postmeddelanden och IM/IRC-länkar, att det är en gigantisk thinktank som sprutar ut sig allt från det tråkigaste och dummaste till det roligaste och smartaste och har så många deltagare världen över att de unisont kunnat placera grundaren på första plats i omröstningen..

Men det är inte det som är det roliga, som bloggen Music Machinery skrivit ett långt och mycket läsvärt inlägg om.

Läser man nämligen den första bokstaven i varje kandidats namn uppifrån och ned så kan man läsa följande:
MARBLECAKE, ALSO, THE GAME

För en mer noggrann förklaring kring vad detta härstammar ifrån och för ett ruskigt gott och (i dessa bistra tider) välbehövligt skratt i sann internetanda så läs Music Machinerys postning, jag var bara tvungen att sprida den vidare. Som man gör med allt bra som kommer från 4chan, oavsett man vet om det eller inte.

Ett litet ljus av hopp

April 21, 2009 By: drf Category: Allvarligt 6 Comments →

Tillägg 138 (även känt som Tillägg 46) blev genomröstat med en förkrossande majoritet, 40 för, ynka 4 mot. Även om jag själv tycker att hela paketet luktar illa så är det trots allt ett litet ljus av hopp inför framtiden.

Nu väntar vi på att se hur siffrorna blir efter den slutgiltiga omröstningen om paketet blir den 5:e maj.

Att sitta som på nålar en hel kväll i väntan på att se hur ett rättssäkerhetsbevarande tillägg kommer bli genomröstat eller ej känns såhär i efterhand dock mycket, mycket bittert. Jag vill inte sitta och se hur man kompromissar om nätneutralitet. Nätneutralitet är grundpelaren för hur Internet fungerar och skall fungera i framtiden, utan nätneutraliteten öppnas otaliga vägar upp för just det som kommit att kallas “kabel-tv-internet”.

Man skulle kunna kalla det “Det Nya Internet”, ungefär som “De Nya Moderaterna”. Där du – precis som Lisa Magnusson så briljant illustrerar – prenumererar på olika typer av paket beroende på hur mycket konnektivitet du vill ha. “Stora Internetpaketet”, “Lilla Internetpaketet”, “Budgetsurfaren” osv. Hela Internet blir något för de rika, vanliga arbetare får börja budgetera för att kunna fortsätta ha kontakt med sina vänner i andra länder och via ovanliga forum och communitys.

Jag mår verkligen dåligt av att nätneutraliteten är under attack, men får vara glad för stunden att det åtminstone lagts ett stänk av rättssäkerhet i den hemska soppan där de gigantiska företagspamparna slåss med slevar för att få första provsmakningen.

Edit: I all brådska så glömde jag länka till Le domaine d’Anais som bröt nyheten först. Miss av mig.

Gammal goding, Pontén blir ägd.

Bästa citatet enligt mig:
Programledaren: – “Vårt inslag som vi gjorde om er har ni ju lagt ut på er egen hemsida?”
Henrik Pontén: – “Nä vi länkar bara!”

Jag vet inte vad det är för tung psykedelia som cirkulerar på vissa mediahus och bloggbyar där ute, men vad det än är så hoppas jag att någon skickar ett varuprov till mig, man lär ju för bövelen kunna köra charterresor till hästhuvudnebulosan bara genom att nosa lite på påsen. Den vanligaste bieffekten verkar dock vara att man totalt förlorar förmågan att identifiera orsak respektive verkan. Föreställ dig att du går på stan en helt vanlig dag, du nyser och samtidigt sker det en bilkrock i korsningen framför dig. Om du tagit denna drog så hade du för evigt trott att dina nysningar orsakar bilkrockar. Tänk dig så horribelt!

Detta är dock ändå vad som verkar har hänt där ute.

I samband med den fullkomligen vansinnigt hårda domen i Stockholms Tingsrätt mot killarna som varit inblandade i torrent-trackern The Pirate Bay så föll slutligen den absolut sista långt väntade droppen som fick Svenskens bägare att rinna över, och den rann över med råge. Piratpartiets medlemsantal fullkomligen exploderade över en helg. 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 15000, snart 20000 nya kollegor!

Om man tagit denna hittills okända drog så blir det fullkomligen självklart att Piratpartiet är ett parti som bara tilltalar “snyltande fildelare och snoriga, finniga tonårsdatanördar”, det blir även ställt bortom allt rimligt tvivel (till skillnad från så mycket annat på sistone) att Piratpartiets partiprogram bara har en enda punkt och där står “Gratis är gott” och sist men inte minst så står det skrivet i himlen att majoriteten av dessa nya medlemmar inte ens är röstberättigade.

Om man å andra sidan inte knarkat så tror jag att man ser ut ungefär såhär när man sett den trettionde personen yttra samma verklighetsfrånvända hallucinationsbeskrivning.

Tillåt mig skönja lite ljus över denna annars så förvirrande vardag. Tillströmningen till Piratpartiet har mycket mindre att göra med olaglig fildelning än vad ni vill tro. Det är oerhört lockande och lätt att avfärda de vrålande siffrorna på detta sätt, så jag förstår hur vissa mer än lovligt godtrogna själar inte kan stå emot, men i andra fall så är det näst intill chockerande att se denna nonchalans upprepas om och om igen.

Det som egentligen hände den sekund domen föll klockan 11:00 den 17:e April 2009 var att det Svenska Rättssamhället slängde av sig fårakläderna och för hela befolkningen visade den ohyggliga ulv som alla anat slumrade där under. Oerhörda mängder människor har följt rättegången slaviskt och majoriteten har varit överens om att åklagarsidan presenterade ett helt makabert svagt åtal där bristen på bevis ropade så högt att man knappt ens kunde höra vad de försökte säga. När Tingsrättens dom till slut kom blev det fullkomligt glasklart för dessa människor att rättssäkerheten var ett minne blott, att domen var beställd, och då insåg de att det bara finns ett sätt att visa hur missnöjda de är med att det system som är satt att skipa rättvisa går i upphovsrättslobbyns koppel. Nämligen att bli medlem i- och förhoppningsvis även framledes rösta på Piratpartiet.

En röst för Piratpartiet är inte en röst för olaglig fildelning, vi vill göra icke-kommersiell fildelning lagligt, inse skillnaden.
En röst för Piratpartiet är en röst för att skydda vår personliga integritet, rätten till att ha ett privatliv där ingen får snoka utan lov.
En röst för Piratpartiet är en röst för ett fritt och öppet Internet som vi formar tillsammans, för framtiden och informationssamhället.
En röst för Piratpartiet är en röst för en reformerad upphovsrätt som ska förhindra kulturkonservatism i form av 100åriga skyddstider.

Det som visats här är en icke mindre än massiv uppslutning i protest mot hur upphovsrättslobbyn och kulturgiganter desperat försöker göra ny innovativ teknik olaglig, att kriminalisera hela befolkningen för att bevara hopplöst utdaterade intäktsmodeller i skuggan av det spirande nya samhälle vi rör oss mot. Den enda chansen att stoppa den naturliga utvecklingen mot detta nya samhälle är att gå diametralt åt andra hållet, att skapa det kompletta kontrollsamhället, direkthämtat ur George Orwells bok “1984″. Att tro att det finns något mellanläge är självbedrägeri å det grövsta. Det är bara att slänga ett snabbt skrämt öga på den annalkande vrålande bombmattan av integritetskränkande och Internetreglerande lagar för att förstå att detta inte är något annat än den värsta företagsledda statskuppen i mannaminne.

Offren räknas inte i skadade eller lik, de räknas i försvunna mänskliga rättigheter och framtidsutsikter.

Rösta på Piratpartiet i EU-valet den 7:e juni, och i Riksdagsvalet 2010.
För integriteten, framtiden, och friheten.

Society reborn, and/or why I love the Internet

April 18, 2009 By: drf Category: Allvarligt 3 Comments →

A couple of days ago, it was asked of me to hold a short little seminar for some new employees in the economy department about what we actually work with as an ISP, a sort of introduction to us as a company, what we sell and what we do. Their job is not to know this, their job is to crunch the numbers and thanks to that they do not often possess any greater knowledge of the whole technical part. I got the e-mail asking me to do this at 9am and they were supposed to come down into the mountain where i work already after lunch the same day. To cut it short I jotted down some words on a piece of paper and just decided to wing it since i’ve never ever done anything like it before, i hate talking to a group of people, and did i mention i hate talking to a group of people?

The first line on said piece of paper was “What IS The Internet, really?“.

Since i wanted to keep everything brief i decided to explain The Internet by simply stating that it is the sum of all individual networks belonging to ISP’s throughout the world, connected to act as one. Ever changing, never static. This seemed to be simple to grasp and it had to suffice. The seminar went very well and everyone was happy.

Yesterday evening however, i watched a 55 minute long YouTube-video about YouTube itself watched through an anthropologists eyes, and since then my mind has been racing with new ways to look at the actual Internet and what we are doing with it. Anyone and everyone should set aside 55 minutes of their lives at some point and watch the video since it – even though focusing on YouTube alone – actually is applicable to The Internet as a whole. Seriously, i’m telling you, watch it. Yes. Seriously. Do it. Thank you.

What that video did to me in its full extent is yet to be discovered, but so far i can say that it moved me, forcifully, on a deep level.

The Internet opened up a completely new chapter in human history by itself. The mere concept of instant global connectivity was unthinkable only 50 years ago, and here we are now, the year is 2009, and last night – with the click of a button – i got connected to a 19 year old chinese filmstudent and talked with him about anything and everything. The Internet is society reborn. It is the most beautiful collaboration ever created by human kind and provides endless possibilities for regular people to achieve whatever they want to achieve.

Do you play in a band with your friends?
- Share your music with the world by the click of a button and watch as hundreds, thousands, or maybe millions of human beings all around the entire planet Earth download it and listens to it. Some like it, some hate it, some will ask you for more, some will tell you to never touch an instrument ever again, some will cherish you, some will call you a cockfag, some will buy an eventual cd, some will not.

You are your own producer, you produce yourself. Anyone, ANYONE, can build a solid fanbase through The Internet alone, with absolutely no money or a miniscule amount of such. This was completely unpossible before the P2P-technology was developed and spread across the globe through The Internet.

Do you have a cool idea for a new software or webservice but lack the means to develop it by yourself?
- Throw out a request on The Internet for programmers and developers that might have time and the will to collaborate with you. Watch as true decentralization and human collaboration explodes right in front of your eyes. If you have a good idea, you will have a team of experts working with you in a matter of days, people you perhaps will never meet in real life and would never have spoken to otherwise.

The possibilities are truly endless.

The human race has through the invention of The Internet and P2P-sharing been thrown into a completely new world where decentralized collaboration and interaction above the confines of geographical boundaries spurs the developing of a new society where we all can step up and produce content for others to consume, be it art, music, games, films, humour, blogs or whatever other content you may have to share.

However, this whole idea of us regular people becoming producers aswell as consumers is very troubling for the old businessmodels which we have been relying on for so long, where there is a very distinct regulation of who is allowed to produce and who is allowed to consume. It has proven to be very hard to reinvent commercial businessmodels in the same speed as we have reinvented communication between human beings.

This is the reason why we all have been – and will continue to be – forced to watch the spectrial against the creators of The Pirate Bay. They acted as true entrepenaurs do(except the fact that they didn’t charge anyone money), identify a need expressed by the public and facilitate that need, and thus created The Pirate Bays torrent tracker to allow people all over the world to share whatever they want with whoever wants it. They have now been convicted in the first court instance of the Swedish hierarchial lawsystem to serve 1 year in prison and pay 30 million SEK (~$3.6 million) for the fact that some of Earths inhabitants decided to use their service for unlawful acts in form of sharing content breaching the protection provided by the – now hopelessly outdated – copyright laws.

These are regular Joes, they saw a need, facilitated it through inventive programming, and released their service to the entire world for us to use and abuse. They are now held responsible for other peoples use of said service. This is something utterly appauling to anyone that holds real justice close to heart.

I do not want to speculate as to how much of the traffic passing through The Pirate Bay was directed to or from sources containing copyrightprotected content, beacuse it is utterly and irrevocably irrelevant. The reason is that you have to see the fact of global breaching of old copyright laws is the direct voice from the inhabitants of this planet. We as the human race have said “this law is not worth following anymore, we will breach it”. Since we have the ultimate power in our hands to do what we will with anything in this world as long as the majority of everyone else agrees that it is OK, this must be considered the ultimate evidence of the discrepancy between the laws and the will of the people.

History says that government and lawmakers are to be replaced when they do not longer represent the people, this is what is happening now and they need to be overthrown and replaced to make room for the new society that is growing throughout the world. If this means that there won’t be any more $500 million movieproductions from gigantic corporate producers, then so be it, it is the will of the people living on this planet.

I do not believe that P2P-sharing is killing the entertainment-industry at all, but if I – for the sake of argument – presume that it is, I am completely fine with seeing no more superhuge-budget movies, albums, musicvideos and such and instead consume completely usergenerated content from people and groups around the world. I welcome such a world with warmth in my heart since i know that it would be the decentralized, collaborative opinion of the entire world combined.

I wish to make this clear, therefore i will repeat this statement with more clarity:

If the future that we as a human race have chosen by deciding that the copyright laws of old are not longer something we wish to follow holds no more huge multimillion dollar productions in forms of movies, albums and videos etc. I for one welcome it with open arms. I truly hope that these corporations are dismantled and reutilized in the wake of the new society that has been born, because we are now not only nations apart, but a collective together, collaborating and communicating through the means of The Internet, where one voice is many, and many are one. Our will must be heard and made true, since it is the will of the planet. If that means the disassembly of old structure and practice then so be it, to make room for a new world, where we all are the producers of our collective reality.

We are Legion.

Stranger: so why is that
You: i don’t know. but i feel the same.

You: governments pay for the education until they’re 18 years old, after that they have to loan money themselves

Niklas Svensson – Sug internetpåle

April 10, 2009 By: drf Category: Allvarligt 12 Comments →

Hej Niklas, var vänlig och böj dig framåt och vänta på att vi serverar dig den populära rätten Internetpåle(tm).

Att sitta som en liten fisig journalist och skapa låtsasscoop är en sak, sånt har “journalister” gjort i alla tider, att däremot sitta som en liten fisig journalist och skapa låtsasscoop och göra det katastrofalt dåligt är något som få lyckas med i dagsläget. :D

Att Rick Falkvinge är polyamorös vet varenda människa som känner honom om, och alla som inte vet det känner honom inte och har därför ingen talan. Tråkigt Niklas, men ditt “Avslöjande” är ungefär lika avslöjande som om jag skulle avslöja att Reinfeldt är näst intill flintskalle.

För fan människa, klipp dig och skaffa dig ett jobb, jag kommer aldrig någonsin i hela mitt liv bry mig om något du skriver. :)
