Hello and welcome to Hardrived Podcast!

In this podcast you will hear a wide range of material. Everything from my super awesome dictation of my eccentric and thought provoking posts.

Or just random rambling of an internet geek.

This podcast for most part will be recorded live from my kitchen and will be released for download as soon as its ready. 

In this week episode I will be reading to you one of my latest post in a series of post I'm titling The Internet is IRL! The first takes a look at the strategies and Implication of surveillance on the Internet. 

So here it is.

The Internet is IRL: The Implications and Strategies of Surveillance Upon The Internet

The Internet is IRL, Duh! I have never really thought about it but I just knew. Kinda like eggs at the grocery store. I mean you never really thought “how the hell do eggs get to the store?” You just went and bought your eggs. The Internet is the same way, you don’t get into some vehicle and travel to the Internet. The Internet is just there like eggs at the grocery store. 

This is why to me it is no surprise that any Internet Surveillance Legislation is merely a copy of any analog Surveillance Legislation. I live in South Texas and as a South Texan I am accustomed to events and experiences that people who live outside of the Southwest are perplexed by. One easy example would be Border Patrol “Checkpoints”, not along the actual border but slightly north of it. These Checkpoints serve as secondary points of entry and inspection for anyone trying to travel north from many points along the Southwest. 

The digital counterparts of “checkpoints”, would be any surveillance technology from web crawlers to backdoors. The only difference would be that we lose the ability to opt-out or demand a warrant. In Real Life I can demand a warrant if police show up at my house demanding to search it. I can inspect the warrant and insure that they only look through or take what the warrants states. On the Internet I lose that. Anyone can be snooping on me right now. Tracking very keystroke, looking through my browsing history, and taking whatever information they want from me. 

Of course not just governments have these capabilities any worthy criminal looking to steal my credit card information can do this. But if a criminal does this I automatically become a victim. But can you say the same if the government does it? 

I would like to leave you with some food for thought. It basically boils down to in meat-space you can demand that you see a warrant. You can demand equal and fair treatment under the law. So why is the Internet which is IRL considered a special case scenario? Laws like CISPA create these types of problems in which the Internet is treated like a special place outside of IRL. 

For me the Internet is not a special place outside of my real life existence it is part of it. Even though I hate having to wait in line at the Border Patrol Checkpoints I do it knowing that they have to respect my rights and uphold the law. But laws that attack my rights and freedoms while using the Internet do not do the same. If they are passed they would be far worse than a Border Patrol Checkpoint. Most importantly how can we protect our rights and freedoms from them. 

I want to thank my listeners and readers and hopefully we can do some great things together.

Thanks and talk to you soon.

Hello and welcome to the Hardrived Podcast!

In this podcast you will hear a wide range of material. Everything from my super awesome dictation of my eccentric and thought provoking posts.

Or just random rambling of an internet geek.

This podcast for most part will be recorded live from my kitchen and will be released for download as soon as its ready.

This weeks episode I will read to you my latest post on FOSS Formats I dive into some of my experiences with the formats and what they mean to me. Also I give some encouraging words for new GNU/Linux users. So let’s get to it, here it is.

FOSS Formats

For the most part I use Ubuntu for all of my computing needs. It can handle really simple task and complex ones almost seamlessly. When I first began to use Ubuntu I struggled with it. I took for granted the plea from the FOSS community to use FOSS formats whenever and wherever possible. My first noob mistake was with Flash player in Firefox. Oh, how I learned the hard way on that one! My next disappointment came when I wanted to play and MP3 file. “Sorry you do not have the proper codecs installed”. What in the world was a codec and why did I have to install it?

In the last few releases Ubuntu has made it easier for new user to get up and running. By providing installation of all non-FOSS codecs during the installation process users can get everything they are accustomed too. That is great news for newer user of Ubuntu and GNU/Linux overall. But I slowly began to realize that after every upgrade or change of distro, I had to install this or that codec. I got tired of codecs and I got tired of having to install a bunch of stuff all the time. That was one of the reasons I left Windows!

I realized then that I had to change my habits, after all Ubuntu was not Windows. So why was I trying to use it like it was? That’s when I began to research and use FOSS formats. FOSS formats are simply Free and Open Source alternatives to proprietary or closed source formats such as .AAC or .WMA. The great thing about FOSS formats was they obviously worked out of the box in Ubuntu. No need to install anything just click and play.

The first step was to convert my entire music library to a FOSS format and then videos. The next step was to begin using Open Document formats in LibreOffice. After awhile it was a seamless process. I had successfully changed my computing habits to better fit with that of the FOSS community. I learned neat tricks, got great tips from the community and got help online. Using FOSS formats proved to be a reliable way of doing everyday computing tasks.

Currently I am writing this post with LibreOffice in Ubuntu. I record and edit my podcasts with Audacity in Ubuntu. The possibilities are endless with GNU/Linux but you can expand your horizon by using it like it was meant too and FOSS is the way to do it. Of course I (unlike some) won’t cast you as a fool for using non-FOSS codecs or even software. Instead what I will do I teach you about them and let you decide whether it’s right for you. In my experience I have converted several friends and family to the Ubuntu flock. But before I did I made sure they understood that Ubuntu was not Windows or MacOS. I let them test it out and showed the obvious differences. But I also showed them how they can still do all their computing needs in Ubuntu.

So I’ll end with this, FOSS formats are awesome. I encourage any new GNU/Linux user to try to use them as much as possible. But if you can’t just remember that many distros are making it easier to install proprietary formats(Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc). FOSS formats can provide freedom and flexibility that other formats just don’t provide. They can be as reliable and stable as their proprietary or closed source counterparts. So don’t shy away from GNU/Linux just because you heard it can’t play and MP3 or FLASH videos. GNU/Linux solved those issues a long time ago and continues to solve new ones. If you want to try GNU/Linux right now it the best time to do it, so go and see for yourself!

I want to thank my listeners and readers and hopefully we can do some great things together.

Thanks and talk to you soon!

FOSS Formats

Hello and welcome to the Hardrived Podcast!
In this podcast you will hear a wide range of material. Everything from my super awesome dictation of my eccentric and thought provoking posts.
Or just random rambling of an internet geek.
This podcast for most part will be recorded live from my kitchen and will be released for download as soon as its ready.

This weeks episode I will read to you one of my latest post entitled "A Re-Imagination of Copyright". In this post I give my opinions on how I think copyright should be thought of as opposed to the current way of thinking about copyright. Alright here it is, hope you enjoy. 

A Re-Imagination of Copyright.

﻿Currently copyrighted material is proving to be a big problem. I have been blogging on and off for about 4 years now. Recently I decided to go for it full-time. I knew copyright was going to be a grey cloud hovering over my head. Let’s face it learning about copyright law is not fun. Also consider the fact that in the digital age where making copies is stupid easy, copyright is completely ignored by most. People want to make copies of stuff and they want to share it for the most part. I have no problem with that but I struggled to ensure copyright was respected in this reality.

After some time thinking about it and discussing it with friends. I realized the only way to respect copyright is to simply allow people to copy your stuff. Now I know your heads must be spinning right now so let me explain in detail what I mean. First, if you post something online there is a 99.9% chance it will get copied. So deal with it! Your stuff will get copied by someone else if you post it online! You may be asking yourself right now, “what do we do about it and how do we stop it?” Well you can’t stop it and you shouldn’t either. What you can do about it is to simply reach out and ask that you are given credit for the work. If you want some monetary compensation then ask for it. Ask people to help fund your work through donations or to buy it and give it as a gift. This way you can still feed yourself or your family.

Copyright was meant to create a monopoly over a “product”. But that breaks down in our digital age. The idea of a monopoly created by copyright has to be re-imagined. My re-imagination is to create a monopoly of influence over your “product”. For example, if you state your case clearly enough for why you deserve for people to buy or donate to get a copyrighted copy of your work. Then you deserve a chance to have a successful product. It’s not a hard concept to understand and as a matter of fact the Hollywood film industry already does it! Hollywood films are heavily advertised. Think of the last big Hollywood film you saw and now think of how many previews or ads you saw for it. You probably saw a significant amount adverstising not just on T.V but online, in print, and radio. Hollywood spends a significant amount of time and money to ensure that you go watch a film. Isn’t that Hollywood influencing you on how to spend your money and time? I think it is and I think if they are able to get me to go watch a film then they stated their case clearly enough.

It has been said in various ways and by many people that musicians can make a profit by selling concert tickets even if they give away their music for free. Filmmakers can also make a living by selling their works in various formats that are DRM-free even when their works are pirated. Writers can make a living even if their books end up online. Several of the Harry Potter books ended up online before the actual release but J.K Rowling still made money from them. Why? Simple, because at the end of the day when we shut-down our computers we are all people. People will always chose to do the right thing(at least in my opinion) and they will buy a product if they feel it’s worth it. Take the idea of crowdfunding a project or a startup. People can view your idea and decide if it’s worth donating too. The projects that don’t receive their funding are naturally the ones that didn’t properly convey their idea.

These are simply my ideas, imagine what else can be imagined if more of us put some time into it. Imagine how many great films can be produced if Hollywood listened to consumers instead of following their own agenda. The beautiful thing about the Internet is its ability to create ideas in an organic fashion. Sure it may take a little longer to do it but the result is always democratic. So copyright can be re-imagined for the digital age we just have to actually do it.

I want to thank my listeners and readers and hopefully we can do some great things together.
Thanks and talk to you soon!
