Video-sharing sites, peer-to-peer file networks spotlighted

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Japanese government issued a formal statement of requests to the government of the United States on regulatory reform and market competition policy on October 18, and included a request for the United States to help stop the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of Japanese animation online. Specifically, the formal statement mentions the spread of Japanese animation and other materials on video-sharing sites and peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.

According to Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the distribution of copyrighted materials in the United States has increasingly damaged the creative industries of Japan. Despite frequent requests to remove unauthorized material from sites with user-submitted videos, the ministry says the fundamental problem remains unresolved for the foreseeable future. The ministry also says that the high legal costs and complex procedures of copyright infringement cases against peer-to-peer file-sharing are issues.

Japanese copyright holders have been sending increasing numbers of requests to remove unauthorized material from video-sharing sites such as Google's YouTube, and anime is its own category in several sites — inside and outside the United States — that link to file-sharing networks such as BitTorrent. The issues in the statement of requests were discussed in the fourth Japan-U.S. Trade Forum meeting which was held on October 18 in Tokyo.

Vakar atkodu to "ADV Films" uber kruto pretkopēšanas risinājumu - IDE kanāls, kuram pieslēgts DVD rakstītājs strādā PIO. Kāpēc? Lūk, izrādās, ka Win2k tika iekļauta funkcija, lai lasīšanas kļūdu gadījumā iekārtai vispirms samazinātu DMA ātrumu, bet, uzkrājoties gana daudziem lasīšanas time out vai CRC kļūdām, DMA vispār tiktu izslēgts. Āķis te ir "uzkrājoties", jā, pēc noklusējuma tiek uzkrāts kopējais kļūdu skaits (un limits, lai DMA vispār tiktu atslēgts, mainās atkarībā no Windows versijas, taču, AFAIK, nevienai tas nav lielāks par 10). Turklāt tie vēl ir tikai ziediņi, jo nav iespējams tā vienkārši DMA atkal ieslēgt, un DMA bremzēšana vispār nekur neuzrādās. Vienīgais 100% "risinājums" ir draivera atinstalēšana, kurš tiks atkal automātiski pieinstalēts atpakaļ, bet jau ar DMA. Taču tas jūs nepasargā no šī joka atkārtošanās. Un vienīgais MS risinājums ir rediģēt reģistru, lai kļūdu uzkrāšanas vietā tiktu skaitītas tikai secīgās kļūdas, kas samazina iespējamību tikt atmestam atpakaļ uz PIO, tomēr tas nav īsts risinājums, jo tas vienalga var notikt. Šī problēma skar Win2k/XP/2k3, par Vistu nezinu.
