Wired met en avant 10 brevets qui pourraient étouffer l’innovation dans le secteur de l’#impression 3D, empêchant de faire de l’impression colorée, lisse, fine... voir même des pièces articulées. Formlabs, l’un des acteurs du domaine vient d’être poursuivit en justice par 3D systems pour infraction de brevets...

Clean IT – Leak shows plans for large-scale, undemocratic surveillance of all communications | EDRI

A leaked document from the #CleanIT project shows just how far internal discussions in that initiative have drifted away from its publicly stated aims, as well as the most fundamental legal rules that underpin European democracy and the rule of law.

Israel’s Biometric Database Deemed “Harmful” by High Court Justices | Electronic Frontier Foundation
►https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/07/israels-biometric-database-deemed-harmful-high-court-justices
In Israel, a heated debate is underway about whether Israel’s Interior Ministry will move ahead with the creation of a governmental biometric database containing digital fingerprints and facial photographs, which would be linked to “smart” national ID cards containing microchips. At the heart of the issue is a major concern about privacy: Aggregated personal information invites security breaches, and large databases of biometric information can be honeypots of sensitive data vulnerable to exploitation.
These Drones Are Made For Watchin’

L’EFF lance une opération de documentation des drones de surveillance.
EFF recently received a trove of documents from the FAA in response to our Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, offering new insights into the public and private use of drones in the United States—including where they’re flying, why they’re being used, and what their capabilities are. These new documents include the never-before-released Special Airworthiness Certificates (SACs) from all private companies authorized to fly drones (list available here).
Here are a few things we’ve discovered so far in our review of the material.
(…)
The FAA documents we received mainly address saftey issues with drone flights, but there are still many unanswered questions about the privacy implications of drones. EFF is asking the Internet community to help us push for more transparency around the use of drones for domestic surveillance.
C’est la suite de l’appel à documentation de l’utilisation des drones pour la surveillance privée et publique aux US, lancé conjointement par l’EFF et Muckrock, début juillet.
EFF and MuckRock Partner Up to See How Your Local Police Are Using Drones
►https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/07/eff-and-muckrock-partner-see-how-your-local-police-are-using-drones
EFF is proud to announce that MuckRock, an open government organization dedicated to helping people send requests for public records, is joining our campaign to find out what local police agencies are doing with drones — and how we can stop their use for surveillance. We are sending out public records requests to every local law enforcement agency with a drone authorization from the FAA. In addition, MuckRock is offering their tools and inviting users to help write their own public records requests to police agencies in their town.

However, nothing in these acts authorizes computer searches. Recently, the Israeli Justice office proposed a new anti-terror bill, which is yet to pass through the legislative process. This Anti-Terror bill does request to correct the current General Security Service act to specifically state that computers may be searched.

Why the Patent System Doesn’t Play Well with Software : If Eolas Went the Other Way | Electronic Frontier Foundation
►https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/02/why-patent-system-doesnt-play
Argumentaire détaillé contre les #brevets #logiciels, où l’on voit quand même que sur un brevet aussi ridicule qu’Eolas, les #patent_trolls ont engrangé plein de $
it seems we’ve had a moment of sanity in the patent wars. Last week, a jury invalidated the dangerous Eolas patents, which their owner claimed covered, well, essentially the whole Internet. (...) The bad news: it came after the patents already caused plenty of damage. Companies large and small have taken licenses from Eolas rather than pay millions to fight in court.
Now #drones are also being used domestically for non-military purposes, raising significant privacy concerns. For example, this past December, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) purchased its ninth drone. It uses these drones inside the United States to patrol the U.S. borders—which most would argue is within its agency mandate—but it also uses them to aid state and local police for routine law enforcement purposes. In fact, the Los Angeles Times reported in December that CBP used one of its Predators to roust out cattle rustlers in North Dakota. The Times quoted local police as saying they “have used two unarmed Predators based at Grand Forks Air Force Base to fly at least two dozen surveillance flights since June.” State and local police are also using their own drones for routine law enforcement activities from catching drug dealers to finding missing persons. Some within law enforcement have even proposed using drones to record traffic violations.
