It always blows my mind that the CCC manages to host these huge events without being raided by police on a daily basis for massive copyright infringement on their public 10GE+ net. https://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/wiki/FTP https://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/wiki/FTP
They even provided rack space for the file servers last time I visited.
How is this handled at large US based hacker conventions?
- q3k 11y agoI don't think any other organization apart from CCC is able to provide conference attendees with such a large-scale infrastructure (30C3 had a >100GbE uplink, and every year there is a public /16 netblock for LAN clients)...
- justthistime_ 11y agoGiven the amount of weed consumed, I think the copyright infringements would be the smallest of their issues. :-)
- r0naa 11y agoMy thoughts exactly d:-)
- fs111 11y agoThe NOC review talks always mention the amount of abuse mail they receive. It is typically very little.
- an_ko 11y agoMaybe it works for the CCC because in Germany raiding an event held by an organisation so famous for free speech activism would easily turn into a PR disaster? This is not a common theme in the rest of the EU. For example, Assembly Computer Festival in Helsinki, while more of a demo/game event, “deals harshly” with it. http://www.assembly.org/manual/rules-etiquette/ http://www.assembly.org/manual/rules-etiquette/
- justthistime_ 11y agoAbsolutely. I think persons in charge will think at least twice before raiding an event organized by the people writing opinions for the Federal Court of Justice.
- Tomte 11y agoSay again? They are writing expert's statements, but certainly not opinions of the court.
