Maintenance: events.ccc.de

EN DE

Some of you might have noticed the downtime of events.ccc.de during 30C3. Problems where based on multiple circumstances: On the one hand, we provided a lot more effort to features within the wiki. On the other hand, we postponed the necessary serverupgrade a bit too long. We already rented a new system some month before the congress started, but did not find the time to move all pages over to it.

As the wiki broke down the pages were moved to the new server during the congress to get the wiki available on the last day. As this has been just a quick copy action, we actually did not have any …

13./14.09.14: Datenspuren 2014: Überwacht und zugenäht – reboot the nets!

DE

Das Internet hat sich gewandelt. Edward Snowden lieferte die Beweise dafür, dass sich Geheimdienste in aller Welt weit mehr für unsere Daten interessieren als wir uns je vorstellen konnten. Die prägendste technologische Errungenschaft unserer Zeit ist nicht länger nur ein friedliches Werkzeug zum Teilen von Wissen, zur Zusammenarbeit und zum Knüpfen sozialer Netze, sondern auch eine von vielen Waffen im „Krieg gegen den Terror“. Großflächig werden anfallenden Daten gespeichert und ausgewertet. Jeder Mensch wird anlasslos überwacht, ohne sich dagegen wehren zu können. Nicht einmal unsere …

Von Patent-Trollen und indischem Reis

Von Patent-Trollen und indischem Reis

DE

Mit Patenten verbindet man gemeinhin die Namen bedeutender Erfinder wie Thomas Alva Edison oder Alexander Bell. So ging es auch Filmemacherin Hannah Leonie Prinzler. In ihrem Dokumentarfilm The Patent Wars will sie das Patentwesen genauer erforschen und stößt auf eine bizarre Parallelwelt, in der vor allem die Gesetze des gefürchteten “Marktes” gelten.

Ausgangspunkt ist die Frage, warum Teile unserer Gene patentiert werden können. Mit ihrer Kamera macht sich Prinzler auf in die vermeintliche Papierwüste verschiedener nationaler Patentsysteme und begibt sich auf eine Reise um die halbe Welt, um …
