Adobe uses copyfraud to preserve spyware

The death of Adobe Flash in January 2021 was long overdue; Adobe’s hyper-proprietary interactive runtime was a source of persistent, terrifying security vulnerabilities that had harmed web users for decades.

But the demise of Flash also meant that all the Flash-based media that had been created since its debut (as 1995’s “Futuresplash”) was snuffed out, orphaned, unplayable and lost to history.

Adobe may have skimped on security, but it spent lavishly on sales and marketing, so major media and public organizations locked up years and years of media and interactives in the Flash abandonware format.

All that meant that the reports of Flash’s death were greatly exaggerated. Adobe quietly kept the Flash player on life-support with an “enterprise” version for companies with unpayable, Flash-based technology debts.

And they licensed Flash Player to China’s Zhong Cheng Network, whose flash.cn site still offers Flash Player downloads. But that Flash Player comes bundled with commercial spyware and an Adobe-controlled killswitch that can remotely deactivate it.

That offered people who needed to view Flash videos or other media with a stark choice: if you didn’t work for an “enterprise,” you either accepted spyware and a killswitch, or you abandoned the media you needed to see.

Which is where Clean Flash Installer comes in. This is a free/open project maintained by a developer called “darktohka”: Clean Flash Installer was a way to install the Flash Player without the spyware or killswitch.

Darktohka told Torrent Freak that he created Clean Flash Installer as a passion project, to preserve the Flash media that was “a huge part of his childhood.”

https://torrentfreak.com/adobe-uses-dmca-to-nuke-project-that-keeps-flash-alive-secure-adware-free-211012/

Darktohka built Clean Flash Installer from scratch in .Net; it contains no Adobe code and no code from Zhong Cheng Network — Clean Flash Installer is Darktohka’s code and his alone, hosted on Github for all to inspect, use and improve.

Or rather, it was hosted on Github — until earlier this month, when Adobe sent a fraudulent DMCA Copyright Takedown notice to the company, falsely claiming that darktohka’s code infringed on their copyright.

https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2021/10/2021-10-04-adobe.md

This is pure copyfraud: Adobe didn’t write Clean Flash Installer. Their notice to Github — “under penalty of perjury” — that Clean Flash Installer violated their rights is an outright, unambiguous lie.

Adobe would prefer that its business arrangements with Zhong Cheng Network remain intact and that every non-enterprise Flash user would have to run its partner’s spyware and tolerate Adobe’s killswitch.

It’s doubtless more lucrative for Adobe that way — what company doesn’t dream of compelling its customers to arrange their affairs to benefit its shareholders, even if that is to their detriment?

Often, awful laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be used this way, twisted into a kind of “Felony Contempt of Business Model” (as Jay Freeman calls it).

But not this time. Adobe has no right to block Clean Flash Installer — but they didn’t let that stop them.

‘Bending gender stereotypes in art and photography can throw new light on stale norms’

‘Bending gender stereotypes in art and photography can throw new light on stale norms’

Amid the pandemic, the famed Kala Ghoda Arts Festival went digital to host a workshop to educate people on the use of art and photography to subvert gender stereotypes. Jointly organised by the Consulate General of Sweden, Red Dot Foundation, Swedish Institute and Genusfotografen, the workshop witnessed virtual participation from over 70 people. While we continue to raise our voices and challenge…

Stort tack @genusfotografen för att du bidrar till att bredda bilden av människan. Varför har jag inte sett detta förut? Ge mig mer normkritiska bilder och mindre sexistiskt trams som inte bidrar med något. Det här är bara underbart och befriande, att låta alla människor synas som de människor är❤️ #genus #genusfotografen #normkritik #hbtq #mänskligheten #vackramänniskor

You think that American Apparel is sexistic? Wait until you've read this story (It's in Swedish but use google translate, It's worth the time). Never ever will i place my foot inside their doors.

Vet inte om någon här minns det (jag mindes det knappt själv), men jag mailade ju Salong Bangs för ett tag sen ang deras hemska bild på deras header (kan ses om du scrollar ner en bra bit här -> http://www.genusfotografen.se/?p=4794). OCH VET NI? DEN ÄR BORTA! Tvivlar på att jag är ensam om att ha kontaktat dem MEN frisören som var på bilden skrev nästan ordagrant i sin ursäkt på instagram vad som stått i mitt mail (ursäkten ->http://www.genusfotografen.se/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Bangs-pudel2.png). Känner mig ganska så väldigt jättestol över att ha gjort skillnad! Wiiiiiiiiiii

Idag kom våren.

Bra dag. Bästa Genusfotografen kom och föreläste för klassen (undrar vem som anordnade det med tanke på hur genusintresserad rektorn vanligtvis brukar vara... alltså verkligen zero).

Och sen ba GNISTRADE solen. Så vi gick på promenad och var allmänt kära. :)

Joy of SPRING (hehe)

Hunkig kille på bänk in blacknwhiteee...

... åsså en arty tjej med ny kappa (traderafynd som får mig att lite se ut som döden/valfri trollkarl som gillar svartkonster men det känns ok ändå). ♡♡♡♡

Vita familjer åker inte buss. Så är det bara.

“... representerar fler Gävlebor” Utomnordiska är alltså fler i Gävle redan...?

Fy fan för att se vita familjer åka buss när deras Volvo står hemma och tar plats på uppfarten ... elda upp den!

Jag röstade på American Apparel. Dom är en av dom anledningarna till förfalskade, hemska kvinnosyner hos både unga tjejer och killar. Att låta tonårstjejer rulla runt halvnakna och samtidigt se sockersöta ut får mig att må illa. Usch fy

Dessutom så har American Apparel som motto att inga "tjocka" människor får ha på sig deras kläder. På  så sätt ser dom till att tjejer och killar som är bredare byggda får en dålig syn på normala kroppar. Way to go... not.

I've wanted to link to my new favourite blog (genusfotografen) for a while now, but it's in swedish so it wouldn't be much point to it. But the blogger linked to an article in english in his last post, so have a look at that if you like. It's about a recent post on the blog about danish "fishing girls" in a magazine... quite disturbing fish porn really. There are photos in the article. Be warned. Be really warned.

Due to a super shitty flaw in swedish law the photos has had to be removed from the original post (http://www.genusfotografen.se/?p=2705), but they are linked and google translate promises extra funny reading if you wanna give it a go (it's in swedish not danish, the article liiieeessssss). It's a very funny and interesting blog about gender in photography and I wish I could magically transform it into witty english for you all.

Oh right, the shitty law. You know the fair use law in america? That you can use stuff for criticizing and things? You can do that in sweden too. But NOT IN DIGITAL FORM. SHITTY I SAY! Looks like it may be changing soon partly due to this, there's been a suggestion at least. The blogger has been billed by the fishing magazine btw. Same thing happened earlier. SHITTY LAW, I SAY.. again.

#genusfotografen #gender #gender photography #seriously it's a great blog #the list of worst ads had me laughing ad wincing through all of it #also it makes you unable to just look at any form of ads without thinking about these things #yeey #no it is a good thing of course
