Hi,

The real spammers we refer to are actually companies like mediasentry and webshe
rriff that besides knowing better keep harassing us and tons of other isps by au
tomatically sending email (lots of it too ;)
trying megavideo and the other streaming sites, indeed makes hell a lot more sen
se, as that's where the streams come from in the end,
most of our clients in this field simply link there, and most of the video-strea
m hosters actually DO comply with the dmca and dmca-like regulations.
The annoying thing is companies like disney inc (most recently ;) trying to forc
e us to cut off the piratebay (by trying to punch holes and undermining provider
immunity), dispite the fact that the piratebay itself does not "distribute" any
thing, it merely connects people that want to exchange files, regardless of whic
h kind of file, in the end it's the end users that publish content.
I can see you went for the conventional model of DVD distribution, however, cons
idering the profit margin on that, why not just sell your movie online on your o
wn website in the 50 cent-2 euro price range, surely the profit margin on that i
s a LOT higher than having the entire distribution chain of distributors, truck
drivers, shops, etc taking the profits away, and the market is global.
If you simply make it possible to download your movie from your website, maybe t
he itunes store, or amazon (i think they do that too), nobody in his right mind
would go for a crappy flash based stuttering low-resolution watch-movies-online
kinda thing if they can have a fast download of the full HD version, without hav
ing to spend hours in going to a shop, parkign the car, buying a dvd (if its in
stock), going home, putting the thing in the player, etc (its a lot more work ;)
.
In our years of conducting business online (we used to do mass domain registrati
on and mass shared webhosting, nowadays that would be called cloud computing), w
e found that people will gladly become your customer if you simply make it EASY
enough for them to register and pay online with instant delivery of the services
, I guess the same goes for music and movies as otherwise the itunes store would
not be there ;)
We actually wrote something very simular to the itunes store. way before they (a
pple inc) did (1998-1999) which now is at www.huge.nl, it's dysfunctional becaus
e its ugly and the payment processors aren't linked anymore, but something like
that could well become a central spill in the distribution of movies and music (
or maybe we can keep the itunes store around once they learn to make it possible
for ANYONE to sell their products there, not just their RIAA friends ;)
Now, primary problem I see with movie sites is that they don't have a license (t
he ones that actually distribute the content that is).
This is due to the berne convention, which was pushed by the recording and print
ing industry of it's days (1933).
GEMA, BUMA, STEMRA, etc are all in existance today because back in 1933 it was a
pretty good idea to have the "rights' managed by an organisation -per country-
(after all, back in 1933 you still had several fairly small markets, its not lik
e you had 5 billion books printed in korea and then shipped to your customers, t
here was no internet, satellite tv wasn't invented yet, etc)
The result of this is that disney could not give a license to a movie site to pu
t disney movies in full hd/3d for a global audience (worldwide distribution) if
they wanted to (which, they btw, do not, otherwise they would not be trying to s
ue US for routing the piratebay all the time ;)
But then again, they have been part of the 'usual suspects' that kept lobbying f
or such regulations that now (also) get in their own way, deratifying treaties i
sn't quite so easy as creating them ;)
This is also a reason why southpark, for example, doesn't make their episodes av
ailable on one central worldwide site anymore, but rather has sites per country
now, eventhough it's their -own- created content.
(southpark studios also just includes the advertisements themselves and makes th
eir streams high quality, as opposed to third party streaming sites which usuall
y are captured from tv airings)
I'm quite sure you'll still earn your investment back on the DVDs as a lot of pe
ople (still) buy those, and TV stations are (still) around and still get paid to
put 'something" between advertisements (which in the end makes the cash, also o
nline, in most cases, except for direct sales).
Now as far as I understand, these movie sites, get paid by their advertisers, de
pending on how popular their site is in the "alexa ratings". Why don't you just
set up your own movie site, together with some colleguas, that does exactly the
same, watch the movie in low-res streaming with advertisements for free, or down
load it in full-hd and pay for it, I bet a lot of those movie link sites like th
e one you were complaining about would simply link to your site and therefore al
so generate advertisement income for you.
I cannot interfere in what my customers do, If some guy just buys your DVD and c
opies it and ships it with deutsche post, you can't expect the mailman to open t
he package, see whats inside, refuse to deliver from or to specific addresses, e
tc, the same applies to data and telecommunications (and that's a good thing or
we'd have EVERYONE who could possibly have a problem with something at our door
every second ;)
I cannot force him to remove it (which this specific customer probably won't do
anyway, but the streaming video providers he links to may do it if you ask -them
-)
We just deliver traffic, indistriminately of what it carries, even if we know wh
at it carries, we are protected from liability, even if what it carries is SEVER
ELY criminal (there are a lot things worse than copyright violations ;) and that
's a good thing, not just for us, but for everyone
Your movie (i've watched the trailer) i'm suer would raise some eyebrows in most
islamic countries for example, you don't want your isp to remove it because the
y could possibly have objections to it :P
Why don't you get some of your colleguas together and set up a central distribut
ion company for independant movie productions, which doesn't 'enforce copyright'
but rather just makes it easy to obtain high-quality copies at a reasonable pri
ce and low-quality streaming with advertisement income, so a lot of it is on one
central, easy to find, well promoted, website, online ordering of an actual DVD
/blue ray disk should be possible too ofcourse.
There are several more issues with copyright as a concept, one of them being the
fact that i already managed to have my 386 "compose" all musical patterns (shee
t music) in digital form back in 1996 up to 30 seconds in lenght (the requiremen
t for copyright), and i mean -all- of the possible combinations of musical notes
in any order ;)
Technically, that means i could sue each and everyone of those artists and their
labels out there not to release any bit of music anymore as i own the rights to
-everything- already, as it will always contain a sequence out of my billions o
f composed patterns, no matter what they compose ;)
now that was in 1996... computers are at least 1000 times faster and bigger now,
and we own quite a few of them, i'm quite sure we could do the same for let's s
ay all english words in any possible combination (copyrighting all possible book
texts before anyone else gets the chance) etc.
they could claim it's not a "work of art", which is a requirement for copyright,
but then again, they compose using computers themselves, it's all just a matter
of interpretation of how many manual interventions one makes in the process ;)
I don't consider copying "theft" either, as nothing really gets stolen, and it's
all rather vague.. it's all common knowledge...
now breaking into someone's house or his computer, stealing his data and making
it public, ofcourse is theft
breaking into a factory, stealing the plans for their next model car, is theft,
breaking into a bunker, stealing the nuclear launch codes, is theft (not to ment
ion espionage ;)
making something which is already public knowledge more poblic, isn't theft at a
ll.
Me, using copyright to stop all artists from composing any music because my comp
uter (or me) "did it first" WOULD however be 'theft', but it would be 100% legal
for me to enforce that by the exact same law they promote.
(germany itself for example uses copyright to -prevent- distribution of mein kam
pf, despite not having the intention of distributing it itself).
So no, I don't see any future whatsoever in copyright, you can probably still ge
t away with the old business model of selling dvds for the next few years, you'l
l definately make your investment back, one way or the other, but don't expect t
hat all to still work in let's say 10 years from now.
When i started working in the internet industry at xs4all, they actually never g
ave people contracts that lasted longer than 3 months because they weren't sure
the internet, as an industry would survive that long, now, xs4all ofcourse is on
e of the biggest dutch ISPs out there, I'd say "easy money", including copyright
, should always be treated that way... don't expect it to work/bring profits 3 m
onths from now even if it does now, always cover your ass, just as with any othe
r investment...
Now for companies like disney, there actually is no excuse ;)
they should simply give people a disney tv with a disney-disc player that only p
lays disney movies and doesn't connect to anything else and can't be filmed with
conventional cameras (refreshing the screen the other way around, bottom to top
, already solves that ;) and call it a day :P
see, your camera would not work in a cinema, if the screen refresh of the cinema
would work significantly different than the way your camera ccd/vidicon scans i
t's image. it would have black bars all over the image all the time, or even jus
t random dots instead of an image, and as long as your hardware doesn't have any
standardised output, good luck on simply connecting it to a vcr or digitizer ;)
Disney however, despite having the cash and resources, would rather wait for oth
er people to distribute their movies for them, and then sue them or third partie
s afterwards :P instead of actually taking steps to protect their content, in wh
ich they claim to take so much interest :P
(which is why we put a bunch of attorneys on disney, as they were becoming a bit
too much of a pain in the ass, and them trying to undermine european commission
desicisions that protect providers from having to commit censorship is complete
ly inacceptable ;)
Now as with making your investment back, i'm can't help you with that, should yo
u decide to do the video streaming/download thingy yourself or with some friends
, we do offer guaranteed port-speed (100/1000base) dedicated servers, and i'm qu
ite sure that we can find one of our companies to provide management services an
d software-development services with that (although cb3rob ltd. & co. kg just of
fers the actual internet capacity and the hardware ;)... however, we own quite a
bit more companies in the consulting, hardware and software development field a
nd research field that can supply "what goes on the server" and manage the thing
s for you, google is expected to make the vp8 video codec open source in the com
ing weeks, which should work hell a lot better than that flash crap too, and wil
l be supported by all html5 browsers (also all browsers, without plugins ;)
the fact that we don't run the sites for customers doesn't mean we can't ;), we
have some quite capable people around that can put this together in no time... (
the cyberbunker group actually exists of 20 or so active companies registered ar
ound the world, most of them in the isp/telco and research and development field
s, it's pretty much more of a cult than they are normal companies ;)
(once again, we were around before google and we've seen it all ;)
(And despite disneys efforts, we will be around long after disney has evaporated
into oblivion ;)

I -wrote- audio and video streaming protocols long before most of those moviesit
e kiddies knew what a computer was haha :P
(now besides accidentially having the odd patent here and there and copyright o
n a lot of program code, most of which is internal-use only and therefore not op
en source ;) as well as -all- possible musical patterns, we never make claims t
o any 'intellectual property' simply because we don't
believe its a wise thing to do, it's better if people take your ideas after
you show them that it works and can be done and improve on it)
there even are some people running away with our "trademarks"
I found a "cyberbunker ltd." as a registrant to ip space that has nothing to do
with us for example, there is a cyberbunker.com.au somewhere in australia runnin
g an internet cafe and a golf course, etc, oh well, just let them, if that makes
them happy, who cares, people will know where to find the "real" one anyway :P
people always claim intellectual property laws would "promote" innovation...
question: where would the world be if motorized vehicles using 4 wheels were pat
ented and nobody else would be allowed to build simular products ;)
anyway, it's quite easy to keep control over what you've made if you really want
to and monetise on it by keeping control and limiting its distribution.
This is what software companies in the 80s did when it got 'really expensive' (n
ovell netware, autocad), you simply only make the software work with a specific
piece of hardware of which the inner workings are non disclosed plugged into the
printer port ;)
It doesn't matter if peope copy the software from their neighbor and can buy the
ir computers at every street corner, the software still won't work without your
custom hardware, which only you know how to build :P
it's even easier to just distribute it and monetise on it by means of built-in a
dvertisements, paid -easy, high quality, fast- downloads or other unique marketi
ng aspects other parties cannot offer (or not that easy anyway).
there are tons of companies in the world offering internet hosting, it's not abo
ut wether you ask 3 euros or 100 euros, its about how easy you make it to buy it
from -you- rather than your neighbor, that's what brings in the customers.
(we have btw left the mass hosting market, so the whole online registration and
payment stuff has been removed from our website, but the concept still applies e
qually well to any market).
and having to go outside, and buy a disk, and then take it out of the box, and p
ut it into some player (usually the computer anyway ;) just isn't the easiest wa
y for the user to obtain his entertainment, which, still, is compensated by the
higher quality, but that can't possibly take much longer anymore (users nowadays
have 50-100mbit at home, that is quite common in the netherlands and germany an
yway (vdsl, cable, fiber to the home (ftth)), so the quality aspect of dvds vs d
ownloads/online watching will soon disappear, the movie industry would better ad
just to that, as sueing isps will only lead to the isps sueing them back, and th
ats a fight the isps will win in the end, the same goes for lobbying, funding po
litical parties and politicians, etc :P
and no, we will not keep them artificially alive by stuff like "a tax for "cultu
re" on internet connections" as -they- choose to invest in movies, people have m
ade music and danced etc since the stoneage, we really don't need disney to prov
ide the world with "culture" :P
nobody asked them to invest millions into movies
If i invest millions into restoring an oldtimer car, and i drive it in the stree
t, and people take pictures of it, i can't charge them for my millions either, t
he same goes for movies, nobody asked them to make them, nor to make them public
, so they can't really complain if once they are public knowledge, people watch
them without paying back their investment.
nothing to do with your investment, i'm qutie sure you'll still make that back a
nd a profit on it too, with or without low-res video streams on the internet
oh btw, in case of european providers, don't even mention 'dmca' :P
the dmca is a strictly american thing that can, if the provider chooses to avoid
a court case, provide him with limited immunity (unlike european regulations) u
nder the safe harbor protection, which basically means: remove the content, and
let the customer protest against it ;)
which even if we were an american company, we would never do, but most american
companies don't have the balls to simply take that corrupt piece of shit through
the court process and win (maybe there is something severely wrong with the ame
rican court process in the first place ;)

anyway,
enough of that for now :P

Congratulations, You have made it past our spam filter, as this is your first em
ail to us ;)
Let us clarify things a bit:
Ok, first of all, we have nothing to do with this "novamov" other than them bein
g routed over our IP infrastructure (and then only their user-submitted links/pl
ayer page, not even the actual movie streams ;)
We have no idea wether OUR client actually is the operator of this website -at a
ll- or wether they are one of his clients.
The DMCA, as you may have figured out by now, is null and void, unless ofcourse
novamov would be in the USA, or we would be based in the USA and opting for the
DMCA's safe harbour protection, neither of which happens to be the case. (even i
f we WOULD be in the USA, we'd rather to to court the normal way than committing
censorship haha ;)
CB3ROB Ltd. & Co. KG provides network routing services to a global audience, fur
thermore, we rent out (unmanaged) servers (as in: the customer has the administr
ative control over them), colocation facilities in the Republic CyberBunker, etc
, it does not operate websites unless those websites explicitly state so.
CB3ROB Ltd. & Co. KG does not currently operate (commercial) infrastructure with
in Germany, but german law applies to our infrastructure and the services provid
ed TO our clients (albeit not the services provided BY our clients per-se) all o
ver the EU anyway.
furthermore,
It would be appeciated if "dmca spammers" as we call them would stop wasting our
time, trying to get us to get our customers to remove "their" crap, this is eur
ope, the dmca doesn't apply here, providers have immunity against liability for
ANY kind of content or actions taking place over their networks (if in doubt, go
ask the european commission ;)
Spamming and uttering frivolous legal threats however ARE crimes.
(and the laws of that retarded ex-colony cannot be enforced here, thank god ;)
i'd suggest your clients just fix their own business model and find a way to mak
e money on their productions which doesn't involve bugging everyone else to get
other people to remove stuff for them.
You, nor your clients, pay us for our time, and our time is worth more than lous
y entertainment anyway.
If the customer doesn't want to remove it, fine, then you can go and try to get
the customer to remove it by other means (or maybe you should just offer them a
license at a "fair competitive" price instead of favouring certain distributers
over others and thus breaking even more EU laws and regulations ?!)
Anyway, as far as we are concerned:
- We are protected by article 8 of the german telemediengesetz, as are our servi
ces to our clients, as we don't select addresses, interfere with what they do, o
r modify the transported data in any way (all criteria are met)
as far as the customer is concerned:
- Should the customer be in germany (which i can tell you is not the case with m
ost of them, including this one) the customer, provided that our customer is the
one running the website, would be covered by article 10 of the telemediengesetz
, which still doesn't make him liable for what HIS users do (once again, provide
d our customer is the one eventually operating this website), but would create p
rovisions for him to remove stuff.
Now as for "copyright"
- In pretty much all countries, including the USA (the retarded ex-colony referr
ed to above) copyright solely applies to the original work without any modificat
ions or additions, it literally says so in the US copyright act for example
furthermore, most "movies" we receive -threats- and -spam- about (I can't consid
er them as a "notification" as the DMCA doesn't apply would plainly be nothing m
ore than "derivative works" at most, as either some guy in a cinema sat there an
d filmed the thing (expecially the recent ones), actually granting HIM copyright
over HIS production (like taking a photo of your car), or are compressed media,
do therefore not resemble the original sound frequencies and colors, and any co
pyright is thereby void.
(breaking the terms of use of the cinema by using a camera in there ofcourse is
another case, but that's between the cinema and the guy doing it ;)
Threattening isps, and or trying to sue ISPs will only end you and your cleints
in the position where ISPs start to see your industry as "the enemy"
As there, indeed, is no absolute right to internet connectivity, and the ("corre
ct/unmodified") relaying of packets on the internet is based on common interest
and friendships between parties involved, rather than actual contracts (most pee
ring agreements are not even in legally valid form), guess what will happen to Y
OUR prospect of promoting your materials over the internet once most ISPs start
to realize that YOU ARE THE ENEMY.
(and no, computer crime laws do not protect you from ISPs simply not relaying yo
ur packets destined to "your" ips or sending them somewhere else, as WE own the
internet, all the wires and switches and routers.)
It technically is a privately owned infrastructure, so you all would better stay
friends with us and stop taking ISPs to court every time YOU fail to control "y
our" content, or sell licenses to interested parties.
Even if you WANT to keep "control" over distribution in the first place seing th
at selling a license to a tv station only ends up with the tv station putting CO
MMERCIALS in it which then make the money that pays for the license and the tv s
tation, why not put the commercials in it straight away and just distribute your
movies over the internet for free (have the actors drink some coca cola or some
thing..)
That's YOUR business model failing, not ours.
And we're not the party to fix that for you.
Although we shall drop you some hints in this email ;)
(as for the selling licenses and that nog being possible for a global market, wh
o pushed the berne convention again back in 1933? wasn't us..)
Now, as for the site you mentioned, they don't even host content over our networ
k, so i can't see where we come in ;)
furthermore, they have a perfectly well usable contact form on their website, if
email should not work..
Either way, we are not a party in this, we shall not relay your messages to them
(not if you would pay us for it) and we cannot legally, nor contractually, remo
ve or interfere with what they relay over our networks (end of story) as that WO
ULD actually make us liable (modifying the data would violate the conditions of
Art. 8 Telemediengesetz, hacking their servers would constitute computer crime).
Now, considering that WE are in a country (For that matter: all the EU) where IS
Ps for obvious reasons, just like the mailman, are not allowed to look into what
they transport and filter out your "mail" (transported data), and the fact that
you can't prove that our client is in a country where what he does happens to b
e illegal, nor that his users are for that matter, and after all, all this site
does is link to video streams that are 1) derivative works and 2) not even on ou
r network and 3) completely different companies..
So what's left is:
- Simular organisations like yours spam us (european law!)
- Simular organisations like yours utter frivolous legal threats (punishable by
5 years in german prison ;)
- Simular organisations like your clients engage in corruption, unfair competiti
on, kartell forming, etc
- libel against us and several of our clients
And most importantly:
- Simular organisations like yours try to infringe on OUR rights by wasting our
time (yes, immunity from liability also includes not having to waste my man hour
s or the ones of my attorneys on this without financial compensation, now where
do we send the bill for answering this email ? ;)
Should there be any further questions, I'm quite sure I can get our shiney attor
ney firm, to make things clear to you, like they are doing against some other mo
vie firms at this moment already (Don't you worry about that ;)
Anyway, you can't just go around expecting companies to clean up the mess for yo
u after you make something public and then no longer are able to control it's di
stribution, that's just a failure on YOUR end, you can't involve everyone else i
n fixing your crap.
If we (for example) want to keep something under control, we make sure it only w
orks with OUR hardware (for example), Blizzard entertainment makes sure it's gam
es, despite being distributed by means of the torrent protocol, only work with t
heir subscription service, etc.
now why oh why can't your clients get that done for their products...
(not to mention that for me as a former shareholder in several of those "movie c
ompanies' it would make far more sense to just throw the distribution out in the
open, get rid of the middle man (tv/radio stations/cinemas) and include the adv
ertising in the product, end result: more profit! it's 2010 people, deal with it
, copyright was invented to protect the investment in a book-printing-press in o
rder to enable people to publish their views on things, not to make everyone cha
se after "baddies" for you, and the distribution part can now be done for free,
no more printing-press needed.
You also cannot blame distribution sites, such as torrent and video websites for
doing what they do, as there are plenty of legal (and then i mean unquestionabl
y legal) uses for those, such as non-copyrighted movies, political campaigns, op
en source software distribution, home videos, etc, interfering with that by shut
ting these sites down would interfere with the right to freedom of expression, i
nterfere with political campaigns, human rights, etc, and in the end, yes, strik
e back at the copyright industry...
(You know, there is a reason why i sold my shares in these short-sighted compani
es that constantly attack my companies and the ones of friends and colleguas in
this industry, and I strongly urge every other shareholder
to do the same, until they adjust their course to something a bit more profitabl
e and wise in the long run, and making less enemies, all of which have absolute
control over the largest global distribution network for any kind of media, not
the kind of people you'd wanna pick a fight with ;)
I don't think it's very smart of you to make ISPs into your enemies, also becaus
e we can bribe politicians and insert "our own" too ;) that's not a privilege so
lely reserved for the copyright industry, furthermore, we, as an industry, simpl
y make more money than your industry does and therefore pays more taxes and has
more "bribing power" :P
You are infringing in the rights of european ISPs, and the european people, not
the other way around.
PS, If you happen to be an attorney, and you need a full time job (on the other
side of the perspective ;), we can give you one (You'd have to move to Berlin or
the Republic CyberBunker tho, as we intend to prosecute everyone that infringes
on OUR right to not being spammed or spread libel about, for which we shall set
up a new foundation within the coming months ;)
We would not have to interfere between customers and complainers if the customer
would be bin laden and the complainer would be the cia, so who do the copyright
-industry think they are they can try to harrass us into doing otherwise for the
m, if you have a problem with someone, fight it out with -them-, not with third
parties.
Maybe it's time for you and your organisation to "switch sides" :P
Come and work for us...
Furthermore, we, as a company, see no problems in finding technical solutions fo
r your clients little 'content control/licensing and billing' problem, although
the main objective nowadays is telecommuncations infrastructure, not hardware/so
ftware development or consulting, but we still have other firms for that in the
christmass-tree ;)
BTW,
I'm not personally pissed at -you- people, we have seen worse ;)
We were around before Google, we've seen all of it ;)

This is the one and only all-authorative answer from his royal highness the pric
e, you'll get regarding our corporate views on this matter,
If our customer or their customer or their user or whomever along the supply cha
in doesn't want to/doesn't have to remove something, then that's basically -thei
r- problem, we do not interfere... In fact, interfering in such matters WOULD ma
ke us liable or even be a criminal act (considering that the hardware in all cas
es either isn't ours or not under our legal control).
