Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.
In addition, the DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet.[1][2] Passed on October 12, 1998, by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998, the DMCA amended Title 17 of the United States Code to extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the liability of the providers of online services for copyright infringement by their users. Provisions[edit] Title IV: Miscellaneous Provisions[edit] Computação distribuída. Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. A computação distribuída, ou sistema distribuído, é uma referência à computação paralela e descentralizada, realizada por dois ou mais computadores conectados através de uma rede, cujo objetivo é concluir uma tarefa em comum.
Definição[editar | editar código-fonte] Um sistema distribuído segundo a definição de Andrew Tanenbaum é uma "coleção de computadores independentes que se apresenta ao usuário como um sistema único e consistente"1 ; outra definição, de George Coulouris, diz: "coleção de computadores autônomos interligados através de uma rede de computadores e equipados com software que permita o compartilhamento dos recursos do sistema: hardware, software e dados"[carece de fontes]. Assim, a computação distribuída consiste em adicionar o poder computacional de diversos computadores interligados por uma rede de computadores. Organização[editar | editar código-fonte] Organizar a interação entre cada computador é primordial.

Wikileaks has obtained the document. The agreement covers the copying of information or ideas in a wide variety of contexts.

Surveillance Reform for a Digital Age In 2000, Parliament enacted the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) 2000. At the time, it was acclaimed by government ministers as human rights compliant, forward-looking legislation. Since its inception, there have been close to three million decisions taken by public bodies under RIPA. Surveillance is a necessary activity in the fight against serious crime. It is a vital part of our national security. It has saved countless lives and helped convict hundreds of thousands of criminals.
Unnecessary and excessive surveillance, however, destroys our privacy and blights our freedoms. RIPA has not only failed to check a great deal of plainly excessive surveillance by public bodies over the last decade but, in many cases, inadvertently encouraged it.
