Sony Demands Press Destroy Leaked Documents – Slashdot

In an effort that may run afoul of the first amendment, Sony, through their lawyer David Boies (of SCO infamy), has sent a letter to major news organizations demanding that they refrain from downloading any leaked documents, and destroy those already possessed. Sony threatens legal action to news organizations that do not comply, saying that “Sony Pictures Entertainment will have no choice but to hold you responsible for any damage or loss arising from such use or dissemination by you.”

Sony Planned to Flood Torrent Sites With “Promo” Torrents

Sony Pictures’ TV network AXN developed a guerrilla marketing campaign to convert users of The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and other torrent sites to paying customers. The company planned to flood torrent sites with promos for the premiere Hannibal disguised as pirated copies of the popular TV-show.

The revelations are part of the Sony Pictures leaks which contain a discussion on the plan, framing it as a “brilliant anti­piracy social campaign.” The AXN employee describes the idea as follows.

“The idea is simple. We made a promo dedicated to Hannibal which is convincing people in very creative and no­invasive way to watch Hannibal legally on AXN instead downloading it from torrents.

“[T]his promo is supposed to be downloaded on the torrents sites, imitating the first episode of Hannibal season 2 but in reality would be only a 60 sec promo. The torrents sites are exactly the place where people just after [the] US premier would be searching for the first episode of season 2. So the success of this project is more than 100% sure.”

Unfortunately for the AXN Central Europe team the advertising campaign wasn’t well received at Sony Pictures’ headquarters in Los Angeles.

Sony Pictures Executive Vice President, who emphasized that it was a no go.

“Forget about a site blocking strategy if we start putting legitimate PSAs or promos on sites we’ve flagged to governments as having no legitimate purpose other than theft… PSAs being for public good, etc…”*

And so it never happened…

Ars Technica is the latest site to fall victim to hack | The Verge

There has been a lot of hacking news in the past few weeks, and now noted technology news site Ars Technica has fallen victim to a hack. The site’s front page has gone black, with white text reading “Ars Security” alongside a couple of Twitter handles, presumably of those who have taken control of the site. There’s also some music playing to keep you occupied while waiting for the site to come back online.

The issue doesn’t appear to be completely widespread, as some Verge staffers located in different points around the globe aren’t currently having issues connecting to the site. Ars itself is also aware of the hack; the site’s Twitter account indicates they should be back online soon.

NBC to Live Stream Network Shows – WSJ

NBC is launching a live stream of its broadcast network, part of a broader effort at parent NBCUniversal to make more of its content available online via computers and mobile devices.

Instead, to access NBC’s live stream as well as additional content the company plans to offer via an on-demand platform, consumers will have to provide proof that they already have a pay-TV subscription.

NBC’s live stream will debut Tuesday online, and mobile platforms will be available early next year. Walt Disney Co.’s ABC launched a live stream of its network last year.

Separately, NBCUniversal is also going to start making content from its Bravo and Telemundo networks available through Microsoft Corp. ’s Xbox One game console. USA and Syfy already have deals with Xbox One.

We review the hot new gaming on-demand streaming service, OnLive! Find out how well it plays on low-end and high-end systems, low bandwidth and high bandwidth and what the game selection is like.

Plus – We question if Take-Two Interactive, (the publisher of popular games series such as, BioShock, Civilization Grand Theft Auto, MLB/NBA/NHL 2k and many more games) can really produce a entirely new IP every single year.

Then we tell you why we are so excited about Deathspank, and share our thoughts on Hulu coming to the PS3 & Xbox 360.

More Info about OnLive:

OnLive is a new gaming service with a unique proposition: instead of downloading and running games traditionally on your computer, you run the games on their remote data centers and they stream the audiovisual output to your computer.

Games are stored on the OnLive service, and streamed to you when you want them.

In our testing, you’ll need at least a steady 700k/sec (about 5.5 megabits) down to get 720p output.
