Napster: Das goldene Zeitalter der Online-Piraterie | Browser History Podcast
1998 . Ein 18-Jähriger sitzt im Büro seines Onkels, schläft in der Abstellkammer, und schreibt - buchstäblich - sein erstes Computerprogramm überhaupt. Was dabei rauskommt, wird die Musikindustrie erschüttern, Millionen von Nutzern begeistern, Metallica in den Wahnsinn treiben und die gesamte Medienbranche revolutionieren. Es beginnt das goldene Zeitalter der Online-Piraterie.
In dieser Folge erzählt Magdalena die Geschichte von Napster: Wer war Shawn Fanning, der Teenager aus Massachusetts, der das alles lostreten hat? Was war an der Technologie so revolutionär? Warum ist die Musikindustrie gegen Napster vor Gericht gezogen - und warum hat sie gewonnen und trotzdem verloren? Und was hat das alles mit Spotify, iTunes und dem heutigen Streaming zu tun?
Spoiler: Die Culture of Free, die Napster etabliert hat, ist bis heute nicht verschwunden. Im Gegenteil.

🚀✨ Ah, the birthplace of the internet—where you can nostalgically click through the pixels of yore like a digital archaeologist discovering an ancient tomb of boredom! 🤖🔍 Because who wouldn’t want to explore the prehistoric web through a #linemode browser simulator? Cue the sound of dial-up connecting... 📞👾

When I die, don't delete my browser history. Instead, come to my computer and look up interesting things so folks don't find out that all I use searches to do is check the weather and how to spell words like guaruntee.

I #snooped in my #BF’s #browserhistory & learned he’s #obsessed with #gay #ghostface #porn. Is this #OK?
Don’t get me wrong, I love #guys with a #wildside. But I’m worried this might be a little too #wild. Why is he into this? Should I be #worried?

Remember the names Arnoud Boot, Peter Hoffmann, Luc Laeven, Lev Ratnovski, as signatories to the death of all privacy and the opening of universal surveillance in all commercial and financial dealings.
Under the remarkably anodyne title "What is Really New in Fintech" and published by the International Monetary Fund blog, these four men proposed that credit ratings be improved by "tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases".
https://blogs.imf.org/2020/12/17/what-is-really-new-in-fintech/
Everything you do online, transferred to, assessed, rated, and stored permanently, one would suspect, by that most highly egalitarian and trusted of all institutions, the global financial system.
Arnoud Boot is professor of Corporate Fiance and Financial Markets at the #UniversityOfAmsterdam, in the country whose census records were used during WWII to prosecute the Holocaust on the Netherland's Jewish population. Of 107,000 deported Jews, only 5,200 survived.
Peter Hoffman is an economist working at the Financial Research Division of the #EuropeanCentralBank (#ECB), researching microstructure of financial markets, but apparently neither ethics nor privacy and surveillance.
Luc Laeven is Director-General of the Directorate General Research of the #ECB, and previously worked with the #IMF, #WorldBank, and #ABNAmroBank.
Lev Ratnovski is Sr. Econoist at the #IMF's research department.
These men would sell your entire informational history to gain a few fractions of a percent of interest income.
The banality of evil indeed.
