Seems like only yesterday the US vilified China for demanding Google turn over users' private data. #twitter #wikileaks http://is.gd/kkXL6

For all these people that were asking: this kind of thing is why people run their own mail servers. Get it now?

SoundCloud: The New Content Identification System

"Starting in the last few weeks we’ve turned on an automatic content identification system, similar to those used on other major media sharing sites. The system is used primarily for identifying audio that rightsholders have requested to be taken off SoundCloud. This is good news because it makes it easier for artists, labels and other content owners to control how the content they’ve created is available. And when you upload your own audio to SoundCloud, we can find out more quickly if somebody is uploading a copy to their own page without your permission.
For the vast majority of SoundCloud users, there won’t be any changes. You can keep on creating, recording and uploading original content (and any audio that you have the rights to upload) without any interruption. But we’ve already received some questions about this, so we wanted to give everyone the heads up.
In cases where users upload audio that is owned by rightsholders who have requested a takedown, we are hiding the upload entirely and sending an e-mail to explain the situation and give the user options for next steps. If you receive one of these e-mails and feel that the upload was flagged in error, because you actually have permission to upload the audio, there’s a simple dispute process. We’ll review the dispute, unhide the upload, and it will appear in your profile again with all stats and comments intact."

Germans back in for Babel

Skysports.com understands Hoffenheim are trying to lure Ryan Babel away from Liverpool.
The Bundesliga side have held a long-term interest in Babel and have made moves to sign the Dutchman in the last two transfer windows.
Babel's future at Liverpool has again been the subject of conjecture with the 24-year-old failing to establish himself in Roy Hodgson's plans.
The former Ajax man has made just one Premier League start this season and Liverpool are thought to be open to offers for Babel.
Birmingham are also keen on Babel and are believed to have had a loan bid rejected for the forward.
Hoffenheim are thought to be ready to make a bid to sign Babel on a permanent basis as doubts surround the future of Demba Ba.
Any move for Babel depends on Liverpool being able to bring in a replacement as Hodgson does not want to leave himself short of options with the under-fire Reds boss already lacking strength in-depth in attack.
