  Blockchain Startup White Rabbit Calls on Pirate Sites to Do Business, Legally
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  There's a general belief that many pirates would be happy to pay for content if it was presented in a convenient manner. So what if people could reward creators automatically when downloading content from pirate sites? That's what blockchain startup White Rabbit is proposing with its browser-based plugin. It's an intriguing but incredibly complex proposition

  Is Your Kodi Setup Being Spied On?
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Large numbers of people are running Kodi with a poorly-protected remote access interface, which enables third-parties to view their addons and other sensitive information. In some cases, people's private videos are also vulnerable to being viewed remotely by anyone with a browser. Worst still, attackers can change Kodi users' settings, which can cause chaos to the unexpecting.

  Massive Site-Blocking Measures Countered By 100K Browser Addon Users
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  Two years ago, Portugal introduced a pioneering and voluntary site-blocking regime, with zero court orders needed. With almost 1,400 sites now on the list, TF spoke with Revolução dos Bytes (Bytes’ Revolution), a group that maintains a directory of blocked domains and bypasses every one of them, thanks to their own browser extension powered by 100,000 anti-censorship citizens.

  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Breaking DRM or ripping Blu-Rays discs is a crime In the United States. While there are fair use exemptions, these don't apply to the public at large. Interestingly, filmmakers themselves are now urging the Copyright Office to lift some of the current restrictions, so that they can make the films they want.
