WHO OWNS THE WEB?

SOPA and PIPA Acts down, but not out

Who is paving the information highway?

A N T ONIO L A M B Staff Writer

BOAZ ROSEN Opinions Editor

Last month, over 7 million Internet users took part in a massive online protest against two bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act, leading national lawmakers to postpone voting. SOPA and PIPA would have given U.S. law enforcement the authority to crack down on the trafficking of pirated games, music and software over the Internet. The bills would also have categorized unauthorized streaming and uploading of movies and music as criminal offences – with up to five-year prison terms.

When I look at the web today, I feel I am the last of a generation – a generation that grew up in a world where the Internet was not widely available. Watching videos, listening to music and chatting online seemed like things out of a science fiction novel. Nowadays, the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. The web is dominating all forms of media; long gone are the days where you turned to your 8:00 newscaster to receive your daily dose of local and global information. It is now all available at the press of a button. Or, if you have an iPhone 4S, just ask Siri. But beneath the exponentially growing layers of information online, the virtual world is rumbling: a dark and disconcerting rumble of war. It is not a war in your traditional sense of death and violence, but a war of control over media and data.

CONCERNS OVER NET NEUTRALITY

The laws were introduced to protect intellectual property rights for content creators who have seen their revenues decrease over the last few decades because of file sharing. But websites like Google and Craigslist expressed concern that if the laws passed, the U.S. government would essentially have the power to censor the Internet, stifle innovation and end net neutrality. The fear was that SOPA and PIPA would have set a precedent

T H E P L AY E R S

The proponents of this virtual confl ict can be summed up into a few general players. They are the old media moguls such as Hollywood, Time Warner and people like Rupert Murdoch (owner of NICHOLAS SMITH / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

for the U.S. government to regulate and control online traffic. Such a practice, though much more extreme elsewhere, is already established in countries such as China and Iran, where Internet users are required to register identifiable information such as an ID and physical addresses in order to write comments on websites, post blogs and even upload videos. “One of the most disturbing facts about these laws is that they were almost passed by politicians who really don’t understand the intricacies of the Internet,” said Marcus Wallace, a sophomore at UH Mānoa majoring in Chinese. “It would have created very strict regulations on sites that we use every day, from Facebook to YouTube. … But what’s even scarier is the chilling effect [SOPA and

PIPA] would have for both service providers and users. We wouldn’t be able to create or share any type of media that had copyrighted material. Most upload sites like YouTube would be gone, since [online companies and service providers] would be held accountable.”

O N L I N E P RO T E S T S In a coordinated effort, over 7,000 websites, including Wikipedia, blacked out their homepages to protest the laws. According to Wikipedia, over 160 million visited its anti-SOPA banner page while the site was blacked out. Google showed solidarity by placing a black redaction box over its logo. Some hackers even began launching attacks on websites that supported the bill. A group of hacktivists (Anonymous claimed re-

sponsibility) managed to take down the websites of the FBI, the Justice Department, NBC and other companies that had supported the bill. According to the official Anonymous home page, over 5,600 hackers took part in bringing down the sites.

C U R R E N T S TAT U S

Within days after the blackout, many lawmakers withdrew their support of SOPA and PIPA, but the proposals were not rejected. Lawmakers have postponed voting on either act until the House Judiciary Committee has come to a consensus on the legality of proposing these laws. Officially, the vote has been postponed indefi nitely, but lawmakers will most likely resume discussions as Americans get closer to the 2012 elections.

Hamilton turns microfilm to digital JANE PAIK Contributing Writer

“Prior to the Chronicling A merica project, students and researchers had to go to libraries and scroll through microfilm of old newspapers,” wrote librarian Joan Hori in an email. Librarians at Hamilton are working to digitize historic newspapers as part of the Chronicling A merica project. Digital versions are uploaded free to the public on the Chronicling A merica website, along with other digitized newspapers from various states. Searchability is one of the advantages of digitizing these archives. “There may have been

indexes that led to articles, but often indexes were not available. … [This new system] also provides for word, name, and phrase searching, often saving people many hours of searching time,” according to Hori. The images in the digital files can be enlarged, downloaded, enhanced, copied, and pasted easily – making them far more usable and useful than the old microfilm images. Librarian Martha Chantiny explained, “Microfilm would get scratched and become more difficult to use, while the digital file remains (theoretically) the same and doesn’t get misfiled or lost on the shelves.” The project covers many Hawaiian newspapers prior to 1922, but anything more current than

that is limited by copyright restrictions, according to Hori. The project also digitizes historical essays about the newspapers to, as Chantiny explained, “increase use and understanding of primary research materials. The historical essays and the topic guides we create are designed to help teachers, students and any lifelong learner see the context of the newspaper and how to ‘mine’ the information.” Hamilton Library has also submitted a grant proposal for 2012-2014 to digitize more issues of the Honolulu Star Bulletin and the Honolulu Advertiser. But Chantiny explained that they would still have about “200,000 possible pages from the Star Bulletin and Advertiser, plus the Hilo Tribune and Maui newspapers.”

However, there are others who have found unconventional opportunities at the university.

He also acknowledged that the job has taken him out of his comfort zone and has given him precious work experience, which might be useful after graduation.

Photography is a tricky art, especially in Hawai‘i. According to David Ulrich, photographer and program director at PaciďŹ c New Media, statistics show that there are more pictures taken in Hawai‘i than in any other state – and that’s not always a good thing. “There are so many different issues and concerns we need to be looking at [instead of just Hawai‘i landscapes], and photographers have a powerful tool in bringing awareness to social and cultural conditions,â€? said Ulrich. In order to set apart the talent within the saturated industry, UHM’s outreach program PaciďŹ c New Media is sponsoring the fourth annual survey exhibition of Contemporary Photography in Hawai‘i 2012, which will feature current “state of the artâ€? photography. Photographers are encouraged to submit their work for a variety of prizes and awards, and their submissions will be judged by Ulrich and Douglas Beasley, an internationally-reV O I C E

Ulrich believes photographers should pay attention to environmental, cultural and local issues. “We have so many people taking photos of the beauty of the landscape that there is little in-depth documentary work done in Hawai‘i,� said Ulrich. However, he also urges photographers to take meaningful pictures that portray themselves. “We are trying to encourage people who wish to take a deeper look into their own personal identity, rather than simply looking at another picture of a palm tree.�

First Saturdays at Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai are beginning again this year, starting at 8:15 a.m. on Feb. 4. University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students and volunteers from the surrounding community come to devote their time to caring for the lo‘i, or taro patch, at the Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge. Volunteers learn to perform traditional farming practices to nurture the kalo (taro) and native plants that surround the area while spending time with family and friends. “One thing that we do here that’s a little different from other places is we make mounds to plant the taro in,” said Hiapo Cashman, the director of the lo‘i. He added that this is a traditional practice done with sugarcane and ‘awa (also known as the kava plant). Conversing in Hawaiian also gives participants the opportunity to brush up on their Hawaiian language skills. “Students know they can count on it for class,” said Cashman, noting that many students fulfi ll their community service hour requirements for scholarships through First Saturdays. The “Hawaiian Renaissance,” a movement to revive and preserve traditional Hawaiian culture, inf luenced the restoration of the lo‘i in Kānewai, according to the UH Mānoa Catalog. In 1980, UH Mānoa students found the irrigation ditch that is now the lo‘i and took an interest in restoring the area. Kūpuna, or elders, taught UH Mānoa students the traditional farming practices used to sustain the kalo in the lo‘i today. Working at the lo‘i is definitely a hands-on experience. Volunteers should not be afraid to get a little muddy.

Early Hawaiians believed taro was the “elder brother” of mankind and placed it at the center of their diet.

Guava Danish from Papa Luck’s

This sweet, silky treat ($2.25) is the ultimate breakfast or afternoon pleasure, especially if dipped in a Papa Luck’s latte. The balance of sweet and tangy silkiness of the guava centered Danish, slight bitterness from the espresso, and the creaminess from the milk is the perfect break from a day of studying.

The baklava ($1) is nutty, fl aky and sweet, which makes for a great midday dessert. The small pasty is sticky sweet with honey and made with layers of phyllo dough. Stuffed with almond, walnuts and cinnamon, these desserts are also popular so get them early.

The most elusive treat on campus comes from Simply Ono. Its banana lumpia ($0.75) served on when chef Cara Stevens feels like is best, at the time. Due to popular demand, the lumpia sell out almost immediately. This Philippine staple has great texture with a fried crunch, and the bananas are a nice soft contrast.

Fox news, The Wall Street Journal and other large news outlets), who are trying hard to privatize the Web and protect their copyright materials so they can profit off of data distribution, creative

media or intellectual property. Recently, through their strong lobbying arm, they have attempted to push two bills: The Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act. They

While the old moguls turned to Congress for action, the new media moguls stepped up in defiance. Google’s petition against SOPA and PIPA raised 7 million signatures protesting the acts. Wikipedia, Craigslist, Reddit and several other websites joined in an Internet blackout. Due to the huge response from average users at home afraid their Internet will change for the worst, Congress decided to shelve the bills for the time being. But on Jan. 19, the Justice Department shut down major file-sharing site Megaupload. Its owners were arrested in New Zealand on racketeering charges and are waiting to be extradited to the United States. So now we must ask, will the media moguls get there with or without our say?

THE BIG PICTURE The new media moguls played the heroes on this occasion, but they too are making questionable changes to the Web. Google’s and Facebook’s privacy settings allow them to keep a record of every click and word typed so they can “better tailor information towards our needs.” The underlying issue here, as in ever ything, is money. The new media enterprises realize that advertising is the best way to make money online. So they sell your information to corporate entities and then they match you with the right product for your consumption. They want to give you the tools to better express yourself online so you can cre ate an official virtual identity, which in turn they can use to customize advertising to your interests. This offers an interesting contrast to the old media empires that are desperately tr ying to hold on their control of distribution and content. In the next five years, we may very well see the Internet change into something completely different than what we know now. But in what direction it is difficult to say.

‘Bows ready to ball

Off to a good start, the Wahine stare down Idaho and Utah state JEREMY NIT TA Staff Writer “There’s no place like homeâ€? seems to be a good motto for the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa women’s basketball team. The Rainbow Wahine are off to one of their best starts in the Western Athletic Conference season in recent memory, and will now have a three-game home stand to bolster their standing in the WAC. “We’re deďŹ nitely very conďŹ dent,â€? said sophomore guard Sydney Haydel. “We’re excited to play in front of our home crowd, and we have several home games coming up, so we’re excited for that. We expect to come out and play well in front of our home crowd.â€? Head coach Dana Takahara-Dias voiced that its recent success helped the team’s morale. “ This is one of our best starts in the WAC in a while,â€? said Takahara-Dias. “ The team is really enjoying playing basketball, and winning is obviously more fun and builds confidence and

builds momentum. That’s why it was so important and so crucial for the team to get off to the start that they did, so we can start building the foundation for the season from there.� Takahara-Dias also mentioned that the team began to develop strong character. “Every team evolves and grows, but I like the character that our team is building,� said Takahara-Dias. “For the team, a few wins has become more of a byproduct of working hard together and making sure that we get better every game.�

COMING UP The Rainbow Wahine will face Idaho on Thursday and Utah State on Saturday. Both games will start at 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. Prior to the Utah State game, Hawai‘i will hold the annual Alumnae Game, and a familiar face will be making what she calls “an appearance.� “I’m not sure if you can really call it playing,� said Takahara-Dias. “I’ll be stepping onto the court with basketball shoes on.�

“This year is a very special year for women’s athletics because we are celebrating 40 years,â€? said Takahara-Dias. “This one is extra special just because of the special ceremony that they’re holding. There are going to be players that played on the very ďŹ rst Rainbow Wahine team up until last year’s team. It’s a great homecoming. “We may not all be running at the same speed, and some players like me may not even look like we’ve played basketball before, but we’re going to be out there in great fun and fellowship and support the people who have played before and encourage the ones who are going to play after us.â€? Takahara-Dias also passed a lot of credit to associate head coach Da Houl. “She’s the one spearheading the Alumnae Game,â€? said Takahara-Dias. “This year we’re going to be having 20plus players on our roster, and a lot more that are going to be on the bench supporting. Houl is going to have a great outing because she’s been practicing every day after practice, so she’s going to be representing the coaching staff.â€?

and the 2000 Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year. A lthough they only spent one season together before Chow left for USC, R ivers continues to attribute much of his success to UH’s new head coach. “I had Coach Chow my freshman year at NC State, and he was a lot of the reason why I got my career going as a true freshman,” said Rivers in a press release. “Without him, I don’t know if I would’ve had the success that I had as a freshman, which then I was able to continue through the rest of my college career.” Rivers also ended up being selected ACC Athlete of the Year in 2004 and was the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. The Chargers’ field general credits Chow’s ability to adjust his offense for the success he enjoyed in college, which acted as a springboard for his NFL career. “As a quarterback, he had a way of really giving you the best chance to be successful. There wasn’t just one cookie-cutter way about it. Depending on the player that you were, the guys you have, the personalities you have, he was able to tailor the system and the plays and the whole deal to give you the best chance to be successful.” Despite Coach Chow’s monumental impact on his football career, Rivers believes that the Warriors’ new coach should be celebrated more for who he is off the field than on it. “A lthough I only had him one year, we’ve kept in touch over the past 10 years, and I think he’s a great coach,” he said. “More importantly, I think the University of Hawai‘i is getting a great man.”
