They probably just set user agent (and reverse DNS name) to Google or some other company that can bypass the firewall.

This seems the most likely way it works. Which makes me unsympathetic to publishers who complain about it. Digital distribution will always have this issue. Substack goes from strength to strength because they don't give an inch on the paywall.

What capitalism continues to show us: proof that public libraries, if created in the last 10 years, would be deemed illegal and sued out of existence.

It's only because the late 1800's billionaires wanted to leave legacies and made pay-to-enter and free libraries, and migrated them to free, or public libraries. Thats why so many of them are (John) Carnegie Libraries.

Only legal when billionaires do it.

Would there be anything worth putting into the libraries if intellectual property rights are not respected?

You don't need to postulate a shadowy cabal because it's not shadowy.

Does it not bother you that David Cameron's first press officer was Murdoch-stooge Andy Coulson, who had already resigned as Editor as News of the World, and who was subsequently imprisoned for his role in phone hacking?

We're talking about someone who would attempt to hack the phone of anyone with a public profile - including politicians - and who was then employed to run the official government press office.

Meanwhile Rupert Murdoch's attitude to Europe is public knowledge:

So. It's not shadowy at all. It's not mysterious. No joining of dots is needed.

It's completely overt and out in the open. And it should never have been allowed this level of influence over British politics without being challenged.

Yeah, influential Tories are likely to get jobs when a Tory government is in power. Much like how Seamus Milne will become the Corbyn's press officer come a labour win in June.

And that quote has always just been a standard issue made up internet quote. Murdoch was literally in the Guardian letter pages denying he ever said such a thing. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/dec/19/rupert-murdoch...

And why would he say it? "When I go into Downing Street they do as I say" would be a bizarre utterance from a newspaper editor.

>Le Roux admitted that he had created the encryption software E4M but denied that he had developed TrueCrypt, its famous progeny.

To me the picture that is being painted is that Truecrypt was a project funded by criminals and maintained by people associated with organised crime.

Yet we still don't know what happened in 2014 that ended the project and the circumstances in how they 'gassed' their canary. Was it something to do with Le Roux's informing? Was it connected to the Snowden revelations?

Really hoping the last part will shed some light on the closure of Truecrypt and the full story of the authorship. What is the Czech connection?!.
