What Else is New
Prof. Moglen at OSCON, Speaking to O'Reilly: Open Source is a Waste of Time (Distracts From Software Freedom)
To cut to the chase, the segment of interest is 4:07 to 8:23, as noted here; the video itself is hard to find any longer, even in official channels
Open Source Initiative is a Corporate Front Group Looking for Money From Opponents of Software Freedom
The corporate coup against software freedom has enlisted another person to deepen the coup with corporate fund-raising (more strings, becoming indebted to surveillance firms and monopolies, hiding behind the "open" banner); that person is connected to a longtime foe of software freedom
[Meme] Restoring Peace by Spending 6 Million Euros to Fight Staff in Court (Approved by the EPO's Administrative Council)
Orange Man‘s plan for the EPO is a suicide plan; he has not done anything at all about Benoît Battistelli‘s abuses (instead he covers them up)
Freenode is Now Dead. But is the EPO Too 'Dead Man Walking'? When Rogues Are Left in Charge...
A video regarding part 5 of the series about the EPO’s Administrative Council and our transition to just one IRC server (consolidation due to Freenode being compromised and taken over by a destructive megalomaniac)

Presumption of Patent Invalidity in Europe
It's becoming harder to successfully enforce European Patents in courts because today's EPO is granting patents that aren't valid, or monopolies that should never have been issued in the first place
Freenode is Compromised
Time for everybody to move to irc.techrights.org, the only official IRC network for Techrights
An EPO Administrative Council Exposé — Part V: Sharing Out the Spoils of Public Office
"There can be little doubt that Safet Emruli's appointment as head of the SOIP and subsequent reappointment in 2018 were significantly influenced by party political considerations."

Alan Turing Would Turn in His Grave
Apple says it "protects children" but it is in fact handing over a weapon to the state (against anyone the state deems an "enemy" for whatever reason) by eradicating the expectation of privacy in one's private computing devices
An Ode to Josef
Great job, Josef! The Czech is in the mail!
EPO as a Combat Zone, Governed by Separatists Who Take Bribes
When countries without European Patents get to vote on important issues (and are easy to sway/bribe) it's hardly surprising that the EPO became a defunct institution, run partly by despots

[Meme] EPO: Over a Month of Non-Compliance With Court Rulings!
Not a word from EPO management or the EPO’s Web site (it has been five weeks!); Benoît Battistelli‘s crimes are being welcomed by António Campinos and his cohorts, who are in turn protected by the rogue Administrative Council, not to mention the bribed media (turning a blind eye as if none of this matters, let alone merits press coverage)
[Meme] More Than Meets the Eye...
The standards of the EPO have gone down considerably; no wonder corruption has become so pervasive in Europe’s second-largest institution
An EPO Administrative Council Exposé — Part IV: A Party Political Animal
A closer look at the EPO delegate from North Macedonia, who mysteriously vanished a few months ago

[Meme] The Administrative Council's Strategy for Saving the EPO: Paying Up (Bribing) the Media and Lawyering Up EPO Staff
Maybe the Administrative Council will hold EPO management accountable. Or maybe not…
The Corruption Virus at the EPO, Europe's Largest and Most Important Patent Office
The corrupt elements of the EPO have penetrated the Administrative Council, which was supposed to oversee the Office (and be able to remove risk); but instead the Administrative Council has become an instrument of cover-up, enabling endemic issues to overwhelm the whole body until it’s irreversible

[Meme] Freenode Down to 4-Digit Usercount (Down 90% Since May)
For reasons unknown to anyone, Freenode continues to destroy itself; mandating registration (IRC.com) has halved the number of online users (running the /lusers command shows the output below)
Scrollback in Techrights IRC (4 Methods)

[Meme] Stop Giving Code to Microsoft's GitHub
Now that Microsoft uses GitHub to encourage GPL violations it’s time to reassess the alleged ‘safety’ of outsourcing code to Microsoft
[Meme] Competition for the 'Doyen' (in the Boardroom or the Bedroom?)
A culture of overt nepotism goes beyond the EPO. Željko Topić is alleged to have had an affair with Ljiljana Kuterovac (there are court documents detailing this extramarital relationship), who went on to become a delegate for her nation, Croatia.
An EPO Administrative Council Exposé — Part III: A Longtime Associate of the Doyen
"Visiting small EPO member states like North Macedonia was immensely gratifying for Battistelli and it allowed him to indulge his personal vanity because he usually got to rub shoulders with high level politicians rather than just "mere" civil servants in charge of the national IPO."
