The owner of what once said to be China’s leading torrent site has been jailed for three years and fined more than US$116,000 by the Huai’an Intermediate People’s Court of Jiangsu Province. Yuan Moumou was arrested by local authorities in September 2016 after generating around US$204,000 from advertising revenue on BT Paradise between May 2015 and July 2016.

While most Western torrent site users are familiar with giants such as The Pirate Bay and RARBG, there’s also a thriving BitTorrent scene in the Far East.
Millions of Internet users in countries like China, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam rely on the protocol for their content fix but largely due to language barriers, their activities go largely unreported in North America and Europe.
Also contributing to the shortage of news are the relatively lax copyright regimes associated with some of these regions. Prosecutions are fairly scarce so it’s interesting to read that a court in China has just sentenced a former leading player in the eastern torrent scene.
On January 2, 2019, the Huai’an Intermediate People’s Court of Jiangsu Province sentenced the operator and owner of BT Paradise (aka BT Heaven) to three years in prison for copyright infringement offenses.
According to local media, authorities began investigating Yuan Moumou back in 2016, following reports that his site was involved in the unauthorized distribution of large volumes of copyrighted works, including movies and TV shows.
In September 2016, Mr Yuan was arrested by police, accused of generating advertising revenues alongside the provision of torrent files and so-called magnet links.
Authorities said that BT Paradise had around 600,000 visitors per day who together generated around three million page views, making it the largest domestic torrent site at the time.
The Court heard that between May 2015 and July 2016, Mr Yuan’s site made around 1.4 million yuan (US$204,000) after offering in excess of 24,700 links to more than 10,870 movies and TV shows.
An image circulated by authorities following the arrest more than two years ago didn’t suggest a particularly lavish lifestyle, however.
BT Paradise previously operated from the domain BTtiantang.com but despite its size, attracted relatively little attention from copyright holders, at least in the West.
As data obtained from Google’s Transparency Report shows, takedown notices were extremely thin on the ground for a site of this size, despite companies including Paramount Pictures, FOX, Lionsgate, Home Box Office, and Columbia Pictures taking a passing interest.
In addition to his three-year sentence, the former BT Paradise operator is also required to pay a fine of 800,000 yuan (US$116,000).

Wer laut ist, stirbt oft und schnell. Ein Test von Marc Sauter (Crytek, Cry Engine) It’s the most notable update to the lineup since 2016.
LG has announced its TV lineup in the lead-up to the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week. As in other recent years, the company has split its lineup between LCD and OLED models, and the OLED models are generally the most interesting. This year, LG's OLEDs and certain high-end LCD TVs will support HDMI 2.1, allowing them to display 4K content at 120Hz over HDMI.
HDMI 2.1 is also relevant for the emerging 8K TV category, as the previous version of HDMI only allowed 8K at 30 frames per second (fps). LG will introduce two 8K TVs—the 88-inch Z9 OLED TV and the 75-inch SM99 LCD TV—that can handle 60Hz content at the full 8K resolution over HDMI. Samsung announced its first mass-market 8K TV in late 2018, and it was limited to 30Hz. Granted, there is virtually no 60Hz 8K content available in most markets, and very little 120Hz 4K content. But that could change as TVs like these come to market.

From the French Revolution to the history of the novel, Big Data makes its mark

Truly revolutionary political transformations are naturally of great interest to historians, and the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century is widely regarded as one of the most influential, serving as a model for building other European democracies. A paper published last summer in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers new insight into how the members of the first National Constituent Assembly hammered out the details of this new type of governance.
Specifically, rhetorical innovations by key influential figures (like Robespierre) played a critical role in persuading others to accept what were, at the time, audacious principles of governance, according to co-author Simon DeDeo, a former physicist who now applies mathematical techniques to the study of historical and current cultural phenomena. And the cutting-edge machine learning methods he developed to reach that conclusion are now being employed by other scholars of history and literature.
It's part of the rise of so-called "digital humanities." As more and more archives are digitized, scholars are applying various analytical tools to those rich datasets, such as Google N-gram, Bookworm, and WordNet. Tagged and searchable archives mean connecting the dots between different records is much easier. Close reading of selected sources—the traditional method of historians—gives a deep but narrow view. Quantitative computational analysis has the potential to combine that kind of close reading with a broader, more generalized bird's-eye approach that might reveal hidden patterns or trends that otherwise might have escaped notice.
