The summary analyzes Steam's privacy policy and terms of service, noting that they diminish user rights. It says that while users think they purchase games, they actually purchase subscriptions that can be canceled without refund. Valve can also cancel accounts and change rules at any time. The policy allows broad data collection and sharing and gives Valve control over user-generated content. It suggests these policies lack fairness and regulatory standards could help address imbalances.

The document discusses recent initiatives by the USPTO and Supreme Court rulings that have increased focus on patent quality in the US. It summarizes a study ranking the top US law firms in terms of the quality of patents they obtain based on an "Ocean Tomo Rating" score. Firms specializing in specific industries like healthcare and IT dominate the rankings. The popularity of new post-issuance review procedures introduced by the America Invents Act have further intensified scrutiny on patent quality and changed how patent applications are drafted.

Steam: Policy Primer - Warwick Janetzki NET303: Internet Politics and Power C...WarwickJanetzki
This document discusses the Steam platform and its subscriber agreement. It summarizes that Steam acts as a digital distributor of games, a digital rights manager, and a communications platform. It allows users to download games, communicate with others, and access content through their online account. However, the subscriber agreement notes that users are purchasing licenses, not ownership, and content is subject to DRM and the terms can change without notice. The document analyzes some of the pros and cons of the Steam platform and subscriber agreement terms.
The document provides an overview of text-based games and includes a sample output from a text-based dragon adventure game. Text-based games preceded modern video games, using only text for interaction through command line prompts. The sample output shows the player moving between rooms and interacting with items to complete the goal before encountering the villain, demonstrating how these early games worked without graphics. It also provides guidance for a class project to design and develop a original text-based game.

IT 140 A Mini History of Text-Based Games
Text-based games were the predecessor to the reality-based video games we play today. They were
"interactive fiction" where words came to life as players read text and made decisions about what to do.
These text-based games simulated environments where players used text commands to control their
characters and influence the gaming environment.
Imagine a current action-adventure video game where, instead of using a controller or touchscreen to
give your character directions, you enter text on a command line. There are no graphics on the screen,
forcing you to use your imagination. Commands you enter might be “open door”, “go west”, or “fight
troll”. These commands change the way the story plays out.
While it may be hard to imagine a video game without any videos, these text games were very popular
in the 70s and 80s. Many programmers and computer technicians played role-playing board games, like
Dungeons and Dragons, with their friends. A text-based game allowed them to take their adventures to
the digital realm. They could play their games on the mainframes at work, submitting commands with a
teleprinter and receiving the output on paper.

Eventually, monochrome monitors allowed players to see their input and output in real time, right
before their eyes. Players were able to enjoy playing Lunar Lander and Star Trek using displays like the
following:

Star Trek Text Game by James Gibbon under CC BY-SA 3.0
You can still find playable versions of these games online, such as Lunar Lander, Star Trek, and Zork.
They will help you see how far game development has come. (Note: Links may change over time. Search
for the game name and “simulator”.)
In this class, you will have the opportunity to create your own version of a text-based game. You will be
able to see your code come to life as it becomes interactive. Through the use of conditionals and loops,
you will be able to guide adventurers through your world in the same way these early text-based games
did several decades ago.

1. Cloud computing provides solutions for storage issues arising from increased mobile device usage and data growth by allowing data to be stored remotely and accessed from any device with an internet connection.
2. A private cloud in particular allows individuals to securely store personal data locally at a low cost using a private network. Data stored in a private cloud can be accessed from multiple devices through user authentication.
3. Cloud computing services like infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) enable big data analytics and private cloud storage, helping organizations and individuals efficiently store and analyze large amounts of data.
Various cloud computing models are used to increase the profit of an organization. Cloud
provides a convenient environment and more advantages to business organizations to run their
business. But, it has some issues related to the privacy of data. User’s data are stored and
maintained out of user’s premises. The failure of data protection causes many issues like data
theft which affects the individual organization. The cloud users may be satisfied, if their data
are protected properly from unauthorized access. This paper presents a survey on different
privacy issues involved in the cloud service. It also provides some suggestions to the cloud users to select their suitable cloud services by knowing their privacy policies.

Smartphones Have Privacy Risks
Smartphones, 2013

Around the turn of the century, the FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] was pursuing a case against a suspect—rumored to be Las Vegas strip-club tycoon Michael Galardi, though documents in the case are still sealed—when it hit upon a novel surveillance strategy.
The suspect owned a luxury car equipped with an OnStar-like system that allowed customers to "phone home" to the manufacturer for roadside assistance. The system included an eavesdropping mode designed to help the police recover the vehicle if it was stolen, but the FBI realized this same antitheft capability could also be used to spy on the vehicle's owner.
When the bureau asked the manufacturer for help, however, the firm (whose identity is still secret) objected. They said switching on the device's microphone would render its other functions—such as the ability to contact emergency personnel in case of an accident—inoperable. A federal appeals court sided with the company; ruling the company could not be compelled to transform its product into a surveillance device if doing so would interfere with a product's primary functionality.
The specifics of that 2003 ruling seem quaint today [in 2012]. The smartphones most of us now carry in our pockets can easily be turned into surveillance and tracking devices without impairing their primary functions. And that's not the only privacy risk created as we shift to a mobile, cloud-based computing world. The cloud services we use to synchronize data between our devices increase the risk of our private data falling prey to snooping by the government, by private hackers, or by the cloud service provider itself. And we're packing ever more private data onto our mobile devices, which can create big headaches if we leave a cell phone in a taxicab.
What to do about it? In this [viewpoint], we'll explore the new privacy threats being created as the world shifts to an increasingly mobile, multi-device computing paradigm. Luckily, there are steps both device makers and lawmakers can take to ...
This document provides an analysis of LinkedIn's Terms of Service by summarizing key points about LinkedIn as a social media platform for professionals and highlighting important clauses in their Terms of Service. It notes that by agreeing to the Terms of Service, users agree to provide personal information and allow LinkedIn broad rights to collect and use member data. However, the document raises concerns that the Terms give up too much privacy and control over personal information and content.
A global Digital Magna Carta that lays the foundation for everyone’s access to internet is beneficial for trade and social exchange. Since internet is very accessible to all, privacy concerns for people and companies is important to protect. However, there will be exemptions to privacy concerns when technology increases the user experience and make it easier to use internet. Other cases of exemptions will be when it greatly benefit the functioning of society and such examples includes the health sector and the rescue services.

Did Mom take her morning meds? Did she take the right meds?
Imagine a world where you receive notifications when your mother misses her morning medications and where her doctor automatically receives her Glucometer or Pulse Oximeter readings. This talk will be an introductory discussion about taking an Internet Of Things (IoT) approach to keeping our loved ones safe, in their own homes longer, and elongate their presence in our lives. We will be discussing the challenges around applying IoT technologies to personal healthcare and how we can use Pivotal Technologies to build a more efficient solution.
The discussion will start by reviewing the challenges with personal healthcare including the privacy and security concerns and considerations. We will also delve into how Arther C Clarke's third law can be used to describe IoT technologies. With this context, we will explore building a personal healthcare IoT solution on PCF using Spring Technologies.
Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, and communications platform created by Valve Corporation that allows users to download games and other software directly from its servers without physical media. As a digital distribution platform, Steam provides automatic updates to games. However, it also functions as a digital rights management system through its subscriber agreement that outlines the terms of use and protects Valve. There are potential issues with identity deception since anyone can create an account, possibly to scam other users through game trading.
In this report, we analyze a sample of settings in Facebook, Google and Windows 10, and show how default settings and dark patterns, techniques and features of interface design meant to manipulate users, are used to nudge users towards privacy intrusive options. The findings include privacy intrusive default settings, misleading wording, giving users an illusion of control, hiding away privacy-friendly choices, take-it-or-leave-it choices, and choice architectures where choosing the privacy friendly option requires more effort for the users.

This presentation discusses moving enterprise IT to public cloud. It notes that enterprise IT organizations face complex environments, growing costs, and lack of resources. The cloud looks like an option to help address these issues and generate business advantage. While there are challenges with cloud adoption related to security, control, and trust, the presentation argues that cloud providers may offer greater availability, security, and efficiency than traditional IT environments through their large scale operations. It advocates a hybrid approach for enterprises, moving commodity services to public cloud while using private cloud for high value services and legacy systems, with a goal of saying goodbye to legacy over time.

There are potential issues with identity deception since anyone can create an account, possibly to scam other users through game trading.
In this report, we analyze a sample of settings in Facebook, Google and Windows 10, and show how default settings and dark patterns, techniques and features of interface design meant to manipulate users, are used to nudge users towards privacy intrusive options. The findings include privacy intrusive default settings, misleading wording, giving users an illusion of control, hiding away privacy-friendly choices, take-it-or-leave-it choices, and choice architectures where choosing the privacy friendly option requires more effort for the users.
Web 2.0: Legal Issues and Opportunitiesmorganjbruce
This document discusses some of the legal issues and opportunities that have arisen with the development of new technologies like the Internet and Web 2.0. It outlines privacy concerns over increased information sharing online and through social networks. Intellectual property issues are also examined, such as handling of copyrighted material on sites like YouTube. However, Web 2.0 also enables new legal resources and opportunities for public participation and discourse.

This presentation discusses moving enterprise IT to public cloud. It notes that enterprise IT organizations face complex environments, growing costs, and lack of resources. The cloud looks like an option to help address these issues and generate business advantage. While there are challenges with cloud adoption related to security, control, and trust, the presentation argues that cloud providers may offer greater availability, security, and efficiency than traditional IT environments through their large scale operations. It advocates a hybrid approach for enterprises, moving commodity services to public cloud while using private cloud for high value services and legacy systems, with a goal of saying goodbye to legacy over time.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

2. Most of us don’t read the privacy
policies and terms of service of
the online platforms we use for
good reason.
Image: (Aguado, 2011)
3. It’s estimated it would take you 244
hours to read the privacy policies
for all the websites you visit in a year
(McDonald & Cranor, 2008, p. 563).
They’re time consuming.
Image: (Wickramanayaka, 2014)
4. Research has found that even experts
in law struggle to interpret privacy
policies (Reidenberg et al., 2015).
And they’re confusing.
Image: (CollegeDegrees360, 2012)
5. Still, they’re worth our attention as these
policies often diminish the rights of
users.
6. To illustrate, let’s explore the policies of
the popular online service Steam.
We’ll look at how these policies
effect ownership and privacy,
and the unfairness of Steam’s
dispute resolution clauses.
Image: (Kit, 2007)
9. Steam is an online PC gaming and
social network platform owned by the
software company Valve.
Image: Screenshot http://store.steampowered.com/, 2016
It has over 125 million users worldwide
(Saed, 2015).
16. You may think you buy games on Steam, but
that’s not entirely accurate.
What you buy are subscriptions to games
(Valve, 2016).
17. If you or Valve cancel your account, these
subscriptions end without refund and
you are no longer allowed to play your
games (Valve, 2016).
18. Valve can cancel your account if you break
the terms of the Subscriber Agreement or
Steam’s rules of conduct, which Valve can
change whenever they want (Valve, 2016).
Image: (Indruch, 2009)
19. While it’s likely digital content providers set
these restrictions to protect against
piracy (Wong, 2013, p. 733) …
20. … they effectively hold valuable content to
ransom, pressuring us to continue using their
services and accepting the terms they set.
Image: (James, 2013)
21. We do own some content on Steam.
The content we create and make
public on social media, such as
reviews, videos and artworks, are
our intellectual property.
Image: Screenshot http://steamcommunity.com/?subsection=images, 2016
22. The agreement grants Valve many of the
powers of a copyright owner over our
content, such as being free to modify it
and create derivative works that solely
belong to them (Valve, 2016).
Image: (Paz, 2010)
23. Tech companies and users are co-creators of
social media sites (Schumann, von Wangenheim, & Groene, 2014, p. 66) …
If users didn’t add content to Steam’s
community section, who would visit it?
Image: (Berge, 2010)
24. … yet we seem to come out second-best
in the relationship.
25. When we agree to Steam’s terms we
lose control over content we own
and Gain no property rights over the
content we spend money on.
27. Valve collects from Steam users
Anonymous Data & Personally
Identifiable Information.
28. Anonymous data supposedly can’t
identify you. It can include your browsing
history, purchase history, gender and postal
code.
Image: (überBusy, 2006)
29. Valve can share this data with anyone
(Valve, 2015) because it isn’t considered a
threat to privacy …
30. … even though there are methods that
exist that can link this data back to
individuals (Marwick & boyd, 2014, p. 1053; Narayanan
& Shmatikov, 2010, p. 25).
31. It collects this data in order to study
consumer habits (Valve, 2015).
Many companies do this so they can
personalise their services and create
targeted advertising (Brown & Muchira, 2004).
Image: (Vance, 2007)
Valve does not specify or give us
options over what anonymous data
is collected from us.
32. Basically, we’re being profiled
in ways we can’t see or control
based on online behaviour that
may not reflect who we are
(van Wel & Royakkers, 2004, p. 133).
Image: (Lund, 2007)
33. Personally identifiable information
is information volunteered by users “that can
be used to uniquely identify a user such as
name, address or credit card number” (Valve, 2015).
Image: (Ivanushkin, 2009)
34. It’s not mentioned how long Valve
keeps this information.
Image: (Cholet, 2011)
You can ask for it to be removed
from Valve’s records …
35. … but the request can be denied
for vague various reasons such as if
the request is deemed “extremely
impractical” (Valve, 2015).
Image: (fdecomite, 2012)
37. Valve may release our information to
authorities “to comply with court orders
or laws”(Valve, 2015).
It makes no promises to resist such
requests or to notify users when they
occur.
38. When we’re vulnerable to
scrutiny, it changes the way
we act (Introna, 1997, p. 268).
Image: (ep_jhu, 2010)
39. Online surveillance concerns have seen
22% of American internet users
change their online behaviour
(Rainie & Madden, 2015).
40. When we use Steam, we compromise
our privacy, threatening our ability
to define our actions and ourselves.
42. The subscriber agreement
attempts to dictate what legal
measures we can take against
Valve, such as insisting we forgo
the right to a trial in court (Valve, 2016).
Image: (brainflakes., 2008)
43. These terms might not apply in some
countries (Valve, 2016). Their inclusion in the
agreement makes it unclear what a
user’s legal rights are …
Image: (Habel, 2007)
44. … potentially discouraging users
from defending themselves with
appropriate legal action (Loos & Luzak, 2016, p. 85).
46. Many of us are happy to exchange
our personal information and user
content for a great online service
(Schumann, von Wangenheim, & Groene, 2014, p. 70).
Image: (Magal, 2011)
But is it fair that we’re forced
to relinquish so much control
in these exchanges?
47. It’s in a company’s economic interest
to have control over our data and content
but so is maintaining the trust of their
customers (Peacock, 2014, p. 7; Dean, Payne, & Landry, 2016, p. 500).
48. Expressing our concerns to tech companies can
help us regain power over our information and
content …
Image: (kunkelstein, 2007)
49. … And so can better legislation. In Steam’s
policies you’ll notice that European Union
users are given greater consideration.
This is because the EU has stricter laws
governing privacy and consumer rights
(Bogdan, 2015; Curtis, 2016).
Image: (Allen, 2010)
50. Online terms of service are “exploitative,
unjust, unavoidable” and one-sided
(Peacock, 2014, p. 7).
But that can change.
