GEMA demands YouTube to pay 1.6 million euros

Posted by & filed under News, Other.

GEMA protects copyright holder’s rights in Germany. It is known for requesting to block access to millions of YouTube videos in the country. Argue about licensing issues is still in progress and it seems to come to the dead end in the middle of this year. Since GEMA requested YouTube to pay 1.6 million euros in fees for hosting 1000 music videos from their catalog. How 1000 videos can cost 1.6 millions – not known, but dispute becomes more and more interesting.

Youtube GEMA

The court in Hamburg has already arbitrated another row between GEMA and YouTube over how the platform should be defined. GEMA claims that YouTube is a content provider whose business model is built on content that is subject to royalties. YouTube, on the other hand, says it is a hosting service which simply makes space available to its users.

Speed Boost for VPN in Netherlands

Posted by & filed under News, Service.

We worked hard building good relations with ISP providers, improving infrastructure and fine tuning our servers to squeeze all possible bandwidth we have. Now connection speed with NL servers has been upgraded up to 8Mb per sec.

VPN Speed Boost

Bandwidth management is difficult task especially when you have many simultaneous clients. Some applications require fast response, but accept low throughput, others carry mostly about connection speed and big delay is not so important.

We’ve implemented and deployed special network packet queue manager to support different types of the traffic. Delay should become shorter for real time protocols and file download should be faster.

If you have good Internet connection, try our NL servers and see the difference.
