Illegal Distribution Research Articles

Persepsi Generasi Z terhadap Pembajakan Film Indonesia melalui TikTok dan Telegram

Generation Z is an active generation that uses online media. TikTok and Telegram are two forms of online media that are often used illegally to display scene clips or full durations of Indonesian films. Cases of film piracy are increasingly easy to find on online media. This study aims to explore Generation Z's perceptions of Indonesian film piracy on TikTok and Telegram online media. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation and literature studies. The study results show that Generation Z has various perceptions of film piracy, ranging from positive to negative. Film piracy can be in the form of displaying scene clips with limited durations on TikTok. Watching full-length films on Telegram is also part of the illegal distribution of films. Film piracy has the potential to harm filmmakers and does not respect copyright. However, filmmakers can still use TikTok for promotional media and attract the audience through scene clips displayed for a limited duration. The existence of video on demand can be an alternative for easy access to Indonesian films, which still need to be shown in theatres. In addition, the findings of this study explain the importance of further education on the negative impacts of piracy, increasing accessibility of legal content, and reducing dependence on pirated content through the availability of official platforms in the digital era.

The main ways to improve the effectiveness of electronic document management protection

Information resources and information systems are among the main protected elements in all spheres of life of modern enterprises [11-15]. Today, the means of negative information impact on these elements are actively developing, the counteraction of which requires extensive diverse research and development of relevant concepts, programs for organizing specific work in the field of creating tools, methods and techniques for ensuring information security. Illegal distribution of digital documents by authorized but unscrupulous users is a growing threat to the confidentiality of organizations, which a document management system using only encryption methods cannot fully cope with. This problem occurs together with access to a digital document by unauthorized users. In this article, as a countermeasure to protect digital documents from these two threats, a new approach is proposed that carefully combines encryption and fingerprinting methods at certain stages of the digital document lifecycle. Within this scenario, a full analysis was carried out, in which the main constituent elements, their interaction, data flow and the provision of security services were identified. This protection system guarantees a sufficient level of security, since it uses standard cryptographic algorithms and recommended key sizes. The purpose of this approach is to provide information security services such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication, non-repudiation and user tracking, thereby protecting digital documents throughout their entire life cycle.

Development of a diagnostic variable number tandem repeat marker and dual TaqMan genotyping assay to distinguish Lophophora species.

The Lophophora genus of the Cactaceae family includes Lophophora diffusa and Lophophora williamsii, which has traditionally been used as a natural analgesic; however, its use is now under strict regulation worldwide as it contains mescaline, a unique psychotropic agent. Recently, non-medical and illegal distribution and abuse of L. williamsii have increased worldwide; thus, effective species identification methods are urgently needed. Here, we identified a new variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) marker in the trnL intron region to identify and characterize species in forensic analyses. The VNTR marker has a unique structure of tandem repeats, each with 13 nucleotides; one repeat unit was found in L. williamsii and two in L. diffusa. Phylogenetic and length polymorphism analyses confirmed that this novel VNTR marker could distinguish between Lophophora species. Furthermore, our newly developed TaqMan genotyping assay utilizes two probes; the color and position of dots on the discrimination plot differ according to the tandem repeat count within the VNTR marker. The limits of detection of the assay were 0.000063ng (LW-VNTR probe-1) and 0.000066ng (LW-VNTR probe-2), indicating high sensitivity. Moreover, when crime scene samples of 16 presumed L. williamsii species were analyzed, the results coincided with those of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, confirming the applicability of our marker for Lophophora species identification. Thus, the tandem repeats within the trnL intron region can be exploited as a VNTR marker to identify L. williamsii and L. diffusa. Our dual TaqMan genotyping assay based on a novel marker demonstrates potential for forensic applications.

The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the Copyright Law in safeguarding digital songs with audio watermarking from illegal duplication, and to analyze the legal responsibilities of those who duplicate songs on digital platforms using such methods under the Copyright Law. The research methodology employed is normative juridical, focusing on the internal aspects of positive law and utilizing literature sources like journals, books, case law, and relevant legislative materials, particularly Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. Legal materials are gathered through a literature review as a secondary data source, along with descriptive analysis to elucidate the legal implications concerning copyright protection in the digital age. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of advanced and effective audio watermarking technology in addressing the challenges of copyright protection in the digital era. The research results highlight the importance of copyright protection in the music industry in the digital era. Audio watermarking methods are used to insert data into digital content to protect content ownership and identify copyright holders. There are efforts to overcome the challenges in preventing illegal acquisition of copyrighted content by utilising watermarking technology. It can thus be concluded that despite efforts made to regulate the digital marketplace and improve legal standards, illegal distribution of material is still quite rampant. YouTube is cited as an effective platform in protecting intellectual property rights by successfully addressing the issue of copyright infringement by removing infringing content.

Rapid investigating of phase I metabolites of SR9009 in vitro horse liver microsomes via feature-based molecular networking approach: Potential applications in doping control

SR9009, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) agonist, is known for its potential benefits in energy homeostasis. It failed to receive the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approval and its illegal distribution has raised concerns. As a result, it has been classified as a prohibited substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA). This study emphasizes the application of the in-silico molecular networking technology to analyze phase I drug metabolites in horses, distinguishing it from conventional methodologies in forensic science. Feature-based molecular networking (FBMN) analysis identified 15 metabolites, with novel major N-dealkylated metabolite (-C8H7NO4S), indicative of diverse metabolic modifications in horse liver microsomes incubation assay. Additionally, a proposed metabolic pathway of SR9009 in the in vitro assay was outlined, including the previously known dehydroxylated metabolite. Finally, the metabolic pathways included in this study were as follows: hydroxylation, dehydrogenation, N-dealkylation dihydroxylation, and combinations. Molecular networking provided insights into MS spectra connectivity, facilitating rapid interpretation and accurate detection of previously undiscovered metabolites. In conclusion, this study contributes to the understanding of SR9009 metabolism in horses and underscores the importance of advanced analytical techniques, such as molecular networking, in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of metabolite analysis for forensic and doping control purposes.

Separate problems of detecting the illegal sale of narcotics

The scientific article examines issues related to identifying the problems of detecting the illegal sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors. A number of problems related to the detection by law enforcement officers of the illegal sale of narcotic drugs have been clarified and outlined. A number of means and measures that organized criminal groups use for the possibility of illegal sale of narcotic drugs have also been established, and they have been considered.
 It has been established that drug criminals constantly improve the methods of illegal sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors, using new means and tools. This, in turn, gives rise to problems of detecting illegal drug sales.
 An inseparable part of modern organized criminal groups involved in the illegal sale of narcotic drugs is the conspiracy of illegal activities, the use of various mechanisms to ensure against direct contact with buyer during their transfer. The members of some criminal groups do not know the members of other criminal groups, but contact only those with whom they work continuously. Such organized criminal groups have an extensive and complex structure with a strict division of roles, high discipline, and hierarchy. Conspiracy, high mobility, the availability of means of communication, a significant level of organization, as well as establishing cooperation and reducing competition between other criminal groups complicates the possibilities of detecting narcotics during illegal transportation.
 It was found that a number of problems in detecting the illegal distribution of narcotic drugs depend not only on the constant ingenuity and improvement of the criminal activity of criminals, but also on the continuous updating of the knowledge of law enforcement officers about the peculiarities of such activity and their professionalism. And therefore consideration of this problem is a necessary condition for effective detection of illegal sale of narcotics.

Establishing effective interpretation criteria in hair analysis to distinguish between passive and active cocaine exposure: Insights from authentic hair samples collected from professional individuals exposed to cocaine.

Interpretation results of hair analysis, particularly for cocaine, can be challenging due to the need to differentiate between active use or passive contamination. Our study aimed to assess the impact of varying degrees of passive cocaine exposure hair analysis results and their interpretation. Hair samples (n = 25) were categorized based on the declared cocaine exposure of volunteers: (a) high, involving handling up to several kilograms of cocaine powder from dismantling illegal distribution sites; (b) medium, where staff dealt with cocaine blocks (up to kilograms); and (c) low, with staff in contact with up to grams of cocaine for laboratory analysis. Hair samples were decontaminated using dichloromethane, water, and methanol. The samples and final wash were analyzed for cocaine, benzoylecgonine, norcocaine, cocaethylene, m-OH-benzoylecgonine, and ecgonine methyl ester using a validated UPLC-MS/MS method. Cocaine hair concentrations ranges were as follows (pg/mg): high (n = 53 segments) < LLOQ(32)-7046; medium (n = 91) < LLOQ-939; and low (n = 54) < LLOQ-292. All hair samples had concentrations below the LLOQ for cocaethylene, ecgonine methyl ester, and m-OH-benzoylecgonine. Applying the SoHT cocaine cut-off in combination with a hair/wash ratio criterion identified 97% of the samples as contaminated. This study advocates for a comprehensive approach in evaluating cocaine hair concentrations. This involves integrating the 500 pg/mg decision limit for cocaine with a criterion comparing wash and hair concentration. Additionally, confirming the presence of specific metabolites is crucial. This multifaceted method effectively distinguishes between environmental contamination and active cocaine usage. The research contributes significantly to refining cocaine exposure assessment in professional contexts.

International Narcotics Crime Status and Countermeasures: Focusing on Thailand and new drugs

creasing every year. According to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, the number of drug offenders exceeded 10,000 in 2015 and increased to 18,395 in 2022. In particular, the number of teenagers using drugs nearly tripled from 119 in 2017 to 481 in 2022. In addition, with the revitalization of international exchange and the Internet, illegal distribution of drugs on the dark web and other Internet drugs has increased. New supply methods such as illegal distribution of medical narcotics have emerged, and drugs developed as analogues or inducers that avoid existing sanctions are being distributed as new types of narcotics, making it difficult to solve the problem. The country that has the greatest influence on drug crimes in Korea is Thailand. As of 2022, among foreign drug offenders, Thais accounted for the largest number at 779, and the largest number were smuggling offenders at 301. Meanwhile, the harmfulness of drugs causes various social problems such as crimes due to arousal, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms. In particular, the number of drug offenders under the age of 29 is increasing, raising concerns about the future of the country. Drug crime measures to be taken together with Thailand include establishing measures by drug type, establishing and implementing an early response system for new drugs such as a temporary drug designation system, and operating a cooperation system to investigate and arrest drug crime distribution networks.

Rehabilitation of Drug Users in Makassar City

The spread and abuse of narcotics is a complex problem, which requires comprehensive mitigation efforts involving multidisciplinary, multisectoral cooperation and active community participation carried out continuously, consistently and consistently. Even though in medical science, most classes of narcotics are still useful for treatment, if they are misused or used not according to medical indications or treatment standards, especially if accompanied by illegal distribution, it will have very detrimental consequences for individuals and society at large. The cumulative number of AIDs cases in Indonesia in the second quarter of 2010 was 21,770 cases. The spread of HIV/AIDS among Injection Drug Use/IDUs has reached 8,795 cases. Methadone substitution therapy needs to be carried out with the aim of reducing adverse health, social and economic impacts, reducing the risk of contracting and transmitting HIV to other people, however therapy failure often occurs due to non-compliance or poor adherence. The research is observational with a cross sectional approach. Data were collected using questionnaires through interviews with informants following the therapy program. The results of the study showed good compliance in following therapy. Factors related to compliance in therapy are knowledge, attitudes, motivation, self-efficacy, family role, peer role, and health worker role. Multivariate analysis of multiple Logistic Regression, the most influential factors are motivation and the role of peers.

Криминологические риски и проблемы квалификации публичной демонстрации порнографических материалов с использованием сети интернет

During the analysis of the phenomenon of “webcams” within the context of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation, its social danger was investigated. Judicial practice was analyzed, and the author provided comments regarding its interpretation and understanding. Directions for further research and study of “webcams” from a legal perspective are proposed. The problem of illegal distribution of pornographic materials, especially involving minors, in the context of the development of digital and information-telecommunication technologies was identified. The author notes that such websites often have short lifespans and use additional or backup sources to avoid being blocked by law enforcement agencies. These crimes are difficult to detect and prosecute due to the anonymity provided by the Internet. Methods of combating illegal distribution of pornographic content in the information sphere were identified, including responding to user complaints, reacting to signals from Roskomnadzor (Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media), and independent monitoring and removal of unlawful content. However, the author emphasizes that social networks are merely information intermediaries, and the content is created by users. The development of digital technologies, such as online broadcasts and webcam shows, has contributed to the expansion of the porn industry and facilitated users’ access to pornographic websites.

FEATURES OF PREVENTION OF CRIMES RELATED TO RAPE

Currently, moral foundations in the field of sexual relations in Russian society are significantly shakendue to the aggressive display of sex technology in the media and communication, the illegal distribution ofpornography and pedophilia and other similar forms of moral “liberation of a free personality.”Rape is one of the most serious crimes against sexual integrity and sexual freedom of the individual.Among other homogeneous crimes, rape accounts for 85–90%.The destabilization of the situation in the country, the increase in serious violent crimes, the impunityof many crimes, indicating the ineffectiveness of victimsʹ appeals to law enforcement agencies, the fear ofrevenge from criminals — all this indicates that the real number of such serious sexual crimes as rape is intwo to three times more than officially registered. The article examines the current state of crimes againstsexual freedom and sexual integrity. The author describes the main methods of preventing and combatingrape.

Robust Wavelet based Watermarking Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract: From the 13th century we are using watermarking techniques and first time watermarking used by paper industry because the benefit of watermarking in this industry to unique identify of papers. Thus we can use this technique for authentication and copyright purpose. Watermarking is a pattern which is used to insert in a entity. When we insert any watermark then it will not change any functionality or structure of an entity. We can say digital entities like audio, video, computer programs, software, hardware like chips. Main purpose of watermark is to provide authenticity and illegal distribution of work attacks.

Results. Based on the analysis of statistical information on the number of network users, registered domain names and detected pirate sites, it was concluded that it is impossible to manually search and respond to violations of copyright and/or related rights.

When prohibition works: Comparing fireworks and cannabis regulations, markets, and harms.

Nations wrestle with whether to prohibit products that can harm consumers and third parties but whose prohibition creates illegal markets. For example, cannabis is banned in most of the world, but supply for non-medical use has been legalized in Uruguay, Canada, and much of the United States and possession restrictions have been liberalized in other countries. Likewise, supply and possession of fireworks have been subject to varying degrees of prohibition in multiple countries, with those bans prompting significant evasion. Current and past history of fireworks regulations, sales, and harms are reviewed and contrasted with those for cannabis. The focus is on the United States, but literature from other countries is incorporated when possible and appropriate. This extends the insightful literature comparing drugs to other vices (such as gambling and prostitution) by comparing a drug to a risky pleasure that is not seen as a vice but which has been subject to prohibition. There are many parallels between fireworks and cannabis in legal approaches, harms to "users", harms to others, and other externalities. In the U.S. the timing of prohibitions were similar, with prohibitions on fireworks being imposed a little later and repealed a little sooner. Internationally, the countries that are strictest with fireworks are not always those that are strictest with drugs. By some measures, harms are of roughly similar magnitude. During the last years of U.S. cannabis prohibition, there were about 10 emergency department (ED) events per million dollars spent on both fireworks and illegal cannabis, but fireworks generated very roughly three times as many ED events per hour of use/enjoyment. There are also differences, e.g., punishments were less harsh for violating fireworks prohibitions, fireworks consumption is heavily concentrated in just a few days or weeks per year, and illegal distribution is primarily of diverted legal products, not of illegally produced materials. The absence of hysteria over fireworks problems and policies suggests that societies can address complex tradeoffs involving risky pleasures without excessive acrimony or divisiveness when that product or activity is not construed as a vice. However, the conflicted and time-varying history of fireworks bans also show that difficulty balancing freedoms and pleasure with harms to users and others is not restricted to drugs or other vices. Use-related harms fell when fireworks were banned and rose when those bans were repealed, so fireworks prohibitions can be seen as "working" from a public health perspective, but not well enough for bans to be employed in all times or places.

Efficient hybrid digital image watermarking

Nowadays, multimedia security is a major issue. Images, video, audio, and text files lose credibility in most times, because they face several attacks related to illegal distribution, duplication, and manipulation of the information conveyed by them. Digital watermarking is an important tool for protecting digital content. This paper introduces an efficient hybrid digital image watermarking scheme. It consists of two stages of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The first one is the embedding stage, which is performed by using SVD followed by block-based SVD (B-SVD). The second stage is the extraction stage, which depends on the SVD on the whole image and then B-SVD to get the original watermarks. In this scheme, the watermarking requirements are satisfied, while capacity is increased. Furthermore, watermark detection, robustness, and security are improved. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by the correlation coefficient Cr between the original and extracted watermarks, and the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) between the original and watermarked images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a good performance, where Cr reaches 0.9975 and PSNR reaches 45.8605. It is more secure than the previous schemes, when subjected to attacks. In addition, the proposed scheme is compared to the most recent schemes, revealing its superiority.

웹툰 콘텐츠기업 투자결정 요인 연구

This study attempted to provide ideas in establishing investment strategies by analyzing the determinants of investment in domestic webtoon company. The Delphi survey method was adopted targeting investment entities of various webtoon companies. As a result of the analysis, major investment determinants considering the characteristics of the industry were the current status of securing webtoon IP, the possibility of IP expansion, flexible thinking and execution and the competence and recognition of corporate-owned artist. On the other hand, it was found that the rationality of distribution of the industry, which includes illegal distribution of webtoon, was not considered in investment determinants. These findings suggest that company should have the ability to produce high-quality content that can expand IP based on the establishment of a creative environment to attract investment. This study is meaningful in that it presented a direction to establish an environment to revitalize investment in the webtoon industry by analyzing the determinants of investment decisions in webtoon content company.

Law Enforcement On Criminal Acts Of Fuel Oil Distribution Illegally Subsided

Misuse of distribution of fuel oil (BBM) often occurs illegally, to gain individual or business entity benefits by harming the interests of the general public and the state. This act is against the law and can be subject to criminal penalties as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Gas. This type of research is empirical law using primary data obtained directly from the field through interviews with related parties, while secondary data obtained through library data in the form of primary legal materials, namely binding regulations, secondary and tertiary materials. Research results show, law enforcement against the illegal distribution of subsidized fuel oil (BBM) has never been carried out by the Central Aceh Resort Police, due to the absence of reports from the public. The efforts of police investigators in overcoming the crime of distributing subsidized fuel oil (BBM) in Central Aceh Regency, First. Supervise the distribution of subsidized fuel in cooperation with local governments, as well as coordinate with owners of Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU). Second, urge the public to report to the police if it is found that the distribution of subsidized fuel is illegal.

Child and adolescent mortality associated with pesticide toxicity in Cape Town, South Africa, 2010–2019: a retrospective case review

BackgroundPoisoning of children after exposure to pesticides is a major public health concern, particularly in countries with poorer urban populations, such as South Africa. This may stem from the illegal distribution and domestic use of street pesticides, which are highly hazardous agricultural pesticides. The aim of this study was to profile paediatric deaths due to acute pesticide poisoning in the west-metropole of Cape Town, South Africa; to identify whether the active ingredients were highly hazardous pesticides according to the FAO and WHO; and to inform policy and public health interventions to prevent future exposures and mortality.MethodsA retrospective and descriptive analysis of forensic post-mortem records (2010 to 2019) was conducted to identify cases of paediatric deaths (< 18 years old) in the west metropole of Cape Town, involving pesticide poisoning admitted to the Salt River mortuary (one out of 16 mortuaries in the Western Cape province). Demographic, circumstantial, autopsy, and toxicological information was captured. Descriptive statistics, together with chi-square tests, Fisher’s probability tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyse the data.ResultsIn total, 54 paediatric pesticide deaths were identified, including 22 (40.7%) males and 32 (59.3%) females, out of 5,181 paediatric unnatural deaths admitted over the 10-year period. The median age of the decedents was 8.3 years (range: 1 day to 17.9 years), with the majority under five years (42.6%) or between 15 and 18 years old (40.7%). All incidents occurred in peri-urban areas of Cape Town, with most individuals being admitted to hospital (88.9%) for a median survival time of 4.8 h. Toxicological analysis was requested in 50 cases (92.6%) with the organophosphate pesticides terbufos (n = 29), methamidophos (n = 2) and diazinon (n = 2) detected most frequently. Adolescent (15–18 years) suicides (29.6%) and accidental child deaths (< 4 years) (18.5%) were common.ConclusionsTerbufos and methamidophos are highly hazardous pesticide (HHP) active ingredients registered in South Africa for agricultural uses, yet commonly sold as street pesticides for domestic use in lower socioeconomic areas. Reducing access and availability of toxic pesticides, especially through the illegal selling of street pesticides, and providing low toxic alternatives to poorer communities, may support mortality reduction initiatives. Mortality and toxicology data provide important, often overlooked, surveillance tools for informing policy and public health interventions to reduce toxic pesticide harm in local communities.
