UPDATE: Nov. 22, 2023, 11:27 a.m. EST This post has been updated with the latest MacBook deals, including the latest discount on the M3 and M3 Pro MacBooks. Here are our favorite early Black Friday MacBook deals as of Nov. 22: Best Black Friday MacBook deals Best MacBook deal for creatives 15-inch MacBook Air (M2, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,249 at Amazon and Best Buy (Save $150) Get Deal Best MacBook deal under $1,000 2022 MacBook Air (M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $949 at Best Buy and B&H (Save $150) Get Deal Best new MacBook deal 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,449 at Best Buy and Amazon (Save $150) Get Deal It's no secret that Apple MacBooks aren't the cheapest laptops out there — especially with the release of the $7,199-plus MacBook Pro. While that particular model hasn't gone on sale just yet, plenty of other early Black Friday MacBook deals are already live — including a good portion of the latest M3 line. Though you'll probably have minimal trouble picking up a discounted MacBook on the actual day of Black Friday on Nov. 24 or Cyber Monday on Nov. 27, there are plenty of options worth checking out ahead of the holiday. SEE ALSO: The best early Black Friday laptop deals 2023: Sales have already started at Best Buy, Dell, and beyond Most configurations of the 15-inch MacBook Air that came out in 2023 are on sale for at least $250 off. You'll also see savings on newer and older MacBook Pros, as well as M1 and M2 iMacs and Mac minis, respectively. You can check out all the discounts live so far below. Mac and MacBook deals Opens in a new window Credit: Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,449 at Best Buy and Amazon (save $150) Get Deal Why we like itThe M3 lineup of Macs and MacBooks was announced just a few weeks ago, and they're already getting their second markdown. While the first sale allowed exclusive access to paid My Best Buy members, this deal is for everyone — and it's available at Amazon, too (with an on-page coupon). At $150, this is the lowest price this MacBook has hit so far. With this MacBook's upgrades, you can expect lightning-fast speeds, a spacious 14 inches of display that doesn't come with a $2,000-plus premium, and finally, no touchbar. If you're into an even higher-powered machine, you'll also find the 14-inch and 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pros on sale. Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: 15-inch MacBook Air (M2, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $1,249 at Amazon and Best Buy Get Deal Why we like itCheck out our full review of the 15-inch MacBook Air. The 15-inch MacBook Air is an official recipient of a Mashable Choice award. Why? Its M2 processor will power you through everyday tasks to multimedia editing with ease and gives you the proper display space to actually do it. Its long-lasting battery life doesn't hurt either. Though it's not quite as light and portable as the rest of the Air line, it's an exceptional upgrade pick that doesn't quite reach the $2,000-plus heights of the Pro line. Though the 256GB model is also on sale, the power and display size of this laptop is best suited for the creative person who will probably appreciate the extra built-in storage. Grab it on sale at Amazon (with an on-page coupon) and Best Buy. Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: 2022 MacBook Air (M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $949 at Best Buy and B&H (save $150) Get Deal Why we like itCheck out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air. If you're looking for a zippy work-from-home machine or the perfect school companion, look no further. Though Apple did just release the new M3 chip to its iMac and MacBook lineup, the M2 is still plenty powerful. You'll also get 13.6 inches of display (as opposed to the 13.3 inches of the previous gen Air), a near-perfect keyboard, and best of all, this laptop is just $50 away from its lowest price ever. Grab it from Best Buy or B&H.

A quick look at the best Black Friday Sonos speaker deals: BEST SPEAKER DEAL Sonos Era 100 $199 at Sonos (save $50) Get Deal BEST SPLURGE Immersive Music Set with 2 x Era 300 $853 at Sonos (save $45) Get Deal BEST FOR TRAVEL Sonos Roam $134 at Sonos (save $45) Get Deal BEST SOUNDBAR DEAL Sonos Beam (Gen 2) $399 at Sonos (save $100) Get Deal From the stylish and portable Roam speaker to the sleek and compact Beam soundbar, we're huge fans of the extensive audio collection Sonos has to offer. One thing we're not so fond of, though, is the extravagant pricing. Sonos, like other high quality brands (think Apple or Dyson), rarely offers sales. Black Friday is one of the only exceptions. So, needless to say, we've had our eyes peeled for deals on Sonos speakers, soundbars, and other audio systems. While Walmart and Best Buy have sweet discounts on some of our favorite Sonos speakers, the best place to snag a Sonos deal is — drumroll, please — at Sonos' own website. For Black Friday, Sonos is running a Black Friday sale of its own with up to 25% off speakers, home theater systems, and bundles. Below, we've rounded up the best of the best Black Friday Sonos deals that are live. Check back regularly — we'll be updating the list as any new deals roll in. Note: All newly added deals are marked with a , while deals with a have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Black Friday Sonos speaker deals Opens in a new window Credit: Sonos Our pick: Sonos Era 100 $199 at Sonos (save $50) Get Deal Why we like itJust released earlier this year, this is the first discount ever for the Sonos Era 100. The Era 100 is a direct replacement for the Sonos One, which is no longer in the official Sonos lineup. While it looks similar to the One, the Era 100 is slightly taller, has refreshed controls on top with a capacitive volume control and a new button to turn off the voice assistant. Not to mention — and this is the kicker — it has two tweeters and can produce a stereo sound on its own, unlike its predecessor. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer spatial audio, though. You'll need the Era 300 for that, which is $200 more. Save $50 for Black Friday and snag the Sonos Era 100 for just under $200 at Sonos or Best Buy.

UPDATE: Nov. 22, 2023, 1:00 p.m. EST This story has been updated with more of our favorite Black Friday deals across a variety of retailers.

That includes discounts even better than Amazon's well-hyped fall Prime Day deals. But most retailers have a generous definition of "Black Friday" nowadays: It's more like a season than a 24-hour, post-Thanksgiving festivity. And many "early Black Friday deals" that start popping up in early November can be worth adding to your cart — if only to avoid availability headaches down the road.

When cassette recorders, VCRs and similar devices hit the mainstream, entertainment companies with business models reliant on customers buying copies faced uncertainty. The fear of consumer copies was encapsulated by the now-famous words of the MPAA’s Jack Valenti: “The VCR is to the American film producer, as the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone,” Valenti said. With the benefit of hindsight the VCR did more to help than it did to hinder but still, copying carried out privately in the home was considered a major threat with few enforcement options. Private Copying Levy Valenti’s statement in 1982 reached a broad audience but its essence wasn’t new. The potential for blank media to undermine the creative industries saw Germany introduce a levy in 1966, usurping the exclusive reproduction right with a right to equitable remuneration. In 1985, France introduced “remuneration for private copying” to ensure that rightsholders were compensated for any harms caused by private copying of their works. A levy was placed on sales of blank media such as cassette tapes but as technology progressed, the levy became applicable to CDs and other recordable media. Today, smartphones are the main source of private copying revenue which according to figures from 2021, now generates around €300 million per year for rightsholders. Pushback Begins While an annual boost of €300 million is good news for the beneficiaries, some believe the levy system is outdated and unnecessarily opaque. Since the price of a mobile phone 64GB and above is inflated by roughly 17 euros, whether anything is copied on the device or not, some have described the levy as anti-consumer too. Compensation is paid to rightsholders through the company Copie France, at rates decided by a committee consisting of rightsholders, manufacturers of recording media, and consumers. A French government report on private copying compensation published in October 2022 (pdf) offered several proposals for improvement. Noting that the rightsholders themselves provide usage statistics, using methods dating back a decade, calculation methods need to be updated transparently to reflect the reality of private copying today, in a market dominated by streaming. French Politician Responds to Government Report A L’Informe report published Monday reveals proposals from Member of Parliament Philippe Latombe in response to the government’s report. Latombe’s first proposal is to transfer the decisions on how much levy is applied to each medium into the hands of the government. “[I]n the same way as the finance law or the social security financing law, parliamentarians must be decision-makers and accountable to our fellow citizens,” the politician explains. Latombe isn’t proposing the end of the existing panel (Private Copying Commission) but says its role should be to propose rates to parliament. L’Informe notes that the panel would also be prevented from initiating usage studies carried out by private companies at the levy fund’s expense. Instead, that work should be carried out by telecoms regulator, Arcom. People Pay Levy Who Shouldn’t, Devices Shouldn’t Incur Levy Twice The MP also criticizes the current system where the levy is collected on smartphones and tablets at the point of import, something that forces professional end buyers not liable to pay the levy, to enter a process to try and claim the excess back. Overpayments are currently estimated at between 40 and 50 million euros, so there are calls to simplify the process and ensure quicker refunds. Latombe’s third proposal is to exempt smartphones and tablets reconditioned in France, currently subjected to a levy of 10 euros per unit. This would not only promote the use of the recycling market, protect the environment and create jobs, but would also ensure that devices would remain accessible to the socially disadvantaged.

Popular Internet infrastructure service Cloudflare serves millions of customers and provides a variety of connectivity and privacy features to the general public. People can freely use the company’s open DNS resolver 1.1.1.1, for example, or use its IPFS and Ethereum gateways to access content on these decentralized web services. One of Cloudflare’s main aims is to make the Internet more secure while respecting the privacy of its users. This laudable goal is broadly respected but in common with other internet services, abuse of Cloudflare’s services can lead to conflicting situations. The California-based company previously terminated service to controversial sites including the Daily Stormer and Kiwi Farms. These actions were taken voluntarily, with Cloudflare citing an immediate threat to human life as the reason for the Kiwi Farms intervention. Domain Blocking In addition to these rare events, the Internet infrastructure company is also subject to court orders from around the globe. In some cases, these orders require the company to block access to piracy-related domain names. Cloudflare mentions these blocking orders in its latest transparency report which covers the second half of 2022. The report doesn’t mention the number of court orders or blocked domains, but it confirms that Cloudflare complies with legitimate legal rulings. “If we determine that the order is valid and requires Cloudflare action, we may limit blocking of access to the content to those areas where it violates local law, a practice known as ‘geo-blocking’,” Cloudflare writes. DNS Blocking DNS blocking orders apply locally and shouldn’t affect people in other countries. However, things got more complicated recently when an Italian court required Cloudflare to restrict access to three torrent sites through its public DNS resolver 1.1.1.1. Cloudflare fiercely objected to the order but ultimately lost the legal battle. That left the company with no other option than to take action. But, instead of blocking content through its global DNS resolver, it geo-blocked the domains for Italians. “To the extent that those websites used Cloudflare services, Cloudflare took steps following the issuance of the order to disable access to those websites for users in Italy or from Cloudflare equipment in Italy. “Cloudflare took action to geoblock all three domains that were addressed by the court’s order and were using our service at the time the orders were issued via Cloudflare’s pass-through CDN and security services,” the company added. IPFS and Ethereum Restrictions In its most recent transparency report, Cloudflare further notes that it has implemented access restrictions on its public Ethereum gateway. The company doesn’t store any content on the Ethereum network, nor can it remove any. However, it can block access through its service. If Cloudflare receives valid abuse reports or copyright infringement complaints, it will take appropriate action. The same applies to the gateway for the decentralized IPFS network. In its previous transparency report, Cloudflare already mentioned more than 1,000 IPFS actions a figure that increased slightly in the second half of last year. At the same time, Cloudflare also restricted access to 99 ‘items’ on the Ethereum network. Since these are ‘gateway’ related restrictions there’s no impact on the content hosted on IPFS or Ethereum. Instead, it will only make it impossible to access content through Cloudflare’s service. It’s not clear how many of these restrictions are abuse or copyright-related, as not much context is provided. The Ethereum actions are, at least in part, a response to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s sanctions against the cryptocurrency tumbler Tornado Cash. “Those sanctions raise significant legal questions about the extent to which particular computer software, rather than individuals or entities that use that software, can be subject to sanctions,” Cloudflare writes. “Nonetheless, to comply with legal requirements, Cloudflare has taken steps to disable access through the Cloudflare-operated Ethereum Gateway to the digital currency addresses identified in the designation.” DMCA Notices and Subpoenas There are more obvious copyright responses as well. While Cloudflare generally doesn’t block content in response to DMCA notices for customers that use its CDN services, it does remove infringing content permanently hosted on its servers. These hosting services have expanded over the years and the same is true for the volume of valid DMCA notices received, up from 18 to 972 in the span of a year, as shown below. That’s still a fairly modest number for a company with millions of customers. Finally, Cloudflare reports that the number of civil subpoenas, including those issued under the DMCA, has decreased. Rightsholders including the Motion Picture Association (MPA) typically use these requests to obtain identifying information about Cloudflare customers. In the second half of last year, the company received 20 civil subpoenas which targeted 57 domain names. That’s the lowest number since Cloudflare first disclosed this statistic five years ago, signaling a downward trend. — A copy of Cloudflare’s latest Transparency Report is available here (pdf) From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.

According to data published by the UK’s Office for National Statistics, UK residents made 15.6 million visits to Spain in 2022, with holidays the most popular reason. Whether Brits are on a two-week vacation or embedded within the ex-pat community, there’s a tendency to appreciate things less available at home, sunshine in particular. For many, however, a longing for British things has created opportunities for those prepared to meet the demand. By offering BBC and ITV channels, for example, pirate IPTV services have become very popular indeed but since the packages offer much more, they’re almost a must for bars and restaurants in tourist areas. Social Media Sales Attract Attention According to information released by Spain’s National Police on Monday, a broadcaster’s representative filed a complaint after spotting a profile on social media platforms offering pirate IPTV subscriptions. Those packages granted access to sporting events to which the broadcaster holds the rights. Officers assigned to the Technological Crimes Group of the Provincial Judicial Police Brigade of Alicante launched an investigation to identify the person behind those accounts. Investigation: Key Findings Benidorm is a seaside resort on Spain’s east coast. It’s a popular destination for tourists from the UK, including those who enjoy watching live football at local bars, often courtesy of IPTV packages. Police investigators say they located several ads offering the subscriptions for sale. In one of the ads it was claimed that the person offering them had been “supplying IPTV to bars and restaurants in Benidorm for ten years, with support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Police say the subscriptions were on sale for as little as £7 up to a maximum of £50, presumably based on subscription length and the content on offer. At least one package provided access to 594 channels, including those belonging to the broadcaster behind the original complaint. Other findings led investigators to conclude that the person offering the subscriptions was from the UK and his target audience likely consisted of English speakers in Spain. “During the investigation, police officers verified that the payments made were destined for a bank account in the United Kingdom and, in addition to sporting events, offered access to English, Scottish and Irish channels. For this reason, the audience to which the television offer was directed was of British or English-speaking origin,” police reveal. “After various police efforts, the agents verified that the person who seemed to be behind the scheme was a British citizen who was linked to various bank accounts and who had his own Internet server to offer the services. The man had a home address in Benidorm and made continuous trips from the United Kingdom to the Alicante town.” Policía Nacional Arrest Brit in Benidorm After obtaining permission from a local court, police raided the man’s home in Benidorm. During the search, officers found two IPTV devices, a mobile phone, and a laptop. It’s alleged that an application open on the laptop allowed the man to control the IPTV services he offered on social media and at the time of the police intervention, he was offering several dozen, including some in Spain. An inspection of the suspect’s mobile phone revealed various apps for accessing “banking entities” in the UK. Officers were only able to access one of those apps but found that the suspect had made transactions worth over £9,500. Many additional transactions were found by other means. “[A]fter the officers of the Technological Crimes Group analyzed a payment platform through which the detainee charged for subscriptions, they verified that the person involved had allegedly received nearly 5,500 payments for the subscriptions, the majority in pounds sterling and about 200 payments in euros. The amount exceeded 185,000 pounds sterling and about 6,500 euros,” police note. “Market and Consumer” Offenses Police say a 62-year-old British man stands accused of intellectual property offenses, specifically those related to the market and consumers. That terminology suggests an eye on events back in 2019 that didn’t go exactly to plan. Following complaints by top-tier football league, LaLiga, more than 50 people in the Alicante area appeared in court for showing LaLiga matches in bars and restaurants either via illegal IPTV packages, or official subscriptions designed for residential use. After some of those individuals were found guilty, a criminal court in Alicante found that showing the matches in public wasn’t an intellectual property crime. That led to acquittals and the reversal of earlier guilty verdicts on the basis that “football does not have the character of a literary, scientific or artistic work” so copyright did not apply. Cases against several bars in Valencia also failed to convince the court of intellectual property crimes. Instead, the court found that a minor crime related to the market and consumers had been committed. From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more. View the full article
