Kim Dotcom: The Man Behind Megaupload

Published on Jan 5, 2014


In October 2013, VICE News was invited to visit the infamous tech mogul and creator of Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, at his palatial property in New Zealand. Even though Kim is under house arrest—since he's at the center of history's largest copyright case—he's still able to visit a recording studio in Auckland. So check out this brand new documentary we made at Kim's mega-mansion and in the studio where our host, Tim Pool, got to lay down some backup vocals for Kim's upcoming EDM album while talking about online surveillance, file-sharing, and Kim's controversial case.

Experiencing Psychosis with Digital LSD

Published on Nov 5, 2013
In 2005, artist Jennifer Kanary's sister-in-law committed suicide while suffering from a psychotic episode. This event led Jennifer to develop Labyrinth Psychotica, an experience designed to give people more insight into how it feels to suffer through psychosis.

Users are strapped into virtual reality gear and transported into the mind of a psychotic girl named Jamie. The whole experience lasts twelve minutes, during which 'normal' reality gets increasingly intertwined with Jamie's psychotic reality, making it more and more difficult to distinguish between what's real and what's not.

Internet Scamming in Ghana

Fraudsters in Ghana show us how they use internet scams to steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims all over the globe.
--
While Nigeria's 401 scammers may have written the book on West African internet fraud, their shtick looks like Compuserve compared to what's going on in Ghana. Unsatisfied with the meager winnings from emailing thousands of random Westerners in hopes of convincing one poor sap they're the treasurer of the Ivory Coast, Ghana's scammers decided to stack the odds in their favor the old-fashioned way—witchcraft.

Taking a page from cyberpunk, traditional West African Juju priests adapted their services to the needs of the information age and started leading down-on-their-luck internet scammers through strange and costly rituals designed to increase their powers of persuasion and make their emails irresistible to greedy Americans. And so "Sakawa" was born.

Now not only is Sakawa Ghana's most popular youth activity and one of its biggest underground economies, it's a full-blown national phenomenon. Sakawa has its own tunes, clothing brands, Sakawasploitation flicks, and even a metastatic backlash from Christian preachers and the press. When we were in Accra over the summer it was impossible to walk more than 10 feet without seeing the word Sakawa in blood-red Misfits letters on a poster or tabloid, often accompanied by bone-chilling horrors of the photoshopped variety.

The government is freaked out because Sakawa is threatening Ghana's business reputation, the Christians are freaked out because they're losing money to the Juju priests, the press is freaked out because being freaked out is what sells papers, and the public is freaked out because their government, preacher, and media are all telling them they should be. All the while the Sakawa boys are living the high life and racking up debts to the spirit world, just waiting for the axe to fall.

Shocking Crimes That The Internet Solved

Published on Apr 7, 2015
Criminals who were caught with the help of the online community.
Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/9CwQhg

Description:
The Internet is truly one of the most amazing innovations of our society today. From social media, and engaging in the world of information and learning. There isn’t anything that you can do on the Internet that remains a secret these days. With the government tracking online activity, and fellow community members able to conduct research on others, it can be hard to do something online and expect to get away with it, especially these days. This includes crime. The people who are breaking the law and are of immoral character seem to suffer under the sin of vanity, meaning that they can’t stay quiet about their crimes. Once their bragging is posted online, millions of people are able to track the perpetrator and report it to police. Sometimes, the best detectives are regular people who hang out behind the computer screen.
Celia Blay solved a case after she was browsing the Internet and found a suicide newsgroup. There, she discovered that there were plans for a mass suicide pact. Blay tried to report the pact to police, but they showed little interest in the case, so she did her own investigation and digging. She befriended and started looking into a suspicious user by the name of “Li Dao”, who claimed to be a young woman with suicidal tendencies. However, Blay discovered that Li Dao was actually a middle aged man by the name of William Melchert-Dinkel, who was convicted of assisting suicides after showing numerous people how to hang themselves via webcam. William’s desires of playing God with the lives of people were over thanks to Celia Blay.
Of course, if there is any group that has made solving crimes via Internet a true art form, it is the hacktivist group, “Anonymous”. After declaring war on pedophiles and online predators in 2011, Anonymous have brought down over 41 pedophile websites and reported over 1,500 names of predators to the FBI for further investigation. Anonymous is still going strong to this day, making the Internet a safer place thanks to their vigilante techniques.
Social media has also had a big hand in solving crimes. After a hate crime against a gay couple occurred, media outlets released the surveillance footage, hoping that the public could help police identify the people in the video. Luckily, Twitter users rose to the occasion and began retweeting the video and sharing it all over the Internet. Eventually, someone was able to identify the people in the video after they checked into the location on Facebook, and they were arrested and brought to justice.
Then we have crooks that accidentally report themselves. For example, Randy Schaefer discovered that his truck was broken into, and $5,000 cash and his iPad were stolen. Randy was going to try to move on from the incident, until he noticed that the robbers were recording videos and taking pictures with the iPad, unaware that it was being uploaded to Randy’s iCloud account. The police eventually caught up with the crooks and they were arrested.
For more crimes that the Internet solved, check out the rest of this video, and be ready to face palm yourself, as some of the perpetrators in this video surely did some terrible and stupid things that pretty much gave themselves away.
