MovieX, a very large BitTorrent site which made the headlines last year for its controversial tracker policy, has been shut down by Australian police. The site, thought to have as many as 400,000 users, is being blamed for the ‘transfer’ of 14 million movies and TV shows. So far, two people have been arrested.

Last year, semi-private BitTorrent site MovieX hit the headlines after it was accused of diverting upload bandwidth from users of The Pirate Bay, to its own tracker. Non-members of MovieX were allowed to upload to MovieX members but were not allowed to download from them. This move wasn’t appreciated by a large proportion of the BitTorrent community.

Today, the site has bigger things to worry about. A press release from AFACT, (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft) has proclaimed the death of a huge site, but stopped short of naming it.

TorrentFreak can now exclusively reveal that the site in question was MovieX. The domain currently displays this message:

We are temporarily offline.

Currently there is NO ETA AVAILABLE

@ADMINISTRATORS: PLEASE CONTACT DEV0 ASAP! ASK AROUND OTHER ADMINS IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.

According to Australian Federal Police who shut down the site following an AFACT investigation, two Brisbane men from the same family - a 21 year-old and a 27 year-old (thought to be brothers) were arrested yesterday.

A bank account containing around AUS$54,000 (US $35,000) was frozen after the police alleged the money was proceeds from the site. Investigators close to the inquiry claim the site generated around AUS$10,000 (US $6,450) each month, with many users donating $10 a month for VIP access to direct-download material, which was separate from the site’s BitTorrent tracker. Other bank accounts connected to the site are currently under investigation. Computer equipment was also seized with a storage capacity of 2 terabytes.

“BitTorrent is a legitimate and efficient software for sharing files but, like any tool, it can be misused,” noted Neil Gane, AFACT’s Director of Operations.

Andrew Traucki who directed the Aussie movie Black Water has been getting in on the action, “applauding” the closure of the site. “Being a low budget film I didn’t get paid much and hoped to make some money for all my effort from the films’ sales. The fact that Black Water had been pirated and was online within days of being finished is upsetting. How are Australian film producers like me meant to make a living from our films if people pirate the film and watch it for free?”

However, although the movie was available for download via MovieX, things probably aren’t as bad as Traucki is now making out. As recently as August this year, Traucki said that he was delighted with the success of the movie, telling DVDindustry, “We wanted to make a film with international appeal and obviously we’ve succeeded,” going on to note that the movie had enjoyed “a remarkable sales ride”.

Penalties for commercial copyright crimes in Australia can amount to $60,000 and 5 years in jail for each offense.

More on this story as we get it.

div class='rss_texte'p class=spipstrong class=spipComment a évolué la protection sociale en France depuis les années 1990 ?/strong/p p class=spipLes tendances sont multiples et contradictoires. Je constate un triple mouvement./p p class=spipLe premier est une accentuation du poids des contraintes financières sur les risques traditionnels (maladie, retraite, etc.), qui a conduit à des mesures habituelles de rééquilibrage telles que la hausse des cotisations ou la diminution des prestations, ainsi qu'à un appel affiché à la responsabilité des assurés./p p class=spipLe deuxième temps est la prise de conscience de la nécessité de nouveaux modes de couverture pour respecter les droits fondamentaux avec la création de la couverture maladie universelle (CMU) ou du droit au logement opposable (DALO), voire d'un éventuel droit opposable à la garde d'enfant. Cependant les réponses apportées ne sont pas complètement convaincantes. Ainsi, la CMU complémentaire couvre les personnes les plus précaires mais en exclut d'autres en difficulté qui dépassent le plafond d'éligibilité [a href=http://www.inegalites.fr/#nb1 name=nh1 id=nh1 class=spip_note title='[1] 620 euros par mois pour un célibataire' 1/a]. Par ailleurs, le DALO n'est qu'un droit à déclencher une procédure contre les pouvoirs publics. De plus, ces interventions sont inadaptées à des marchés contraints par l'offre comme l'illustrent le manque de spécialistes qui ne pratiquent pas de dépassements d'honoraires ou le déficit de logements./p p class=spipEnfin, le dernier mouvement est la prise en compte élargie et renouvelée pour la protection sociale de la solvabilisation de l'achat de prestations en nature. Avec l'aide à l'autonomie des personnes âgées ou handicapées ou les aides à la garde d'enfant, l'accent est mis sur la liberté d'acquérir et d'adapter un panier de prestations correspondant à des besoins individuels reconnus./p p class=spipFinalement, on est loin du simple « retranchement » de l'Etat providence évoqué par Paul Pierson [a href=http://www.inegalites.fr/#nb2 name=nh2 id=nh2 class=spip_note title='[2] Paul Pierson Dismantling the welfare state ? Reagan, Thatcher and the (...)' 2/a]. Le retrait sur certains risques est compensé par la prise en charge de nouveaux droits, mais de façon souvent incomplète et insatisfaisante./p p class=spipL'importance est souvent dans les détails des dispositifs. Par exemple, l'idée de bouclier sanitaire, qui consiste à plafonner les dépenses maladies des assurés en proportion de leur revenu porte un nom attrayant mais il peut changer totalement de nature selon ce qu'il couvre ou non./p p class=spipstrong class=spipEn matière de santé, y a-t-il un désengagement de la Sécurité sociale ? /strong/p p class=spipParadoxalement, les assurances sociales couvrent la même proportion des dépenses de santé depuis 1980 malgré une légère diminution depuis 2004 (77 % en 2007). Mais cette moyenne s'est maintenue du fait de la prise en charge à 100 % des malades chroniques et graves dont la prévalence augmente et pour lesquels le coût des traitements est souvent très cher. Ce qui a compensé les déremboursements que supportent les autres patients. En outre, les frais hospitaliers restent bien pris en charge./p p class=spipstrong class=spipQuels sont les impacts de ces évolutions sur les inégalités de niveau de vie ?/strong/p p class=spipSi l'on prend l'exemple des retraites, la réforme Balladur de 1993 a eu, comme l'a montré la Cnav [a href=http://www.inegalites.fr/#nb3 name=nh3 id=nh3 class=spip_note title='[3] Caisse nationale d#39;assurance vieillesse' 3/a], pour effet de baisser le niveau des retraites qui sont calculées sur les 25 meilleures années au lieu de 10 ans auparavant. Mais cela n'implique pas forcément une baisse du niveau de vie des ménages. La durée de vie en couple s'allonge avec la convergence des espérances de vie entre les sexes et les femmes ont souvent eu une carrière professionnelle qui leur donnera droit à des retraites personnelles plus importantes./p p class=spipEn matière de santé, le transfert de la couverture vers les complémentaires (mutuelles, assurances, institutions de prévoyance) et l'instauration des franchises médicales posent des problèmes d'équité et d'efficacité. Manie-t-on le bon instrument pour responsabiliser l'assuré ? Les franchises sur les médicaments n'ont pas en ce domaine les mêmes propriétés que l'incitation à l'utilisation des génériques ou le forfait de 18 euros sur les actes lourds. L'usager n'a pas le même degré de liberté de choix. Un facteur très discriminant dans la protection apportée par les complémentaires est, en outre, la prise en charge des dépassements d'honoraires./p p class=spipstrong class=spipL'égalité d'accès aux soins est-elle une réalité en France ?/strong/p p class=spipEn cas de problème grave, l'hôpital assure une bonne prise en charge et dans des conditions financièrement égalitaires. Des nuances sont à apporter avec le forfait journalier et certains tickets modérateurs pour les hospitalisations longues ou récurrentes mais ceux-ci sont souvent pris en charge par les mutuelles./p p class=spipL'un des problèmes concerne la répartition géographique de l'offre de soins. Certaines régions sont largement sous-dotées mais même lorsque l'offre est présente elle n'est pas toujours accessible financièrement pour les ménages modestes. Ils y a des départements où les spécialistes pratiquent en grande majorité des dépassements d'honoraires./p p class=spipNous sommes dans un système à triple étage. Les cas les plus lourds sont pris en charge à 100 % par la Sécurité sociale (actes lourds, affectations de longue durée). Les consommations de services plus « légers » ont tendance à être laissés, et parfois par segments entiers (optique, dentaire), aux mutuelles et autres complémentaires santé, dans des conditions inégalitaires, et parfois dérégulées pour les dispositifs médicaux comme le notait le Haut Conseil pour l'avenir de l'assurance maladie. Enfin, la CMU maintient un filet de sécurité pour les plus pauvres./p p class=spipOr, si la CMU complémentaire s'avère être plutôt efficace pour limiter les renoncements aux soins, elle se heurte à un problème de ciblage. Son seuil d'éligibilité exclut une partie des personnes en difficulté et l'aide à l'acquisition d'une mutuelle pour les ménages modestes n'atteint pas son public potentiel car elle n'en compense pas suffisamment le coût./p p class=spipDe plus, les bénéficiaires de la CMU sont parfois en butte à des refus de soins. Plusieurs enquêtes l'indiquent. D'autres études mettent aussi en lumière un phénomène de concentration de ces patients chez des médecins pratiquant dans des zones où vivent de nombreux bénéficiaires de la CMU. Les titulaires de la CMU les consultent même s'ils n'habitent pas forcément ces zones, parce qu'ils savent qu'ils seront reçus plus volontiers./p p class=spipEn outre, il y a de fortes disparités de prises en charge entre les complémentaires et, généralement, les plus onéreuses offrent de meilleures prestations. D'après la Drees [a href=http://www.inegalites.fr/#nb4 name=nh4 id=nh4 class=spip_note title='[4] Direction des études du ministère de la santé' 4/a], tous les contrats souscrits couvrent généralement le forfait hospitalier, le ticket modérateur sur les médicaments, mais la différence se situe surtout dans la prise en charge des frais optiques et dentaires et des dépassements d'honoraires./p p class=spipstrong class=spipOn entend beaucoup parler de « responsabilisation » des assurés avec l'instauration des franchises médicales par exemple mais sont-ils les seuls en cause ?/strong/p p class=spipIl existe une asymétrie d'information entre les assurés et les offreurs de soin dans un marché où l'offre peut parfois induire la demande. Les tentatives de responsabilisation financière sont problématiques lorsque les patients ne peuvent réellement choisir./p p class=spipCe raisonnement vaut aussi pour l'âge de la retraite ou les préretraites : c'est l'employeur le plus souvent qui décide. L'incitation des entreprises à préserver l'emploi des travailleurs âgés est insuffisante. La dernière contrainte qui existait, la contribution Delalande sur les licenciements des seniors, a pourtant été supprimée le 1er janvier 2008./p p class=spipDe même, pour les chômeurs et les allocataires de minima sociaux, leur responsabilisation par la dégressivité des allocations est souvent inefficace car ils se heurtent à bien d'autres problèmes : un déficit de qualification, un manque d'offre de postes adaptés, des difficultés de logement, de transport et de garde d'enfant, ainsi qu'une absence d'engagement des pouvoirs publics à leur proposer des solutions adaptées./p p class=spipAu final, les incitations financières ont des limites très importantes et pèsent souvent sur les plus fragiles./p p class=spipstrong class=spipLa protection sociale et notamment les aides aux familles sont-elles encore redistributives ?/strong/p p class=spipUne étude du ministère de la santé montrait effectivement que familles reçoivent une d'aide par enfant plus élevée lorsqu'elles sont modestes ou aisées en raison, d'une part, des prestations sous condition de ressource et, d'autre part, du mécanisme de quotient familial respectivement. La figure qui représente le montant accordé par enfant suit une forme en U./p p class=spipCeci rejoint un débat de fond sur le coût de l'enfant. D'un coté, certains jugent normal que la compensation se fasse en fonction des capacités contributives. Par convention statistique, le coût de l'enfant est plus élevé à mesure que les revenus de la famille sont importants. De l'autre, je crois que le système pèche car il n'y a pas d'allocation au 1er enfant et il est moins redistributif qu'un système de subvention forfaitaire par enfant./p p class=spipEn fait, on retrouve ce même type de courbe en U partout où il y a des exonérations fiscales, comme dans le cas de la dépendance des personnes âgées. En effet, au-delà d'un revenu de 2,5 fois le Smic les avantages fiscaux prennent le relais de l'aide personnalisée à l'autonomie qui est dégressive selon le revenu./p p class=spipMais plus globalement, notre système de prélèvements et de prestations sociales est incontestablement redistributif. L'impôt sur le revenu reste le mécanisme le plus redistributif, parce que progressif malgré ses limites. D'après l'Insee, il contribue pour un tiers à la réduction des inégalités de revenus obtenue par l'ensemble des transferts sociaux et fiscaux./p p class=spipPropos recueillis par Noam Leandri./p p class=spipMireille Elbaum est professeure au CNAM, ancienne directrice des études économiques et statistiques au ministère de la santé.

It is also designed to show that Labour would help middle Britain through the recession./ppBrown's surprise move came amid reports that without the government's intervention, repossessions were set to increase to 75,000 next year, hitting levels last seen in 1991, the worst year of the previous recession./ppEight banks and building societies, covering 70% of the mortgage market, have agreed to allow families struggling with mortgage payments the right to defer all, or part, of their interest payments for two years. The government will underwrite the scheme./ppBrown's surprise was sprung during the debate on a relatively sparse Queen's speech and followed secret Treasury talks with the building societies and banks. Many details, including the qualification rules, have yet to be finalised but officials denied the institutions had been bounced into a premature agreement to provide Brown with some gloss on a grey Queen's speech, which was almost overshadowed yesterday by the war of words between police and parliament over the raids on Conservative MP Damian Green's office./ppThe prime minister said the scheme would cover any household which suffered a redundancy or "significant loss of income". This would, for the first time, extend help to households where one family member loses their job and the other remains in work./ppThe Treasury plans for the scheme to apply to mortgages up to £400,000, and would probably kick in where the applicants have savings of less than £16,000./ppThe government has estimated that the cost of guaranteeing the delayed mortgage payments would add a £1bn contingent liability to government borrowing, but only cost £100m directly in eventual defaults. Building societies and banks would act as gatekeepers of the scheme, deciding whether the request to defer mortgage payments was justified. No definition of "a significant loss of income" was provided yesterday, but government officials said it might cover someone forced to take a less well-paid job or less in overtime./ppTreasury officials said the numbers liable for help would not be so large as to damage the mortgage insurance industry. The help was designed to lift the fear of repossession for those facing job insecurity. Those in safe jobs were going to enjoy falling mortgages, officials said./ppThe move comes as the Bank of England is expected to cut its base rate today. The markets expect a cut of one to two percentage points from the current rate of 3%. A cut of 1.5 points would take the rate lower than it has been since the Bank was formed in 1694./ppBrown told MPs: "Hardworking households that experience a redundancy or severe loss of income as a result of the downturn will be able to defer a proportion of their interest payments for up to two years as they get their family finances back on track."/ppThe Council of Mortgage Lenders said: "It is not a charter for 'won't pay' borrowers to avoid their responsibilities, but it will provide welcome reassurance to the vast majority of borrowers that the government and lenders are doing all they can ... to help those customers who 'can't pay' due to a change in circumstances."/ppBrown said the measure was in addition to protection for the unemployed, who can claim help to meet interest payments after 13 weeks./ppTreasury officials said banks and building societies would not suffer a serious loss of income as a result of the deferment. Brown also confirmed that the code on how banks treat business would be put on a statutory basis. Banks who fell foul of the code could face a range of sanctions, including fines./ppA total of 14 bills were revealed in the Queen's speech yesterday, including two carried over from the previous parliament. Overall, it represented the shortest legislative programme since the government came to power./ppThe programme takes in a new constitution for the NHS, confirmation of a right to seek flexible working for parents, and wider sanctions on the unemployed to make themselves "job ready". There was also a clamp down on "all you can drink" offers in pubs as well as lapdancing and prostitution in what one government official described as "action on the whole night out". Health department officials denied ministers had dropped plans to ban cigarette machines./ppBut internal disputes led to a delay in the constitutional reform bill, seen in 2007 as Brown's flagship legislation./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/queens-speech"Queen's speech/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/gordon-brown"Gordon Brown/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/mortgages"Mortgages/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/firsttimebuyers"First-time buyers/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/houseprices"House prices/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/consumeraffairs"Consumer affairs/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/statebenefits"State benefits/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/economy"Economic policy/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/creditcrunch"Credit crunch/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/debt"Borrowing debt/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/welfare"Welfare/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/housingmarket"Housing market/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/bMuhgms9lowiSc8bfIakg8zQ8y4/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/bMuhgms9lowiSc8bfIakg8zQ8y4/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

Motivation: A genome-wide ChIP-chip tiling array study requires millions of simultaneous comparisons of hybridization for significance. Controlling the false positive rate in genome-wide tiling array studies is very important, because the number of computationally identified regions can easily go beyond the capability of experimental verification. No accurate and efficient method exists for evaluating statistical significance in tiling arrays. The Bonferroni method is overly conservative and the permutation test is time consuming for genome-wide studies.

Result: Motivated by the Poisson clumping heuristic, we propose an accurate and efficient method for evaluating statistical significance in genome-wide ChIP-chip tiling arrays. The method works accurately for any large number of multiple comparisons, and the computational cost for evaluating P-values does not increase with the total number of tests. Based on a moving window approach, we demonstrate how to combine results using various window sizes to increase the detection power while maintaining a specified type I error rate. We further introduce a new false discovery rate control that is more appropriate in measuring the false proportion of binding intervals in tiling array analysis. Our method is general and can be applied to many large-scale genomic and genetic studies.

But clauses in some tracker mortgages will mean lenders no longer have to pass on the cut to their customers, while those on standard variable rate (SVR) deals are also unlikely to benefit from the full reduction./ppDespite the fact that tracker deals automatically move up and down in line with the base rate, some have so-called floors or collars which state that lenders will stop passing on rate cuts once the base rate falls below a certain level./ppOn Nationwide deals a collar kicks in when a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2008/nov/01/mortgages-property"official interest rates fall below 2.75%/a, while on a Skipton or Yorkshire building society tracker the cut off point is 3%./ppRay Boulger, senior technical manager at mortgage broker John Charcol, said up to 1.2 million people - a sizeable proportion of the estimated 3.9 million who have tracker deals - may not see the full reduction passed on to them./ppHe said up to 600,000 people had tracker mortgages with lenders such as Nationwide and Skipton, while up to a further 600,000 have a tracker deal with Halifax, which may choose to exercise its option not to pass on the rate cut in full./ph2Halifax/h2pThe small print in Halifax's mortgage gives it the option not to pass on all or any cut once the base rate falls below 3%. It tells customers: "We can also change the tracker margin to your disadvantage, but only at a time when the tracker base rate is less than 3% per year. /pp"By 'to your disadvantage' we mean increasing the tracker margin where it is positive or zero, reducing the tracker margin where it is negative, or changing a negative tracker margin to a positive one." /ppHowever, comments made yesterday by a representative of the City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), suggest the bank could be in trouble if it a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2008/dec/02/mortgages-banks"tries to implement the clause/a./ppJon Pain, the FSA's retail markets managing director, told the Council of Mortgage Lenders annual conference that while tracker interest rate collars could be a legitimate term of a mortgage, "it can only be if it is clear and unambiguous to the consumer, and is consistently and prominently spelt out in the initial KFI [key facts illustration] and offer document throughout the sales process"./ppA spokesman for the FSA said it would not comment on individual companies, but it seems likely Halifax will be under pressure to pass on any reduction in full. /ppIf it doesn't, Boulger said it could face a legal challenge from borrowers. "I had a call last week from one borrower with a large Halifax lifetime tracker mortgage who said he would do just that," he said./ph2Standard variable rates/h2pBorrowers on SVRs are also unlikely to benefit from the full reduction. Lloyds TSB, which also lends under the Cheltenham Gloucester brand, is the only major lender which links its SVR to the Bank base rate. /ppIts terms and conditions pledge that its SVR will never be more than 2% above the base rate, which means it could fall as low as 4% if the MPC does opt for a full 1% cut./ppLast month, a number of major lenders were quick to reduce their SVR by the full 1.5% after coming under pressure from the government, but many others only passed on smaller cuts./ppOverall, 87 out of 95 lenders with an SVR passed on some of the reduction, but 57 did not pass it on in full, with some only reducing their rates by 0.25%. The Woolwich, Barclays' lending arm, has not passed on anything./ppLouise Cuming, head of mortgages at moneysupermarket.com, said: "If we see a 1% cut to [an overall rate of] 2%, it will be very, very difficult for lenders to pass that on./pp"They have to have an eye on profitability and 2008 has been about lenders wanting to get profit rather than volume lending."/ppBoulger agreed, saying that if rates were cut by 1% he would expect lenders to pass on between 0.25% to 0.5% to SVR customers, unless the government puts pressure on the major lenders to pass on the cut in full again./ppIf the MPC cuts interest rates by 0.5% and lenders pass on the reduction in full it would save borrowers with a typical £150,000 mortgage around £43 a month, while a 1% reduction would reduce monthly repayments by £85./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/mortgages"Mortgages/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/property"Property/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/debt"Borrowing debt/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/banks"Banks and building societies/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/housingmarket"Housing market/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/interestrates"Interest rates/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/interestrates"Interest rates/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/vFowmOJr7LLH_KbczF13xURKTeE/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/vFowmOJr7LLH_KbczF13xURKTeE/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p
