Yes! I absolutely agree! Australia is tops, people are laid back and don't give a sh**. The scenery is great and diverse. And Aboriginals have computers too nowadays, although I would stay away from the outback.
Oh, and in Australia everybody's your mate. ;-)
Griffin > A concept for a teaser > What is going on? I have an idea for a teaser, but I need your help on it. The idea is to do a short, 2-minute teaser for Griffin to illustrate what we are aiming for. Here's my wishlist:
* 2 minute teaser trailer
* Not revealing any significant faces (no actor is assigned), but still be very humane.
* The tone would be light and it could have a little twist to it.
My idea is something along these lines:
- Introduce the main character, Griffin, an ex Net wizard who has been ordered to stay off the net with court's order, since he did a big scam few years back and got caught.
- We could follow as he does his daily routines in not-connected way: he doesn't have an access to the Net, and he only has a landline phone. We already sketched out some fun daily routines in another task, over here: http://www.wreckamovie.com/tasks/show/784
- Yet at the same time, we should present how something huge is starting to attack the Internet, a biggest worm or virus outbreak of all time, that's basically shutting down most of the Internet, bit by bit.
Play with this concept, we should be shooting somewhere early next year!
Griffin > Country & Location > Prague by: Thomas Shaddack
Prague has pretty visuals, hills from which nice shots could be made, and a couple universities including electronics (FEL) and nuclear tech (FJFI). Already used in a number of movies. For movie purposes, the FAMU school and its students may be possible to recruit to help.

Agree. And not only FAMU, but some people at college of Journalism would like to help.
Only in CZ, but I think google will translate it well:

controlling text used to be major business.
it would sure be interesting to project a world where hacking
was on the decline such that someone thought they had to
'free the world.'

maybe hackers which were once privately dealt with became public enemies for illegal publishing?

No they are back with a vengence not called diplock any more they have been rebranded and now used in Organised Crime cases in the UK where only a Judge sits no jury, the excuse being that the jury can't be intimidated.
Normally I would agree because I've seen witness intimidation up close but I do have problems with the concept because I investigated corruption in the legal and law enforcement area and it does make you distrustful. I'll send you over something privately so you'll get the idea.

I thought diplock had generally been abolished now?
Griffin > Personal experiences of Internet crime > Cyber crime is not in isolation by: Kerry O'Donoghue
You may find that in many cases the Hacker, Cyber Criminal or whatever you want to call them is not just acting via the web they are very often involved in 'real world' crimes too without sometimes realising it, or the information they gained is involved in other crimes i.e. ID fraud will be carried out over the web sometimes but the same ID will be sold to another and that person may well use it for buying physical items on the web which then are sold in Bars etc.
Card cloning is another problem and then the information is transferred from one magnetic strip to another. I have seen staff in organisations transfer money electronically to fund terrorism, to facilitate the purchase of properties to house people who were trafficked illegally.
Cyber crime is popular with organised crime as those who carry out the crimes do it and view it as a victimless crime so it is easy to recruit people to do it or blackmail normally honest people into comitting the cyber crime, which I have seen. A cyber criminal most of the time would not break into a house to steal anything or mug an old lady because they would have to encounter the victim, but via computer they will empty that same old ladies bank account without a second thought or facilitate the illegal purchase of a house to be used as a brothel for trafficked women. The only difference is the cyber criminal does not have to face the victim so their conscience is clear, all they did was sit behind a computer and tap a few keys.

Kerry, that's a great offer and I think these would be great ideas for the series, but I'm not actually the production leader so I'm not sure whether I'm the right person to be receiving stuff.
The leader is Timo Vuorensola but he's busy right now with Iron Sky ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeAfoiN5SDw )... hmm...
Try contacting Riku Pyhälä ( http://www.wreckamovie.com/user/show/1689 ), he's listed as the assistant leader.

With a strongly controlled press as in the UK where the 'DA' notice is used and the Terrorism and Security Act 2000 hacking almost with the defense of 'In the public interest' can be the only way to stop government abuses especially when diplock courts are used.

Very interesting in the light of the global 404 scenario in the Griffin teaser:

Companies are blackmailed that if they don't pay a certain amount to a third party their company's computers will go down or worse their customer accounts list will be hacked

Kris if you want I can send you or put up actual case studies of different types of crimes that are linked like this. Do you want to know how you actually gather the intelligence it's nothing like 24 in reality it takes a lot longer.
One frightening aspect is when corruption is involved caused by someone being blackmailed into assisting an organised crime group that uses hackers to advance their crimes.
My email is odono10@gmail.com and I'll send the case studies out from that address if anyone wants to see them.
Like I said before I'll do anything to help. from Kerry
