Hmm.  The MPAA seems to be getting kinda desperate to catch people.  They are putting up traps.

A new video download site busts you for illegally downloading video content as well as offers the ability to download video content using a custom client which scans your PC to see if the you have already downloaded copyrighted files.

I thought you were supposed to create your porn star name by combining the name of your pet and the name of the street you grew up on but Tara Madden apparently just used her friend’s name.

Tara Madden is a 25-year-old porn movie actress who uses the stage name Syvette Wimberly when starring in films like “Anal Camera 19.” While Madden’s professional alias is catchy and distinctive, the name is identical to that of a former Texas high school pal of the X-rated performer. As a result, Kristen Syvette Wimberly, 25, has filed a lawsuit against Madden and the porn distributor Vivid Entertainment for the misappropriation of her name.

This is what happens when people have a lack of fundamental understanding of the internet and have too much time on their hands. This woman’s website has a statement on the bottom of her site saying, “IF YOU COPY OR DISTRIBUTE ANYTHING ON THIS WEB SITE, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT”. This “contract” states you are not allowed to archive her site. She has no robots.txt file on her site. She says that since The Internet Archive crawled and cached her site, it was a violation of the “contract” so she now suing. It would really be a shame if she won.

You would think that after a while, these radical Islamic groups would just run out of followers.  They’re blowing themselves up for any reason they can find.

A man with explosives hidden on his body blew himself up in an Internet cafe after the owners prevented him from looking at terror Web sites, the Interior Ministry said Monday.

The man was killed and four people were injured in the Sunday night blast in a Casablanca slum, said ministry spokesman Abderrahman Achour. One of the wounded was the dead man’s companion, who was hospitalized with burns and a throat injury.

The news agency reported that two men entered the cafe at 10 p.m. Sunday seeking access to terrorist sites, but the owner’s son refused. A scuffle broke out, and the owner called for help before Raidi’s explosives went off, Kacemi was quoted as saying by MAP. Khoudri then fled, dropping an explosives belt on his way out, the official said. He was arrested about an hour later.
