I found another interesting news story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6160414.stm

It's about Universal Music Group suing MySpace for encouraging copyright infringement. Wtf? Why would they waste their time with this? It seems to me like MySpace's case is pretty airtight, as they've done less to encourage law-breaking than almost any musically-oriented site since prior to Napster's inception. In fact, MySpace is nothing but good for music - the industry, the musicians, the art form. This is a terrible PR move and an unwinnable case. Seriously, if anyone can see why a record company would continue the litigation against this particular site, let me know.

For anyone that is interested in the Borat lawsuit debates going on right now there was an article on AOL this morning about the issue. Here is the link:

Though typically I am all for making fun of ignorant people, I draw the line with the old Jewish couple. How could you possibly take advantage of them like that and feel ok about it. They open up their home to Borat and his crew and make them a late night snack , and what do they get in return? They are portrayed as money grubbing Jews who have morphed into cockroaches.
