Viacom Gets to See What You’ve Watched on YouTube… Yes, Even the Gorilla Tutu Porn (Especially the Gorilla Tutu Porn)

In another wonderful invasion of American privacy, YouTube has recently been ordered to hand over all of its viewer data to Viacom. “Why,” you ask, “why does this cute and cuddly conglomerate have to know that I just really like watching playthroughs of old Zelda games for NES? Is that really necessary?” Viacom thinks so, because it’s suing YouTube for copyright infringement to the tune of $1 billion, and a judge ruled that granting them the right to snoop will help (…)

Comcast Ordered to Stop Interfering with BitTorrent Traffic, Faces FCC Sanctions

Comcast, like many internet service providers, has been accused by consumer groups and press sources of interfering with customers’ connections in order to block peer-to-peer traffic and disconnect BitTorrent seeds. Yet after months of denials and false promises, as well as an FCC investigation that began in January, the nation’s largest cable company has been ordered by the Federal Communications Commission to stop throttling its users’ traffic.
On Friday, the Associated Press reported (…)

Memorial Stone of Joy Division Frontman Ian Curtis Stolen

Top three reasons why it is a bad idea to rip off Ian Curtis’ memorial stone from the Macclesfield Cemetery:
1. Stealing stuff from deceased persons is wrong, and they may have ghost buddies who will haunt you.
2. There is no way that attempting to sell it on eBay does not violate the website’s terms and conditions.
3. It is really mean.
In spring 1980, Mr. Curtis, the frontman for seminal Manchester band Joy Division, hanged himself at the age of 23. The past few years have seen a (…)

RIAA Adopts “Pay Up and Shut Up” Policy, More Than Doubles Fines For College Students Who Dare Challenge Its Pre-Litigation Letters

Back in the good ol’ days, college students would receive “pre-litigation letters” from the RIAA demanding $3,000 as an out-of-court settlement. Students would then either pay the fine or challenge the accusation in court. It was a wonderful scenario, as everyone tended to come out on top: the RIAA got its money on behalf of (but not for) its artists, and the pirates, most of them hilariously in debt from student loans, got their due comeuppance and achieved higher moral superiority through (…)
