Norwegian student fined for MP3 links :confused: By Thomas C Greene Published Saturday 29th January 2005 12:15 GMT Norwegian student Frank Allan Bruvik has been fined $15,900 for providing links from his website, Napster.no, to MP3 files hosted elsewhere, the Associated Press reports. The Court found that he had violated copyright law by helping netizens to locate forbidden files. In other words, by linking, Bruvik was assisting in an illegal act. An appeals court earlier had found that he did not violate copyrights because he did not host, or "publish", the files, but merely made reference to sites where the files were already accessible. Those who had actually…

The amount of spam circulating online could be about to undergo a massive increase, say experts. Anti-spam group Spamhaus is warning about a novel virus which hides the origins of junk mail. The program makes spam look like it is being sent by legitimate mail servers making it hard to spot and filter out. Spamhaus said that if the problem went unchecked real e-mail messages could get drowned by the sheer amount of junk being sent. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4236709.stm :sneaky:

:stunned: I sat through the whole 169 hours (sorry minutes :P ) of this last night and well, I thought I'd give a little summary of what I thought. Now don't get me wrong, the opening scenes of the film were fantastic. The cinematography was amazing - especially when Leo Di Caprio was in the first flying scenes... it drew me into the exhilarating world of Howard Hughes. But then, after around an hour and a half.. the story dragged on... and on.. and oh my god on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not reccommend seeing this in the cinema... For health reasons including : neck cramp, back cramp, leg cramps and eyelid strain! However, rent it on dvd perhaps, then you can …

Casino Royale, author Ian Fleming's first James Bond book, is to be the next Bond film, with Goldeneye director Martin Campbell behind the camera. It will be the 21st James Bond film to hit the big screen, and speculation has been rife over who will play the lead. Casino Royale was turned into a spoof spy movie by John Huston in 1967, with David Niven in the lead role. Pierce Brosnan led the past four Bond films but said producers axed him after offering him the chance to return. Among the favourites to take over the coveted role are Scottish actor Dougray Scott, Oscar nominee Clive Owen and Australian star Hugh Jackman. Producers say no decision has yet…

This is a poem that I wrote. Let me know what u people think. Please rate it from 1-10. Don't Don't ask me why I wonder, Don't ask why I did it, Don't ask my for my reason, Just walk away and froget I was there Don't ask me why I feel this way, Don't ask if I'll go back, Don't ask me if I'll change Just vanish in the air Don't ask me when, Don't ask me how, Don't as how many times, Just pretend you never knew me, Pretend you never found me They took it all away from me, They robbed me from my fun, I'll still never tell them why, They'll never understand I never felt so angry, To be alive and to be caught, They m…

:rolleyes: Bush Says Iraqi Leaders Will Want U.S. Forces to Stay to Help By ELISABETH BUMILLER, DAVID E. SANGER and RICHARD W. STEVENSON Published: January 28, 2005 ASHINGTON, Jan. 27 - President Bush said in an interview on Thursday that he would withdraw American forces from Iraq if the new government that is elected on Sunday asked him to do so, but that he expected Iraq's first democratically elected leaders would want the troops to remain as helpers, not as occupiers. "I've, you know, heard the voices of the people that presumably will be in a position of responsibility after these elections, although you never know," Mr. Bush said. "But it seems…
