,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this week TorrentFreak reported that there
| had been objections over one of the proposed lay

| yet more claims of possible bias, this time with two
| of the main judges who have both been members of pro-
| copyright groups.

Music piracy costs money; does fighting it cost more?
,----[ Quote ]
| The major music labels say that they stand to lose
| Â200 million this year in the UK alone thanks to
| Internet file-sharing. But one of the country's
| biggest ISPs is now slinging around some huge numbers
| of its own, saying it will actually cost ISPs Â365
| million a year to adopt "three strikes" rules meant
| to stem piracy.

A crowd-sourced translation of The Lost Symbol: is this copyright infringement?
,----[ Quote ]
| His last book, The Da Vinci Code, was wildly popular
| in China and propelled translations of his earlier
| novels onto bestseller lists as well. The latest
| thriller, which follows the further adventures of
| intrepid symbologist Robert Langdon, should sell well
| over here too.
|
| Once it's translated, that is. People's Literature
| Publishing House expects a Chinese edition to be on
| shelves sometime in 2010.
