| Robertson's most recent company, MP3Tunes, but
| also sued Robertson personally, which is an
| intimidation technique that creates tremendous
| chilling effects for any executive or founder
| of any company.

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite tough talking by government and
| legislators, not to mention action against
| Pirate Bay, fewer Swedes than ever before
| believe that downloading copyrighted material
| is theft.
|
| Swedenâs new IPRED legislation and attempts by
| politicians to demonize file-sharing donât seem
| to be working.

YouTubeâs Bandwidth Bill Is Zero. Welcome to the New Net
,----[ Quote ]
| YouTube may pay less to be online than you do, a new
| report on internet connectivity suggests, calling
| into question a recent analysis arguing Googleâs
| popular video service is bleeding money and
| demonstrating how the internet has continued to
| morph to fit userâs behavior.
|
| In fact, with YouTubeâs help, Google is now
| responsible for at least 6 percent of the internetâs
| traffic, and likely more â and may not be paying an
| ISP at all to serve up all that content and attached
| ads.
