Woman arrested for trying to record 'Twilight' on digital camera
,----[ Quote ]
| Taping three minutes of âTwilight: New
| Moonâ during a visit to a Rosemont movie
| theater landed Samantha Tumpach in a jail
| cell for two nights.
|
| Now, the 22-year-old Chicago woman faces
| up to three years in prison after being
| charged with a rarely invoked felony
| designed to prevent movie patrons from
| recording hot new movies and selling
| bootleg copies.

If You Make A Mistake With A Paywall, It Can Linger For A Long Time
,----[ Quote ]
| As an early reader of Salon, I used to
| read it all the time -- and link to it.
| But as I got more and more confused over
| whether or not anyone reading Techdirt
| could read the links, I was less and less
| inclined to ever write about Salon stories
| -- and eventually that resulted in me
| dropping Salon as a source I read as well.

Washington Post Learns The Importance Of Fact Checking... And Reading The Comments
,----[ Quote ]
| On November 26th (Thanksgiving), the
| Washington Post put up an article about
| the group Public Enemy and its efforts to
| help the homeless in DC. Nice enough.
| However, there was one oddity in the
| article. It claimed that the band's famous
| song 911 is a Joke was about the attacks
| of September 11th. Yes, this is a song
| that was released in 1990. And if you've
| ever heard it, you know that it's about
| the phone number you call for emergencies.
| I mean the first line of the song is "I
| dialed 911 a long time ago....".
