According to the parent in question there had been some misunderstanding by the agency, after she claims she had ordered a gorilla. A shaken and slightly stirred witness recounts, 'No one could believe it [...] she ordered him to get on all fours, led him around the classroom and hit him 16 times — once for each year — on the bottom with her whip.

Submission + - Increase in Encrypted Torrents Spotted in the UK (theregister.co.uk)

angryphase writes: The British Phonographic Institute (RIAA-UK) has noticed a significant increase in the amount of encrypted torrents.

Matt Phillips, spokesman for the UK record industry trade association explains, "Our internet investigations team, internet service providers and the police are well aware of encryption technology: it's been around for a long time and is commonplace in other areas of internet crime. It should come as no surprise that if people think they can hide illegal activity they will attempt to."
