JM78 writes: "Ars Technica is reporting that after the RIAA dismissed its file sharing suit against Patti Santangelo last year, it decided to go after her children. Her son, Robert Santangelo, denies the charges and demands a trial by jury, while accusing the record labels of engaging in a "wide-ranging conspiracy to defraud the courts of the United States." Santangelo also calls the labels a "cartel" that acts in collusion, violating US antitrust laws by "entering into an unlawful agreement among themselves to prosecute and to dispose of all cases in an identical manner and through common lawyers."

Submission + - Google Rethinking China Censorship?

Submitted by JM78 on Wednesday January 31, 2007 @12:59PM

JM78 writes: Is Google having second thoughts about its decision to allow censorship on its Chinese service? At the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, the world's great and good gathered to talk, ski, and do business (not necessarily in that order). During one of the sessions, Google co-founder Sergey Brin said, "On a business level, that decision to censor... was a net negative." It arguably was not a success on the moral level, either, but Brin and co-founder Larry Page have always made clear their distaste for the practice. The issue is how the company should apply local laws in countries like China, and Brin's comments have led to speculation that Google was planning a change in policy sometime soon.
