An anonymous reader writes "controverisal pro-piracy website the piratebay likes to portray itself as an innocent hobby site that provides a free index without censorship, but recent facts show that the site is earning up to 20,000 Euros per day from its advertising. Taking in money on this scale puts a different slant on the motives behind the Swedish filesharing site, and could open up the runners of the site to prosecution for profiting from copyright infringement."

Jelmer Vernooij writes "After three years of hard work, the OpenChange project has released a first version of their project, which implements MAPI, the protocol used natively by Microsofts' Exchange server. Their initial release contains a simple command-line tool for fetching and sending email from an Exchange server. Work is also on its way to build a native drop-in replacement of Exchange server, without requiring additional client plugins, as well as improvements to the client to support fetching and changing remote tasks, address books and calendars. An online demonstration of the release and its testing tools is also available."
