Film on music piracy released as Xvid torrent->

Submitted by

goodbye_kitty writes "The producers of a new documentary film analyzing global music piracy have decided to "put their money where their mouth is" by releasing the film as a free Xvid download (hosted by the pirate bay, as one would expect). The film explores the blurred line between "fair use" and piracy, and includes interviews with DJ Danger Mouse (creator of the now infamous 'grey album'), Lawrence Lessig (found of Creative Commons), the lads from the pirate bay, and even some guy from the MPAA.

Thwart the Three Biggest Internet Threats->

Submitted by
Fireflymantis
Fireflymantis writes "An interesting look at the three biggest Internet threats of 2007 and how to protect yourself from them. Presented by the MSN network, we find that the greatest web danger is nothing other than IE itself:

Internet Explorer heads the list of top Internet security attack targets in the most recent joint report of the FBI and security organization SANS Institute.
When recommending automatic updating to make IE and Windows safer, the MSN presented guide has this to say:

If you trust Microsoft implicitly, Download updates for me. Let me choose when to install them if you trust the company a little bit, or Notify me but don't automatically download or install them to play it safest.
Very interesting as it is on MSN, but openly makes hits against IE, ActiveX, and the integrity of Microsoft."

Unhacking a G-Mail account?

Submitted by
TokyoShoe
TokyoShoe writes "I have recently had my G-Mail account hacked, most probably for no reasons beyond my own stupidity. That being said, I am trying to find ways to get this account back from out of the Hacker's hands. They have changed the password for the account, and G-Mail will not bring up my security questions to force a password reset until after 5 days of inactivity. This means as long as the Hacker keeps using my account, I can never get it back! I have filled out Security Submission forms for Gmail Tech Support, documenting my account's details and a request to help me reclaim it. The G-Mail discussion forums are repleat with stories of folks with hacked G-Mail accounts and how they have been waiting months to no avail, never getting even an answer from the Gmail Support Team. Are there any other methods of getting my account back, or better yet getting in touch with Gmail Tech Support?"
