Submission + - Scientology harrassment attempt backfired badly

Submitted by BertDeJong
BertDeJong writes: Making a critical documentary about the cult of Scientology wasn't made easy for BBC Panorama's investigating journalist John Sweeney, as he was being follow-up, harrassed, and intimidated for days by one "Tommy" (wearing sunglasses and a black suit) of Scientology during his investigation. Sweeney lost it after a couple of days, and explained "Tommy" where they were at. Scientology taped the event, and decided it would be good message to enemies of Scientology so they put it on Youtube. But this badly backfired when Panorama viewing rates went through the roof in Britain. Scientology are now considering legal steps.

Submitted by chris_law
chris_law writes: In the biggest music promotion in history, Coke and iTunes have teamed up to give away 2 billion free iTunes downloads to lucky Coke drinkers over 4 months. The immense promotion will run from this month and will launch at the Cannes Film Festival with a performance from Faithless. There's speculation as to whether EMI's new DRM-free catalogue of songs will be included in the deal. Regardless, this is huge news for digital download fans and massive promotion of the already dominating iTunes Store.
