RapidShare Wins Big: RapidShare, one of the most popular file sharing sites, has dodged a serious copyright bullet. A Federal Judge in California ruled that RapidShare is not guilty of copyright infringement because it does not have a searchable index. It's a subtle, but valid point.
Isohunt Under Fire: Just after the positive ruling for RapidShare, a different Federal judge shut down Isohunt - an indexed file-sharing site that is a haven for illegal downloads of movies and television shows. This is an arms race and the good guys are at a serious disadvantage.
Higher Termination Fees: AT&T is getting competitive. As more iPhone competitors roll out, AT&T is jacking up in the price of the iPhone termination fee from $150 to a whopping $325. The move comes months after Verizon increased its termination fee for select smart phones to $350. Will a higher termination fee keep you in your phone longer? The carriers certainly hope so.

These Copyright infringement rights people need to move into the 21st Century.
When they were busy chasing and shutting down Napster, the sharing community had already moved on to torrents. Now they believe they's caught up with torrents by shutting down Isohunt? Does anybody even use Isohunt anymore?
Jeeeez people you guys need to invite some kids into the room if you really want to shut down these sites and things- not that it will ever happen anyway.
But Isohunt? That's just sad.
I feel embarrassed for everyone involved in that case.
