Today’s amusing email scam

Although I’ve been receiving ALOT of these fake-o bank emails (so many in fact some days i could collect the whole high street of banks) this one takes the biscuit, obviously the scammers have given up their previous tactics and settled on the far more sensible and wiser route of poorly written and massively misspelt garbage, GO TEAM!

Today I realised I’d completely forgotten Blu-Ray existed :P

A recent story on no-one buying blu-ray sparked nostalgia for the days of the great HD vs Blu war and simply put made me realise that ever since it ended I have not read 1 single story about these techs

$1.9 million fine for 24 songs, wacky RIAA at it again

Interesting news for fans of the extended fiasco that is the RIAA and their hunt for music downloaders, a recent retrial just settled against the infamous Jammie Thomas with the final verdict laying down the hefty sum of $80,000 dollars PER SONG!!! Shocking as this is almost 9 times as much as the original trials verdict of roughly $9000 a song :O

I’m pretty sure any reasonable and sane person should be able to tell that these fines are just so far beyond ridiculous!

The upside to this is that it could lead to quick revisions to the US copyright laws to refuse bullies like the RIAA the chance to ’send a message’ through the use of grossly inflated charges, glad to know the constitution is good for something!
