Parents, read carefully
Anti-Pirates - now they're coming for your kids
Forget the facts of life - parents now need to tell their kiddies about the facts of the Net and how pirating software could land them in trouble. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) says more and more juveniles are being fingered for pirating software and it's calling on parents to be more vigilant about their children's online activities.
In the UK, a 16-year-old still at school has been charged under the Trade Marks Act of 1994 for selling pirated software on auction web sites, while in Switzerland another minor has been prosecuted for advertising and selling pirated software on the Web. Another Swiss youth was convicted of copyright and trademark infringement and unfair competition for selling pirated software CDs. (The Register)

New Plan for Spammers: Charge 'Em
An IBM researcher thinks he has a plan to solve -- or at least soften -- the problem of unsolicited come-ons: Make spammers and telemarketers pay you a fee each time they hit your inbox or disturb you during dinner. In "Selling interrupt rights: A way to control unwanted e-mail and telephone calls," a paper (PDF) published last week in IBM's Systems Journal, Scott Fahlman argues that spammers should be charged each time they trespass your inbox.

Napster
Remaining Napster items to be auctioned
Computers, laptops and a slew of T-shirts with a grinning cartoon cat logo will go up for auction as the now defunct song-swap company Napster cleans out its remaining physical assets. Santa Clara-based software maker Roxio bought the brand name and intellectual property after Napster's bankruptcy. The leftover computer parts, laptops and Napster-logo tchotchke - golf shirts, baseball caps and key chains - are up for grabs at Wednesday's auction. (Nando Times)

Movie industry targets eBay sales
A movie industry trade group on Tuesday sued nine online vendors it alleges are selling pirated films through auction sites such as eBay Inc. Ebay was not named in the copyright infringement lawsuits filed against individuals across the country by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which represents Hollywood’s biggest studios.

Web Filters
Anti-porn software 'spares health sites'
Software designed to protect children from internet porn does so without harming access to genuine health websites, research suggests. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that while filter software successfully blocked nine out of 10 porn sites, this was at the expense of only one in 20 health-related websites. This rate was achieved when the software was put on its least restrictive setting. (BBC)
