Tiny Music Label Takes on Google and Microsoft

Little known music label Blue Destiny Records has filed suit against both Microsoft and Google for allegedly not removing links that violate their copyright.  The label states that both giant companies ”facilitated and enabled” the illegal distrobution of copyright material.

Microsoft has removed such links from Bing, their popular search engine, but is still not fully compliant.  Google however is said to be still linking to their material.  I find it interesting that it takes a law suit to get the attention of companies like Microsoft and Google.

Star Trek 12 – The Prequel of Khan?

I can’t believe it myself, but rumors are abound about the plot line of the next Star Trek movie (12).  Some speculators are even talking about resurrecting the old character from the second movie, Khan.  The writers told an interviewer there’s a 50/50 chance Khan would appear in the next movie, according to io9.  This just makes me wonder if the “reboot” of the franchise is going to be a success.  So far it looks like the new series of movies will be hit and miss.
