Last Update on 03-18-2010 at 06:19:08from Eyewitness News Online Viacom/YouTube Beef Goes Public SAN FRANCISCO Talk about hanging your dirty laundry in public, and that of your feuding neighbor, to boot. A legal battle between Viacom and YouTube is going public, now that a judge is ready to release documents that will show how the two companies have been going at each other. The documents to be unsealed today will include some of the evidence the two sides have collected to prove their points in their ongoing tiff. Viacom sued YouTube in 2007, seeking more than $1 billion in damages. Viacom owns Paramount Pictures and TV channels like Comedy Central. It claims YouTube built its early success by rampantly infringing on copyrights. For its part, YouTube maintains it follows the copyright laws governing the Internet.
DALLAS They aren't calling it an act of revenge. But a man fired from an Austin, Texas auto dealership allegedly did some dirty dealing that was, at the very least, a big pain to his ex-employer. Authorities claim Omar Ramos-Lopez used the Internet to remotely disable ignitions and set off car horns of more than 100 vehicles sold at his old job. That left some owners without use of their cars. The dealership puts GPS devices in their cars to keep them from being started. That makes the cars easier to repossess if buyers fail to make payments. The odd thing about all of this: an official at the dealership says Ramos-Lopez didn't seem all that upset about being fired. Online-Only Newspaper Marks First Birthday CYBERSPACE They worried it wouldn't last. But the first Web-only "newspaper" has made it to its first birthday. Seattlepi.com is the online successor to the print version of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It was launched a year ago today, one day after the newspaper published its last newsprint edition. Officials say the site has 4 million visitors a month, about the same as the site did when the paper was being printed. Though readership is stable, it's unclear whether the site will make enough money to remain viable. The P-I was the first major metropolitan daily in the country to go Web only. Few have followed suit. In Stores: God Of War Iii FOSTER CITY, Calif. It's the third and final piece to the "God of War" trilogy, and like the others, it's built around the havoc wreaking character Kratos. The title "God of War III" sees the half-human, half-god fighter readying himself for battle in a realm that is up to four times larger than that found in the most recent incarnation of the title. The title takes advantage of the Sony PlayStation 3 hardware to deliver advanced graphics, the better to show you all the gory details as Kratos seeks to take revenge on those he has perceived as wronging him over the years. The title is rated "M" for Mature audiences by the ESRB, with advisories for blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong sexual content and strong language. |
