Google has a lot of excuses for why they profit from piracy, but what is inexcusable is how YouTube profits from hate videos and war porn.  It is difficult to understand how Lady Gaga and other artists slated to perform on the “YouTube Music Awards” would be able to turn a blind eye to this […]

The Food and Drug Administration has very clear guidelines for drugs you should not buy over the Internet.  One of those drugs is RU 486 (or Mifepristone).  Google is very much aware of the illegality of selling this particular drug, because it was one of the drugs that they were busted for in the multi-year […]

So with one last burst of sanctimonious twaddle, Isohunt goes the way of former Fred von Lohmann clients Streamcast (co-defendent in the Grokster case) and Limewire.  Isohunt is “paying” $110 million (wonder where they’re getting that money from?) and shutting down (assuming they can actually shut it off). The Washington Post reports the settlement this […]

The Washington Post started a new blog called “The Switch” (a blog that was probably conceived in the weeks before Jeff Bezos announced the he had bought the newspaper).  The blog is supposed to focus on technology and policy: Its announced editorial direction is “Where Technology and Policy Connect.” Some of you may remember back […]
