Two Danish women taken to court by IFPI affiliates for sharing music were found to be innocent. The two claimed they were the victim of WiFi theft, had no knowledge of the alleged infringements and therefore shouldn’t have to pay the $300K+ damages. The court agreed and acquitted them of all charges. Some time ago, two women from Denmark, both of which later admitted to having P2P software on their computers, received letters from IFPI ...

In a recent interview with EOnline, Dan Aykroyd was asked about the status of Ghostbusters 3. Aykroyd responded: Well, y’know, two sharp young writers are purported to be writing the sequel, the third movie now. If I could interest Seth [Rogen] and Judd [Apatow] to be part of it, that would be an absolute dream. Given Aykroyd’s relationship with the franchise, it’s nearly impossible that he wouldn’t know for certain exactly what is going on ...

Now that Apple has enjoyed some success with its App Store, smartphone manufacturers are starting to realize that having such a service is a worthwhile endeavor. An App Store with the right ingredients for success not only makes people want to buy the smartphone more than others, but it offers a new revenue-sharing opportunity that could become extremely lucrative. Perhaps that’s why Microsoft’s new store for Windows Mobile 7, called Skymarket, leaked today. And it’s ...

We’ve seen R2-D2 Projectors, and R2-D2 Ice Buckets, but how about an R2-D2 mini-fridge? Geekalerts found an awesome R2-D2 compact refrigerator which was created in 2002 as a promotional prize for Attack of the Clones. Apparently only 1,000 of these guys were produced for the 7-11 promotion, so it isn’t the easiest item to find. ToyEast is selling one for a whopping $1070. Ouch. I wonder why George Lucas hasn’t created an officially licensed version ...

With Wanted being a huge success this summer, it’s no surprise that Mark Millar is already talking plans for more sequels to the film. What’s interesting is that Millar has pretty much given up the comic book continuity of the series. In an interview with Newsarama, Millar discusses his complete disinterest in a comic follow-up to his original books: “I’ve got this reputation of being a total whore, and even when I’m adamant about something ...
