Rapidshare Divulges Uploader Information 281
Gorgonzolanoid notes a post on TorrentFreak reporting that the German Rapidshare is divulging uploader information to rights holders. Record labels are apparently making creative use of "paragraph 101" of German copyright law, which gives them a streamlined process to ask a court to order disclosure of information such as an IP address. "In Germany, the file-hosting service Rapidshare has handed over the personal details of alleged copyright infringers to several major record labels. The information is used to pursue legal action against the Rapidshare users and at least one alleged uploader saw his house raided."

Hey, that sounds like the plot for a movie. A couple of dim witted but lovable friends decide to rob a RIAA to pay for a neighbourhood kid's cancer treatment, but it all goes wrong when the rapidshare server logs their IPs, and then there's a madcap chase across the internets with viruses and trojans and a crazy Bavarian hacker named Grubi with a fetish for spaghetti.

If you can spell nullification your too smart to be on a jury. Juries are made up of people to stupid to think of a reason to get out of jury duty.
Since you're on a crusade to determine who is too stupid to serve on a jury, please allow me to correct your own glaring errors.
"If you can spell nullification you're too smart to be on a jury. Juries are made up of people too stupid to think of a reason to get out of jury duty."
Given the fact that you're obviously too stupid to compose a grammatically correct reply to the GP, I suppose you'll be scheduled for jury duty shortly. Have a nice day.
