News Article Wednesday, January 24th 2007, 10:04am EST Texas court bans deep linking. A court in Dallas, Texas has found a website operator liable for copyright infringement because his site linked to an 'audio webcast' without permission. Observers have criticised the judge for failing to understand the internet. Robert Davis runs Supercrosslive.com and put direct links on his site to audio streams of motorcycle racing. Those streams were created, owned and hosted by SFX Motor Sports, which is behind some of the events covered. A preliminary injunction was granted on 12th December by Judge Sam Lindsay in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Judge Lindsay followed that ruling with a summary judgment for SFX on 9th January, leaving only damages to be determined at trial, on the same day that Davis filed an appeal against the December ruling. Judge Lindsay ruled that Davis's activity infringed copyright and curtailed the ability of SFX to sell advertising and sponsorship on its site. News Article Wednesday, January 24th 2007, 10:03am EST Apple has fixed a flaw in its QuickTime media player software that allowed malicious coders to load malware onto vulnerable systems. The vulnerability - which affects both Windows and Mac OS X PCs - was published as part of the "Month of Apple Bugs" project, which involves a plan to release details of previously undisclosed Mac OS X or Apple application security bugs every day in January. The QuickTime flaw involves an error in processing malformed Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) URLs. As a result, users tricked into running malformed QuickTime files or who visit a hacker website hosting exploit code are liable to find their systems compromised due to this stack-based buffer overflow bug.

News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:37am EST 'Gone Wild' founder must do community service. A federal judge on Monday sentenced the founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" empire to 200 hours of community service for failing to adequately document the ages of performers in his videos. The heavier-than-expected punishment handed down to Joe Francis in Los Angeles was similar to a sentence his Santa Monica-based production company, Mantra Films Inc., received in Florida last month. Monday's sanctions on the 33-year old entrepreneur included two years' probation — twice what his lawyers requested — and a $500,000 fine, which Francis had agreed to pay under a plea deal with prosecutors. Under that agreement, reached with the Justice Department in September, Francis admitted to filming underage women — who were often nude and intoxicated — for his videos. Francis pleaded guilty to two felony counts of violating federal record-keeping laws. Monday's sentence marked the second time that a federal judge had surprised Francis with a community service obligation. Marketing Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:35am EST Creating a MySpace Page for Your Business. We all know about MySpace and its popularity amongst teens and young adults. We also know that MySpace has been known for its share of ups and downs and both good and bad publicity. But have you stopped to think about the idea of creating a MySpace page for your business? Do you see its potential to help increase your exposure, generate more leads and ultimately produce more sales? Well in my opinion, MySpace is a great resource for business owners. I’ve had success with MySpace and will continue to utilize it for my various business endeavors in the years ahead. News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:34am EST Kahle v. Gonzales: 9th Circuit says copyright orphans stay orphans. In a move that's a blow to the U.S. movement to reform copyright law, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Internet Archive's Brewster Kahle, in his lawsuit to allow orphaned works into the public domain. Rejecting the argument of Larry Lessig, the court decided the case was too close to Lessig's Eldred copyright suit of 2002, and that's settled business: News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:33am EST Google apologised on Tuesday after its German site disappeared overnight and was replaced by a page from domain holding company Goneo. The search engine was resurrected at about 7.30am German time, though users still report some problems. The message on the Goneo page translates as: "There are is no content at this domain. Please try again later." A Google spokesman told The Register: "For a short period of time after midnight on January 23rd, the Google Germany homepage (the page hosted at google.de) was unavailable for some users. We would like to apologize to our German users who have had issues accessing google.de. Search Engines Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:32am EST SEO Link Building For Web 2.0. You need to think about what it would take for you to become the renowned expert in your field. You must offer content that is original and valuable to a consumer. Only then, will you conquer the major search engines. One way link building is the core part of search engine marketing. There are many simple ways to obtain one way links: directories, articles, press releases, and most importantly social bookmarking. When you submit your website to a directory, the directory has an editor take a look at your website and either approve or deny it based on their rules. If you are approved, you will gain the all important one way link pointing to your website. Directories need to accept new submissions to keep their content fresh. This makes the search engines and consumers happy. News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:31am EST Ajax Applications - Immune To Clickbots? I've been playing with GMail and Google Reader lately and becoming more accustomed to the AJAX/Javascript interfaces. Which got me to thinking how good are they at separating humans from clickbots. When I'm talking about beating clickbots in this post I'm talking about fake user and zombie bots being used to simulate user behavior, not click on PPC advertising. I'm still a very strong believer that Google is using user data in some way in the algorithm, whether it's tracking outbound clicks in Gmail, or gathering subscriptions, reads, stars, shares, and clicks in Google reader, the simple fact is Google knows what I'm doing and who I'm doing it to. News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:28am EST MySpace sues 'Spam King' Richter. MySpace.com has filed a lawsuit against Scott Richter, the so-called "Spam King" who allegedly sent out millions of unsolicited "bulletins" to MySpace members, the site announced Monday. The News Corp.-owned social-networking site cited violations of multiple state and U.S. antispam laws, including California statutes and the federal Can-Spam Act, in its case against Richter, who was the proprietor of a site called OptInRealBig.com. According to MySpace, Richter gained access to MySpace user accounts via phishing schemes, or took control of accounts that had already been phished, and then used the service's bulletin feature, which sends messages to all of a user's "friends," to churn out unsolicited messages that advertised products ranging from Polo shirts to cell phone ringtones.  News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:27am EST Porn merchants have invaded the Irish Alliance Party's website. Suppliers of internet pornography embarrassed the party by using an online forum to advertise sex videos. Within the past week, several sellers - believed to be foreign - have taken advantage of the party's discussion forum to advertise. Beneath the website photo of leader David Ford, last night the website carried links to "porn sex video" and "video sex picture" . The material is not endorsed by the Alliance Party. Websites that provide discussion forums - which allow outsiders to write material on the site - are often raided by porn merchants. An Alliance Party spokesman said the material had been removed from the website once the party become aware of it. News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:25am EST MSN password stealer released as torrent. Malware designed to steal users' Windows Live Messenger password has been released onto the net. The password stealer was released for download via BitTorrent earlier this week by a hacker using the handle "Our Godfather". The malware comes in the form of an IMB download confirmed by anti-virus firm Sophos as containing a password-stealing Trojan horse. Victims would need to be tricked into downloading and executing the malware, which might be renamed in a bid to disguise its identity, in order for the exploit to work. News Article Tuesday, January 23rd 2007, 11:24am EST The Ultimate Windows Vista laptop. The most visible part of Windows Vista is the Aero interface, and while we can't deny that it looks very swish we find it very hard to get excited by a shiny new GUI. Instead, we're looking forward to new Vista hardware, which includes a new use for the humble USB memory key and much, much more. So what will the ultimate Windows Vista notebook offer? Possibly the most dramatic new feature in Vista is Windows SideShow, shown here on the Asus W5Fe which will have an estimated price of £1,399 inc VAT.

Documents seized in Iraq reveal insurgent plan for attack in U.S. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:17pm EST SEO-No! Wikipedia Nofollows Outbound Links. If using a well-made Wikipedia entry to boost a site's PageRank has been part of your search optimization strategy, you will have to cross that tactic off the list. SEO professionals have spoken at search oriented conferences about the benefits of being listed in Wikipedia. The online encyclopedia has taken a step that those search optimization pros won't like very much. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales asked the site's administrators to set all external links to have the 'nofollow' attribute. This deprives linked sites of the benefit they normally got with search engines from those links. Wikipedia administrator Brion Vibber said in an email to Wikipedia's mailing list that rumors of a "search engine optimization world championship" contest targeting the site had come to their attention in recent weeks. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:16pm EST The Bibles weren't wrapped in brown paper. And the windows of Shoreline Church weren't covered to hide what was going on. But the children were excused early, and the congregation knew it wasn't a typical Sunday when Pastor Mike Calo launched into his "Bust Lust is a Must" sermon with energetic references to masturbation, Hustler magazine and the saving grace of God. Search Engines Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:13pm EST If you want to get serious about driving more traffic to your website and improving your search engine rankings you need to develop a linking strategy. There are three primary linking strategies: 1. Reciprocal Linking 2. Purchasing text links 3. Employing a link finding service. This month's issue of BizAtomic Advisor focuses on Reciprocal Linking – How it can help. When a trusted site links to yours, people follow that recommendation. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:12pm EST 'Castro is dead' spam email infects computers. A spam e-mail with messages including "Fidel Castro dead" and "Saddam Hussein safe and sound" contains a virus which has infected thousands of computers, Spain's Association of Internauts has said. With speculation rife about the Cuban leader's health, the association said that a computer would be infected by the virus if the recipient opened the message. "The virus is affecting thousands of computers," the association said Monday. Other messages sent with the virus include Venezuelan President "Hugo Chavez dead", "President of Russia Putin dead," and "US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has kicked German Chancellor Angela Merkel." News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:10pm EST Belgian newspapers warn Yahoo! over links. Belgium's French language newspapers are continuing their copyright crusade and this time want compensation from search engine Yahoo!. The Copiepress group, which includes La Derniére Heure, La Libre Belgique, and Le Soir, is demanding Yahoo! stops publishing articles from Belgian newspapers without prior authorisation, AFP reports. Last year, Copiepress took Google to court to stop it reproducing content from the French and German language Belgian papers. The publisher successfully argued that Google News Belgium infringed its copyright by republishing snippets of its newspapers. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:09pm EST Swedish police in record child porn haul. Police in Sweden have confiscated record quantities of child pornography in a raid in Sörmland county, south of Stockholm. But the news has coincided with accusations by campaigners that too few resources are being devoted to combating the problem. The raid saw police impounding between 2.5 million and 3 million images, stored on 290 CDs and DVDs and on two hard-disks. Each disk can contain between 4,000 and 6,000 pictures. The haul is believed to be the largest ever confiscated in Sweden, Police are not revealing details of the case, although a spokesman told local paper Eskilstuna-Kuriren that all the photos had been confiscated from the same man, who lives in the county. The images are being examined by a single police officer, Christer Carlsson. Carlsson is Sörmland's only child pornography expert, although a further police officer is being trained to assist him. The news comes as Ecpat, an international organization that campaigns against child sex exploitation, has said that Swedish police are doing too little to combat child pornography.  News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:08pm EST Chinese station telecasts porn by mistake. Two officials and three staff were sacked after a Chinese television accidentally broadcast a pornographic video, state media said on Monday. The Pingshan county television station, in the northern province of Hebei, "caused a bad effect on society" through the two-hour, late-night broadcast on January 16, the semi-official China News Service and other media said. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:07pm EST Porn's problem with HD: 'Razor burn'. The XXX industry has gotten too graphic, even for its own tastes.Stormy Daniels says she isn’t sure “why anyone would want to see their porn” in high definition because it makes the picture so crisp and clear. Pornography has long helped drive the adoption of new technology, from the printing press to the videocassette. Now pornographic movie studios are staying ahead of the curve by releasing high-definition DVDs. They have discovered that the technology is sometimes not so sexy. The high-definition format is accentuating imperfections in the actors — from a little extra cellulite on a leg to wrinkles around the eyes. Hollywood is dealing with similar problems, but they are more pronounced for pornographers, who rely on close-ups and who, because of their quick adoption of the new format, are facing the issue more immediately than mainstream entertainment companies. Producers are taking steps to hide the imperfections. Some shots are lit differently, while some actors simply are not shot at certain angles, or are getting cosmetic surgery, or seeking expert grooming. “The biggest problem is razor burn,” said Stormy Daniels, an actress, writer and director. Ms. Daniels is also a skeptic. “I’m not 100 percent sure why anyone would want to see their porn in HD,” she said. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:07pm EST Germany Declares Blitzkrieg on Violent Video Games. Violent video games might be banned across the European Union in the near future. Justice Ministers of the EU are seeking an outright ban on all violent video games and strict age limits on many other games. Facist Germany is using its six-month position as EU president to push for the international ban. In addition to the gratuitously violent games, the ban could outlaw "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Trek" video games. After a Counter Strike-addicted kid shot up his high school and then committed suicide, violent video games have been under fire in Europe. Much has been said about the correlation between the excess of ultra-violent video games and school shootings, but the EU is trying to take it all the way with an outright ban. Outlaw violent video games and only outlaws will have them? This is a bit much, but it's not that surprising. News Article Monday, January 22nd 2007, 12:05pm EST Cyberthreat experts to meet at secretive conference. Internet security experts are gathering at a secretive conference later this week to strategize in their fight against cybercriminals. The meeting on Thursday and Friday at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash. headquarters is slated to bring together representatives from security companies and government and law enforcement officials, as well as others involved in network security. The agenda focuses on botnets and related topics, seen by experts as a prime threat to the Internet. "Unlike most other security conferences, we allow only members of the different relevant groups access, and we discuss organized crime and threats across borders…with a strong lean toward how we can make things better," said Gadi Evron, an evangelist at security firm Beyond Security and organizer of the event. Botnets are networks of hijacked computers, popularly called zombies. Cybcercrooks use these networks to relay spam, bring down Web sites, distribute spyware and perform other nefarious acts. Microsoft has fingered zombies as a top threat to Windows PCs. News Bytes Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:47am EST The Rest of the News - Updated Continuously. Hillary Clinton steps into US presidential race. News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:47am EST L.A. Times Reports on FBI Porn Raids. A Jan. 12 feature article in the Los Angeles Times examined the FBI's recent 2257 inspections of San Fernando Valley porn studios. Times staff writer Claire Hoffman interviewed several prominent adult industry sources for the piece, including Steven Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment, Kevin Beechum of K-Beech and Free Speech Coalition chairman Jeffrey Douglas. "Although the public perception of porn producers often tends to be that of a wild and unseemly underworld, many of the Valley's X-rated entities are tightly-run multimillion dollar corporations," Hoffman wrote. "Douglas said that complying with the rules had buried X-rated producers in paperwork." News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:46am EST US court withdraws 'legal child porn' opinion. A US court has withdrawn its controversial recent opinion that viewing child pornography is legal as long as it is not intentionally saved. The judge had said there was ambiguity in the law over what constitutes "knowing possession" of material. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania has withdrawn the opinion issued in November of last year by Judge Richard Klein. The court has now granted a prosecution request for a hearing of the full court in the case. Defendant Anthony Diodoro admitted viewing 370 images of child pornography on his computer. The images were on websites which he intentionally visited for that purpose, said Klein's original opinion. Klein ruled that the law related to possession and not viewing, and that there was no evidence that Diodoro sought to retain the images. Pennsylvania state law makes a crime of "knowing possession" of such images. News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:45am EST Porn pervasive in Utah, pastor says. Christian leaders who believe pornography isn't a problem for members of their congregations don't understand the extent of the problem, according to a fellow clergyman. Pastor Mark Gomez of Calvary Chapel Wasatch Front in Clearfield told about two dozen evangelical leaders on Thursday that they and their congregants are all susceptible to online predators and pornography addiction if they don't believe it can happen to them. Statistics show Utah has the highest number of children with in-home Internet access in the nation, and the target age range for engaging in Internet chat is from 12 to 17. Utahns also register the largest numbers nationally for Internet searches of such terms as "sex pics" and "nude girls," he said. "This is not the rate per capita," he said. "We're the highest in the nation." News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:44am EST Old Saybrook Church Opens Discussion On Pornography. The sign taped to the front door of the Shoreline Church is provocative. “PORNSUNDAY,” it proclaims in large print. A disclaimer of sorts follows in smaller type explaining that the church is taking part in a national sermon series aimed at educating its congregation about the pervasiveness, allure and dangers of pornography. Michael and Meredith Calo, the couple who founded the Shoreline Church and are its co-pastors, admit unabashedly that the suggestive title of the sermon series, contained as well in e-mails the church sent with the subtitle “Shoreline Church Announces Sex, Lust & Porn,” were intentional. Since that's how pornographers grab people's attention, “In a way, we need to do that” to compete, said Michael Calo. News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:42am EST Pakistanis favour Indian porn websites: Report. Pakistanis are most inclined towards Indian porn, entertainment and 'masala' websites on the Internet, a rating website said. Alexa, which ranks websites using the number of visitors on specific websites, points out that an Indian website containing mobile phone porn clips, multi-media messaging service (MMS) pictures, erotic stories, 'masala' videos and mujra (dance) videos was among the top ten websites accessed by Pakistanis. According to Alexa ratings, other websites frequently visited by Pakistanis include sites for finding dates and marriage matches, games, Indian film songs and Pakistani pop songs.  News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:41am EST Digital archivists look to porn, Flash for tips. How can society preserve digital art on the Internet the way brick-and-mortar museums can for Picassos and van Goghs? Oddly enough, at least one preservationist believes the answer might be found in an expression that most curators don't consider art--online pornography. "I guarantee that a wealth of pornography from the late 20th century will survive in digital distributed form (because) it's a social model that's working extremely well," said Kurt Bollacker, digital research manager at the Long Now Foundation, a nonprofit fostering several digital-works preservation projects. Bollacker spoke Thursday at a symposium called "New Media and Social Memory" at the University of California at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. He held up the adult industry--always the digital pioneer--as one example of a self-selected community on the Web that swaps images and videos so regularly and widely that that activity will ultimately help preserve an archive over years. Similarly, he pointed to successful niche archives like the Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator, or MAME, a collective of programmers who preserved video games from the 1980s with CPU and hardware emulators. News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:39am EST Virus spreads disguised as news on European storms. Spammers are exploiting the public's interest in this week's European storm to spread a computer virus that sends junk e-mail, computer security experts said Friday. The malicious program, dubbed ``Storm Worm,'' has infected at least 10,000 PCs worldwide, said Mikko Hypponen, the head of research at F-Secure Corp. The virus arrives as an attachment to an e-mail. The e-mails' subject line -- ``230 dead as storm batters Europe'' -- refers to Thursday's storm that disrupted travel for tens of thousands, shut down power and killed at least 47 people. ``The timing is particularly clever,'' Hypponen said. ``They are taking advantage of people's curiosity in a natural disaster that has news value.'' News Article Saturday, January 20th 2007, 11:38am EST Amsterdam claims net data record. The Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) is claiming to be the world's largest public Internet exchange, after setting a new traffic record earlier this month of 233Gbit/s. It says it now shifts more than 1.5 Petabytes a day, on behalf of over 250 ISPs and carriers. To support that load, AMS-IX has had to invest in yet more switching capacity. It has built up its duplicated core network, which now comprises six BigIron RX-16 switches from Foundry Networks. These are installed in two of its four co-location sites, and once fully configured, the core switches will have 64 10Gig ports each for connection to edge switches and 10Gig customers. News Bytes Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:54am EST The Rest of the News - Updated Continuously. King Abdullah: Jordan will develop nuclear power for 'peaceful purposes'. News Article Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:53am EST UK refuses to extend legal protections for search engines. The British government will not back a change to the UK E-commerce Regulations which would give greater legal protection to search engines and other intermediaries. The Government says that changes should be left to a European Commission review later this year. The EU's E-commerce Directive of 2000, from which the UK Regulations are derived, limits the liability of intermediaries where they host or cache information or act as 'mere conduits' in its transmission. The Directive's protection for an ISP is fairly clear; its protection for a search engine is not. Some EU Member States sought to resolve that ambiguity in their implementing laws. The Spanish authorities reasoned that search engines are analogous to hosting services because the service provider has a lack of control over the content and included explicit protection for search engines in Spain's national law. It applied the same reasoning and protection to providers of hyperlinks and also content aggregation services. Austria and Liechtenstein also extended their national protections, though their reasoning was that search engines were more analogous to 'mere conduits' than hosts. Hungary and Portugal also added extensions for such intermediaries to their national laws. News Article Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:52am EST Monetizing Domain Seminar Analyzes the Name Game. Think of Internet domain names as property, and one begins to understand what a “Monetizing Domain” seminar covers. A domain name is considered “intellectual property” in cyberspace, and it is as unique as a piece of prime real estate in the physical world—no two people can own the same domain name at the same time. The seminar, which was moderated by Moniker.com Chief Executive Officer Monte Cahn, focused on considering domain names as a marketable commodity, as intellectual property that can be sold, traded, or leased for a fee. As long as it generates user traffic, each domain name has economic value, and many companies will pay fees or a percentage of sales to individuals who own certain advantageous domain names. News Article Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:51am EST Cookie monster menaces Google. Google has fixed a security vulnerability that created a means for hackers to swipe users' cookie data, days after plugging a separate hole carrying much the same risks. Both bugs meant attackers could modify Google documents, view the email subject lines and initial word (but not the full contents) of messages to Gmail and users' search history (proving personalised search had been enabled). Attacks based on a cross-site scripting bug (the latest of the two flaws) were possible thanks to inadequate defences against HTML injections, creating a means to write potentially malicious code that extracts cookie data. The attack mechanism works by tricking surfers into visiting a site controlled by hackers and relies on users' being logged into one or other of Google's growing number of services at the time. Google fixed the flaw on Tuesday, soon after been warned over the vulnerability.

It's an example of what happens when folks from diverse disciplines combine their skills to create new ways to merge sex and tech -- and then introduce the result to the adult industry. In this case, it's a collaboration between software developers and a product designer with a background in medical devices. And it moves teledildonics in an interesting direction. Hosting Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:49am EST Conversion Rate Optimization: Does Your Host Have the Cure? There are plenty of reasons visitors convert and even more reasons they don't. The site's layout, color choices, word choices and call to action, button/anchor text, layout, nomenclature and similar factors all have an impact on a site's conversion rate. These are factors that you can manage and control. You can make changes, tweak and refine your site to limit visitor attrition, but if your web host isn't helping, all the tweaking in the world won't give you the nice bump in conversions that you're looking for. If your host doesn't partner with you for success, you'll never fully position your site for optimized conversion rates. News Article Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:48am EST Four arrested in Japan over dating site spam blizzard. Four men suspected of sending an internet-congesting 5.4 billion spam emails to promote a dating website have been arrested in Japan. Yoshimitsu Hirono, 47, president of Tokyo-based dating website Takumi Tsushin, and three other suspects, are charged with distributing 90m junk mail messages a day in July and August last year. Investigators say the group sent the spam run through a bank of 128 compromised computers located in China to send the spam run, in an attempt to cover their tracks, English language Japanese paper the Daily Mainichi reports "China ranks as the second-worst country in the world for relaying spam, but that doesn't mean that the spammers themselves are based there," said Graham Cluley of the anti-virus software firm Sophos. "Spammers may make use of computers in China to make investigations more complicated and to take advantage of lower infrastructure costs."

The Bush administration plans to approach Congress again this year about the possibility of new rules requiring Internet service providers to retain information about their subscribers for a certain period of time. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Thursday that he is continuing to explore such legislation, pertaining not to "data retained by government, but (to) data retained by ISPs that could be accessed with a court order." "I would like to have a discussion with the Congress about that," he said at a broader oversight hearing convened Thursday by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

U.S. prosecutors have delivered a severe blow to online gambling companies that are flouting a U.S. ban on Internet gambling by arresting two founders of payment processor NETeller. Britain's NETeller closed its U.S. Internet gambling services on Thursday, wiping out over 65 percent of its business, after two of its founders were arrested there this week. NETeller is the latest target of a U.S. crackdown on online gaming, which began with the arrest of BETonSPORTS Chief Executive David Carruthers in Texas last July. News Article Friday, January 19th 2007, 9:45am EST Myspace sued for failing to protect minors. As Peter Parker learned: With great power comes great responsibility. The adage that guided the Spider Man alter ego is fitting for Myspace.com, whose massive user base gives the social networking site vast reach. According to lawsuits filed on behalf of four families, Myspace didn't act quickly enough to protect users who are minors from adult predators. The plaintiffs say their daughters were solicited and abused by adults using the site.The issue of child safety on Myspace has become such a hot-button issue that the site is implementing ways to protect its underage users. Among them is software that would allow parents to track the name, age and location that teens enter into their profile. It would log the information in a password-protected file on a computer's hard disk for parents to monitor.

Robert Kahn, the most senior figure in the development of the internet, has delivered a strong warning against "Net Neutrality" legislation. Speaking to an audience at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California at an event held in his honour, Kahn warned against legislation that inhibited experimentation and innovation where it was needed. Kahn rejected the term "Net Neutrality", calling it "a slogan". He cautioned against dogmatic views of network architecture, saying the need for experimentation at the edges shouldn't come at the expense of improvements elsewhere in the network.(Kahn gently reminded his audience that the internet was really about interconnecting networks, a point often lost today).

News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:20pm EST US adult industry generated $13 bln in 2006, Internet porn is a $2.84 bln market. AVN estimates US adult products market to generate $12.922 bln in 2006. Adult movies remain the largest sector at more than $3.6 bln or 28% of the adult entertainment market. Falling prices for adult DVDs caused a drop of 15% in revenue in that segment, but unit sales were up, indicating a continuing market for adult films. Distribution over cable channels showed the strongest growth in 2006 at 34%. AVN estimates the Adult Cable/PayPerView segment (home and hotel TV movies) now represents $1.75 bln in revenue, annually. Internet sales of adult content, which includes images, live-chat and live-streaming video, was also a strong growth area. In fact, AVN reports that in 2006, Internet Sales became the second largest adult entertainment segment, with 22% of the market or $2.8 bln in sales.

The "liberty" emblazoned on American money and other cultural icons stands for "liberty from government," he intoned solemnly. With that in mind, he talked with the audience about the liberties adult businesses should enjoy in society but unfortunately often see eroded by a government drunk on the powerful aphrodisiac of its own self-importance.

Paris Hilton's best friend, socialite Kim Kardashian, has been caught up in a new sex tape scandal after filming her sexploits with her ex, Whitney Houston's reported new beau Ray J. A raunchy tape featuring the former couple engaged in various acts, including oral sex, has made its way to Internet porn firm SugarDvd.com, according to news website TMZ.com, which has confirmed the existence of the racy film. SugarDvd.com bosses have reportedly offered Kardishian, the daughter of famed attorney Robert Kardishian, a $2 million (£1 million) deal for the exclusive rights to the tape. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:17pm EST MySpace Developing Parent-Notification Tool. Parents of teenagers breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday as social network site MySpace confirmed that it's developing parent-notification and age-verification software. The latter is important because 14- and 15-year-olds using the site now are placed in a separate area where older strangers cannot contact them. MySpace, which was bought by News Corp. in 2005, does not allow people under 14 to join, although there's nothing preventing children from lying about their ages when registering. The new desktop software, code-named "Zephyr," was first reported Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal. In developing the tool, MySpace is trying to appease critics that say it hasn't done enough to verify ages of members and to protect minors against sexual predators. Police reports across the U.S. cite dozens of cases where MySpace teens have been molested, and some murdered, by people who first contact them through the site, the Journal said. A group of 33 state attorneys general are now considering legal action if MySpace doesn't increase its age limit to 16, and find a way to verify ages. The site claims technology doesn't exist to make that possible. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:17pm EST Global PC shipments grow, but revenue remains flat. The PC industry is running hard, but staying in the same spot. Shipments of desktops, notebooks and servers with processors from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices grew by about 10 percent worldwide in 2006, according to figures released Wednesday from research firm Gartner. During the calendar year, 239.4 million PCs left factories. Hewlett-Packard, the largest PC maker in the world for two straight quarters, expanded its lead over rival Dell in the fourth quarter worldwide. HP also edged closer to Dell in U.S. shipments. IDC found similar results, which were also released Wednesday.  News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:16pm EST Domains Draw Big Bucks at Internext Auction. Several premium domains sold for big numbers during the live adult domain auction held on the closing day of the Internext convention, bringing in nearly $2 million in sales. Sites that nabbed big bucks included BDSM.com (sold to Legendary Lars for $295,000), Opportunity.com ($150,000), InterracialSex ($150,000), SheMale.com (which went to PussyCash for $125,000), HandJob.com ($90,000), KinkySex.com ($88,500), TeenModels ($80,000), GayPride.com ($60,000), Censored.com ($58,000), WeirdSex.com ($58,750), XXXCams.com ($30,000), Behind.com ($13,000), AmateurPictures.com ($12,000), and HotLips ($12,000). News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:14pm EST German Conservative Thrown Out of CDU for Porn Past. Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) prides itself on its strong moral values. Which is why the revelation that a local party member had appeared in an adult movie in his past led to his expulsion. According to the Christian Democratic Union's (CDU) official Web site, the German conservtive party's philosophy is to "unite Catholics and Protestants, Conservatives and Liberals, proponents of Christian social ideals, and men and women from various regions, social classes, and democratic traditions." With this in mind, the expulsion Tuesday of CDU member Alexander Maassen from his local party branch could be seen as being slightly hypocritical. Taking part of the philosophy literally -- the part about uniting "men and women from various regions, social classes, and democratic traditions" -- Maassen did just that. The part that his fellow conservatives took exception to, however, is that he was "uniting" with them in a porno flick. Maassen, a 52-year-old trained doctor who joined the CDU when he was 14, was expelled after it was revealed that he had appeared in, and partly narrated, a blue movie entitled "Beauty Gang" five years ago. He was informed of the CDU's decision in a letter from the branch chairman, Kurt Wansner. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:13pm EST Tempe tries to tame its sex-themed businesses. Tempe leaders kept quiet when porn mogul Larry Flynt threw a grand opening bash for his Hustler Hollywood store in the city last month. But that doesn’t mean they ignored the emporium of adult videos, toys and sex-related items. The city is looking to tighten regulations on all kinds of businesses that deal with sex, from adult video shops to clubs where people go to have sex. One new restriction goes before the City Council tonight, a ban on sexual encounter centers, also known as swinger clubs. This comes months after a strip club owner filed a federal lawsuit against the city for blocking the business. And the city is studying whether it can put further restrictions on stores like Hustler Hollywood on Broadway Road, which the city has virtually no control over because the shop doesn’t stock enough sexual material to be classified as an adult businesses. Blogs Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:13pm EST “Sinning” is an archery term, which literally means “to miss the mark.” If you’re blogging to establish a two-way dialogue with the world, the “mark” is the optimal reader experience. The following is a list of ten things that can hurt your blog’s usability. 10. Sending Mixed Messages. The focus of your blog should be decided before your first post and then committed to. Random blog entries about a melee of topics might work for a personal blog read by friends and family, but is not a good approach for a serious, professional blog. The lifeblood of any blog is in its loyal subscriber base. And readers are more willing to subscribe to blogs that talk about their area of interest on a consistent basis. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:11pm EST Google Checkout Promo A Cause For Concern? Google Checkout appears to be branching out, and not everyone is happy about it. Google purists are annoyed that product information is taking up an increasing amount of space on the main results page; other observers are concerned that the search engine company is no longer being fair to competitors. Ionut Alex. Chitu first noticed these changes in November, but they appeared to be tied directly to the Christmas shopping season. Now, as discovered by Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan, it seems that they're undergoing a wider release. Increasing Google Checkout's visibility, by itself, isn't exactly a malicious act. But, "That move, along with just having dropped map links to competitors and in the wake of last month's tips fiasco, rings alarm bells that Google's not thinking clearly about the best way to balance promoting its own products and the trust of users," Danny observed. "Trust" became an issue, in part, because of the search results themselves. Thanks to the changes, the links to "product search results" and to "results available through Google Checkout" are almost equally prominent. But while there were over 11,000 product search results for sd cards 128 mb, the search engine company's service offers just 280 alternatives. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:10pm EST It was all undoubtedly an initiation into sex, but I felt like it was addressed to Hannibal Lecter. There were hacked-off feet, seared together from what must have been scorching heat and violent fire, leaving only tiny gaps between them. Horrifying limbless torsos, and genitalia everywhere -- lone detached penises, solo vulvas in various states, some with hair and some without, all the ghastly color of dead flesh, all cool to the touch. Surely I had wandered onto the set of "Silence of the Porn Stars." Or maybe I was standing in the middle of an Adult Video News expo, surrounded by the latest crop of porn star anatomy sex toys. OK, I was, and this was in 2005, but you get the idea: With all the human parts on jiggly, fleshy display in the other parts of the expo that were just as artificial as their molded counterparts, it was easy to feel the disconnect. News Article Thursday, January 18th 2007, 12:09pm EST AOL phishing fraudster found guilty. A Californian conman who posed as a rep from AOL's billing department in order to dupe users into handing over financial details has been convicted of ID theft offences. Jeffrey Brett Goodin, 45, of Azusa, California, was found guilty last week of sending thousands of bogus emails to AOL customers in the first conviction by a jury under the CAN SPAM Act 2003, the US's anti-spam laws. Goodin used a number of compromised Earthlink accounts to distribute messages supposedly originating from AOL's billing department. Prospective marks were referred to a number of bogus websites maintained by Goodin where they were invited to submit their personal details, including credit card numbers, under threat that failure to do so would result in the suspension of their internet access services.

European authorities have agreed to harmonise the laws that govern the sale of adult computer games to minors, following a call from EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini for violent video games to be banned. Speaking after an informal meeting of EU internal ministers in Dresden, Frattini called for EU-wide cooperation in the banning of computer games."An important decision was made to launch a public request for knowing about different legislation and criteria that are enforced to try and improve the common level in order to ban and to punish," he told journalists. Ministers at the meeting where unanimous in their agreement that they should harmonise the means by which the sale of adult computer games to minors is prevented.

News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:13pm EST Porn purveyor seeks to reassure Mission. The abandoned historic building once at the center of gentrification wars, failed development projects and much controversy has been sold — and the porn distributor moving in wants to assure the neighborhood that his business will bring positive change to the community.On Dec. 29, it was announced that Web-based porn distributor Kink.com purchased the property for $14.5 million with the intent of using it as a studio for fetish films. At the Mission Merchants Association meeting Tuesday, several members expressed outrage as to why they were not notified about the “porn palace,” being that the building is a block away from a school and in a family-oriented area. Those familiar with the building’s history were also baffled at how quickly the process was completed — within two months. “First of all, the owner sold it out from under those that wanted the armory for housing — and I don’t think this business is conducive to the family community in the Mission distinct. It came out of the blue and nothing was discussed, ” said Chuck Ayala, who owns the Centro Latino de San Francisco senior center a block away from the armory. Peter Acworth, founder of Kink.com, told members at the meeting that he was confined to a verbal confidentiality agreement and could not come forward to the community until the private sale was finalized.

Bernstein, a partner in the firm of Eric M. Bernstein & Associates L.L.C., wanted to make sure they didn't misconstrue the convention as just another networking and partying event. Bernstein, getting down to business, began his workshop on the brass tacks of running an adult Internet company from a legal perspective by saying, "This is a fucking business, folks, not the business of fucking." Bernstein broke down the legal aspects of building an adult Internet business into manageable units: forming a corporation; drafting contracts and releases; acquiring/creating licensed content; copyright and trademark issues; website development; community standards awareness; and compliance with all mandates, laws, and regulations. News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:10pm EST Is Live Sex On-Demand Coming to Hotel TVs? In the world of on-demand viewing of sexually explicit material, the next step could be the ability to watch live performers from the privacy of a hotel room. That was one topic during a panel discussion here at Internext, an annual trade show for sex entertainment industry producers, marketers and payment processors. Gregory Clayman, the owner of the live-action company Video Secrets, predicted that the industry would soon be selling not just videos on demand in mainstream hotels, but images of people having sex live over the hotels’ entertainment systems. “We feel that live, right now, is coming of age,” Mr. Clayman said. “We are planning to make the jump to hotel rooms.” He said that as television sets and computers merge into the same appliance, he saw no reason that live action sex would not get a place in on-demand services in hotels. Some existing Web sites already allow customers to send text messages to direct the performers. News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:07pm EST The Post-YouTube Porn Explosion. If parents want to keep images of graphic sex hidden away from their little darlings, they might have to throw away their computers. With the explosion of online video, a surge of YouTube inspired sex-sites has arrived. Borrowing the same upload model and willful disregard for copyright laws, the next generation of porn sites have made it a whole lot easier for little Johnny to watch videos with names like "teens in satin panties" and "Adriana Sage rides the monkey rocker." Pornotube.com, with its obvious nod to YouTube, is currently the reigning free-sex site on the web. If you think this is fringe business for a small gang of perverts, think again. According to web traffic monitor Alexa.com, the fledgling Pornotube.com ranks among the top 200 websites in the world, well above Target.com, BestBuy.com, Earthlink.net, Netflix.com and social networking site Bebo.com. (Non-porn video-sharing sites Revver.com and Grouper.com, by comparison, are positioned somewhere between 2,500th and 3,000th.) News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:06pm EST Yahoo Displays SERP Title Based On Anchor Text. The dichotomy of having a Yahoo directory listing has been known for years. You want a directory listing for the authority link and the improved Yahoo ranking, but your home page link will then show in search results with your directory listing title and not the page title you spent so much time crafting. Your site gets more visibility, but potentially suffers from lower click through. Even if you don't have a listing in their directory Yahoo may now be grabbing page titles from another source that could potentially be damaging to your brand. News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:05pm EST U.S.: No Net governance changes expected. Are tensions related to the United States' historic influence over key Internet management functions a thing of the past? Two senior Bush administration officials involved in setting Net policy say that's the case. At a meeting here organized by the Federal Communications Bar Association, U.S. Ambassador David Gross and Assistant Secretary of Commerce John Kneuer said they view the question as settled: no United Nations body will be exercising additional control over tasks like handing out numeric Internet addresses or operating the root servers that power the Internet anytime soon. They said they were encouraged that the new leadership of the International Telecommunications Union, a U.N. agency, claims to be more interested in focusing on promoting cybersecurity and bridging the so-called digital divide than on setting up a new management structure for the Net, as some have called for in the past. "That's very much in harmony with our views," said Gross, whose chief responsibility is coordinating international communications and information policy. Business Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:04pm EST Stake Your Claim on the Mobile Web. With the Internet growing so rapidly do you ever wonder if you are missing a new trend or technology that could boost your bottom line? Well, there just happens to be a piece of the Internet that I bet you haven't made the leap to yet and it is going to be BIG. This new space is mobile search and mobile Internet surfing. I know, I know, mobile Internet use has been around for a while, but even now it is very much in the infancy phase of development. After all, it was only over the past year that a W3C working draft appeared that allows web designers to create mobile sites compatible with the many mobile phone browsers. I have tried to use the search and navigation abilities on mobile phones and I have not been impressed; clunky is a nice way to put it. That said, there is no question in my mind this is a market that will explode over the next couple of years. To back up my lofty claim here are just a few of the notable headlines on the build-up to mobile search and advertising published over the last 30 days. News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:02pm EST New Guys vs Gals sex survey proves that life is 'lust' cause. Birds do it, bees do it, and American men and woman certainly enjoy doing it - but often in very different ways. That's the finding of a new survey of sexual habits, desires and quirks in the United States being published jointly this month by Esquire and Marie Claire, two magazines normally tailored to the separate interests of men and women. The random-sample survey - of more than 1,700 people between the ages of 21 and 49 - found that 90 percent of American men and 94 percent of women are having sex five or fewer times per week. But they're often not "doing it" with their spouses or significant others. Nearly 50 percent of men said they have cheated - or would do so, given the chance - while just 34 percent of women answered "yes" to that question. And when asked, "What do you want more of?" men had a clear preference for oral sex - performed on them, of course - while women craved an erotic massage. Men, on average, have had sex with 14 people in their life, three more than the average woman. Women said they surfed the 'Net for pornography for 11/2 hours per week, while the average man lingered online about an hour longer to leer at lusty images - and was more than twice as likely to peruse porn at work. News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 12:01pm EST I'm confused. I went to CES last week where I managed to get at least three or four conflicting reports about where Blu-ray going and how it’s going to get there. For instance, the Blu Ray Association had a very impressive line-up of most of the key Hollywood studio CEOs to explain which movies were on the way. And there are quite a few. This was followed by some great statistics about just how doomed HD DVD was and how the PS3 will tip the balance. I then ambled by the HD DVD side of the fence and got a conflicting set of stats and forecasts. I’m beginning to think that market research just might be a bit biased, depending on who’s paying. Anyway, apart from those two camps, the most accurate insight into how the war was shaping up came from a less obvious source: the porn convention across town.

News Article Wednesday, January 17th 2007, 11:59am EST Corporate users of some Symantec antivirus product are facing persistent attacks that target a vulnerability that the security provider patched more than seven months ago. The attacks are yet more proof that IT professionals, not just mom and pops running their first PC, are dangerously lax about installing crucial security patches. The exploits turn user PCs into zombies that spew spam and carry out nefarious acts, such as denial of service attacks. The attack targets unpatched versions of Symantec Client Security and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, according to CNET. New variants of the worm that target the vulnerability surfaced in mid December and are proving more effective than previous ones, a senior director of Symantec said. Symantec had initially dismissed the flaw, saying it wasn't likely to be exploited, until the first version of the worm surfaced in November.

News Article Tuesday, January 16th 2007, 12:15pm EST No future in porn downloads: adult industry. It's often said that the porn industry has led the market in working out new ways to make money from the Internet. Adult sites were the first to make use of affiliate marketing schemes to sell their wares, and the first to offer subscription sites for selling both images and video. As video download services become more common -- helped along in Australia by the belated arrival of something resembling a decent broadband speed for most users -- it stands to reason that they might want to see how well the porn industry has done in this space.The answer to that question is somewhat surprising. Rather than aiming to download high-quality movies either permanently or temporarily, it seems that the majority of adult viewers are quite happy with short spurts of viewing, using relatively low-resolution streaming protocols. Richard Cohen: likes the long tail effect"98% of the business is streaming," said Richard Cohen, CEO of Hotmovies.com, a prominent pay-per-minute adult site network which charges its customers US 10 cents per minute to watch the skin flick of their choice. Apparently, it's a fairly quick process. "Customers do not want to watch entire movies," Cohen said. "They want to watch scenes. They might watch a scene once or twice, then they move on - but they come back to the site over and over again." Search Engines Tuesday, January 16th 2007, 12:14pm EST Hey, I have been searching around forums and such, trying to get an answer and can't seem to find one. What determines whether pages get sent to the supplemental or omitted results section of Google? The closest info I could find is that means that there is duplicate content. However, on my reciprocal links pages, there is no unique content as I'm sure those links are posted on many hundreds of other websites duplicated across the web. What can I do to get my currently "omitted results" pages into the main index section of Google? Thanks in advance for your help.
