A few of days ago, The epic legal battle between the P2P file sharing software known as "LimeWire" versus the RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America) has officialy ended.
Few that were following this case were surprised how it would end, and few were surprised when the court decided that "LimeWire" should pay for lost revenue.
However, there was a particularly surprising event that occurred when the amount for damages was released.
According to the RIAA, and the investigators they hired, the determined amount came out to a woping sum of $1.5 Trillion. No friends, this is not a typo that is Trillion with a capital gold plated "T". the figure is based on a fine of $750 dollars per infringement of copyright multiplied by 200 million estimated occurrences of copyright infringement.
RIAA is not stupid however, they do seem to acknowledge that this debt could not ever be paid off, so they demaned that the service be shut down permanently. "LimeWire" was allowed a small allowance on this, but in the coming days, it will be never more.
The FBI is facing accusations that it inadvertently helped Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch prime suspect in the 2005 murder of an American teenager, fly to Peru where he is alleged to have confessed to killing another woman last week.
According to Associated Press, US authorities delayed arresting Van der Sloot despite the fact that they had already reopened the case of Natalee Holloway, who disappeared from the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba five years ago. The FBI is also accused of having given him $15,000 in a sting operation that was designed to build a murder case against him over Holloway's disappearance.
