		<description><![CDATA[As long as it sticks through the appeals process, this is good news: The Pirate bay verdict: guilty, with jail time: The Pirate Bay &#8220;spectrial&#8221; has ended in a guilty verdict, prison sentences for the defendants, and a shared 30 million kronor ($3.5 million) fine. According to the Swedish district court, the operators of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boing Boing tries to make the point that intellectual property protections &#8220;suppresses&#8221; art. Idiots. The woman in this particular case simply chose the wrong song for her animation. That&#8217;s her mistake. Animator Nina Paley&#8217;s brilliant film, &#8220;Sita Sings The Blues,&#8221; has been wowing the festival circuit but you&#8217;re probably not going to see it anytime [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article at ARS Technica, or at least its subject matter, likely deserves a better treatment. Perhaps that&#8217;ll come in time. For now, consider this one snippet: In aÂ letterÂ sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, a coalition of library associations and consumer advocacy groups criticized the bill, warning that an &#8220;unbalanced approach to enforcement would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d heard of Scribd.com on a number of occasions, but never visited. I&#8217;d heard it described as theÂ place to find illegal copies of protected works, but imagined&#8211;stupidly so, as it turns out&#8211;such descriptions to be overblown. As it turns out, there definitely is copyright material posted on Scribd.com, and it took me all of 20 [...]]]></description>

These are unprotected, full-length novels in PDF and HTML formats by some of sci-fi and fantasy&#8217;s best and most well-known writers.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll have more, I&#8217;m sure, on the entirely ludicrous &#8220;infinite goods&#8221; excuse for software piracy*, but I found this storyÂ very ironic. It seems that some Lefty independent bands are having a hard time making money from touring because of gas prices. I mention this because one of the ideas of the aforementioned theory is that [...]]]></description>
