Yesterday, Drew Cullen contributed an article to the British online magazine The Register about raids on a Finnish BitTorrent hosting site that featured this conspicuously placed, very funny, and too-unnecessary-to-be-unintentional abbreviation:
The Motion Picture Ass. of America (MPAA) today announced (PDF) that it is pursuing civil actions against hundreds of server operators of BitTorrent, eDonkey and DirectConnect P2P file-swapping networks, in its war on internet [sic] movie piracy.Elsewhere in The Register, Jan Libbenga reports that life is good in the Netherlands:
Employees in the Netherlands can't be sacked for downloading Internet pornography onto office computers unless there is a clear code of conduct, according to the Dutch legal trade magazine People Planet Profit, which conducted research on the subject.
