Google Fights Domain Name Tasting

Google Inc. announced yesterday that it would begin to take increasing measures against domain name tasting, a practice which exploits a grace period originally designed to rectify legitimate mistakes, such as registrants mistyping the domain name they are about to buy. With automation and a burgeoning online advertising market, entrepreneurs have generated big bucks by exploiting this policy to test hoards of names, keeping just the ones that turn out to generate the most revenue; unfortunately for legitimate users, these entrepreneurs can tie up millions of domain names at any given moment.

T-Mobile invades busy London rail station

T-Mobile invaded London's Liverpool Street station yesterday to the shock and amazement of onlookers. 350 dancers performed surprise routines as commuters passed through the concourse of Liverpool Street Station at 11am yesterday. 'Dance', created by Saatchi & Saatchi London, was produced using hidden TV cameras within the station, which captured the reactions of commuters as they watched the dancers perform. The three-minute guerrilla-style ad, which is part of T-Mobile's 'Life's for Sharing' campaign aired tonight on British terrestrial TV. The dancers were similar to Internet based "flash mobs" where hundreds of people organise to meet in a public place and have water fights, pillow fights or parties.

BitTorrent use soars as MPAA fights on against P2P sites

Both the music and movie industries see file-sharing as a very real threat to their livelihood. Their approaches to the problem have differed, however, as the RIAA has targeted individual P2P users with lawsuits while the IFPI and MPAA have chosen to go after BitTorrent sites. The MPAA has scored some high-profile victories against P2P site operators and the men behind The Pirate Bay have been indicted by Swedish prosecutors, but many observers have questioned whether the motion picture industry's efforts are in fact backfiring, as traffic to popular BitTorrent sites and participation in swarms appears to be on the upswing.
