It’s not a good idea to risk with selling an illegal software if you live in the USA. The owner of one of the nation’s largest Internet software piracy Web sites has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison. Nathan Peterson, 27, of Los Angeles, sold products copyrighted by companies such as Microsoft Corp. and Adobe Systems Inc. at a huge discount on his site, iBackups.net, prosecutors said. The site began operating in 2003 and was shut down by the FBI in February 2005. In addition to Friday’s 87-month sentence, U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III ordered Peterson to pay restitution of more than $5.4 million and to forfeit the proceeds of his scheme, which included homes, cars and a boat.Peterson pleaded guilty in December in Alexandria to two counts of copyright infringement.

Justice Department and industry officials called the case one of the largest involving Internet software piracy ever prosecuted. Last month, Ellis sentenced a Florida man to six years in prison for selling illegal copies of computer programs on another site, BuysUSA.com. Big Brother is always watching you…

A polish group with strange name CH.W.D.F released a dvdrip of low budget action drama Animal. Made from retail R1 DVD, this dvdrip offers a nice quality on one CD. Animal is a name of dangerous gangster, so this is not a harmless documentary, but a movie full of gore and violence…

Animal is a violent gang member sentenced to prison, leaving his young son to grow up alone on the streets. While in prison, Animal meets an aging black revolutionary who changes the way Animals sees himself and his place in the world. When Animal returns home many years later, now a reformed man, he discovers his son has assumed his life of crime and must find a way to tear down the gangster legacy that he created himself.

A great surprise for lazy Sunday morning brought guys from release group ZN – they put out a dvdrip of Da Vinci Code, extra popular and discussed movie with Tom Hanks in the main role. Their 2 CD release includes nice NFO with message about propering this release – lately very popular act, nuking every second release for some stupid reason. Quality is 100% this time after watching the sample…

When respected American religious symbology expert Dr. Robert Langdon(Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre by the French version of the FBI, led by Captain Bezu Fache(Reno), he soon discovered that he is the #1 suspect for the murder of a historian Langdon had been scheduled to meet with.. Assisted by a French cryptographer and government agent named Sophie(Tautou), Langdon is challenged to decipher a chain of cryptic codes and puzzles, all the while trying to stay ahead of Fache’s lawmen in a chase through the Louvre, and out into the Parisian cityscape, and finally across the channel to England. Can Langdon and Sophie decipher the nature of a secret dating back to Leonardo Da Vinci and earlier before those responsible for the historian’s murder add them to their hit list..?

Security firm Websense warned this week that attackers had apparently broke into the Web site of telecommunications company Samsung, infecting certain portions of the site with a Trojan horse. The firm said it was likely that the site had been infected for some time. “The most current code, which is still available for download, is a Trojan Horse that attempts to disable anti-virus programs, modify registry keys, download additional files, and log keystrokes when connecting to banking websites,” Websense said in an advisory. While the Trojan is dangerous, it requires user interaction in order for it to be installed onto the computer.

The security firm said it believed those infected were being lured to the site through instant messaging or e-mail links. Websense has alerted Samsung of the problem, but as of Friday morning the code was still accessible on the site. The fact that the malware is coming from a reputable source’s actual Web site, rather than some faked version, worries researchers. Samsung has not publicly commented on the situation.

The competition for digital music and video market is getting another strong player: Amazon on Thursday announced the launch of a digital video download service that will set the online retailer against other major players including Apple’s iTunes service. Amazon said its new Unbox service would offer customers thousands of television shows, movies and other video content from more than 30 studio and network partners from Hollywood and around the world. Amazon said its service would be the only one to offer DVD-quality pictures. The technology would also allow customers to buy from one PC, such as an office computer, and download the content to another at home.

Video over the internet has become a major growth market as broadband penetration has increased, fuelling the success of YouTube and other video-sharing sites. Amazon’s move will be seen as a threat to online DVD rental companies such as Netflix and to the smaller video sites. Amazon’s announcement came with endorsements from six major Hollywood studios, including 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros., as well as TV networks such as CBS and Fox, and cable channels such as Comedy Central and E! Entertainment. May be a lot of people will be downloading new episodes of their favourite tv shows like Prison Break pretty soon. I’m sure this will have a decent success, even if it costs some money…
