KAZAA HELD LIABLE
September 5, 2005 - Australia
The continuing war between file-sharing services and the record labels has moved to Australia where the Australian Federal Court ordered Kazaa's owners, Sharman Networks, to modify the software to prevent further piracy. This is just another one of the many court cases the record labels are bringing in the US and around the world to protect their music. Earlier in the year the US Supreme Court ruled that file-sharing services could be held liable for copyright infringement under certain circumstances. In the ongoing war between File Sharing Services and the Record Industry as the industry targets one file sharing company others become more popular with Bit Torrent now 4 times as popular as Kazaa. It is thought that nearly 50% of all traffic on the Internet is Peer to Peer traffic.

about Eyesight Myth and Fact
Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes.
Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen.
