New Ruling on Selling Promo CD's
by SLAVA KUPERSTEIN
An appeals court rules against Universal Music in what could be a landmark case.
An appeals court upheld on Tuesday (January 4) a ruling that said consumers have the right to re-sell promotional CDs.
A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit determined that Los Angeles music re-seller Troy Augusto was within his rights by buying and re-selling music, including promo CDs that are often issued by record labels. Universal Music Group sued Augusto and his company back in 2007, arguing that the distribution of the CDs without its permition was a violation of copyright.

Fuckin Lunatic
Wipe that smirk off your face, you sick S.O.B.
Jared Lee Loughner, the young wacko accused of shooting US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head and killing six others in Tucson, looked every bit the face of evil yesterday -- grinning like a maniac as he appeared before a federal judge for the first time since Saturday's massacre.
Loughner, 22, sported a shaved head and a cut or bruise on the right side of his forehead during the brief hearing in Phoenix federal court, where he was ordered held without bail on charges that included the attempted assassination of a congresswoman.
Seattle Super Hero Gets Nose Broken
SEATTLE — One self-styled Seattle caped crusader against crime has a broken nose after a weekend encounter with two men who didn't appreciate his efforts.
KOMO-TV says a man who calls himself Phoenix Jones spends several nights a week patrolling Seattle streets, wearing a mask and cape and carrying a stun gun.
But on Saturday night, Jones says one man held him at gunpoint and another broke his nose.
Jones describes the encounter as no big deal. But Seattle police Detective Mark Jamieson says when Jones and his "Rain City Superhero" colleagues insert themselves into potentially volatile situations, they can end up as victims.
