Here's a concept to give the folks at the MPAA a heart-attack and have the lawyers rubbing their hands in glee. BitTorrent works by leveraging tracking sites that distribute .torrent files. The .torrent files are the heart of the BitTorrent network. But with the recent legal onslaught against tracker sites, it's becoming harder for your average internet criminal to break the law. Welcome to Socialized.Net -- a technology demonstration of how a P2P search infrastructure could be leveraged to help you find .torrent files, while reducing the exposure to a centralized legal salvo. Instead of using trackers to centralized the distribution of .torrent files, they will be found amongst your peers in a social network. Navigating a social network for .torrent files would be difficult of course, unless that network also had a handy-dandy search engine. Very interesting.

Civil disobedience is called for

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
