Popular file-sharing website Megaupload shut down (AP)

McLEAN, Va. ? One of the world’s most popular file-sharing sites was shuttered Thursday, and its founder and several company officials were accused of facilitating millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content.

An indictment accused Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to make it easier for authorities to go after websites with pirated material, especially those with overseas headquarters and servers.

Megaupload is based in Hong Kong, but some of the alleged pirated content was hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va., which gave federal authorities jurisdiction, the indictment said.

The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, 37, and three other employees were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Three other defendants are at large.

Before Megaupload was taken down, it posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were “grotesquely overblown.”

“The fact is that the vast majority of Mega’s Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch,” the statement said.

The indictment may have prompted a response from the loose affiliation of hackers known as “Anonymous,” which claimed credit for attacking the Justice Department’s website. The site was inaccessible Thursday evening.

“The Department of Justice web server hosting justice.gov is currently experiencing a significant increase in activity, resulting in a degradation in service,” the agency said in a statement. “The Department is working to ensure the website is available while we investigate the origins of this activity, which is being treated as a malicious act until we can fully identify the root cause of the disruption.”

A spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America said in an emailed statement Thursday that the group’s site had been hacked, although it appeared to be working later Thursday evening.

“The motion picture and television industry has always been a strong supporter of free speech,” the spokesman said. “We strongly condemn any attempts to silence any groups or individuals.”

Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.

The company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO. He was not named in the indictment and declined to comment through a representative.

According to the indictment, Megaupload was estimated at one point to be the 13th most frequently visited website on the Internet. Current estimates by companies that monitor Web traffic place it in the top 100.

The five-count indictment, which alleges copyright infringement as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering and racketeering, described a site designed specifically to reward users who uploaded pirated content for sharing, and turned a blind eye to requests from copyright holders to remove copyright-protected files.

For instance, users received cash bonuses if they uploaded content popular enough to generate massive numbers of downloads, according to the indictment. Such content was almost always copyright protected.

The site boasted 150 million registered users and about 50 million hits daily. The Justice Department said it was illegal for anyone to download pirated content, but their investigation focused on the leaders of the company, not end users who may have downloaded a few movies for personal viewing.

A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined comment Thursday. Efforts to reach an attorney representing Dotcom were unsuccessful.

Megaupload is considered a “cyberlocker,” in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.

The website allowed users to download some content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.

The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va. Prosecutors there have pursued multiple piracy investigations.

Steven T. Shelton, a copyright lawyer at the Cozen O’Connor firm in New York, said opponents of the legislation are worried the proposals lessen the burden for the government to target a wide variety of websites. Shelton said he expects to see the government engage in more enforcement in the future, as technology makes it easier to catch and target suspected pirates.

“I think we’ll be seeing more of this,” he said. “This is just the beginning.”

Dotcom, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, made more than $42 million from the site in 2010 alone, according to the indictment.

Dotcom had his name legally changed. He was previously known as Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor. He is founder, former CEO and current chief innovation officer of Megaupload.

Officials estimated it could be a year or more before Dotcom and the others arrested in New Zealand are formally extradited.

The others arrested were Finn Batato, 38, a citizen and resident of Germany, the company’s chief marketing officer; Mathias Ortmann, 40, a citizen of Germany and resident of both Germany and Hong Kong, who is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director; and Bram van der Kolk, aka Bramos, 29, a Dutch citizen and resident of both the Netherlands and New Zealand, who oversees programming.

Still at large are Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, the site’s graphic designer; Sven Echternach, 39, a citizen and resident of Germany, head of business development; and Andrus Nomm, 32, a citizen of Estonia and resident of both Turkey and Estonia, head of the development software division.

Several sister sites were also shut down, including one dedicated to sharing pornography files.

More Americans Practicing Safe Sex, CDC Reports (HealthDay)

THURSDAY, Jan. 19 (HealthDay News) — The number of Americans who practice behaviors that put them at risk for HIV infection has declined significantly, federal health officials reported Thursday.

The ranks of those engaging in a risky sexual or drug-related behavior dropped from 13 percent of men and 11 percent of women in 2002 to 10 percent and 8 percent, respectively, in 2010, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Generally, these are behaviors that are studied in higher risk populations, but by looking in the household population we can get a better sense of the level of risk that may exist in the general population that you don’t normally think about,” said report author Anjani Chandra, a health scientist at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.

Some of the risk factors the researchers looked at were gay and bisexual sex, illicit drug use and having several sexual partners or a partner who injects illegal drugs, she said.

“For women, we don’t really see that the decline is due to any variation in sexual risk behaviors, whereas for men we see substantial difference by race,” she said.

The reasons for the decline in risk behaviors is not clear, Chandra said. Some of the public health messages might be getting through. It also could be that people are reluctant to disclose that they engage in risky behaviors, she said.

“But, it could be real and reflect actual changes in behavior,” she said.

The data in the report was collected on almost 23,000 men and women aged 15 to 44 in households throughout the country and represents 6.5 million men and 4.9 million women.

The decline seems to be due to a drop in risky behaviors such as having unprotected sex and having sex with multiple partners, Chandra said.

There were, however, differences in behaviors in different groups. For example, men who had recently been in prison were more likely to report engaging in one or more HIV risk behaviors, compared with other men, the researchers found.

There were also significant variations based on race and income level, they reported.

Sixteen percent of young black men ages 15 to 24 reported at least one HIV risk-related sexual behavior, compared with 8.7 percent of Hispanic men and 6.5 percent of young white men. Poorer men were also more likely to engage in risky behaviors.

The HIV risk in households is not something one usually thinks about when one thinks about HIV risk, Chandra said.

“In household populations, where you may think these behaviors are nonexistent or very rare, they are occurring and they may be placing people at risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases,” Chandra said. “Just focusing on high-risk populations may not take care of the concerns that we have.”

Dr. Sten Vermund, director of the Institute of Global Health at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, said that the data used was “a highly valid sample of the American population.”

Both sexual and drug-related risk behaviors declined in the study period, and that is a positive trend, he said.

“Risk behaviors remain high and the likelihood of encountering an HIV-infected person has never been higher,” Vermund noted. “Nonetheless, there is a strong indication that prevention programs are working or cultural norms are shifting, or both.”

Philip Alcabes, an associate professor in the School of Health Sciences at Hunter College/City University of New York, is critical of the report as another example of how the government still avoids the real problem of HIV.

“What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars,” he said. “Having failed to advocate for structural changes that would actually reduce risk of HIV acquisition and having failed to implement widespread, easily accessible syringe exchange programs, federal agencies instead spend their time studying personal behavior. It’s a shame.”

“Even though our officials don’t have a clear concept of what really happened 30 years ago, they are still looking at AIDS through the same moralizing lens that was common in 1981. That’s sad, and disturbing,” he said.

Five Europeans killed in attack in remote Ethiopia (Reuters)

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) ? Five European tourists were killed, and two tourists and two Ethiopians were kidnapped, in an attack by gunmen in northern Ethiopia’s remote Afar region, the Ethiopian government said on Wednesday.

Government spokesman Bereket Simon told Reuters two Germans, two Hungarians and an Austrian died in the dawn attack in an arid area prone to banditry where separatist rebels have operated.

On Wednesday afternoon, eleven tired-looking survivors still dressed in trekking clothing arrived by plane in the capital, Addis Ababa.

Several hid their faces from the awaiting television cameras. One was pushed through the airport in a wheelchair, his knees and arms heavily bruised, before the group was whisked away in diplomatic vehicles.

There was confusion over who had been wounded in the attack, and their nationalities. Addis Ababa initially said a Hungarian and an Italian were wounded, but Rome later denied one of its citizens had been hurt.

Hungarian authorities confirmed one of their nationals was wounded. Belgium’s Foreign Ministry spokesman told Reuters a Belgian and a national from another country who lived in Brussels were injured and had been taken to a hospital in Mekele, northeastern Ethiopia’s biggest city.

Afar is a barren corner in the Horn of Africa country, and one of the earth’s harshest terrains. The highest average annual temperature ever recorded was in Afar’s Danakil Depression at 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.4 Celsius).

ERITREA SCOFFS AT BLAME GAME

Ethiopia quickly blamed its neighbor and arch-foe Eritrea for the attack, saying it had trained and armed the gunmen responsible. Ethiopia also blamed an Afar rebel movement for kidnapping five Westerners in the region in 2007.

Eritrea’s envoy to the African Union, Girma Asmerom, was swift to reject the Ethiopian accusation, telling Reuters: “This is pathetic, an absolute lie.”

The Afar province’s rock-strewn hills give way to vast deserts below sea level, and dry river-beds and acacia thorn-trees dot the landscape. Banditry is widespread in a region once described by the late British explorer Wilfred Thesiger as a “veritable land of death.”

Foreigners who venture out into the area usually include researchers, aid workers and some 500 adventure tourists each year visiting geographical wonders like the Danakil Depression, with ancient salt mines and volcanoes.

“The attack occurred at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, in which Eritrean-trained groups also kidnapped four. Two of them are foreigners, one is a driver and the other a policeman,” Bereket said.

Ethiopian state television said the victims were part of a 27-member party that also included U.S., Australian and Belgian nationals.

“The group may have consisted of two groups of travelers consisting of nationals from a series of European countries, most likely including Austria,” Austria’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal told Reuters.

A German Foreign Ministry spokesman said Berlin was working with its embassy in Addis Ababa to clarify what had happened.

A German media report said the group of tourists had been close to the Erta Ale volcano, one of Ethiopia’s most active.

BITTER ENEMIES

Ethiopia said the four hostages might have been taken across the frontier into Eritrea.

“On previous occasions, when tourists have been kidnapped, the Eritrean government had tried to use the prisoners as a bargaining chip in its diplomatic activities,” Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement

In 2007, gunmen seized five Europeans and eight locals in Afar. The Europeans were handed to the Eritrean authorities less than two weeks later and Britain said Asmara had helped secure their release. The eight locals were freed a few weeks later.

Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a 1998-2000 border war that killed some 70,000 people, and the dispute still festers.

Addis Ababa routinely accuses Asmara of supporting Ethiopian separatist groups, while Eritrea says the accusations are lies designed to tarnish its reputation.

“It has become a trend for Ethiopia to fabricate sensational news against Eritrea whenever the summit is nearing,” Girma told Reuters, referring to an African Union summit which begins in Addis Ababa next week.

Ethiopia accused Eritrea of plotting to bomb targets and disrupt an AU meeting in January last year.

Sony Xperia S comes to Play: Release date 30th of January

Sony?s Xperia S is the phone that everyone wants to be seen with at the moment. With the exception of Vodafone, all of the other networks plus Phones 4U, Clove and Ebuyer have snapped up the Xperia S.

No official release date has been set, but Clove has the 5th of March down as its ?first stock due? date. Play.com however has the 30th of January, a good month and a bit earlier.

The Sony Xperia S can be pre-ordered from Play now for ?449.99 with delivery included.

Interestingly, it?s got the phone down as the ?Sony Ericsson Xperia S? and not ?Sony Xperia S? -

assuming the regulatory nod is given before the 30th of January we imagine this will change.

Though the phone obviously doesn?t have Sony Ericsson branding on it, there?s nothing stopping retailers from selling them as Sony Ericsson phones.

So if you can?t wait to get your hands on the Xperia S and you?ve got ?450 to hand right now, Play is your destination.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Court: UK cannot send extremist preacher home to Jordan

AP, file

Abu Qatada makes a televised appeal from high security prison in London calling for the release of British hostage Norman Kember in Iraq in a picture released in 2005.

By msnbc.com staff and news services

An extremist cleric described as one of Europe’s leading al-Qaida operatives should not be deported to Jordan to face trial because of the risk that evidence obtained through torture would be used against him, Europe’s highest court ruled Tuesday.

After a six-year legal battle, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that deporting Abu Qatada from Britain ? where he is in prison custody ? would “give rise to a flagrant denial of justice.”

The move means that within days Qatada could apply for bail to be released from the maximum security prison where he is being kept, the Guardian newspaper reported.

Abu Qatada ? whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman ? is an extremist Muslim preacher from Jordan who has been described by European courts as a leading al-Qaida figure in Europe.

A Palestinian-Jordanian citizen, Abu Qatada arrived in Britain in 1993 and was detained in 2002 under anti-terrorism laws which at the time allowed suspected terrorists to be held in jail without charge.

Though Abu Qatada was released in 2005, when the unpopular law was overturned, he was kept under surveillance and arrested again within months, to be held pending his deportation to face terrorism charges in Jordan.

While living in Britain, he was convicted in his absence in Jordan of terrorist offenses related to two alleged bomb plots.

ARCHIVAL VIDEO: Feb. 18, 2009: Britain’s highest court says extremist Muslim preacher Abu Qatada can be deported to Jordan where he is wanted for two bombings.

Never faced UK charges
Although Abu Qatada has never faced criminal charges in Britain, authorities in the U.K. have accused him of advising militants and raising money for terrorist attacks. He “is a leading spiritual advisor with extensive links to, and influence over, extreme Islamists in the U.K. and overseas,” prosecutors told a British court in 2007.

Britain’s Home Secretary Theresa May said the U.K. would consider appealing the European court’s decision. It has a three-month window in which to make any appeal, the court said.

“I am disappointed that the court has made this ruling,” May said in a statement. “This is not the end of the road, and we will now consider all the legal options available to us.”

Abu Qatada will remain held in British prison custody while a decision is made, she said.

May has not specified what Britain would do if it loses any appeal, though it is likely Abu Qatada would be freed from prison and monitored under a surveillance program which requires those suspected of involvement in terorrism ? but not charged with any crime ? to abide by a curfew and wear an electronic anklet.

Britain’s Special Immigration Appeals Commission has previously been told Abu Qatada was also suspected of links to a bomb plot in Strasbourg, France, and to the raising of funds for terrorism in Chechnya.

In their ruling, the European judges based in Strasbourg said they did not accept Abu Qatada’s claims that he would face ill treatment or torture at the hands of Jordanian authorities if sent there for trial, citing recent agreements between Jordan and the U.K.

But the judges warned that evidence in his case had been obtained by torturing his co-accused.

“The court found that torture was widespread in Jordan, as was the use of torture evidence by the Jordanian courts,” the ruling said. “In relation to each of the two terrorist conspiracies … the evidence of his involvement had been obtained by torturing one of his co-defendants.”

Judges said evidence obtained through torture was illegal under international law and was also unreliable. The ruling said “there was a high probability that the incriminating evidence would be admitted … and that it would be of considerable, perhaps decisive, importance.”

Britain’s highest court had ruled in 2009 that Abu Qatada should be deported to Jordan, despite fears over his potential mistreatment.

Human rights group Liberty urged the British government to make efforts to have Abu Qatada prosecuted in Britain.

“The case … constitutes a damning indictment of the Jordanian criminal justice system where torture and evidence obtained by torture are completely commonplace,” Shami Chakrabarti, the group’s director, said in a statement. “So it is clear that, if Abu Qatada is to be tried for terrorism, this should happen in a British court without further delay.”

Compton tales always involve his hearts

HONOLULU (AP) ? Justin Leonard finished hitting wedges on the range Sunday morning and had moved on to irons as he worked his way through the bag before the final round of the Sony Open. Erik Compton arrived and took the spot next to him.

About 10 minutes later, Leonard was surprised to hear the sound of a shot from over his shoulder. He turned to see Compton bending to tee up another ball.

“You’re hitting driver already?” Leonard said.

Compton smiled and joked back, “I used to come out and just hit four drivers on the Nationwide Tour.”

One couldn’t help but wonder if that was yet another physical restriction for Compton, who already has had two heart transplants. Turns out it was the design of this range, which has a prevailing left-to-right wind that might lead to bad habits for the shape of his shot.

Compton, though, is used to every query involving his heart.

From the time he played in the 2001 Walker Cup, if not before, his story is well known, and no less amazing.

Because of viral cardiomyopathy as a kid, he had his first heart transplant when he was 12. He suffered a heart attack on Oct. 3, 2007, and drove himself to the hospital with his heart running at 15 percent capacity. His second heart transplant was seven months later, and five months later made the cut on the PGA Tour while playing on a sponsor’s exemption.

The highlight for Compton, at least on the golf course, came last summer when he won the Mexico Open on the Nationwide Tour, which coupled with good results earlier, assured him of finishing in the top 25 on the money list and graduating to the big leagues.

The Sony Open was his 31st start on the PGA Tour, his 20th since getting a third heart, his first as a full-fledged member. As if anyone could doubt a fighting spirit, he was headed toward a missed cut until finishing birdie-eagle to make the cut on the number.

With another cut in effect Saturday, Compton made a 10-foot birdie on the last hole that pushed him through to Sunday. It was worth another round, a small example of how the 32-year-old from Miami just keeps going.

There have been suggestions of a book, perhaps even a movie, of his life.

Hollywood would have no trouble finding the storybook ending. Going through a heart transplant to be a college success and play in the Walker Cup. Surviving a second heart transplant. Returning to play golf. Winning on the Nationwide Tour. Reaching the PGA Tour.

Where does it end?

“I don’t think my story is quite done yet,” Compton said. “I think sometimes Hollywood wants an ending, and something that’s going to see is never good enough. You have to win a PGA event, and then you have to win a major, and then you have to win a Grand Slam, and then you’ve got to be the president of the United States.

“It’s just a tough story to write, because it’s still in the process,” Compton said.

The hype over books and movies has subsided recently, which is OK with Compton. For all the trauma he has endured, despite a road to the PGA Tour unmatched by anyone in history, what appeals to him is the feel of a crisp shot, the satisfaction of making a big putt, a number on the card, a spot on the leaderboard.

“I just really want to be able to compete and be able to make a difference,” he said.

One of these days, Compton will get the same questions as most everyone else on the PGA Tour ? details of the round, key shots, being in contention, coping with nerves going into the weekend with a chance.

He’s different, though, because while he wants to be a golfer and achieve as much as he can, he has a story to tell about transplants. If nothing else, Compton can inspire hope.

He has a partnership with Genetec, which uses human genetic information to develop medicine to treat serious or life-threatening conditions. Compton describes it as a “perfect fit.”

“We’re trying to promote more organ donor awareness and trying to get more people to donate organs because there’s a shortage,” he said. “By me playing and being able to share my story, I think people will realize that it really is a real thing and it affects normal people every day. So I think that’s kind of the two sides of me ? the player and the transplant side to it.

“I’ve done a good job of being able to balance that when I get on the golf course,” he said. “I just feel like a regular person, and being able to play successful and good golf for me is just being healthy.”

But he is finding some normalcy in the clubhouse, on the putting green, at lunch, on the golf course.

“When I go in the locker room, they just look at me like I’m a regular player,” he said. “None of the players ever ask me, and I kind of respect that, because they understand that I’m getting that on the other end. But I kind of blend in. I’m not like a superstar that people think. I’m just a regular guy, and I look like a regular guy.”

Compton can’t think of an interview when someone didn’t mention his heart, “unless it was a reporter that didn’t have the background or didn’t have a clue.” That’s OK. He expects to get that as long as he’s playing golf, and he doesn’t mind talking about it.

Part of him looks forward to the day when he gets the same questions that Jeff Maggert received on Saturday after tying for the lead, or Brendon de Jonge on Friday after he switched back to his old putter and shot 62.

Or maybe not.

“When I see some interviews, they can be boring to me,” he said. “I mean, how much can you talk about golf?”
