Over 80 thousand Canadians signed the OpenMedia.ca petition against Lawful Access, including yours truly.

Please consider signing this petition. Thank you.

Megaupload To Sue Universal Music ?

Billboard reports that the above commercial has sparked a lawsuit in-between Megaupload and Universal Music Group.

The file sharing service claims that Universal Music Group had filed a takedown notice with Youtube for copyright infringement to have this video removed.

“Let us be clear: Nothing in our song or the video belongs to Universal Music Group,” said MegaUpload CEO David Robb. “We have signed agreements with all artists endorsing MegaUpload.”

RIAA and the artists featured on the video could not be contacted for comment by Billboard by the printing of their article.

A Warning For Online Gamers

When purchasing virtual cash in an online game try to do it during business hours and read the official forums in regards to errors prior to purchasing anything.

I’ve purchased some last night for a game called Zombie Lane on Google+ last night and due to an in game error this virtual cash disappeared.

Unfortunately for me I did not read the forum posts regarding this known error. I usually do but didn’t this time. And now I’ve got to wait until Monday to get a response.

Argh!
