		<description><![CDATA[	Techdirt has a nice posting about the liability of wireless access point owners for illegal or infringing conduct carried out by other people accessing the Internet through their access point.  Seems that some individuals may be purposely leaving their access point open (in other words, leaving encryption turned off) so that they could (1) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	One of Linksys&#8217; most successful products has been WRT54G/GS/GL.  Some would say this is because the router (well, at least the original versions and the current GL version) software was based on open source and a large community of third party developers has been developing new applications for the box.  Two popular sources [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	A US court has issued a preliminary injunction against Google in respect of its creation and display of thumbnails in its image search service.  The court found that such action likely breaches the copyright in the original full-sized images and would not likely fall within any fair use exception.  The plaintiff is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Walt Disney, Time Warner and three other major film makers are suing Samsung Electronics over a DVD player (DVD-HD841) that was discontinued over a year ago.  Apparently the DVD&#8217;s copy protection mechanism (region encoding and HDCP bypassing) could be circumvented by hackers by entering certain codes using a remote control.
