Posted in filesharing on October 29th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

p2pnet news view P2P | Politics:- French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who’s spearheading the French version of the corporate entertainment industry Three Strikes attack on consumers, spent £250,000 (about $396,841) of French EU budget on shower he didn’t use, says the Guardian .

Bloggers Must Disclose Payments for Reviews New York Times The Federal Trade Commission will require bloggers to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. It is the first time since 1980 that the commission has revised its guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and the first time the rules have covered bloggers.

p2pnet news view | P2P |  Politics:- ‘Politician’ is  virtually synonymous with the word ‘liar’. And it’s a given that significant numbers of the people we elect to represent us end up instead dancing to the tunes of large, multinational conglomerates with bottomless pockets and frightening political influence, and which answer only to their shareholders.
