Death Probe |
FMQB reports: Sacramento County Sheriff John
McGinness has assigned two homicide detectives to investigate the apparent
water-intoxication death of Jennifer Lea Strange, the woman who died after
drinking almost two gallons of water for the Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest
at KDND/Sacramento. Sheriff's officials declined to probe the death for
several days, but McGinness told the Sacramento Bee that he was motivated
to call for a full investigation after reading excerpts of the on-air water-drinking
contest.[see full story for more]- Click

Law Used Against DJs |
MTV reports: In a major development in the
Recording Industry Association of America's quest to stop what they believe
to be the bootlegging of music, the Atlanta office of mixtape king DJ Drama's
Aphilliate Music Group was raided Tuesday by police.
Drama (real name Tyree Simmons) and Aphilliate
partner Donald "Don" Cannon were taken into custody along with 17 other
individuals Tuesday.
At press time, the pair, who were arrested
on felony charges stemming from a magistrate's warrant under the Racketeering
Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, were in Fulton County Superior Court
for a bail hearing, which will determine their bond. More than 50,000 mixtapes
were seized in the raid
. The investigation began after a city police officer
saw "illegal material" being sold in a record store in Morrow in violation
of Georgia state law. [This is just highlights from two stories by MTV,

original. Now that the RIAA is using RICO (the Mafia law) it would be interesting
to see an ambitious prosecutor turn it around and use it on them]

Spyware |
tinfoilmusic.net reports: MySpace intends
to give parents a tool with which they can monitor their childrens activity
on the puke-stain of HTML that is called MySpace. The software reports
back to the parents things such as the age, location and other identifiable
information that child lists in their MySpace account. It also allows the
parent to view the child's inbox. The children need not worry, however,
as the software does not, however, translate emo-speak into something remotely
understandable by parents.[see full story for more... what Tom is a spy?
