Buyer Beware: Misleading HDMI Cable Labels
Disclaimer: There is not a single one of you out there that doesn't know about the HDMI cable hustle.

This Wednesday a security blog reported that several rogue sites are in operation which aim to pull in people who were aiming to reach The Pirate Bay, but accidentally entered the URL with typos. While this kind of activity is nothing new, there is a more interesting detail being overlooked. One of the companies behind the scheme is trying to register the Pirate Bay trademark in the United States. Comments
