Microsoft Sues Samsung In U.S. Over Patent Royalties
Uh oh, it looks like a lovers' quarrel is brewing between Microsoft and Samsung.
Microsoft Corp sued Samsung Electronics Co Ltd on Friday, claiming the South Korean smartphone maker refused to make a royalty payment last fall on patent licenses after Microsoft announced its intention to acquire Nokia's handset business. Samsung made its royalty payments to Microsoft during the first fiscal year after they signed their 2011 agreement, the lawsuit said. However after Microsoft announced the Nokia deal last year, Samsung initially refused to make another payment, the lawsuit said.

Can We Publicly Confess to Online Piracy Crimes?
So, the question here is why is it okay for this guy to pirate stuff but it's not okay for everyone else?
Last week The Expendables 3 leaked online and thousands shared it illegally. While most sat in the shadows, David Pierce, an editor at The Verge, admitted to engaging in what amounts to the criminal distribution of an unreleased copyright work.

Hotel Fines $500 For Every Bad Review Posted Online
This crap has to stop. The good news is that the courts have ruled against every business that has tried to enforce policies like this. Maybe they know it is unenforceable but use it as a scare tactic?
"Please know that despite the fact that wedding couples love Hudson and our inn, your friends and families may not," reads an online policy. "If you have booked the inn for a wedding or other type of event . . . and given us a deposit of any kind . . . there will be a $500 fine that will be deducted from your deposit for every negative review . . . placed on any internet site by anyone in your party."
