"They could have used some other way to inform people than scaring the bejiminy out of them." The New York Times reports on responses in America to the subpoenas issued against file sharers. Some, like the one from the lady above, are quite amusing. But if you don't see the funny side and have been sweating all week over whether you're next to be fingered by the big nasty corporations, fret no longer. The BBC tells us that the Electronic Frontier Foundation has set up a database allowing you to check if you're being targeted. All this mostly affects Americans at the moment, but the BPI have promised they'll follow suit if the RIAA's action is successful. Still, it could be worse. You could be the now notorious Star Wars Kid, whose swashbuckling antics have been raising titters around the web for some time now. But you can only push these things so far before someone gets hurt: the Kid is suing four of his classmates who he claims circulated the original video, which was originally part of a school project. Have fun out there on the web while it lasts, kids.
