Find Out if You’re a Target in the Biggest U.S. BitTorrent Lawsuit Ever
"More than 23,000 people will soon be notified by their internet service providers
that their subscriber information is being turned over to lawyers suing over the 2010 Sylvester Stallone flick The Expendables. As we first reported Monday, the case is the largest BitTorrent file-sharing lawsuit in U.S. history. We just updated our IP Detective tool with the 23,322 IP addresses targeted between Feb. 5 and April 22 in the mass lawsuit filed by the Washington-based U.S. Copyright Group on behalf of Nu Image."

Oh. I thought he meant a website or something because he's said "who's" which made we wary of looking since there have been places that have caused problems (IP or legal) in the last few months.

What do you think about gold and silver coins being proposed as SC tender? http://www.midlandsconnect.com/news/...aspx?id=616413 Utah House Passes Bill Recognizing Gold, Silver as Legal Tender http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...-legal-tender/ Methinks that a lot of this is due to the dollar's decline. Perhaps the market reaction to the volatility in the dollar is what is driving states to take precautions. Dollar in graver danger than the euro http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/451b5a2e-7...#axzz1M7ejwHEc

I think I won't put my money with the banks that hoard gold. Though if all the banks are doing that, I worry for the world economy. China's inflation isn't slowing down, commodity prices are soaring and practically everyone is in panic mode.

I'm saying that countries are moving towards gold as a reserve currency out of fear. Whether that fear is justified or just hyped by gold investors remains to be seen. Unfortunately, the fear is very real and even the US GAO (Government Accounting Office) is suggesting going back to physical copper, silver, and gold pieces (which I do not support) rather than just a dollar backed by precious metals (I do support that). http://consumerist.com/2011/03/gao-t...ith-coins.html I agree with you that China's inflation is troublesome. They have also been making a move towards increasing their gold and silver reserves for a little over a year now. China's Switch from Dollar Reserves to Gold http://www.energyandcapital.com/arti...-reserves/1164 Makes me wonder how long this will last?
