NSFW Sankaku - Cops Raid Suicide School, Bullies “Played Funeral” with Boy
It would be great if the police operation is called "Operation Tomb Raider" : it is about time the civil servants' heads start to roll.

American states and municipalities launch suits against big banks over LIBOR
Municipalities, in particular, were encouraged to use interest rate "swaps" tied to LIBOR when borrowing. While the experts cited indicate that proving damages may be difficult, one Stanford finance professor expects to see the banks pay out tens of billions of dollars. Other observers, including a recent report from Nomura Equity Research, concur. It might have been hard to assess responsibility for the 2007-2008 meltdown (though see Charles Ferguson's Inside Job for a different view), but here we have good evidence that the LIBOR committee members often engaged in fraudulent and collusive activities.

A crapton of circumstancial evidence points to this being a man-slaugther during the bullying process instead of a suicide. It doesn't help the fact some of the bullies have politically powerful family members. This case goes far beyond a simple bully and suicide, with massive amount of potential corruption in every corner of the city ordinance. A typical case of country-side town hush hush.

Online music stores will not have to pay royalties on song previews to publishers and songwriters, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday as part of a series of decisions on copyright.
Well that's some detailed distinctions in copyright & distribution that I did not know. Like distinction between public transmission (radio) and personal transmission (download). While I do know the distinction, I didn't know the supreme court knew. They can only fit so much detail of everything in the world in that brain of theirs. Quote:

Have you not seen them? If you haven't, I recommend them highly. Vertigo franchise would be perfect with the mood setting of film like the Unbreakable.
