NASA sued by fringe scientist for failing to investigate a rock for signs of alien life
2014-01-29 19:00:13| Extremetech
A particularly litigious American, Rhawn Joseph, is suing NASA for failing to investigate an object, discovered by the Opportunity rover on Mars, that he claims is evidence of alien life. NASA, who has looked at the object with Opportunity's microscope, says the object is -- drum roll please -- a rock. Joseph's lawsuit claims that the object is a living thing that "germinated from spores," and thus NASA should be compelled to take hundreds of photos from multiple angles, and then send the original photos to Joseph for investigation. Who will blink first? (Hint: Probably not NASA.)
Drax coal case shows police cannot be trusted investigate themselves

Guardian: It was an interesting day in the Court of Appeal last week. Twenty-nine of us had our convictions for obstructing a train carrying 42,000 tonnes of coal to Drax power station overturned after the judge ruled that crucial evidence about the role of undercover police officer Mark Kennedy had been withheld. This latest chapter in the undercover policing revelations shows that issues of transparency, accountability and fairness remain absent from the UK's secret police force currently operating...

EU to investigate national pay-TV film deals
2014-01-13 16:30:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has started a competition investigation into national film rights granted by US studios to EU pay-TV broadcasters. The rights are normally agreed for broadcast only in one country, preventing the pay-TV providers from offering the films or TV series to customers in other EU states. The EC said that this "absolute territorial protection" may constitute an infringement of EU antitrust rules that prohibit anti-competitive agreements. The decision to investigate follows a landmark ruling in 2011 by the EU Court of Justice over the right of a subscriber to BSkyB services in the UK to show Premier League football matches at her pub in Greece. The court found that there was no justification for the Premier League to limit broadcast rights to national boundaries, when the cost of the rights could just as easily be based on the full or potential audience of a satellite or online TV provider across EU states. The EU investigation will focus on major US film studios, including Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, NBCUniversal and Paramount Pictures, and the largest European pay-TV broadcasters, such as BSkyB of the UK, Canal Plus of France, Sky Italia of Italy, Sky Deutschland of Germany and DTS of Spain.
