Porn copyright firm threatens to tell your neighbours

Tim Worstall — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:31:29 +0000

THERE’S a lovely little scam operating over in the US at the moment. Somewhere between ort of legal and foul and disgusting but sorta legal.

What they do is look around for someone using Bit Torrent or similar services to download movies n’stuff. Then they check whether they’ve downloaded various porn films. If they have downloaded one that the law firm owns the copyright to (and they’ve gone out and bought many copyrights, which are pretty cheap these days for porn films) then they sue them for copyright infringement.

This is all quite legal of course. If you own the copyright to something then you can sue people who steal your property.

Where it all becomes dodgy is that they offer to settle the case for a few thousand dollars. Which is only just a little less than it would cost to fighjt the case if you were inncocent of doing the downloading. And, here’s the crucuial point: in the US you have to pay your own legal bills whether you win or lose. So, the real offer here is lose $5,000 by fighting the case and winning or $4,000 by just coughing up.

A great little scam it is ...

Get Lost In This Dreamy Spread Full Of Fabulous Vintage Frocks

Refinery29 — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:30:00 +0000

We consider ourselves connoisseurs of eye candy, so when we happen to stumble across an editorial that's not only dreamy and beautiful, but also chock-full of local goodness, we kind of lose our minds for a second. That's definitely what happened when we discovered this spread from Bisous Magazine, which showcases some gorgeous vintage frocks from Old Town Alexandria boutique Pretty People — along with some of the most inspirational updos we've seen in a while. We will definitely be experimenting with a braid crown and a pretty gold headpiece sometime soon — we simply can't resist a look this lovely and ethereal. Click through, and then tell us: Can you blame us for pinning this entire spread?

OCC Launches Gloss Stain, Has Drag Queen Models, Is Officially The Coolest

Refinery29 — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:20:00 +0000

It's recently come to our attention that we kind of adore Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. What's not to love? Their products aren't just completely vegan, they're amazingly high quality, and the heavily-pigmented colors are consistently efficacious and all-around delightful. Plus, the company's heart is in the right place: When they launched a special Lip Tar shade specifically to benefit the gender confirming/affirming surgeries of January Hunt, one of their employees, we couldn't remember ever feeling so moved and impressed by the motivations behind a product.

So, obviously, we jumped at the chance to attend the launch of Lip Tar Stained Gloss, which debuts today. That's right people, there's a whole new Lip Tar in town. As much as we love our matte lip tars, a little bit of glossy "transparent, yet concentrated color" sounds like what's missing from our lives — or at least our pouts.

Mostly, though, we were excited for the announcement of the brand's very first faces: None other than celebrity drag queens Willam, Vicky Vox, and Detox of RuPaul's Drag Race. We love a good gender-bending situation, and who better to represent the new stained gloss than three legendarily glamorous, professional queens?

To celebrate the new faces, ...

There’s no longer a need for Canadians to line up at the border for hours just so we can take advantage of the many great American outlet malls. This summer, Southern Ontario will have an outlet mall of its own, full of top tier brands and retailers: Toronto Premium Outlets—owned by Simon’s Premium Outlets, the company behind discount shopping destinations in Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Orlando—is set to open just outside of Toronto.

Anchored by a Hudson’s Bay outlet, Toronto Premium Outlets will include everything from fashion brands, like Michael Kors, to home furnishing stores, like Restoration Hardware. And we haven’t even gotten to the best part! The centre will have the first outlet stores in Canada for some cult favourites and top tier designer brands. We’re talking Kate Spade New York, J. Crew, DKNY, Ted Baker London, Polo Ralph Lauren, Cole Haan and Columbia Sportswear, just to name a few. The countdown is on until us shopaholics no longer have to worry about agonizing exchange rates or how much we can take across the border.

Ready to shop? The Toronto Premium Outlets will be conveniently located in Halton Hills (near Pearson International Airport) and ...
