A French software company believes that Sony BMG may be pirating up to 47% of its software!

PointDev, a French software company that makes Windows administration tools, received a call from a Sony BMG IT employee for support. After Sony BMG supplied a pirated license code for Ideal Migration, one of PointDev’s products, the software maker was able to mandate a seizure of Sony BMG’s assets. The subsequent raid revealed that software was illegally installed on four of Sony BMG’s servers. The Business Software Alliance, however, believes that up to 47 percent of the software installed on Sony BMG’s computers could be pirated.

These are some pretty serious—not to mention ironic—allegations against a company that’s gone so far as to install malware on consumers’ computers in the name of preventing piracy.

Regular readers of this site know that I only post werewolf news when it’s good news. So now, for the first time, I have werewolf news.

Every modern werewolf movie seems intent on making a guy change into something that looks basically like a big wolf. That’s not cool! A GUY who looks like a WOLF is cool.

Here is an Entertainment Weekly interview with Rick Baker about the process of turning Benny into the wolf. I would’ve added a “So … you got it right this time, huh?” to the list of questions.

This mashup was a regular on You Are So Beautiful, Beautiful Robot back in the day – it’s a seamless combination of some of the greatest pop songs ever - but I just this evening discovered that there was a video for it too.
