Serial eBay fraudster jailed for two years

A low-rent recidivist con man who targeted eBay customers was jailed for two years on Tuesday. Phillip Shortman, 20, from Cwmbran near Newport in south Wales, was sent to a young offenders' institution following a conviction for ripping off consumers to the tune of £14,000 and breaching the terms of his probation. Shortman was given an eight-month suspended sentence in January after he was convicted of buying thousands of pounds in stolen fuel cards. He was also found guilty of another £45,000 eBay fraud in 2005, an offence that earned him a year in a detention centre.

This time around the married father-of-two ran bogus auctions for items including 2006 Ryder Cup tickets, a Sony camcorder, and hi-tech mobile phones. He also obtained goods including a £250 laptop and computer parts without payment. Shortman responded to requests for payment for the laptop by sending abusive emails to the seller.

ACTRA Member Dismayed Over ACTRA Stance on Copyright Reform

There is no shortage of coverage on Canada's new copyright reform. While ACTRA called Canada's DMCA a 'good first step', a member seems to be dismayed by the stance, let alone the copyright reform bill. When Copyright reform hit Canada and it was discovered to be serving only a few multinational interests, CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association), an organization long seen as merely an arm of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) in Canada after major Canadian record labels left them over CRIA's views on the previous copyright reform legislation was quick to applaud the latest copyright reform by the current Conservative government. One of the groups that CRIA showed off was a group known as ACTRA (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) who, in a press release, said that C-61 was 'a good first step'. It's an interesting stance considering back in January were reports about strikes over being paid - namely in new media or online revenues.

Griffin Simplifi iPod Dock

Griffin Simplifi iPod Dock

Griffin is back with yet another iPod dock known as Simplifi. It retails for $70 and does more than what a regular iPod dock has to offer, that's because it features a memory card reader as well as a USB hub. Good thing it has an AC adapter bundled just in case you decide to charge your iPod sans computer or plug in some other USB devices. Some people might find the blue LED in front to be rather distracting especially at night when one is trying to get some sleep, only to be bathed in a soft, blue glow.
