Is not a new thing about filing lawsuits against illegal downloaders and even Hollywood film studios and record labels has done so. Now is the turn of porn producers. A few weeks ago producers banded together to file lawsuits of their own. The producers are also targeting YouTube like streaming video sites.
Now whether or not the lawsuits filed by movie studios and record labels have proven effective against a small number of users as a deterrent to piracy. The reason for embarrassment is exposing of sexual fantasies to friends, family and colleagues might make the method more effective for owners of adult content.
Why the producers has targeted the users is that as when they download, they enter the titles that prominently feature transsexuals and “barely legal” 18-year old girls. More ever, the lawsuits are on public record, the defendants’ porn-viewing habits would be exposed.
According to Pink Visual President Allison Vivas told the AFP, “When it comes to private sexual fantasies and fetishes, going public is probably not worth the risk that these torrent and peer-to-peer users are taking.”

A fortnight ago, there was first iPhone malicious worm discovered in Australia, and was harmless – did nothing except major. It just changed the background picture on the iPhone. Then came a new malware attack just a few days later, and today the third iPhone worm is discovered and it can steal your information.
The new worm only affects jailbroken iPhones which the SSH password hasn’t been changed and this worm appears to be isolated in the Netherlands. This worm appears to be far more serious than the first iPhone worm, since it can access and control the iPhone remotely without the permission of its owner. More specifically are those who uses the iPhone for internet banking with Dutch online bank ING at risk, since the worm redirects the bank’s customers to a site that looks like the original log-in screen, but it is fake and the information you give will be stored in a server in Lithuania.
According to The Loop, Apple has issued a brief statement regarding the latest malware attack:
“The worm affects only a very specific set of iPhone users who have jail broken their iPhones and hacked it with unauthorized software,” Apple spokesperson, Natalie Harrison, told The Loop. “As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones, and for good reason. These hacks not only violate the warranty, they will also cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.”
We at AppleLunch recommends that you stay away from jailbreaks, since it can do more harm than good. The latest worm attacks proves our allegation right.
