Business Software Alliance has launched an anti-piracy campaigns which is targeted towards the Asia-Pacific region. According to the source BSA is sniffing for websites and users of P2P file sharing software in the region, in order to find illegally distributed software. The source reports that BSA is using a web crawling software for the campaign.

So far, software-swapping Web sites have been found in Singapore, Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Japan and China, he said.

Many of these Web sites discovered by the crawler have been shut down by the Internet service providers (ISPs) still hosting them after being served with a legal letter called a "notice of take-down" by the BSA.News.com

Download and RUN Earth Station 5. It has Encrypted file sharing capabilities and can use SSL Proxy technology. This prevents anyone from snagging your IP. Go to www.zeropaid.com to DL this. I did and lots of content. The Leaders will soon use this instead of IRC. Yes it is a little cheesey with the sci-fi theme, but the app works and attracts even the average user. Colledge students will be glad to know that the UDP protocol is untracable PROVIDED YOU SET IT UP RIGHT AND TAKE THE TIME TO GET THE PROXY SERVERS WITH SSL and make sure you only share files using the SSL proxy servers. Freedom for the Filesharing community has commath and guess what the BSA is screwed. No need for crawlers here. Voodoohippi (Defender of FREE cyberspace)

	Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum In our review, we go through the pros and cons of the obstacle-avoiding, mopping Roomba 505 Combo+ robot vacuum. During a long test period, the robot's cleaning performance was pleasing, but it was far from perfect.
	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
