    Thought the membership might find this of interest.
    
    April 19 - It sounds like a script once rejected by Hollywood. The plot
    revolves around two of the world's biggest multinational corporations,
    locked in an all-out war over the future of pay-TV, and its promised
    billions. The competition is so ruthless that eventually, someone cheats.
    One company hires hackers to break the other's secret codes, then publishes
    the secret on the Internet, inviting piracy. Suddenly, the victim company's
    pay-TV is free, and its only asset is worthless. Too ruthless to be true?
    Not according to a lawsuit filed in California last month.
