...failing to act on his pledge as of late last week, however, Fujimori raised doubts about his resolve on that or other undertakings. With Montesinos holed up in his apartment at the top of SIN's downtown headquarters, guarded by 800 of his agents, the President made no moves against him.

Forrester Research last week unveiled a study predicting that within five years the music industry will lose $ 3.1 billion to piracy and the newfound independence of musicians. The music labels tried for a while to convince themselves that online piracy was a young person's sport, something that would be outgrown, like binge drinking...
