Quote from this article: "MPAA and its international counterpart, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), claim that the U.S. film industry loses in excess of $3 billion annually in potential worldwide revenues due to piracy."
This assumes that people would pay to view the movies that are illegally copied. I wish people would stop this piracy business, so the MPAA/MPA couldn't blame their revenue "loss" on anything except the fact that what is produced is 99% garbage.

The cats that I know and own:
Bruce who is much older, cleaner and better fed than in in these pictures seems to have a weakness for pens that are being used to write with. He is a silly cat. He is but one of the 6 strays that we have taken in over the years. We have kept 4 of them and found homes for the other two. Bruce has allergies & is feeling moody from the shot that the vet gave him :(.
Hollywood (large original cat-who was purchased from a store) has anxiety problems and at one point had licked two large bald spots upon his person (Lives with Tony).
Cricket (medium sized cat-who was purchased from a store) is a laid back cat who doesn't really have many emotional problems (except a string & catnip fixation). (lives with me)
Perl (small female cat) is the first of the strays to appear. She is (In my opinion) insane [I'm not just saying that, she is wack, crazy even]. Cricket hates her & the feeling is mutual (Cricket lives with me, Perl lives with Tony).
Max (very obese, but medium sized cat) is one of the three kittens found around the same time Perl was found. He was kept by me (as a companion for Cricket) and we found homes for his two sisters. Max has a food fixation from his time on the streets as a stray kitten. He is a quiet cat and doesn't say much, he can be pushy (literally) when he wants attention.
Bruce (he is a small cat, but developing the pear shape that all of our well fed cats has) has already been introduced above and lives with me.
Finally Ben a.k.a. Napoleon is an adult male cat who has shown up in the past few weeks. He was an indoor/outdoor cat who was left out on a cold day. We put up signs, found his owners who decided to give him to Tony.
We have a cat problem.

India Call Center Staff Bribed to Release Confidential Account information
He said: 'We're seeing a significant increase in security problems associated with this type of outsourcing. Given that the majority of hacking originates from within organisations, outsourcing administrative responsibilities to an engineer making around £4,000 annually is asking for problems.
'The engineers employed by these firms are extremely skilled technicians and since they already possess the passwords and unrestricted access to the networks they service, they have quickly become targets for organised crime and private investigative firms looking to buy their way into a network.'
