[img]http://moviesblog.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/movies/2013/06/Michael-Fassbender-Counselor.jpg[/img] [i]By Amelia Mularz [/i] So Kim Kardashian got engaged this week, which ignited an epidemic of déjà vu across the globe. Our DVD pick (a throwback to 1989) will also take you back. But first, here's what's brand spanking new at the theater: [b]On the Big Screen: "The Counselor"[/b] Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, and Cameron Diaz star in a film that opens today. The movie is a prequel to "Weekend at Bernie's." Can't wait! Ok...fine. That's not true at all. But with such an all-star cast, does it even matter what the movie's about? In reality, Michael Fassbender plays a corrupt lawyer (aka "the counselor") who signs on for a lil' freelance drug trafficking with Javier Bardem's character, Reiner. And by "lil'" we mean moving a truckload of cocaine from Colombia to Chicago. As you can imagine, international drug trafficking schemes amongst friends never end well. Someone always gets his feelings hurt. Violence, cheetahs, and Javier Bardem in Versace shirts ensue. [b]On the Boob Tube: "The Husband She Met Online"[/b] These days the only thing that's more dangerous than doing business with a drug cartel is doing online dating. This weekend at 8/7c, Lifetime dishes us their latest Original Movie and it's a doozy. The so-called perfect guy turns out to be a sociopathic stalker. Hate it when that happens. [b]From Your DVD Collection: "Teen Witch"[/b] Between the "Carrie" remake and "American Horror Story: Coven," witches are having a moment. But let us not forget the original teen witch, Louise, who was played by Robyn Lively (Blake's big sis). One of the coolest scenes from the movie was when Louise used her powers to help her friend Polly get some street cred. Of course the only way to get street cred in the 80s was to challenge someone to a rap battle, and thus "Top That" was born. Earlier this week, a present day Polly (or Mandy Ingber, as she's actually named), reenacted the scene.

In case you&rsquo;ve been lost at sea and starved of Instagram, Twitter and potable drinking water for the last six months, the Arcade Fire have a new album out Tuesday called "Reflektor."

By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Big Sean popped the question to Naya Rivera and fans want to know when's the big wedding date. Sean was posed this question on Skee TV recently. "Aw thank you," Sean smiled, after being congratulated on being engaged. "The wedding is.....cmon." The rapper paused, clearly not giving us any details. "Thanks for the good wishes," he added. They may not have a (public) wedding date but Naya reveals that she's planning a lovey dovey couple costume for Halloween. She tells RapUpTV that they may dress up Egyptian style. “If we do go, Sean and I kinda wanted to be Cleopatra and Pharaoh, but I don’t know if he’s gonna wanna go shirtless and wear a skirt,” she said. Naya has a more covered-up back-up plan. “Maybe we’ll just be ketchup and mustard,” she said. Sean and his Glee boo got engaged earlier this month. The 26-year-old actress and 25-year-old rapper have been dating since earlier this year and even collaborated on Naya's debut single "Sorry." Throughout their courtship, the two have heated up parties and red carpet events on both coasts. Over the summer, the pair sizzled at the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards at Bell Media Headquarters in Toronto, Canada. "I <3 BS" Naya tweeted then. Before that, the lovebirds were seen joking around in Hawaii, enjoying the beach and a luau.

By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Kendrick Lamar name-checked veteran basketball coach Phil Jackson in his "Control" verse (If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me) and when Jackson shouted him back on Twitter, it seemed like a new rap/sports bromance was budding. Sadly, not so much. Phil shares with Campus Insider that he hit up Kendrick only because Twitter told him so. "That's the wonderful world of Twitter...You can communicate with people out of your range of influence and your social grouping," said Phil in the interview, shared by Complex. He adds that because "the connection between basketball and rap is so deep," "Control" was on the minds of his followers and that's how he came to learn about the song. Phil says his Twitter fans flooded his mentions and urged him to respond to K Dot's lines. So he did with the tweet, "it’s okay to be cocky and sure, but we all need somebody to lean on. Let’s just call it mentoring." Wonder how Kendrick will respond to this news? Maybe he'll take Phil up on his offer as a mentor.

[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/running.jpg[/img]In recent years hundreds of thousands of Internet subscribers have been sued for downloading copyrighted material in the United States, but not a single case has gone to trial. Most of the defendants are sued in bulk, with copyright holders joining hundreds or thousands of alleged copyright-infringing IP-addresses in a single complaint. The rightsholders then ask the court to grant a subpoena to identify the account holders behind the IPs, who are then approached with settlement requests of a few thousand dollars. After an initial avalanche of mass piracy lawsuits in 2010 and 2011, federal courts in several districts ruled that these cases should be restricted to one defendant each. Last year several ISPs asked for a similar ruling in the District of Columbia, but without success. Judge Beryl Howell ruled against the Internet providers and granted the adult movie company AF Holdings the right to obtain the personal details of more than 1000 Internet users suspected of downloading their works using BitTorrent. The adult film studio and its controversial law firm Prenda celebrated the verdict as a huge win, since many other judges had previously rejected joining so many defendants in one lawsuit. Adding to the controversy, Judge Howell told the ISPs who joined the case that they were [url="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120823/10444420138/riaa-lobbyist-turned-judge-isps-deserve-copyright-trolls-not-stopping-infringement.shtml"]not doing enough[/url] to stop online piracy. The ISPs were disappointed with the ruling and Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner and Cox filed an appeal hoping to reverse it. The case has been lingering for a few months but yesterday the ISPs [url="http://www.scribd.com/doc/178928593/appeal-isps-torrentfreak-pdf"]filed their latest brief[/url]. The providers argue that the request for customer information is not supported by good cause, as previous cases have shown that AF Holdings has no intention of actually serving the defendants. “In 118 multi-Doe actions filed by Plaintiff’s counsel during a two-year period, none has resulted in a defendant being named and served,” they write. In addition, the ISPs note that the adult studio is only attempting to generate as many settlements as it can, at the lowest cost without knowing whether the defendant is actually the person who downloaded the copyrighted work. “Plaintiff’s primary purpose in seeking the personal information for hundreds or thousands of Internet subscribers per lawsuit is to extract payments without conducting any investigation into whether the subscriber — rather than another person using the subscriber’s Internet connection — is indeed responsible for accessing Plaintiff’s film without paying for it.” The ISPs continue by citing several similar cases in which judges ruled that joining so many defendants in one case is not allowed. If the current verdict is upheld, they fear that the District of Columbia will become a “unique venue” for copyright holders to “gain the Doe defendants’ personal information and coerce payment from them” Finally, the ISPs mention the controversial nature of the law firm Prenda, who were recently punished in court for their mob-like tactics. Among other things they note that Prenda’s principals [url="http://torrentfreak.com/copyright-troll-ran-pirate-bay-honeypot-comcast-confirms-130815/"]used The Pirate Bay as a honeypot[/url], relied on fictitious persons as clients, and submitted fake documents in support of their lawsuits. “In the wake of these revelations, virtually all of Prenda Law’s multi-Doe cases have been dismissed or transformed into investigations into misconduct by AF Holdings’ principals and counsel. Yet, incredibly, Plaintiff derides the ISPs for objecting ‘with an air of moral superiority’ to Plaintiff’s ongoing efforts to extract personal subscriber information from them,” the brief notes. The ISPs tell the court that this “lack of candor” should be addressed, and they ask the judge to throw out the case, or reduce the number of defendants from 1,058 to just one. It’s good to see that Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner and Cox are attempting to protect their subscribers. Of course it’s in their own interests, but it also helps to minimize the profitability of these classic copyright troll lawsuits.
