It appears MegaUpload’s users aren’t ready to just back down to the feds with new reports claiming international pirate organizations are planning on suing the FBI on behalf of users over files that have been lost due to the shutdown.

If you’ve been following along with the MegaUpload case, you’d know that many of the company’s execs are now awaiting trial on charges of piracy, racketeering, and money laundering following the feds shutting down the massively popular file-sharing site Keep Reading

Whether individuals are being targeted for their high-end Apple goods, or criminals are smashing through the iconic glass panes of an Apple retail store, the luxury status and resale value of these devices not surprisingly makes them more desirable to thieves.

However, this is the first time we’ve heard of a victim suing Apple and being reimbursed for their stolen MacBook and iPod. Keep Reading

It was around a year ago when Beyonce dropped out of development on Gate Five’s Starpower: Beyonce, a game which would enable players to sing along to their favorite songs (doesn’t that already exist?)

According to Game Informer, when she bailed, Gate Five sued for $100 million and stated that Beyonce’s abandonment forced them to lay off several employees and ultimately cancel the entire project.

According to Gate Five, Beyonce basically wanted to re-negotiate the contract Keep Reading

According to (occasionally) reliable sources, Lil Wayne is facing a huge suit from Georgia-based label Done Deal Enterprises. DDE’s main beef? Wayne owes them a huge portion of his profits from the song “Bedrock” (which became another chart-topping song for him in 2008), largely because the New Orleans  rapper stole it and made it his own – same name and everything – where it eventually landed on the compilation We Are Young Money. Where exactly this all lands – especially since it ain’t just Wayne being sued, it’s Cash Money and Young Money Entertainment also – we’ll see. But with a movie coming up and lots more under wraps, he should be fine.
