Open letter to Miramax: leave KFC Cinema
alone 01/07/2004 06:11 PM
An anonymous BoingBoing reader writes:

Miramax has apparently jumped on the "let's be evil" bandwagon. Kung Fu Cult Cinema is a site for fans of Asian Cinema, including reviews, message boards, etc. As part of the site, there are links to websites outside of the U.S. that sell Asian films legally. Miramax has apparently sent the site a bogus "cease and desist" order, claiming that KFC Cinema cannot even *link* to said overseas sites without violating the copyright they have on certain asian films (Hero, Shaolin Soccer, etc.). The link above is to an open response to Miramax's letter.

to local hackers 12/19/2004 03:00 PM
DrunkenBlog has an intriguing post about a local remote root exploit found for Adobe's Version Cue which ships with Adobe's Creative Suite of software. Version Cue is designed to help creative professionals find, share and track multiple versions of files and jobs in progress in a collaborative environment. The problem is, the system is insecure and "could permit a local malicious user to obtain root privileges on the target system". Beware the freelancer!! See: Bugtraq US-CERT
