A group of law professors has filed a brief with the Supreme Court, arguing that it's patently ridiculous for copyright notices on compact discs--which P2P users never see--to count as "knowledge" of infringement.

Looking to spoil yourself with a fancy new
3DTV? Ain't got the cash to go
all-out? Hello, compromise. Samsung's 50-inch
PN50C490 -- which we
peeked just a few weeks ago -- is now shipping from Amazon, Best Buy and a slew of other local consumer electronic marts if we had to guess. As a refresher, this mid-sized HDTV has a 720p resolution, 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, no internet connectivity to speak of, a USB socket, three HDMI inputs, a pair of component jacks and support for the third dimension. It's up for grabs today at just $989, but you'll probably want to budget a few extra hundies for that
Samsung 3D Starter Kit (not to mention a few 3D Blu-ray Discs).
[Thanks, James]

We've already lost count of all the internet TV platforms that launched this fall, but that hasn't stopped
DivX (even after the company was
recently purchased) from throwing its hat into the ring by
officially launching as a streaming internet video front end on several LG Blu-ray players. Available in the latest BD.8.31.317.C firmware update for the
BD550/BD570/BD590 line, DivX TV lets users browse internet shows (including The Engadget Show, Revision3 and others -- full list and a quick introduction video follow after the break) and create customized channels of the content they want to watch. We'll wait and see if DivX TV pops up on any other hardware, but at least LG owners
can check off yet another source of videos after Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, YouTube and of course, Blu-ray discs.
[Thanks, Nigel]
