Indians streaming content illegally :giggle: Aereo, which streams free(only over the air is legally free, not by cable or satellite) broadcast signals over the internet has shutdown Aereo Just Disappeared for Good

The US Supreme Court ruled that Aereo, which streamed broadcast television to subscribers for about $8/month, was operating illegally because it didn’t pay so-called retransmission fees to broadcasters–something cable and satellite companies are required by law to do. Those fees, however, are incredibly expensive. Cable companies can afford to pay them because they’re charging viewers plenty for their service–the average cable bill is now over $64 a month, per the Federal Communications Commission. The most obvious survival path for Aereo would be to pass those fees onto its customers by increasing its subscription rates. But here’s the thing: The broadcast content that Aereo provides is free to anyone who wants to set up their own (cheap!) antenna on their TV or home.
Racket airing Indian TV channels abroad busted Satellite TV racket busted in Hyderabad
Hyderabad police busted a satellite TV piracy racket and produced the four-member gang before the media on Sunday. According to police commissioner M Mahender Reddy, the modus operandi of the gang was that they would subscribe to various DTH satellite TV connections and by using electronic equipment purchased from China, they convert the satellite TV signal into encrypted streaming content for broadcasting on US-based company Jadoo TV web portal Jadoo TV is a US-based company run by Faisal Aftab and Sajid Sohail from USA. Jadoo TV owners supply set-top boxes to customers including NRIs settled in various countries of North America, Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific region to decrypt the 115 Indian TV channels for 300 US dollars a piece. They have even received good response from NRIs across the globe. Most of the channels broadcasted by the accused are paid channels like MAA TV and Zee TV and these channels have incurred huge losses as neither Ahuja nor the owners of Jadoo TV paid any subscription fee, Mahender Reddy said

That site has been on life support for a very long time. It's time for Google to just let go. And they need to stop shoving G+ down everyone's throat.
Yeah - its very irritating. A few weeks ago G+ head Vic Gundotra left Google - people said that G+ might move down Google's list of priorities but that doesn't seem to be happening. In fact Google is saying that one of the reasons for closing down Orkut is to focus more on G+
