Barence writes "A PC Pro reader has received a demand for a £600 out-of-court settlement from lawyers claiming to have forensic evidence that he illegally downloaded a PC game on BitTorrent. The law firm, Davenport Lyons, is acting on the behalf of German games distributor Zuxxez, creator of the game in question, Two Worlds. The PC Pro reader was given no prior warning to stop file sharing, unlike the usual 'three strikes and you're out' approach adopted by the music industry. The reader says, 'To add insult to injury it [Davenport Lyons] didn't pay enough postage on the letter and I had to collect it from the sorting office at a cost of £1.30. This also used up most of the two weeks that it allowed for a response.'"

Now, British band Coldplay is going a somewhat similar route, making the first single from their new album available as a free download for one week at the band’s website starting tomorrow – a week ahead of its general digital release.

The number of in-game ads has greatly increased over the last few years. Sometimes it’s subtle, like a character’s drink of choice, and other times it’s a giant billboard suggesting you take a time out to eat a delicious Quarter Pounder. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is very pro in-game ads, and hopes to use StarCraft II as a model example for how well in-game ads could work. One of his ideas is to have other companies sponsor in-game tournaments.

LevelUp - I love the Mad Max movies and I have always dreamed of playing a Mad max video game. George Miller (Mad Max trilogy director) and Cory Barlog (God of War II Director) have teamed up to create the video game. The game will be inspired by the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" which production was canceled on soon after the war in Iraq had started. The game is still in an early design phase but one thing can be certain, there will be melee weapons, projectile weapon and of course vehicles for you to scream around in.

An anonymous reader writes "The NYTimes is running a front-page story about lawyers for suspects in terrorism-related cases fearing government monitoring of privileged conversations.

Is it possible that lawyers don't even know about PGP?" The New Yorker has a detailed piece centering on the Oregon terrorism case discussed by the Times.
