Through Operation Fake Sweep, a nationwide enforcement operation targeting stores, flea markets and street vendors selling counterfeit game-related sportswear, we seized more than 42,692 NFL trademarked items with a record-breaking value of $4.86 million – up from $3.72 million last year.

And this was achieved without new legislation. There really is no need for SOPA.

This is great news. Democracy has its potential.

Also, take a look at the post by Slovenia’s Ambassdor to Japan where she apologises for signing the agreement.

Seems like the storm today took people by surprise. I have to question though, what pushes people to drive so close to each other?

Despite profits being down 12% to $58.9 million on $643 million in revenue, it still is a very decent profit in the media world.

Also worth noting is:

Subscription revenue increased by 5% to bring in $241.6 million. This increased subscription revenue came, perhaps as a result of the company launching its much publicized digital pay wall. Paid digital subscriptions increased by 20% to about 390,000, for the NY Times and International Herald Tribune.

20% increase in paid digital subscriptions is quite good. I think we’re only in the beginning of this trend. It will continue to increase.
