BEASTIE BOYS SUING MONSTER … It’s been a few months since the sad passing of Beastie Boy, Adam “MCA” Yauch, but the band is back in the news this week.  They’re suing the makers of Monster energy drink for copyright infringement: www.MTV.ca/news/article.jhtml?id=45048

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST … Here’s another reason you should be ultra-aware of what you post on the internet.  A mom is suing a company after her breastfeeding video was edited to include some porn, then posted on the web for the world to see.  Nasty?  Yes.  But uncommon?  No.  Be careful: www.TorontoSun.com/2012/08/10/mom-sues-after-breastfeeding-video-turned-into-porn
