This is quite old but for those of you who don’t know; about a year after The Pirate Bay initially started, DreamWorks sent them an email about infringing on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by allowing the Internet to download Shreak 2 for free.

With the use of an SQL injection, the company said that personal data of some 2,000 customers was stolen from a Canadian Sony Ericsson website and 8,500 user details were leaked on the Sony Music Entertainment website in Greece from a hacker group called Idahca.

NFC (Near Field Communications) is a short ranged (1-4cm), low speed (106 – 414 kbps) and low friction setup (no discovery, no pairing) that does not need a battery to communicate.

– The Android device being used must have an NFC antenna (currently only located at the back of the device on NEXUS S).
– The NFC functionality must be enabled
– The user simply taps the device on anything that is NFC enabled
