A 36-year-old Baltimore woman claims she was tased by police and arrested while filming the arrest of a man with her mobile phone, according to a lawsuit to be served on the Baltimore City Police Department as early as Thursday.

While in custody, she gave her phone to an officer to show the video that she didn't try to run over anybody. The video was allegedly erased from the phone in what her attorney, Joshua Insley, described in a telephone interview as a "coverup."

The suit, filed last week, said the police "attacked" the woman, "dragged" her from her vehicle, and "threw her onto the street, handcuffed her, tasered her, called her a 'dumb bitch,' and kept her restrained."

“Unfortunately, the theft of these films – and their subsequent downloads – has been facilitated by web-hosting companies and, ultimately, ISPs who do have to step-up and take some responsibility.”

Weatherley doesn’t provide detail on precisely why web-hosts and ISPs should take responsibility for the work of malicious hackers (possibly state-sponsored) and all subsequent fall out from attacks. The theory is that “something” should be done, but precisely what remains elusive.

As part of its yearly crackdown, police in Sussex and Surrey are taking to Twitter to document the alcohol-related arrests they make on the road. Each snippet mentions where and when the motorist was pulled over, but also, more importantly, their name if they're eventually charged.

The idea, of course, is to deter people from driving under the influence, but, if they're caught and publicly shamed, it'll also discourage friends and family members from doing the same.

He told a conference in London, via a video link, that his lawyers had resigned because he had run out of money.

"They're trying to outspend Kim Dotcom. They are trying to win on procedure rather than merit. And we're going to do the best that we can so Kim Dotcom has a fair playing field."

"Not having legal representation should not prevent an individual from challenging extradition proceedings if he or she has good grounds to do so," Neil Smyth, a partner at the law firm Taylor Wessing, told the BBC.

Since beginning in 2011, Rightscorp has lost $6.5 million. It now needs to find additional investors to avoid bankruptcy. "If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital it could be forced to cease operations," it acknowledged in its most recent SEC filing.

Rightscorp's stock closed Friday around 14 cents per share, hovering near its all-time low.

Two men in the United Kingdom have been sentenced to jail for operating "Dancing Jesus," a website with illegal links to music that was operational between 2006 and 2011.

Piracy sites in the US have led to major civil lawsuits, but criminal copyright charges for distributing music are a rarity, with Kim Dotcom's Megaupload being a huge exception to that rule. In the UK, however, private copyright investigations can lead to criminal prosecutions and jail time, such as the four-year-sentence for Anton Vickerman, who created the illegal TV-linking site SurfTheChannel.

Arnold Abbott heads the group Love Thy Neighbor, which has been feeding the homeless in the city for over 20 years. However, he and two pastors were arrested over the weekend for violating a new city law that outlaws sharing food with homeless people in public.

“The police came in and said, ‘Drop that plate!’” Abbott told a local reporter. “Like I was carrying a weapon!”

Greenacres Police Officer Jared Nash is accused of breaking a 14-year-old girl's arm during an arrest attempt that was initiated because the officer attempted to view a video on her cell phone without a search warrant. The officer then arrested the teen for resisting arrest.

"[She] then began to twist and pull her arm around in an increased physical level trying to pull away," Nash claims. "I then tried placing [her] left hand behind her back to secure her in handcuffs due to her pushing me, her increasing attempts to break away from my grasp, and continuing to try hand the phone to [her friend] despite my orders not to."

The latest action, on Thursday morning, saw a man, 55, and woman, 39, arrested in Bury for allegedly selling hard drives containing up to 200,000 counterfeited files.

Pipcu said the drives contained a mixture of karaoke tunes, full music tracks and music videos thought to be worth "more than £350,000".

The new funding will come from the budget of the Intellectual Property Office - which is supported by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

The rumored figure we mentioned then was the already-generous €3.7 billion; but it has just been revealed that Vattenfall is actually demanding even more -- €4.7 billion, to be precise.

Two other energy companies, RWE and E.on, are unable to sue in the same way as Vattenfall, because they are German companies, and the ISDS option is only available to foreign investors.

RWE and E.on are also trying to sue in Germany's national courts in order to obtain compensation, as Vattenfall is doing with the ISDS tribunals
