...first play (with remarkable clarity, too, thanks to Harvard’s draconian booze statutes): with Harvard’s star defensive tackle Michael Berg and his cohorts stacking the line to stop McLeod, Polhemus faked a handoff to the wunderkind and dashed 19 yards on a naked bootleg. Polhemus would indeed dance all day in the pocket, then McLeod would gallop into the endzone (it happened three times) while Dawson ended his college career with only the 60 yards Brandt Hollander and the rabid Yale defense generously allowed...

One bust targeted a bootleg-DVD factory near Kuala Lumpur that Malaysian officials estimate could have produced 60,000 copies...

...king of flouting copyright protection, Malaysia still consistently features on the U.S. government's piracy watch list. Local officials report that 2,000 raids were carried out last year across Malaysia, netting 5 million counterfeit DVDs. Lucky and Flo's effort will likely boost this year's bootleg count. But walking around Kuala Lumpur during the dogs' visit, I saw little evidence that video pirates were running scared. Vendors openly hawked copies of recent Hollywood hits along with popular films from India's film industry, Bollywood. Many of the covers featured misspellings - Judd Apatow's Knicked Up, anyone...
