Innovation like that could also help to strangle music piracy; some 20 billion files were downloaded illegally in 2006. The music business has called on Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which host that traffic, to do more to choke it off, and an agreement was reached in France late last year requiring ISPs to stop large-scale copyright infringers.

So much so, in fact, that its image was used to bolster London's winning bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, and UNESCO named it a World Heritage Site in 1986. Of course, it's also a mecca for New-Age seekers, who see it as a center of mystical energy. Not surprisingly, then, Stonehenge draws throngs of visitors - 875,000 last year alone - although they are often...
