...other countries," according to the Business Software Alliance (BSA), an umbrella group of companies which worked with police on the operation, known as smart. The BSA says it is also cooperating with authorities in the U.K., Netherlands, Germany and Spain on similar large-scale piracy rings. Among the loot seized in operation smart: video games and videocassettes (everything from film classics to the latest Robert De Niro flicks); counterfeit industrial cad/cam software that normally retails for $5,000 to $20,000 per title; more than 400,000 MP3 music files (recordable CDs and burned DVDs containing 80 music albums each...
...game has earned its share of controversy. Measured by its body count, GTA3 is pretty tame--compared with, for example, Space Invaders--but all that freedom can lead to some vicious scenarios.

(Then you can spend your ill-gotten gains on one of Liberty City's many prostitutes.)

It was the ultimate in retail vindication: Minutes after entering a designer store only to be greeted with death stares from Ivana Trump look-alike assistants, I would saunter out with a huge sack of shoes equivalent in value to a semester of tuition at Harvard...
...Mandan are as friendly today as they were 200 years ago, their neighbors the Sioux, who were ornery in their encounters with Lewis and Clark, remain almost as testy. A South Dakota "scenic byway" designation drew initial opposition on the Standing Rock reservation. Traditionalists fear that tourists will loot sacred grave sites. And while the tribe is seeking grants for roadside panels and interpretive centers, the message will be mixed. "Our people have for too long put on beads and feathers and danced for the white man," says Ronald McNeil, a great-great-great grandson of Chief Sitting Bull...
