Skype Goes to Jail
The Korea Times ran an article today on an investigation into Skype in Korea for supposedly offering voice-over-IP without government authorization. The charges themselves look like they hold no water, but here's the fun part:
Should Skype and Auction be found to have violated laws by not registering their business, they can be subject to a maximum of 150 million won in fines or three years in prison.
So apparantly in Korea they have found a way to send corporations to jail. Ah, if only.

Hey Ben, let us know what's going on when you get a chance. I thought you fell off the face of the earth. Augusto and I have been trying to contact you about the status of thoughtfarm. Remember thoughtfarm?
