Hollywood copying software sparks USB copyright clash
Washington AP reports Maryland consultant Brian Martin keeps a 200 plus DVD collection worth over $3,000 while a new class of home copying software enables quick duplicates. The looming court fight, led by MPAA, challenges whether personal backups infringe the 1998 DMCA. 321 Studios argues fair use and consumer rights may justify copies.

Americans vary in activity levels study finds
A CDC study of 32 000 interviews in 2000 shows one quarter of American adults are couch potatoes with virtually no exercise, while three quarters engage in at least moderate activity weekly. About 20 percent are very active, exercising five 30 minute sessions weekly or three 20 minute sessions. The report highlights daily activity correlating with leisure activity and urges 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days to combat obesity and disease. Toronto is removed from SARS hotspots by WHO after 20 days without a new domestic case, with last case isolated April 20.
