isoHunt Settles Final Lawsuit, Owes Canadian Music Group $66 Million in Damages

isoHunt's founder Gary Fung has finally been able to close the final chapter of this adventures with the torrent site that was once upon a time one of the biggest around, with Fung announcing the settlement of his final lawsuit involving the site.

Having previously settled a lawsuit brought forward by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), for a staggering $110 million, this week, Fung settled the last remaining lawsuit with the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) for $66 million.

"And I want to congratulate both Hollywood and CRIA on their victories, in letting me off with fines of $110m and $66m, respectively. Thank you!" Fung sarcastically noted on his Medium account, which also features a GIF of an iconic scene in the movie The Shawshank Redemption that goes well with the article's headline of "free at last".

Like with the previous settlement agreement with the MPAA, Fung is now prohibited from creating or operating a file sharing site (not that he has any intentions to do so), but with the company behind isoHunt now declared bankrupt, it's unlikely the MPAA or the CRIA will recoup any of the declared damages.

The legal actions against isoHunt started way back in 2008, ironically by the CRIA. The proceedings has taken so long that the CRIA has already renamed itself Music Canada in the meantime.

But worryingly for Hollywood and the music industry, a clone of isoHunt (that Fung has no association with whatsoever) is still operating and is still one of the biggest file sharing websites around.

Illinois governor signs new law requiring stricter rules for stingrays

“Citizen Privacy Protection Act” will also force police to delete non-target data.

Illinois has now joined the ever-expanding list of states that require law enforcement officials to explicitly seek court approval before deploying cell-site simulators, which can locate and track a person’s cell phone without their knowledge.

On Friday, Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) signed the “Citizen Privacy Protection Act” into law, which will take effect on January 1, 2017.

The application to the court “must include a description of the nature and capabilities of the cell site simulator device to be used and the manner and method of its deployment, including whether the cell site simulator device will obtain data from non-target communications devices.” The law also requires the “immediate deletion” of non-target data obtained via the cell-site simulator.

MST3K revival goes to Netflix with Patton Oswalt, Felicia Day, Crow T. Robot

Comic-con revealed that the successful Kickstarter will head to living rooms everywhere.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 will return with 14 new full-length episodes, all of which will be streamed on Netflix, according to the Hollywood Reporter, reporting from San Diego Comic-Con. The new series will feature Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt, playing mad scientist Kinga Forrester and henchman "Son of TV’s Frank," respectively.

Mary Jo Pehl and Bill Corbett, who played Pearl Forrester and Crow T. Robot, will also be joining the revival, and former MST3K writer/actor/director/puppeteer Kevin Murphy will also get in on the action.

The series is the result of a 2015 Kickstarter from Joel Hodgson—the MST3K creator set a minimum goal of $2 million to make three full-length episodes, but they surpassed that goal handily, raising $5.7 million. Hodgson will stay onboard as an executive producer of the show and as a writer.

Wonder Woman and American Gods lead the pack for best trailers of Comic-Con

Check out our favorite trailers from San Diego Comic-Con.

For five crazy days last week, San Diego Comic-Con unleashed the power of fandom on an innocent Southern California city. Along with brilliant cosplay, panels with creators and stars, and zillions of collectibles, Comic-Con is home to trailer launches. Attendees and people watching from home get the first glimpse of upcoming sci-fi movies and TV. You can watch all the trailer launches if you want, but Ars has rounded up the best right here.

Wonder Woman trailer from SDCC.

Wonder Woman

Fans have been waiting for this movie pretty much since the 1970s Lynda Carter series went off the air. We shall never, ever speak of David E. Kelly's depressing attempt to create a Wonder Woman show in 2011, and my guess is that we'll rarely discuss the mediocre Batman v. Superman movie from earlier this summer that introduced this new version of Wonder Woman to the world. But if this trailer is any indication, Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) may pull off a genuinely cool Wonder Woman movie. Wonder Woman will be the first-ever movie featuring one of DC's oldest superheroes, whose adventures began back in the 1930s. A supernaturally strong Amazon from a secret island of warrior women, Wonder Woman fought the Nazis in World War II and always tries to solve conflicts with non-lethal weapons.

Writer/producer Zack Snyder, famous for big budget cult flicks like Watchmen and Suckerpunch (and infamous for Batman v. Superman), has made our peace-loving princess into a sword-wielding, armored badass. Which isn't such a bad thing. Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman with grace and gravitas, and Chris Pine (Star Trek) is perfectly fine as the World War I soldier who washes up on the beach and into Wonder Woman's arms. I like the fact that this movie is set during World War I, which is a conflict our heroine hasn't explored before. If Jenkins can marry the powerful character development of Monster with Snyder's visuals from Suckerpunch, this movie is going to rock.

Netflix’s cable box deal with Comcast won’t exempt it from data caps

Netflix video will stream on Comcast cable boxes—but without special treatment.

Netflix and Comcast will be available on the same cable box later this year, but Netflix video will still count against Comcast data caps.

Netflix's deal to get its online video on Comcast's X1 set-top boxes alongside traditional cable TV channels was reported earlier this month by Recode, with the companies saying they "have much work to do before the service will be available to consumers later this year." The deal raised questions about whether Netflix would be exempt from Comcast data caps, but it has already been decided. A Comcast spokesperson answered "yes" when asked if Netflix will continue counting against data caps after being integrated into Comcast cable boxes.

"All data that flows over the public Internet (which includes Netflix) counts toward a customer’s monthly data usage," Comcast told Ars today.
