New ageism laws let older bankers sue for millions
New employment laws have been introduced in the European Union that will help middle-aged and older workers. The Employment Equality Age Regulations became law on October 1 as part of an EU-wide initiative to stop ageism in the workplace. Legislators decided discrimination against older workers and older job seekers was on a par with sex discrimination and that against ethnic minorities. The new laws mean staff can claim significant levels of compensation from employers found guilty of firing staff for being “too old”. Sam Mercer, chief executive of the Employers’ Forum on Age told The Guardian newspaper: "Ageism is still seen as not that bad like speeding. While racism and sexism are viewed like drunk driving - totally unacceptable."
However, not everyone is happy with the new laws. Those likely to most benefit from the new laws are middle-aged bankers, who are often “let go” by their employers for being less dynamic than their younger and more ambitious counterparts. In effect, this means the law will give greater protection to white middle-aged men - called "pale, stale males" by human resource departments. Before the new law was passed, these workers had a very hard time reconstructing their lives after being wrongly fired by companies. Compensation for unfair dismissal claims was capped at around $110,000, which is a fraction of the income for many bankers in their 40s.
This often meant financial ruin for many middle-aged bankers. The new laws change that. Companies now need to be extremely careful when “releasing” older workers, or risk multi-million-dollar payouts to disgruntled staff.

Apple Suing Samsung for Copying
Apple Inc. is suing Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. for copying the design, look and even the packaging of its iPhone and iPad products. Apple alleges that Samsung’s Galaxy phones and tablet computers infringe the patents of its products. Included in the list of infringements are the use of the hand gestures used on Apple’s touch screens, the colour and shape of Samsung’s devices, and even the design of the boxes in which Samsung’s gadgets are sold. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, accused Samsung of violating Apple trademarks and patents. He included the Korean tech giant in a list of companies making tablets that would make 2011 the “Year of Copycats.”
Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesperson, said the company had to protect its intellectual copyright. Samsung executives are not happy at having to fight Apple in court. The two companies are dependent on each other in many ways. Samsung supplies many of the parts for Apple’s iPhone. A Samsung spokesperson said his company’s “development of core technologies and the strengthening of our intellectual property portfolio are keys to our continued success.” He added: “Samsung will respond actively to this legal action taken against us through appropriate legal measures to protect our intellectual property.” The courtroom battle is set to last months, perhaps years. A lot is at stake. Industry analysts predict tablet computers will soon overtake personal computers in global sales. Apple is determined the iPhone, introduced in 2007, and the iPad, which came in 2010, will continue as market leaders.

U.S. Hit by Russian Pirate Sales
Sales of pirated films, software and books in Russia cost U.S. copyright holders billions of dollars. Only China surpassed Russia in piracy.
Increasing the penalty for counterfeiters and using special labels to make pirated merchandise easier to recognize are among the suggestions put forward by the lawmakers.
Deputy Prosecutor General called for a crackdown on manufacturers and retailers of counterfeit merchandise, as on those who provide floor spaces, equipment or other support for pirates.
Unauthorized copies of the latest Hollywood hits as well as pirated business software are easy to find throughout the country and it results in the large losses for copyright holders.
Counterfeit goods account for 35 to 90 percent of turnover in certain market segments, but the most troubling are food and medicine.

Drug Smuggler Arrested
Customs officials at a Sheremetyevo-2 airport have arrested a Columbian man accused of smuggling a record amount of cocaine inside his stomach. The man was transporting over a kilo of cocaine to Hong Kong via Russia. The Colombian approached a customs officer and asked him for medical help. The officer suspected drug smuggling and the man was taken to a hospital where an X-ray showed that his stomach was packed with special containers filled with cocaine. It turned out that the man was trying to transport 1148 grams of the drug in 86 containers. If sold, it could bring him over one million dollars. Usually, drug smugglers do not swallow more than 600 grams.
This way of transporting is considered to be especially dangerous as it can kill the smuggler if the covers of containers are destroyed in the stomach.
If found guilty, the man might face up to 20 years in a Russian prison. He smuggle drugs by the Columbian mafia.

Teacake Wrangle
The European Court of Justice has ruled that British retailer, Marks & Spencer, can claim back £3.5mln in overpaid VAT on teacakes. For years, the British authorities defined a chocolate teacake as a biscuit- which attracts a sales tax- rather than a cake, which does not. So when is a cake not a biscuit?
Teacakes are made of a shortbread base, a marshmallow filling and a chocolate shell. The British tax authorities decided it was a biscuit, a luxury food liable to sales tax. The supermarket insisted it was a cake, a basic food which is exempt from tax.
The argument has been through many courts and the latest decision has been on the cake side of the argument. Marks & Spencer should get a tax refund, said the judge.

Court Jails Pirate Bay File-Sharers
The four founders of the file-sharing website The Pirate Bay have been sent to prison. A court in Sweden sentenced the four men to a year behind bars. Their crime was to help millions of people around the world break international copyright laws. The court also ordered them to pay nearly one million dollars each in damages to major music companies and film studios. This falls far short of the $17 million demanded by the entertainment industry. The site Pirate Bay is the world’s most popular file-sharing site. Over 20 million people use it to download music, movies and computer games for free. Pirate Bay does not have any copyrighted material on its web servers; instead it acts as a search engine so visitors can find files on other computers. The court’s decision may be the beginning of many more file-sharing sites being closed. The ruling has divided people.
The entertainment industry praised the court for protecting the rights of singers, actors and other artists who made their living from their creativity. Industry spokesman John Kennedy said the decision sent a clear message to pirates. "The Pirate Bay did immense harm….There has been a perception that piracy is OK…This verdict will change that," he said. Swedish people are angry over the verdict. There is even a political party that supports The Pirate Bay. Its chairman Rickard Falkvinge said the courts and politicians “have declared war against our whole generation". He called for "file-sharing for the people”.
