Seizure of computers |

According to articles here and here, proposed new copyright legislation could allow the Justice Department to seize and auction off any computer or hardware "facilitating" a copyright violation without the owner needing to be convicted of any crime. From the first article:
Quote: * Any computer or network hardware used to "facilitate" a copyright crime could be seized by the Justice Department and auctioned off. The proceeds would be funneled to the agency's budget. The process is called civil asset forfeiture, and typically the owner does not need to be found guilty of a crime for his property to be taken.
I find this, particularly on the tail of the $220,000 verdict in favor of the RIAA, quite worrying.

Prestige Bonus! Base Plot Expanded! |

Okay - first things first - just so that nobody else who has access gets into the base editor and/or personal item placement screen and wonders what the HELL happened to all that lovely prestige we were supposed to get? Be assured, we DID get it. And it was put to good use.
This morning, just before server shutdown, I took a screenshot of the base editor (which I'll link later) which shows the Legendary Prestige sitting as follows:
Legendary Prestige BEFORE Prestige bonus: 2,924,170
This morning, just before I upgraded the plot, the prestige bonus bumped us up to -
Legendary Prestige Bonus AFTER Prestige Bonus: 6,597,540
So! Not bad at all! Now, I've immediately upgraded the plot of the Legendary base from 12x12 to 16x16 plot size. Here's how the base currently sits on the plot:
![[Image: Base_Legendary_16x16.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/Logan_Darklighter/City%20of%20Heroes/The%20Legendary/Base_Legendary_16x16.jpg)
So that's where we currently stand. It took nearly all of the new prestige boost to get there too! We have 340,491 left. This would have taken months and maybe YEARS to get up to. We can expand the base now and eventually fit all the teleporters in. We really couldn't have gone anywhere new with the old plot. And while it'll take awhile to see anything new with the new plot, and we'll still need to amass some more prestige, upgrades are now going to be possible where they were not before. ^_^

...the Beatles had covered "Stairway to Heaven"?
Then it would probably have looked and sounded like this. Or maybe like this.
Not to your liking? How about an opera version?
