Illustrator How-To: Turn Bitmap Images into Vector Art
Transforming the jagged edges of raster images into the smooth curves of vector art isn't hard to do using Adobe Illustrator's Auto Trace feature. But the end result can look simplistic. For more sophisticated images, you'll need additional help from Illustrator's path-editing tools and from your image editing application. Here's what you need to do. "

Mike Davidson: How to Snatch an Expiring Domain
Mike Davidson: How to Snatch an Expiring Domain: "I recently found myself in the position of wanting to register a domain which was owned by someone else. The domain was set to expire in a week, and I figured there was a decent chance that the person who owned it wouldn’t be renewing it. Upon consulting the WhoIs registry on the current owner, I discovered the guy was a bit of a domain shark and didn’t seem to be around anymore.
So I placed a backorder through GoDaddy for $18.95 thinking that was all I needed to do. During the week that followed, I learned a lot about the domain expiration process. Two and a half months and $369 later, I am the proud owner of a shiny new domain. A really really good one.
This article will explain the domain expiration process and what you need to do in order to use it to your advantage."

Japanese Trek Art
Japanese Trek Art: "Introducing Mr. Toru Kanamori
Now in semi-retirement in his home in Ome, a suburban area of Tokyo, Toru Kanamori was - at the height of his career - one of Tokyo's most in-demand illustrators. Magazine stories, book covers, children's books, novels ... you name it, he was on call to illustrate it.
The public at large is not familiar with his name, but anybody who grew up during the years that his illustrations filled children's encyclopedias is certainly familiar with his work, as is any fan of the massively bestselling author Nishimura Juko, more than 100 of whose novels were 'covered' by Kanamori-sensei.
When the Star Trek boom first swept across Japan, and publishers scrambled to bring out translated editions of the books based on the TV shows, he was an obvious choice to do the illustration work."

Justice Dept. targets online pirates in 11-nation crackdown

Justice Dept. targets online pirates in 11-nation crackdown
Alberto Gonzales
By Brooks Boliek
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department announced Thursday an 11-nation crackdown on large-scale Internet pirates who illegally distribute first-run movies, video games and other copyrighted materials.
FBI agents and investigators in the other nations conducted 90 searches starting Wednesday, arresting four people and shutting down at least eight major online distribution servers for pirated works, a Justice official said. Authorities also seized hundreds of computers in raids in the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
"By dismantling these networks the department is striking at the top of the copyright piracy supply chain, a distribution chain that provides the vast majority of illegal digital content now available online," said attorney general Alberto Gonzales. "By penetrating this illegal world of high-technology and intellectual property theft, we have shown that law enforcement can and will find, and will prosecute, those who try to use the Internet to create piracy networks beyond the reach of law enforcement.
Operation Site Down marked the culmination of three separate undercover investigations conducted by the FBI. At least eight major online distribution sites were dismantled, preventing tens of millions of dollars in further losses to the content industry, the department said. More than 120 leading members of the organized online piracy underground were identified by the investigation, which is still open.
"The theft of this property strikes at the heart of America's economy," said FBI assistant director Louis M. Reigel. "It deprives many Americans and others around the globe of their right to be paid for their labor and enjoy the value of their hard work."
Among those arrested was Chirayu Patel of Fremont, Calif., who was charged with violating federal copyright protection laws, said a law enforcement official.
Patel is alleged to be a member of a "warez" group, a kind of underground Internet co-op that is set up to trade in copyrighted materials. Warez (pronounced "wares") groups are extraordinarily difficult to infiltrate because users talk only in encrypted chat rooms, their computer servers require passwords and many are located overseas, the FBI said.
Warez groups differ from popular file-swapping networks, where millions of files are shared without such precautions.
Last month, authorities shut down a popular Web site that facilitated the downloading of movies and other materials. Investigators said many of the copyrighted movies were available through the Elite Torrents site even before their commercial release. No arrests were announced at the time.
President Bush signed a new law last month setting tough penalties of up to 10 years in prison for anyone caught distributing a movie or song prior to its commercial release.
Estimates of the value of pirated works seized in Wednesday and Thursday's action exceeds $50 million. Top-level release groups like those targeted in the operation are primary suppliers to the for-profit criminal distribution networks that cost the copyright industry billions of dollars each year.
Illegal warez copies of titles such as Autocad 2006, a computer assisted design device, and feature films such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are easily and cheaply converted to optical discs and distributed throughout the world from factories in Asia and elsewhere. Spammers regularly advertise cheap software that can be downloaded from Web sites or shipped from overseas, usually bearing the signature mark of the warez group that released it.
MPAA officials were pleased with the action.
"We applaud the efforts of the Department of Justice and the FBI and their overseas counterparts with respect to Operation Site Down, and are happy to have assisted them," said John G. Malcolm, senior vp and director, Worldwide Anti-Piracy Operations, MPAA. "We are well aware how difficult it is to identify and investigate secretive and tech savvy release groups which are able to operate in many countries because of the worldwide reach of the Internet. Early indications are that the impact of this ongoing investigation will be deeply felt as even the most sophisticated online pirates come to realize that they are not anonymous when they engage in these harmful and highly illegal activities."
