During the past week, the US has seen its dirty laundry posted all over the internet; it was caught with its pants down; it was caught like a kid with its hand in the cookie jar... you get the idea. In an effort to "keep governments open" wikileaks has leaked classified US embassy cables from around the world. Here's a taste from what has been revealed during this past week. They have 251,287 cables and are slowly releasing them online.
The recent discussion about the TV rights of Cypriot football brings to mind two important related issues. One is the issue of copyrights and the other is the role that the internet might play in this matter.

One of the sections that we hope will change often is the projects page, where we showcase a selection of our completed projects. We have two sites that are close to completion; one for a local production company and another for a large distributor of international brands to the Cypriot market.
