"In the latest turn in an ongoing legal dispute, Canadian ISP TekSavvy has been ordered to hand over the IP addresses information of subscribers allegedly engaging in copyright infringement of Voltage Pictures works.

While it doesn't look like a great decision on the surface (an IP address does not uniquely identify an infringer), the court specifically said it wants to sign off on the wording of any contact notices issued by Voltage to prevent extortionary "Copyright Troll" messages. It will be interesting to see if this new decision scales."

    "...then I noticed Allowed HTML but I couldn't figure out how to edit my submission."

    I have been composing my submissions in the submission form with "plain old text" selected, and periodically backing it up in a .rtf file as I go along. Add in your HTML (I've been avoiding HTML paragraph breaks as they seem a little buggy at times), and then "Preview" to test the HTML and visual layout. Backup in the .rtf, rinse repeat.

    When it's good to go, submit--once they are submitted, you cannot edit your submission. (as I said, hopefully this will change in the near future)

    Having an unedited backup of your original submission allows you to determine what changes were made by the editors.

    Look forward to your next submission!

    I hope I can change this later...
