**Copies, Webcasts tangled in draft bill**  
Legislators are readying a bill that could sharply limit Americans' rights
relating to copying music, taping TV shows, and transferring files through the
Internet. At the same time, the draft legislation seen by CNET News.com would
place the struggling Webcasting industry on firmer legal footing.

**Sharp's Zaurus PDA suffers security holes**  
Sharp's Linux-based, business-oriented Zaurus handheld suffers from security
holes that could let hackers grab private data off a corporate network,
according to researchers at Syracuse University. In an advisory posted
Wednesday to a Syracuse University computer-science Web site, researchers said
they had found vulnerabilities in Sharp's Zaurus SL-5500 and Zaurus SL-5000D
handhelds. The flaws let attackers take control of the device's file system,
giving them the power to overwrite files or lock the device so no data can be
input through the keypad or touch screen.

**Outlook plug-in could let the hackers in**  
A widely used plug-in for Microsoft's Outlook e-mail client that lets users
encrypt and digitally sign messages has inadvertently weakened security and
left the mail program open to attack. Security company eEye Digital Security
issued a warning late Wednesday to users of Network Associates' Pretty Good
Privacy (PGP) plug-in for Outlook, saying that a vulnerability in the add-on
could let attackers execute malicious software on a victim's computer. Network
Associates released a patch for the problem Wednesday as well.

**ACLU: Don't rat out your customers**  
A clutch of civil liberties groups is asking small Internet service providers
to get a backbone and stand up to companies seeking to unveil anonymous
critics. A group including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Center for Democracy and Technology is
urging ISPs to alert customers when they are the targets of so-called John Doe
legal actions, which try to unmask the identities of people who anonymously
air their companies' dirty laundry. The group has sent letters to more than
100 ISPs, asking them to adopt a written policy promising to let customers
know if they're targets.

**Shareholders sue PayPal, eBay**  
The PayPal-eBay merger has hit an early snag: Two shareholder lawsuits have
been filed against the companies seeking to block the deal. The lawsuits, each
filed in Delaware Chancery Court earlier this week on behalf of PayPal
shareholders, charge that the deal represents a breach of the companies'
fiduciary duty to those shareholders and that the price eBay is paying for
PayPal is unfair and inadequate, the companies said in separate regulatory
filings on Thursday.

**Ellison: I don't need an understudy**  
Deflecting continuing calls for a No. 2 executive, Oracle Chief Executive
Larry Ellison said again Wednesday that the company does not need anyone to
back him up. Ellison, responding primarily to recent news stories that the
company might need a second in command, said the current team is enough to
guide Oracle.
