Pirated ‘Sicko’ surfaces on YouTube,ancestry.com adds dna results on net

Pirated ‘Sicko’ surfaces on YouTube:
Moviegoers interested in seeing Michael Moore’s US health-care expose, ‘Sicko’, could find it easily on YouTube this weekend. Two weeks before its June 29 opening, a 124-minute version of the film was available on the popular website, posted by at least two users in 14 consecutive video chunks. (The film clocked in at 113 minutes when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.) The YouTube appearance comes on the heels of a fairly high-quality pirated version available via BitTorrent file-sharing software and peerto-peer websites last week, first reported by Advertising Age on Friday.

ancestry.comadding test results: For less than $200 and a cheek-swiped cotton swab, amateur historians will soon be able to add DNA results to family tree websites. The rapidly growing field of online genealogical searches is expanding to genetic testing, courtesy of a new partnership between the Internet’s largest family history website,ancestry.com and a private DNA research firm. It plans to launch the testing product by the end of summer, offering customers the possibility of finding DNA matches in the site’s 24,000 genealogical databases.
