Interview with the creators of Minority Report’s “previsions”: The ingenious previsions, a blur of expressionistic moments in time that congeal into hard evidence, were created by Imaginary Forces’ Kurt Mattila and Matt Checkowski.

Digital entertainment: Rights and Responsibilities: Alarmed by the trading of copyrighted music, movies and television shows on the Internet, the entertainment industry is waging a relentless battle against digital piracy.
