Berlin-based Royalty-Free library fStop is pleased to announce the release of fCards - an atypically stylish virtual postcard application for iPhone/iPod/iPad, available now through the iTunes store for $1.99.

Select from amongst the excellent fStop images we've included in the App (or take/use one of your own photographs), position your greeting (using one of the five great FontFont typefaces included) where it looks best on the front by dragging it with your finger, and then flip the card over to write a personal message to send the card via Email or share on Facebook.

Byby Sylvie FodorOn 18 December 2009 a French court found Google guilty of "counterfeiting" and violating copyright of French publisher La Martinière by digitizing hundreds of books within their Google Book Search programme.

Google has to pay €300,000 ($430,000) in damages and interest to the plaintiff and stop digitizing and putting the books online. http://www.legipresse.com/newsletter/bandeaux/000001/000084.pdf

The importance of this ruling cannot be overestimated.
