THE BIG STORY
The FBI has recently adopted a novel investigative technique: posting hyperlinks that purport to be illegal videos of minors having sex, and then raiding the homes of anyone willing to click on them.
Undercover FBI agents used this hyperlink-enticement technique, which directed Internet users to a clandestine government server, to stage armed raids of homes in Pennsylvania, New York, and Nevada last year. The supposed video files actually were gibberish and contained no illegal images.
A CNET News.com review of legal documents shows that courts have approved of this technique, even though it raises questions about entrapment, the problems of identifying who's using an open wireless connection--and whether anyone who clicks on a FBI link that contains no child pornography should be automatically subject to a dawn raid by federal police.
Roderick Vosburgh, a doctoral student at Temple University who also taught history at La Salle University, was raided at home in February 2007 after he allegedly clicked on the FBI's hyperlink. Federal agents knocked on the door around 7 a.m., falsely claiming they wanted to talk to Vosburgh about his car. Once he opened the door, they threw him to the ground outside his house and handcuffed him.

50 FREED OF HIS CHAINS IN AFRICA
50 Cent may have lost a bit of weight for his latest movie role, but the MC is still a force to be reckoned with. A fan in Angola appears to have learned that lesson the hard way recently when he jumped onstage during a G-Unit show in the African nation and snatched 50's chain from his neck mid-song.
On shaky video captured by a fan, an unidentified person can be seen climbing onstage, ripping what appears to be a chain from 50's neck and then jumping back into the crowd. The music stops almost immediately and the crowd can be seen surging back and forth as it appears the culprit is making his way to the back of the venue.
On Monday, the matter was addressed on 50's personal Web site, ThisIs50.com: "Recently 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo were performing in Angola, Africa. Being that security was limited, fans were able to interact with the group on stage. However one fan had a different motive, and bit off more than he can chew, as he attempted to run up on 50 and snatch his chain."
According to the post, "50 pushed him off the stage and jumped into the crowd and then all hell broke loose." The site promised more on the incident soon, including live footage from the chain grab.
An unnamed G-Unit insider reportedly told TMZ.com that what isn't seen in the fan video was that 50 jumped off the stage, "and punched the man who tried to jack him." The insider also reportedly said, "The chain is around 50's neck right now."
