Algeria gets tough on CD, DVD pirating

ALGIERS, Algeria

Power shovels and a bulldozer destroyed a huge mound of 2 million illegally copied CDs and DVDs Monday outside Algeria’s Culture Ministry, as part of a government pledge to crack down on long-rampant digital piracy.

PBS film on couple who defied Nazis

new york

PBS will air a film in September about an American couple who spent two years rescuing Jews in Europe before and after the start of World War II, made by the couple’s grandson with documentarian Ken Burns. The 90-minute film, scheduled to air Sept. 20, tells of Unitarian minister Waitsill Sharp and his wife, Martha. The Wellesley, Mass., couple helped save hundreds of people in 1939 and 1940, risking imprisonment and death if discovered by the Nazis.

Burns called it “one of the most-incredible tales of compassion, sacrifice and heroism” he’d heard of, and was unaware of them until the Sharps’ grandson, Artemis Joukowsky, told him. Tom Hanks will voice Waitsill Sharp in the film.
