September-its fastest pace since last year's global financial crisis. India,
along with several other Asian economies, is recovering from the global

A case involving online swapping of songs and movies has headed
to the Supreme Court. The issue is whether two Internet file-sharing services
may be held responsible for their customer's swapping activities. A lower court
ruled in favor of Ghost Stream Cassette Networks. It ruled the Networks aren't
responsible for what their customers do with their software once it is
downloaded because they don't point users to copyright materials. But MGM
Studios and other entertainment companies are appealing. They say file sharing
is inflicting what they call catastrophic multi-billion- dollar harm. And they
say they can't recover that money by suing the people who download copyright
materials.
SEOUL
A South
Korean military helicopter crashed into a bridge in Seoul yesterday, apparently

decoration work on the Olympic Bridge, built to commemorate the 1988 Olympic
Games.

said the spokesman. "Given the time that has passed since the accident there are
no chances of survival for the other two crews. "
No vehicles
on the bridge were involved in the accident, which occurred about one hour
before the afternoon rush hour, because the police had cleared the area for the
work.
