2. Ticketmaster -- Links
   Ticketmaster v. Microsoft Dispute (Summary): On April 28, 1997, Ticketmaster sued Microsoft for including a link to the Ticketmaster home page on Microsoft's Seattle Sidewalk entertainment site. Ticketmaster argues that a formal license agreement is required before anyone can link to its site. Ticketmaster had been negotiating such a license with Microsoft, but negotiations broke down. Instead, Ticketmaster entered into an agreement with CitySearch, a competitor of Microsoft's sidewalk site.
3. Battlestar Galactica -- Fans
   Battlestar Galactica fan dilbertman posted a new report at Colonial Fleets: "Just saw this in the August 2003 copy of Sci Fi magazine. On page 9 there is a story about Paul G. Allen co-founder of Microsoft. He is planning to invest $10 to $20 million to build a 'cultural project' in Seattle that will seek to draw visitors into the science-fiction experience. Preliminary plans suggest that if it comes to fruition, it would be part museum, part amusement park and part little boy's fantasy. Tentatively called 'SFX: The Science Fiction Experience', the project is to fill 13,000 square feet of the exhibit space that has been part of the Experience Music Project. The sci-fi project is scheduled to open in the summer of 2004.
4. Fan Fiction -- Stories
   Fan fiction has become more popular and widespread since the advent of the World Wide Web. Many archives such as The Gossamer Project were created, hosting specific sorts of stories, or stories for specific fandoms. In 1998 FanFiction.Net came online. At the time of its initial creation, it accepted any sort of writing, original or fan fiction. It has since separated its original fiction section to another website and banned several subgenres, including explicitly sexual stories (referred to as "NC-17" before the Motion Picture Association of America chose to enforce its ownership of the MPAA ratings system), real person fiction, and stories featuring song lyrics (the latter two in order to avoid legal problems, including copyright infringement for unauthorized use of lyrics). This ability to self-publish fan fiction at a common archive, and the ability to review the stories directly on the site, became popular quite quickly.
5. Free Web Pages -- Service

6. Harry Potter Pictures -- Series
   Harry Potter Characters - The Harry Potter Characters Page gives you access to biographies, pictures and links to all the Harry Potter Characters from the series. Including: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and more!
7. Sports -- Athletes
   In today's age of sports where elite athletes take their bodies through regress workouts and strict dieting to gain an edge on the competition feel as though that might not be enough. Many athletes have decided to take their over the edge. Steroids has become a way for athletes of lesser talent to compete with the superstars and for superstars to compete with the history books. In 2004 steroids became a major topic in the sports world when Jose Canseco wrote a tell tell book about his use of steroids and many other famous MLB stars. This set the stage for many well known superstars to have defend their stats and character.
8. E Mail Address -- Microsoft Web

From there, they select to download the Video Mail client by clicking on the Video Mail icon at the top of the Comcast.net home page. Customers can then download the Video Mail client by following on-screen prompts. Once downloaded, Comcast Video Mail can be launched from three different locations: the top of the Comcast.net portal, within Comcast Webmail, or via a Comcast Video Mail icon on the taskbar.
9. Broadway Musicals -- Movies
   The turning of movies into musicals, now a well-established fact of commercial life on Broadway, has given birth to enough winners ("The Lion King," "The Producers," "Hairspray") that the process can't be dismissed out of hand. But the ways in which the trend has been manifested this season are grim. The latest self-cannibalizing Disney musical, "Tarzan," adapted from the company's 1999 animated feature, feels like a protracted stunt to promote sales of the cartoon DVD, despite all the time and many millions that have obviously been sunk into the show.
10. The Evil Dead -- Book
    One of the highlights of this package is The Evil Dead Journal by Josh Becker (Director of Running Time). This is a 32 page booklet tracing Josh Becker's experiences on the set of The Evil Dead. It reads somewhere between Scott's diary and a drunken confession. It's sometimes funny and at times disturbing in its drunken and drug-fuelled paranoia. The final page of this booklet contains some web links, some of which have gone by the wayside since it was first published in 2002.
