Europeans are just not as well connected. File sharing works best with good broadband connections, but only 8 percent of European households have broadband, compared with 15 percent in the United States. Surfers in the United States are also more likely to download music, and do it in much greater volume, according to Forrester Research. Most of the people sued last week had amassed huge music libraries. And one of the driving forces behind file sharing is college-dorm broadband connections, which are much more common in the States than in Europe....

Swansea 11/8 to beat Newcastle He’s Europe’s Golden Boy; the best young player at Euro 2016 but his rocket of a career is spluttering. While Cristiano Ronaldo and Bernardo Silva and the rest of Portugal’s superstars attempt to negotiate two straightforward World Cup 2018 qualifiers, Renato will instead be working well away from the limelight. The next time he pulls on a shirt and laces boots it won’t be for Bayern Munich, it’ll be for Swansea City in South Wales....

THEIL: How close were you to getting bought by Microsoft?

The Indian hockey team will play their first match after the ouster of chief coach Paul van Ass and the appointment of high-performance director Roelant Oltmans in his place. They will take on France here on Monday and Wednesday in a two-match series before proceeding to Spain where they will play three matches.

In the original paper, Wilson and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, analyzed DNA from 147 people in five continents. They chose mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which codes not for height or other traits but for cogs in cells’ energy factories. The wonder of mtDNA is that a child inherits it solely from his or her mother. It passes down through the generations cleanly, not scrambled up with paternal DNA as regular genes are....

He recently challenged WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the first Hell in a Cell match to ever air on Smackdown. Friday night turned out to be yet another chapter in Mysterio’s book about attempting to beat the odds. Reigns easily had the size and strength advantage, standing seven inches taller and weighing nearly 100 pounds more than the legendary luchador. While the Tribal Chief eventually emerged as the victor, Mysterio showcased his signature style of survival....

One of the biggest problems new anime fans face when picking up One Piece for the first time is the sheer length of the material. By and large, anime requires some level of dedication from its fans, but when a franchise contains over 1000 anime episodes and manga chapters, it takes sheer will for newbies to persevere. The same problem carries over to gaming, as players want to understand as much plot material as possible - but finding the time to sift through thousands of hours worth of content is a tough ask, so at first glance, One Piece Odyssey might seem like an easy skip....

Lionel Messi and Co are set to take in a crunch clash in Quito with their involvement at next summer’s showpiece in Russia still hanging in the balance.

With the football-loving public in Argentina set to be engrossed by goings on at Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa, the decision has been taken to delay any possible distractions....

To many, The next generation is always the most exciting. When adopting this mindset, Kylian Mbappe can be portrayed as the next Pele, Marcus Rashford as some sort of Usain Bolt/Eusebio hybrid and Renato Sanches as the best thing since someone ran a knife through a crusty loaf. How the Alves & Barca love story ended Even John Stones can earn the nickname ‘the Barnsley Beckenbauer’ without an eyelid being batted....

That thinking doesn’t fully apply to Netflix’s version of Bebop, though, since its creators have explicitly stated that the series is not a remake, rather focusing on expanding the stories already in the world. But with characters returning like Spike Speigel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), as well as familiar scenes spotted in the opening titles, it might be smart for viewers old and new to take a look at the original series....

Lawmakers in multiple nations have demanded an investigation into how the virus started and was able to spread so far and so fast. It has infected more than 3.2 million people and killed more than 233,000 to date, according to Johns Hopkins University. China has rejected the demands, dismissing any suggestion that it mishandled the outbreak when it appeared in the central city of Wuhan. The Chinese Communist Party has been accused of trying to cover up the initial outbreak and underreporting the number of infections and deaths from the virus....

NICE (Reuters) - It has been a long time coming but Spain look as if they may finally have solved their number nine problems following Alvaro Morata’s two goals in the 3-0 win over Turkey. The relief was palpable on the face of 23-year-old when he broke the deadlock with a majestic header after the criticism he suffered for his performance against the Czech Republic. “Two years ago, I was watching on the television and now I’m here,” he said....

Scotland knew they needed a win to progress, having lost to the Czech Republic and drawn with England in their first two Euro 2020 matches. They started brightly and came close to taking the lead early on. John McGinn’s in-swinging cross was very nearly turned in by Che Adams in the sixth minute, but went just wide. However, it was Croatia who took the lead in the 17th minute. Josip Juranovic’s cross from the right was headed down by Ivan Perisic....

It is crucial that Spain finish ahead of the pack in their group at Euro 2020. If not, they will definitely be facing one of the bigger teams in the next round with a real possibility of exiting the tournament early. Spain’s failure in major tournaments Spain’s recent history in international competitions has not been very good, to put it mildly. After a historic four years from 2008 to 2012, where they won the Euros twice and the World Cup, Spain have had a monumental fall....

Despite being shut out for large parts of the game by the Hungarian defence, Didier Deschamps’ side managed to create some excellent goalscoring opportunities. However, they were uncharacteristically wasteful in front of goal, which proved costly in the end. Hungary, meanwhile, produced a courageous performance against the world champions to keep their knockout hopes alive. France made to rue missed opportunities as Hungary pick up their first point at Euro 2020 France had two great opportunities to take the lead inside the first 30 minutes of the game....

On his first return to his old stomping ground since leaving the Westfalenstadion in 2015, emotions were expectedly running high. However, Klopp meant business when Liverpool got their noses ahead after Divock Origi struck just nine minutes from half-time. The Reds appeared to be cruising to a dream victory at Dortmund, but Mats Hummels threw a spanner in their works when he struck a header three minutes into the second half to level the scores....

Call it Europe’s Enron. For the financial scandal that has swept up Bankgesellschaft Berlin is every bit as breathtaking as its American counterpart, both in the scale of its losses and the connivance with which they purportedly were covered up. But here the parallels stop. In the United States, Enron touched off a public outcry leading to a criminal investigation, jailed executives, the collapse of a major auditing company and a host of new laws cracking down on intransparent corporate reporting....
