The 1.5 Million CDs Lost In Sony London Fire Are Not Covered By Insurance

CDs, DVDs, Blu Ray, Vinyl And Equipment Burned To A Crisp

Sony CEO Howard Stringer

Reports indicate the 1,500,000 CDs and an as yet unnumbered amount of DVDs, stored in the Sony warehouse in Canning Town, London that was torched in a massive blaze this week, are reportedly not covered by insurance, due to the incident having transpired during riots.

A large number of blank discs Sony uses to make CDs, DVDs and Blu Ray products, were also incinerated in the fire, resulting in a shortage. Firefighters have battled the blaze for three days, as they've been dismantling the large, charred building, to reach a segment of the structure that is still emitting smoke. Three teens were arrested yesterday in connection with the blaze.


Sony has been having a very difficult time with insurance adjusters of late. Case in point, after a collective of hackers completely hacked the Sony websites, stole financial and personal data of 100,000,000 customers, creating billions in losses for the company, their insurance company sued, stating they are not paying Sony, as the incident occurred due to their negligence and poor security practices.

It was later revealed, Sony kept customers' valuable financial data and personal information on unencrypted servers, containing outdated firewalls and next to no security. They had the funds to provide good security, but Stringer's cockiness and cheapness in cutting corners caught up with the company.

Studio Changes Its Mind And Gives Megan Fox's "Passion Play" Limited Release


Megan Fox In "Passion Play"

Embarrassment engulfed fired "Transformers" star, Megan Fox, when it was announced earlier this week in the press (the Daily Mail), her latest film "Passion Play" was not going to hit movie theaters. The Judiciary Report, being the dignified site it is, tastefully and eloquently offered its take on the news with the blaring headline, "Megan Fox's New Film "Passion Play" Goes STD." Yea, the site is classy like that.

However, Image Entertainment, the company behind "Passion Play" had a change of heart and has decided to give the film a very limited release on May 6, 2011. Well, there's money they'll never see again. Audiences walked out of a previous test screening in Toronto, which doesn't bode well for the film.

Megan Fox's New Film "Passion Play" Goes STD


Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke in "Passion Play"

Fired "Transformers" actress, Megan Fox, saw her career plummet even more this week. Her new film "Passion Play" has gone STD - Straight to DVD. What did you think I meant by that STD crack. Get your minds out of the gutter. Seriously, who didn't see that flop coming. Fox is a beautiful girl, but terrible at picking good film scripts.

"Passion Play" marks her third dud in a row, preceded by "Jennifer's Body" and "Jonah Hex." Still, even with a number of flops under her designer belt since Michael Bay canned her, Fox is still doing much better than Lindsay Lohan, who they won't even let near a real film set. Even the cockroaches on film sets are being treated better than Lindsay.

Celluloid Film Review - Post Grad

Title: Post Grad

Year Of Release: 2010

Review Date: November 30, 2010

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 88 minutes

Box Office Gross: $6,405,245

Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

"Post Grad" starring Alexis Bledel was an abysmal flop at the box office. What was a good concept, with promise, descended into banality and boredom, once you got past the film's trailer and actually bought a ticket or rented the subsequent DVD. When I saw the trailer I thought "that looks good" but when I watched the movie I was like "Nooooo!"

Bledel stars as Ryden, a young university graduate, disturbed by her friends moving forward with their professional lives, while she can't find a job to reflect the hard work that went into her degree. She is hardworking, but somewhat flighty.

The acting in this film was not the problem. The script was and it let the film down. The movie was nonsensical and unnecessarily vulgar at certain points, while losing track of the theme of the film at other junctures (I've never seen a movie do that before). The idea for the film was poorly executed and dragged on too much, which says a lot considering it was only 88 minutes in duration.

Another BBC Exec Busted

Benjamin Wilkins

Another BBC executive has been arrested for sex crimes. BBC producer, Benjamin Wilkins, 37, used hidden cameras to record himself having sex with different women. He placed the hidden cameras in his bedroom and bathroom, recording all the footage on DVD, without telling them.

The mother of his children found the DVDs and turned him in. He was arrested and sentenced to 9 months in prison. He must also register as a sex offender and be remanded to the list for 10-years. At his trial, his victims spoke of their disgust, trauma and how violated they feel.

Using hidden cameras to film people in your home, their homes, public bathrooms (toilets) or any other situation privacy is to be expected is illegal in Western countries such as Britain and America. Psychologists label said voyeurism a form of sexual dysfunction and mental illness. People that engage in such conduct are considered sex offenders.

BBC man who secretly filmed himself having sex with lovers is jailed

04.03.10 - A BBC producer was jailed for eight months today for secretly filming himself having sex with five women.

Benjamin Wilkins, 37, hid a camera in the smoke alarm above his bed and another in his bathroom. He kept the recordings on DVDs, each marked with the name of the woman and replayed for his sexual gratification...

One former lover said she needed counselling after discovering what Wilkins had done and felt “violated, sick, dirty and stupid”...

Wilkins, of Brixton, pleaded guilty to 11 charges of voyeurism between January 2005 and July 2008. Sentencing at Inner London crown court, Judge Roger Chapple said he was punishing Wilkins “not for your sexual appetite or morals, but the trust you calculatedly betrayed”. He added: “It's a cruel, selfish and serious betrayal of the trust [the women] had placed in you.”

The court heard that Wilkins's partner and mother of his two-year-old son had found the DVDs in his loft...On his release from prison, Wilkins must sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years.
