Companies Join Forces to Form Anti-Piracy Coalition
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) today, several major media and technology companies are joining forces to form the Masters of Evil! Wait... sorry, they are just joining forces to form an anti-piracy ring, no plots for world domination... yet.

This coalition of super companies will be working together on copyright-related issues, including video piracy and the technology needed to stop it.

Coming together to form this super team of anti-pirates are: CBS, Dailymotion, Microsoft, NBC Universal, Fox and MySpace units of News Corp, Viacom and Disney. The coalition is due to launch Friday. Google is still in talks to join the anti-piracy ring.
