<description><![CDATA[Lime Wire has settled a copyright lawsuit brought against it by several music publishers.Yesterday's settlement puts to rest the copyright infringement suit filed in June against Lime Wire by more than 30 different music publishers, including the publishing arms of EMI Group, Sony, and Vivendi SA.The former file-sharing site and its founder Mark Gorton were sued last year by a bevy of music publishers and record companies over charges that the LimeWire service enabled its users to illegally download copyrighted songs. That suit followed a previous court ruling in a case involving the Recording Industry Association of America that found Lime Wire liable for copyright infringement. Lime Wire fought to stay alive but was eventually forced to shut down last year by the court.Details of the settlement weren't revealed, but both the company and Gorton were able to have all claims against them dismissed, according to Reuters. Commenting on the settlement, a spokesperson from the National Music Publishers Association issued the following statement sent to CNET:&quot;We are pleased that this litigation is over. The parties worked hard to achieve a settlement that is a good result for all involved.&quot;That still leaves open a separate suit filed in December against Lime Wire by 23 different record companies, including Arista, Atlantic, Capitol Records, Motown, Sony BMG, Virgin, and Warner Brothers. That suit is set to go court on May 2.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Former Microsoft corporate VP Carolyn Everson, who has reportedly left for Facebook.(Credit:Microsoft)After an eight-month stint at Microsoft, Carolyn Everson, who had served as the company's corporate vice president of global ad sales and strategy, has left the company for Facebook.AllThingsD, which was the first to report the news this evening, said Everson will take on the role of VP of global sales for Facebook, a spot that had been left back in late October by Mike Murphy. Microsoft and Facebook remain business partners, with Microsoft having taken a $240 million stake in the social-networking giant back in 2007. Employees have regularly gone back and forth between the two companies for jobs, though Everson represents one of the more high profile departures. Before her time at Microsoft, Everson was COO and executive VP of U.S. ad sales for MTV Networks. Before that, she served in a number of executive roles for Primedia. A Microsoft representative declined to comment on Everson's departure. Facebook, however, provided CNET with the following statement:&quot;Microsoft was one of our earliest partners and is still one of our most valued. We have a long and strong relationship that includes search ads on our site, a social layer on Bing search results, and a deep and popular integration withXbox. They are a leader when it comes to unlocking the power of social for their already popular products and services. We look forward to continuing to expand our relationship with them.&quot;Updated 6:15 p.m. PTwith responses from Microsoft and Facebook.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
