Congratulations go out to our client, Actionhorse, on the success of Corcovada in Milan this weekend.

“Corcovada, a three-year-old filly by Captain Rio won a Gr. 3 event at San Siro on Sunday afternoon. She was purchased by www.actionhorse.ie, assisted by Edward Daly Bloodstock, in February for Janda Bloodstock.

This was the owner’s first venture into racehorse ownership and only the second start for the filly in their colours.

Action Horse was set up last August to provide an alternative outlet for yearlings due to the expected problems in the middle to lower sectors of the market.

The company currently has a pilot project in operation with Janda Bloodstock in Prague, with the first success gained at the Central European Sale at Paradubice Racecourse last October where they sold seven yearlings.

In February the company recruited Edward Daly to aid with higher-end purchases and hope to have further success this year.”

Everyone at clickstream wishes Matty Murtagh and his team at Actionhorse continued success in the future.

The country’s biggest ISP has begun sending letters to those identified as illegal file-sharers.

Ireland is the first nation to implement such a system. France is also planning to introduce a similar policy.

Educational campaign
 
eircom is Ireland’s largest internet service provider (ISP), accounting for around 40% of the market.

The Irish Recorded Music Association (Irma) has begun supplying eircom with “thousands of IP addresses”, from which the ISP will initially cross-reference about 50 per week to extract the physical address of identified net pirates.

Irma is employing net monitoring firm Dtecnet to trawl file-sharing sites and identify pirates.

It will look specifically for people who are sharing, rather than just downloading, content illegally.

Initially they will be sent a letter and a follow-up phone call from a new unit set up by Eircom to deal with the issue. They may also get a pop-up warning on their screen.

If they are identified a third time they will have their service withdrawn for a week and, if a fourth infringement occurs, will be cut off for a year.

“There is a strong educational element, it could be that customers have a security issue with their home wi-fi or they might not know what kids are doing online,” said eircom spokesman Paul Bradley.

The unit will also direct customers to legal alternatives.

“We are launching an online music service later this year,” he added.

Court action
 
After three months the effect of the campaign will be assessed and, if necessary, tougher measures including permanent disconnection could be introduced.

“We don’t expect many people to get to phase 3 and we are a long way from looking at suspensions,” said Dick Doyle, the director general of Irma.

The pilot scheme is the conclusion of a long-running dispute between eircom and Irma.

It took the ISP to court in January 2009, saying it was not doing enough to protect the intellectual property of its members.

These include EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner.

The High Court ruled in Irma’s favour and a challenge, issued by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, was also over-ruled earlier this year.

The relaunched myVet.ie site contains up-to-date veterinary staff profiles, full details of all veterinary services, Liam’s personal Twitter feed, the myVet.ie Blog and you can even see him in action on RTE’s The Afternoon Show.
