You're a college student, and you decide to go halfsies on a Netflix or Rhapsody subscription with a friend? Watch out, you may face a year in jail and thousands of dollars in fines.

Here's what we found today: **What happened in Silicon Valley?** President Obama woke up in San Francisco this morning after a meeting with a dozen Silicon Valley executives last night, including Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
