Can There Be A Fair File Sharing Trial When The Language Is All Biased?
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, we've discussed the various problems with the language choices
| by the entertainment industry in discussing file sharing. Terms
| like "intellectual property," "piracy," "theft" and even its descriptions
| of "losses" are all misleading and biased. This, in fact, is a key point in
| William Patry's upcoming book -- where he looks at how the language has been
| co-opted by the industry to pre-bias the casual observer (including
| journalists and politicians).

Yes, book sequels should be allowed, transformative or not!

| The problem of unauthorized book sequels have been with us since the
| beginning of copyright. Charles McGrath brings us up to date on it here. By
| his account, if the originator doesn't object, the sequel writer can get away
| with it.

Kingsnorth report reveals shocking police campaign of intimidation against
protesters
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier today Lib Dem MP David Howarth held a meeting in Westminster to
| present a highly disturbing and potentially explosive report on the way
| police in the UK are criminalising legitimate protest. The report, produced
| by the Climate Camp's legal support team and entitled Policing of the
| Kingsnorth Climate Camp: Preventing Disorder or Preventing Protest?, is
| devastating for the police.
