We're All Criminals Now
The UK has gone just as nuts as the US - copyright wise. In another few years there will be some wireless gizmo in your computer/cd-player that just signals the cops when you play some 'ilicit' music and then they either come over and get you, the house arrest ankle braclet that we'll all be wearing 'just in case' will suddenly activate, or they're mail you a citation and auto-deduct the huge fine from your bank account. Someone please email me when the revolution begins - I'm in.
If you want to find a little sanity to balance all the insanity above, check out this guy - read his writings and watch his presentations in the archives. If only he was on the Supreme Court.
