The best copyright protection money can buy...
an interesting list of the US politicians who supported the SOPA bill, and how much they got in campaign donations from big media and other companies with a stake in its passing. -
Mega mage game implode...
Computerworld has a piece on the implications for unwary 'Cloud' users as well...
And who is to say that Google or Apple* might not 'go bad' or be perceived by some Hegemony to be a threat to their interests and also be 'legally restrained'...
Witness the reaction to Wikipedia being down for a day - and they only store public domain information !
I wonder if New Zealand's Police Cyber Crimes unit was also involved or if they were bypassed by the FBI?
Perhaps there is a case for any action like this to have Cyber Receivers or Administrators, to ensure the continuation of legal services while illegal actions are investigated - as having all eggs in one basket can have dire economic results for affected individuals and companies...Once again I wonder if this is part of the price for NZ's admission to the TPPA, jumping when the US copyright moguls crack the whip...
*Apple's new create your own iBooks app has a sting hidden in the fine print...

The wry toffs...
Failure seems the only option now for them
– and Parker & Marryatt – come 2013.I seriously doubt they'll last that long, it feels like the scene
is being set for a no confidence statutory takeover...
the question remains whether the duopoly of Parker
and Marryatt are complicit - they seem the kind of
folk who'd have an exit strategy - Parker
was talking about going to live in the south of France
(or some such) if he wasn't re-elected last time...
and Marryatt doesn't seem to much care where he is...
Dead horse or pumping irony...Felicity Price or her company CPR...
It is telling that Felicity Price resigned from her own company
(that her husband still runs mind you) to do this work 'independently'.
I guess it would be a bad look if the city was seen to need CPR
especially when we are pretty sure it is already brain dead...
Putting a motion to the floor...Again, turds can’t be polished.
Sir, I beg your indulgence on this matter

Coulrophobia…
…with so many opportunities being presented by these clowns…
Fact is they didn’t need to buy the World Buskers Festival
outright, they are the Buskers Festival, buckets of cash ‘n’ all!
Also what the story Sofie linked to earlier, doesn’t make clear, is that once again this statement was a joint action by Parker and Marryatt with no other consultation and Councillor Yani Johanson…… who chairs the council’s communications committee, said he was only informed of the review 20 minutes before a statement was sent to the media late yesterday afternoon.
more detail and comments here…

Capture: Cats Love Cameras, in reply to Lilith __,
Must've been a gallop 'ole?
Today in a fast-food establishment I was
offered Martyr’s Horse with my chips.Which makes me realise that Ta Martyr is an anagram of Marryatt...
...and leads me to my first wearable/edible art entry - Fashion Chips!
Your post was a catalyst - just to get it back on thread... -
Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Joe Wylie,
coning the barbarians...
...he from whose presence we draw light and life...
I think Frank Frazetta would be very happy with that very stylish riffing, and doesn't Parker look very Gollum these days? while Marryatt looks more Golem, guess that goes with the feet of clay...

Clowder sourcing...
That is, ‘peeing inside’
Naturally, how could she be a peeping tom?

Hard News: #BDOMemories, in reply to DexterX,
hooping (cough)…*
…you bounce your balls up and down
and then todd them into a basket…I’m unfamiliar with this todding of which you speak, several meanings jockey for comprehension in a sparse field…
perhaps it alludes to on your tod – a classic recognition of the fact that we enter, and leave, this world alone (twins notwithstanding).
or maybe it is to do with Time of Death after which we are corporeally wicker-ward bound…
of course a tod is bushy mass of foliage, which may conceal balls, and it would be apt to toss such a thing in a bushel basket (or even to conceal it beneath one)….
but for the more bush wah among us, thoughts may reel to rummy, hot, spicy toddies, chin chin…
while the ruggered may jink towards the crusading coach, Mr Blackadder!far be it from me to assume a slip in Dexter’s digital dexterity, nor to let any such thing get in the way of a toddle through the Punjab…
* or – I’m back, bored…
