Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

Treating creative expression as criminal, argued Lessig, is "corrosive", because it raises children in an environment where breaking the law is normalised.
My 8 year old son now thinks if you spell "BluTak" "Blue Tak" you'll get arrested, following a parental discussion about the © and ™ symbols.

At the Republican election party thing, they have choirboys. Choirboys. I'm just gonna let that sit there.
And if they had had choirboys at the Democrats party thing?

OT now, but
Adrian Sherwood and Tackhead at the powerstation, one of my top three gigs ever.
reminds of my top two gigs ever. On-U Sound at the T&C; and 808 State, same place, Björk guesting. My bass-rattled guts have never forgotten.

BSG. I really recommend starting at the very beginning, honestly. I got it all from the local library. Two week loans per season box set means you have to cram a lot of viewing in, but it's actually better that way. No ads, good 40 min episode length, you don't lose track, the picture is way better than TV or torrents, and there's no downloading or burning or geekery involved.
The only downside is the local DVD release lagging original transmission. But it's cheap, choice and worth the wait.

iTunes plays the podcast anamorphic (320x240). The producers stretched Rickards to fit. Something they may have enjoyed doing.
