Sorry I missed putting in the link

Incidentally, if anyone's interested this is a part of what Rob does.
Nice approach, Rob. I am typing this listening to "Thinking of you" by mulchzoid.
Kind off a chill pill.

A propos not much, I just paid 18 bucks for a big screen showing of James Bond (thank God for a semi-decent editor - are you listening Mr. Jackson?).
Anyhoo, does that give me the some moral standing to spend the evening watching youtube?
Just asking.

Danielle - brilliant - in that case all we need to do is ask you to make us all copies - only for fair use of course.
And to think I scoffed at Judith Tizard when she mentioned this as an option for people who wish to back up their CDs and DVDs.

@russell, @danielle and @giovanni
you are now not only conspiring to theft, according to the good folks at MED creating the ACTA agreement you are in the same bucket as terrorists, arms dealers and drug smugglers.
Do you feel well represented by our government officials or what?

No, my family's scots. In joke...

Good article Patrick, thanks for writing it.
re piracy and its cost to the industry you say Prove it. I say disprove it.
Well, no. The RIAA and their buddies are placing new costs and obligations across the board. To justify this cost and develop good economic policy and legislation we really do need accurate data. That has never been forthcoming from that industry. Without it we really should be able to say "get stuffed".
Regarding Islander, I have a lot of sympathy for her position but I agree that what most artists require is education not new legislation.
Islander wants her characters which she created left alone.
fuck the copyright angle of it for a second and how you can do what you want after 50 or 70 years.Sadly, if that is her desire, the answer is not to publish. Every time I read a work to myself or an audience I interpret the characters in ways that probably have nothing to do with what the author had in mind. I am told my fake Scots accent is rubbish, for example, but I always use it for really evil characters.

You messed about, I caught you out!
Oh. I have spent most of my life thinking it was
"you're mystified, I caught you out"
bugger.

I was ten minutes into a talk in the USA last year and beginning to notice an unusually shocked looking audience.
No, it's nothing personal. I'm from New Zealand, we all swear like that.
...were nearly my exact words, everyone relaxed after that, it was fun.

Losing track of the places I've missed you David.
The Lake District is one of the few reasons I will keep returning to the UK. I think it's beauty is astounding, but like a good wine it probably can't be appreciated in a quick sip like stroll around Coniston.
