Sofie - so Chris is a great guy, salt of the Earth. I stand corrected.
But come on, that radio discussion was appalling. He might want to do what one occasionally does on PA. Apologise :-)

Simon, that's more depressing then. He does know better. That conversation with Russell was simply bizarre. His claim that all this recent fuss was Telecom's doing was another whopping mistake. Again, I suspect he knows this, but he also knows the NZ public like to hate Telecom, right?
Chris Hocquard, if those who invented and sustain the Internet were to take a similar attitude Amplify wouldn't exist.

'Faux' the new black.

Does know what he is talking about.
Well, his comments about it all being the fault of those drawing up codes of practice (the ISPs) seemed to suggest the opposite...in this case anyway.
He's not the only barrister in the debate and there are others who have reached a very different conclusion. He also displayed a distressing lack of insight into how the Internet might actually help artists. According to him the only way for musicians to survive in the modern era is through the application S92. This is demonstrably not the case.
Simon, just to clarify by proxies I was not meaning "anyone who disagrees with me". I had in mind APRA and the like.

entertainment lawyer Chris Hocquard
Simon, right. Thanks for the clarification. I stand by my comment though. In that interview he comes across as a bully and this is similar to the tone RIANZ and their supporters have taken. It had *nothing* to do with the fact he disagreed with me, or Russell.
-
Oh. And here we go again. This is the line that RIANZ are taking. The CoD is the problem not the law. Again, this guy Chris blamed the ISPs for not getting it right.
That is a bullshit argument and position and trying to change the ground game. repeat after me, the law is wrong.
-
to remark it's a bad idea to argue with barristers.
You think? I am 30 seconds into the interview and the guy has just told Russell to shut up. Is that what barristers do in court? He sounds like a complete tit and a bully. Which is how, the on the whole, RIANZ and their proxies come across.

Indeed, the Sensible Sentencing Trust’s David Garrett claims to have gone to the US,
In parliament yesterday the guy was saying 1 strike was enough. Somehow I found that less than reassuring.

Oooh. Nilsson thread. I don't think we've had one of those on PA.

I look like this.
Pineapple or coconut?
