I heard Hill trying to make the connection between Gage's claim that public opinion counted as evidence and the woeful proportion of his countrymen who deny evolution is true. Like pulling teeth.
Sounded similar to the poll-driven 'thinking' exemplified by those who believe the sun shines from McVicar's datehole. I'm sure gravity is a conspiracy too.

OK, I'm back in. Start choosing that malt.

I shudder to think what Google traffic that sentence will attract.

Didn't hear the whole RNZ interview but by the time I tuned in Hill was clearly not seeking to uncover why Gage believed as he did, and he had become an antagonistic interviewee. Not sure if that's how things started.
I was hoping for questions uncovering the deep sense of betrayal at being lied to by their government that must motivate at least some of the Truthers. That might have encouraged some of the compassion that Giovanni writes so eloquently was missing at Te Papa. Or not.

Peter, the proposed arrangements here as far as I know were for the music industry copyright bodies like RIANZ to monitor and complain and for the ISPs to respond to claims of infringement. The US model, in other words, as ACTA will push on us. Not sure about France or others, but all part of the same campaign like s92 was/is.
I guess the film industry would also be expected to invest in monitoring filesharing, torrents, etc. The technical difficulties of that mean a high error rate in accusations - details in the earlier copywrong threads.
Wishing I were on Italian time.
