  • Island Life: There is no depression in…,

    Something, something, start to tingle, when you hear his happy jingle.

  • Island Life: There is no depression in…,

    Why shrink (fnaar!) from spelling it out? [...] I wouldn't feel troubled to read such things on a sign, and frankly, I think it would not hurt for modern business to grow a pair.

    A pair of what?

  • Hard News: The strange story arc,

    So we don't get the Oscars live (again). Ironically, the 6pm news included footage of actual Mumbai slum residents watching the broadcast live in their tiny hovel.

    For anyone upset at missing it today, check daytime TV2 listings for this, or possibly even next, weekend. It'll likely be there.

    I do wonder if the larger media companies had been willing to re-examine their business model earlier, and had not made legitimately purchased downloadable product so unattractive by tying it up with poorly implemented DRM, and restrictive conditions, then perhaps the current user might not have got into the convenience of pirated product, and wouldn't expect all that for free.

    Too true. It's now been 10 years (to the month, I think), since I discovered the wonders of Napster and I'd argue that, fundamentally, none of what's happened since was unforseeable then.

    Woo-hoo

    Wow. Colour me surprised.

    I am unsure how suggesting that Lucy is probably middle class is an "attack" since I am, by definition, a member of the middle class myself...

    Take "... attacked Lucy" as shorthand for "attacked Lucy's argument". Let's agree to call it "responded to... ", if "attacked" is too colourful. Nevertheless, the substance holds.

    Anyhow, thanks for contributing to the discussion.

    Some of the comment since my post has been reasonable; much has simply been ad hominem argument directed at me personally - no surprise there.

    David, your first comment here attacked Lucy for allegedly being "middle class", so maybe the high horse could use a rest, huh?

  • Hard News: Emma Hart is a werewolf,

    I'm assuming this protest is aimed at MPs. If so, I really have to wonder how many of them even know what a gravatar is, let alone regularly empty their cache.

  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    Thanks, Mark. Still having trouble with the precise differences. Could you, or anyone, spell it out for me?
