  • Hard News: That's Entertainment,

    Back to the TVNZ downloading thing...

    Where are NZ on Air in all of this? Do they have a say in how NZ on Air funded programs are later used? Or do all subsequent rights revert to the broadcaster?

    If the former were the case, then NZ on Air might be a good place to apply pressure to make sure the download formats are more open. Surely it's in their interest to make sure that content they've funded is disseminated as widely as possible?

  • Hard News: Of course it's about the book,

    Even in his resignation speech he was defending the right of Hager to publish. Can any of you in your wildest dreams imagine Clark saying the same. Thought not. Dr Brash is a man of honour.

    Lucky our politics isn't quite as bad as Italy yet, where uomo d’onore means something quite different...

  • Hard News: Something up with Apple?,

    Isn't it funny though, that despite the uneven support offered here in NZ for the Mac by Renaissance (and I've experienced the highs and the lows of this) we still keep buying the damn things, eh?
