    You'd be surprised to know that I agree with you. The only time I've used a torrent is to get a film that was released under Creative Commons (and then I blew my data cap by leaving the client on overnight - I didn't think my connection could serve 10G in one night but there you go...). I do prefer to get my content legally. We just disagree on what should be legal ;-)

    Yes, bypassing zones is legal in NZ

    Re Tau Henare
    I could have sworn when I heard his Weepu comment on Morning Report that I heard Sean Plunket say something like "Except he has talent" but i can't find it on the RNZ website.

    I think the RWC is counting entire populations in the countries where less than 1% might actually have an interest.

    Cough...

    But I've only got a 10 GB limit for the month!

    Graeme, are you saying that the DVD set has 30 minutes from each episode that was cut from the TV showing, or vice versa?

    Actually, I think Hide currently holds the record on OIA requests, so just having him in Government will reduce the public sector workload by about 20%

    Y'know, I enjoyed Craig a lot more before the election, when he was looking at both sides of questions and actually reasoning out a position instead of leaping on whatever high horse happens to be ambling past.

    Bad campaign? What election were you watching?

    It didn't seem to be the one where ACT improved 135% on 2005.

    The one where ACT still polled lower than NZ First and, without tactical voting by National in Epsom, would be cast alongside NZF on the dustheap of history. And, trust me, that is the nicest thing I can say about ACT

    I don't fully agree, but I'm not going to argue with you on this, as I don't know her personally.

    Thanks for that link. I'm afraid that Ms Tizard is reinventing history a bit, as the theyworkforyou.co.nz points out, as she continues to repeat the theme that the complainers were a year too late:

    There were 125 public submissions on the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Bill when it was before select committee.

    As has been pointed out elsewhere, several submissions were against the termination of a person’s Internet connection based on the accusation that they might have infringed copyright.

    Any vague respect engendered by the first half of her interview on bFM (which I thought was realistic and honest) was dispelled by the statements later in the piece.
