Slightly more seriously, Paul McCartney never ceases to amaze me. All that shit with all that genius also.
-
with a series of pretty fine solo records which nobody else of his generation
Of course. Who could forget this...
Wonderful.

Talking about Paul, he just lurvved pirate radio and encourages a young reporter to set up something similar.

Good on him, I say.

Good Job and, she will surely do a far better job than Moore managed at the WTO.
I heard her speak to a small audience a couple of weeks ago. What struck me, other then her quiet understated mood, was just how thoughtful a person she is. As far as context and history goes she has it all.

but it was the overwhelming cultural event of 1967, and was regarded as a whole unit ...almost as a 40 minute single.
That was certainly the intention, at the start. Then Paul slipped in "When I'm 64" and it all went to pot. Well, not really, still one of the greatest albums, but what the hell was he thinking!

I haven't read the court memo submitted by the US Government. However, TFA says:
The government said the damages range of $750 to $150,000 per violation of the Copyright Act was warranted.
This range of fines might well be appropriate. It really depends on the nature of the infringement. The headline figure, however, is presented in a misleading way.

Don, had you continued you might have felt a little less irritated (and seen past your own blinkers?)
:-) Yes, I did in the end. But that first sentence...And what Russell just said.

Regarding the APRA CC document. I got to the first sentence:
Surely, no-one in the world has felt the impact of the internet more than songwriters
and stopped reading. As an indication of how self indulgent and blinkered their approach has been one need go no further.

The S92A repeal is good. But there is something about these "wins" that feels very unnecessary.
We had a similar long, drawn out battle with Microsoft last year. Explaining over and over again, in excruciating detail, why something is obviously bloody wrong is just an annoying and tedious distraction from trying get on with more positive things (which are threatened by the former issues).
Still, congratulations to all that got involved in this for your success. I do hope it encourages people to take a bigger part in and notice of political processes of this country.

But you have to get down into the comments to appreciate the true level of paranoia at play: "The plans are in motion to remove this man and his administration as well as the evil virus infecting Congress," declares one revolutionary. "Is it just me or does anyone else see the clammy, self-serving hand of Freemasonry in all of this mess?" mutters another.
This is not paranoia, it is a deliberate wall orchestrated tactic by the right which has been going on since the first Gingrich 'revolution'. We heard them after Don Brash lost his one and only election. We can hear them in the UK, in Canada, and the USA.
The idea is to challenge and discredit *everything* your opponent does, 24*7 in the most outrageous and inflated terms. It puts people off thinking about actual problems and hopefully (for these folks) puts most people off politics full stop.
