Crazy comic indoctrinates school-pupils on illegal file-sharing
I came across this absurd piece of overt propaganda designed to sway school pupils in favour of the court system in cases of music copyright violation– or illegal file-sharing if you prefer.
It’s a print comic (previewable entirely in pdf format) produced by the NSCS (National Center for State Courts), which centers around a college student [...]

Muxtape RIP? - Updated
Bad news for fans of Muxtape, the mp3 playlist sharing site. Since somepoint yesterday the site has been “unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America)”, who like to take issue with innovative music-sharing platforms. The irony is that according to a post on [...]

Firefox 3 Goes Live, Breaks Record- Worth the Hype?
Yesterday I was one of eight million people who downloaded Mozilla Firefox 3, a software release so hyped up you’d think that Steve Jobs had whipped it out of his pants.
