My digital music is all backed up on several devices as well as the provider's cloud.
My e-books are stripped of all DRM, converted and backed up on several hard drives and on my Ubuntu One account.
I share music and e-books with my friends and family because that is what culture is all about.
No more are schools/universities a haven of knowledge gathering and sharing or free discussion on all topics be they good, bad or ugly.
Schools and universities are now factories churning out mindless robots who are devoid of their own personality or the ability to think and speak their minds.
It's a pity this government has begun selling off chunks of the NHS to American private health care companies. The best part? Mainstream media outlets like the BBC are silent on the issue.
Yeah, because no one makes their own choices in life.
I am so sick of our scapegoating society.
Immigrants and unemployed blamed for government deficits - bullshit.
Violent video games blamed for real world violence - double bullshit.
Current governments blaming previous governments for the 'problems they left behind' - infinity bullshit.
It is time for politicians, corporations and the general public to step up and take responsibility for their own failings.

I saw this earlier today. It's a bit shite because it is common practice to rent your property out like a B&B here in the UK.
My cousin had a property which he used to rent to holiday makers at times of festivals. It is a good way for people to make a few extra quid.
Also, if people are determined or not this would be next to impossible to enforce.

Pfft. I bought every song/album I have. I bought every e-book I have. I will enjoy them however I please.
Re:
"Copyright law is not only concerned about infringement."
Yes, it is concerned with reducing the rights on consumers to enjoy what they buy in any way they see fit.
I pay for the damn thing so I will bloody well enjoy it and back it up multiple times.

I love Nutella too, especially on that very British snack, crumpets.

World Nutella Day sounds like a fantastic way to promote Nutella. Why on earth would they want to shut that down?
Perhaps they were jealous that they didn't think of it.

Lifestyle illnesses are easily preventable. Do you know what that means? Your prattling on about gunshot wounds and self diagnosis is meaningless.
