Just a quick post to draw your attention to two excellent blog posts that Dan posted recently (in case you haven’t seen them already): Yesterday, he published a great opinion piece on the European Parliament’s motion to extend sound copyright even further into the future including a video of a speech given by Becky Hogge at these proceedings. This is definitely worth a read! He also finally released his mammut Sabayon 4 review which we hinted at in Episode 78 — this might be the most scathing review Dan has ever written. Well, for Dan standards, anyway. ;)
With this, I’ll leave you to enjoy your weekend. I myself will probably spend it checking out Jaunty and playing lots of Fallout 3. We will most likely record the next show on Monday evening (CET) — so if you want to catch it live, feel free to stop by.

Excellent read and very informative video.
Typical of the RIAA to be a one-size fits all imposer of solutions that wreck the recording industry…..
Although I can see merit for mechanisms whereby individuals are able to renew their own copyrights in their jurisdictions where appropriate.
But definitely NOT the approach taken by the RIAA.
Creative Commons is great alternative to all this malarkey of course. :)
Thanks for the kind words Fab, only just seen this. I didn’t think my review of Sabayon 4 was particularly scathing but apparently some other people did. Oh well :D
I said “scathing for Dan standards”. ;)
