Pirates Of The Valley
A very anti Gates film that shows Jobs in an equally bad light, Weather its M$ or Apple, nether comes off well in this old film. Showing the dark side of both Gates and Jobs It really just confirms all we knew but never deard to say.

Curse of the Golden Flower
I have just come home after watching Sony's "Curse of the Golden Flower". All I can say is I have never been so disappointed. The fact that there where only two people in the cinema should have said it all.
The film its self is fine, it is the way it is marked that is the problem, If i could have found the UK trailer for you I would have posted a link.
The UK Trailer basically sells the film as a war between an King and Queen of two different lands and the queen seams to have a tone of gold, or some magical way of making gold, or a flower that grows gold, any way she has a shit load of gold and he wants it and they go to war over it.
Instead you get a long drawn out love storey which just board me to death, any way if you where planning to see this film based on the UK trailer on TV then i would say think again.
The only good thing about seeing this film was the novelty value of being able to talk all the way thought it rather that sitting in silence.

Will The EU make you a Copy Criminal?
On April 24th, the European Parliament will vote on IPRED2, the Second Intellectual Property Enforcement Directive. With one stroke, they risk turning thousands of innocent EU citizens and businesses into copycriminals.If IPRED2 passes in its current form, "aiding, abetting, or inciting" copyright infringement "on a commercial scale" in the EU will become a crime.
The entertainment industry has made it clear that it sees sites like YouTube, P2P software, and even ISPs as "inciting" infringement. With IPRED2, the industry is pressuring governments in Europe to use taxpayers' money to enforce these prohibitive ideas of intellectual property. If IPRED2 were to become law, entertainment companies would even be able assist police in an official role as part of transnational "joint investigation teams."
Even though this represents a huge change in how intellectual property will be treated under the law, many terms in IPRED2 are left unclear or undefined -- including "commercial scale" and "incitement." Companies or individuals crossing these fuzzy lines can face permanent bans on doing business, as well as seizure of assets, criminal records, and fines of up to €100,000.
EFF Europe, together with other European activist groups, is working hard in Brussels to fix IPRED2. Send a message to the European Parliament, and receive up-to-date information, by visiting the copycrime website and signing our petition now!

‘Millions to rebel’ over ID cards
The government is predicting that some 15m people will revolt against Tony Blair’s controversial ID card scheme by refusing to produce the new cards or provide personal data on demand.
I read this little gem hidden away in the corner of my Sunday time's, almost as if they did not want any one to notice it, so I thought I would put it up here and find you a link to the web site.
Personally I don't think ID cards are worth it they wont stop a thing and will just make criminals of us all, we need a poll tax style revolt to put them in their place, and get the government to abandon this idea.

Commercial Centraal Beheer, Matroos krijgt Tatto
I have to say i love this add its getting old now, but i still like it.
TV Needs You!
Yay evil coprate over lords are trying to attack our rights to control the products we buy, they are trying to take over the TV again, (not that I really want a TV in this day and age its all crap or American, a 50" LCD computer monitor would be grate cos then I would not have to pay for TV Licence for no reason.)
Enforcing severe home recording and copying limitations. CPCM will allow content providers to apply copy restriction labels to broadcast streams. For example, a program could be marked as "Copy Never." In turn, your DVRs and others devices receiving the signal will have to obey and forbid copying even for home use. A content provider could opt to allow recording but still enforce a multitude of restrictions on copying to other devices. Imposing controls on where you watch a program. Even if you are given permission to move a program to your laptop or other portable devices, "geography controls" may kick in and stop playback once you leave home or a particular locale. These restrictions may be enforced using tamper-proof GPS receivers built in to your devices. CPCM can also be used to block sending video to yourself over your own home network or the Internet, among other things. Dictating how you get to share shows with your own family. CPCM can be used to examine, for instance, the frequency with which devices are connected to a personal network and determine whether your sharing is within an "Authorized Domain" Absurdly, DVB spent significant time arguing over what happens to a digital video in case of a divorce! Breaking compatibility with your devices. You may have already invested in new high definition displays and receivers that rely on component analog connections or unrestricted digital outputs, but CPCM will allow the studios to arbitrarily block these connections. In other words, individual copyright holders can turn your gadgets into oversized paperweights. CPCM- restricted media will also be able to carry blacklists and revoke compatibility with particular devices that don't enforce Hollywood's restrictions sufficiently.
Any way if you relay care you can read the whole thing over on the EFF web page, and then maybe you can write to your MP.
