I’m proud to announce that Free Culture has just received a go-ahead from BU. I’ll be starting a teacher’s rights campaign to give teachers and researchers the right and the methods to grant open access to their lectures and materials. More details once things start rolling..
Anyway, I got a note from the ORG/EFF about the […]
TV-Links (now dead) is a site which links to sites like Google Video and YouTube, which host clips of TV shows. Today, the Gloucestershire County Council, in association with a group called the FACT, raided the site’s servers and arrested the 26 year old man from Cheltenham who ran the site.
A man is now in […]
Same shit, different asshole.
Honestly, I don’t even feel compelled to comment on this one because what he wants is just so absurd I don’t think it could actually pass, he hasn’t actually filed any paperwork yet, and TorrentFreak’s write-up says everything that needs to be said.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is trying to get his own amendment attached to the Higher Education Reauthorization Act. His amendment would require universities to do the following things:

I think he sort of missed the point of what I was saying, though, and I don’t like being accused of discrimination. It’s not […]
I’m back! The conference was cool, I’m glad I went. Here’s my wrap-up:
Left on Thursday. Pretty long journey, R5 to Philly, New Century Bus to NYC, Fung-Wah to Boston, MBTA to my hotel. The connections were fast and to be honest I was disappointed by the lack of explosions/chickens on the buses.
Conference began early the […]
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. Finals were intense and now I’m home and playing through the new Zelda game for the Wii (which is brilliant). I’ve got some ideas for projects to keep me busy during the summer, though, so look out for those. Anyway.
A few weeks ago I received an email from […]
Clicky for bigger.
Bring it on, AACS-LA.
Thanks to Boston’s Good Faith Tattoos!
Sorely,
Rich.
..Jesus, I’m such a nerd. We started playing DnD and didn’t have any dice, so I wrote the dX Online Dice Roller. That’s pretty much all I’m gonna say about it.
So apparently Norway is awesome for a new reason besides fjords and black metal! The Liberal Party there is now advocating legal filesharing for non-commerical […]
