"Alan Ellis is not guilty of Conspiracy to Defraud the music industry. He walked out of Teesside Crown Court a free man today, his name cleared." Jolly good, but this is just the countdown to the criminalisation of sites like OiNK in the UK.

"Few people seem to have noticed, but the law of blasphemy was repealed yesterday..."

Yikes.

Patent bullshit, in both senses. Missives despatched to my EU representatives. Probably pointless, but worth a shot.
