☝ Links: Copyright Reform

Following the UK government’s announcement last week, I’ve posted a link collection related to copyright reform with commentary over on ComputerWorldUK today.

☞ Challenging Intrusion

  • EPIC (the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a US group) has challenged the US government over the new body scanners in use over there. The combination of scanners irradiating and exposing travellers, the abusive and humiliating alternatives and the lack of any humanity on the party of the authorities means this is a symbol that the American public may finally have had enough. Let’s hope – looks like the immoral murdering scum they think they are targeting think it’s a good enough development that they are increasing their activity so as to give the TSA extra reasons for removing more dignity and liberty from travellers unchallenged.
  • The CfP is open for the Free Java DevRoom at FOSDEM. Get some good quality submissions in there, space will be in great demand.
