A few of us may be waking up with a headache this morning but nothing like the one encountered yesterday by Google lawyers who thought that piracy by any other name would be tolerated Vis the GBS (The Google Book Settlement). It's a fine idea to digitise every single book ever published if that is what you claim you were instigated for; but to get up the noses of the writers and libraries whose commitment to truth, to their art and to their poverties in the process of digitising 7,000,000 books- of which 5,000,000 were in copyright its another tale altogether. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tec....html read full story / add a comment

The Irish Times reports the death of former owner, Major McDowell, September 10, 2009: Major Thomas Bleakley McDowell Former Irish Times chairman dies, aged 86 Widely known as “The Major”, he kept clear of involvement in editorial content, insisting that that was the domain of the editor. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/0910/1....html The Irish Times changed during the Major era, from a newspaper reflecting the protected but significant interests of a distinct Protestant business class to one that reflected the moderninsing interests of Irish capitalism.

Woop! It's that time of the month again, and we've got a new schedule for September which you can read about below. We've got some treats in store this month, our Independent Media block has been given over to the work of Joanne Richardson and we've a new mould breaking drama called The House. Richardson films look at the lives of Romanian women, globalisation and the difficulties facing political activists in a post-communist Eastern Europe. We've also significantly revised the content in our Gimme the Camera block, packing it with the work of more up and coming film makers. If there's anything we're most proud of this month, it's bringing the drama series The House to the air. There's a download of the schedule and an online version available.
