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

national / eu / feature Tuesday September 22, 2009 15:51 by Joe Higgins MEP
Many issues have come up so far in the Lisbon debate, some very relevant, some less so. The key issues the Socialist Party have been raising so far are workers rights, public services and miltarisation. Elsewhere Jow Higgins has looked at the issue of workers' rights (http://www.joehiggins.eu/510) and public services (http://www.joehiggins.eu/489). Here, he goes into precisely how Lisbon boosts the armaments industry and is another step towards a militarised EU. read full story / add a comment
international / crime and justice / news report Tuesday September 22, 2009 04:04 by iosaf
Back when Michael Jackson died a military-industrial-corporate coup d'etat began in Honduras with collusion of a section of the Pentagon, pharmaceutical corporations, Honduran judges & transnational lobbies. The coup resulted in the exile of the legitimate Honduran president, flown out of his state in his pyjamas to Costa Rica, whose leader would later try without success to broker a 7 point agreement. The usurpation of Zelaya took on greater significance as geopolitical balances changed in the Latin American hemisphere. President Zelaya has now returned to the capital of his country with 4 others & is in residence in the Brazilian diplomatic compound as an honoured guest afforded not only ferrero rocher whenever he wants but also the more meaningful political and military protection of Latin America's pre-eminent power, Brazil. Hugo Chavez has described how Zelaya and his team had passed through Honduras, incognito, braving their lives to take up their present position in Brazil's legation. read full story / add a comment

international / miscellaneous / news report Monday September 21, 2009 10:45 by hell correspondent
In his first political foray since the 2007 general election, Mr Michael McEvil, former attorney general and the man who is credited with destroying the Progressive Democrat Party, entered the debate on the Lisbon Treaty by launching a new organisation- Evil People for Lisbon. In a statement, Mr McHorrible, who had returned from hell for the occasion, claimed that the debate on Lisbon needed to be nuanced and not a “phony Punch and Judy show” between the two sides. A section of the population is being excluded from the debate, he said, the evil people. "There needs to be a space for truly evil people, the racists, fascists, and those who have always rejected workers' rights, peace, and disarmament as genuine goals." read full story / add a comment
