So Franz Ferdinand (And presumably Domino records) have been seduced by the Boba Fett of the EBs, The web sheriff. Even though Franz Ferdinand were pro pirates or pro personal use themselves.
Indeed, it might have been a leak, but leaks are becoming a form of protest in the industry when someone in the label gets cheesed off at his working conditions. Of course it could be something else (It could be a trap!), but that's what may have happened in the

Another development studio has decleared they have joined what i call the EB (Economic Bully) movement, and this time, its Kudos, Creator of Spooks (AKA MI5). They used the distortion machine to try and make people think that sharing files is equivlement to using another house's electricty. Now how can i put this in a constructive way without resorting to the usual facts.
Lets begin with the fact that Spooks has now gone downhill in the past two seasons. MIHigh while passable feels iffy, your TeenYoung Adult offer (Spooks Code 9) didn't succeed. And you don't really have anything else to offer. But rather than admitting you have not done wel

Its all too easy to say it
Because it feels hip
Its all too easy to accuse it
Because it feels big
Its all too easy to hide the real reason
Because it feels clever
But in actual fact,
Accusing people of being pirates, is neither big or clever.
Especially when the actual facts speak for themselves.
I really don't want to talk about this, since i try to be reasonable when it comes to dealing with trolls. I rant on them as a group and not as a individual, and elsewhere I'll just flag their comments and if they persist block them. But recent events has also made me annoyed. As i have said recently, i will try to be as constructive as possible, so after letting myself think about both events, I've decided a spur of the moment rant about both.
Now the astroturfer that popped up on my blog entry (See the comments under the entry Three rants and a slice of humble pie please, its hidden since i flagged his comment) would not have b

The shows section of Youtube seems to be starting to be rolled out everywhere outside the USA. It was recently announced as a "what's new" here.
Keep in mind, its only a directory of partner's feature contributions to the site. (So if you for instance, choose a episode of Moon phase, you will go to the video uploaded by Funimation on the main site).

Just thought i might let people know that The ORG recently commissioned a poll on MEPs about their policy on Internet related issues. It involved four yes or no questions and you can read about it here:

Keep in mind, some MEPs may be withholding some of their hand to avoid their rivals from getting the upper hand via donations. But with a lack of trust between the people and the state, this is questionable.

NOT SYNDICATED
I have just recently considered doing a follow up to my now obsolete "Where the blame goes" rant (Available at http://dynamoace.deviantart.com/art/OLD-Where-the-blame-goes-on-83290012), since there has been many changes to my opinions.
I was wondering, would you prefer:
1. A remake of the old rant
2. A follow up chapter to the rant detailing what i think about the points mentioned.
3. Small rants on the points mentioned (If so which ones)
4. Just bury it and move on.
Let me know as soon as you can, and i will take it on board.
Thank you very much for the 4 for 'Angel Of The Morning', 'Hecate', 'Aradia' and 'Witchery', which are truly appreciated. Sorry my thank you is so late but definitely catching up a little more each day.
