That loophole is now closed for speeding tickets - if the registered keeper can't say who was driving, then they still get slapped with at least the fine and, in this case, all 6 points. I've seen other articles where the fine and points were divided between potential drivers (in the case where they said "it was a long journey and we alternated, but can't say who was at the wheel at the time"). There's been quite a few cases of this nature getting thrown out.

I think the premise is that English Heritage own the site and issue tickets to folks to visit it, so they control the rights you gain on entering their property. As part of the T&C's (although these aren't visible on their website) it will no doubt state that you may not take pictures of the monument for commercial gain. I've not been, so don't have a copy of a ticket to verify this, though.

This is a widespread practice in museums and art galleries as it protects their cottage industry of selling prints.

I wonder whether they might exert the same claims on someone who took a picture from off their property with a long lens?

Update: El Reg reckon it's the third such conviction.

If The Daily Mail has done their research correctly (hahahahaha), it's the fourth time a prosecution has resulted in a conviction under this law (see final paragraphs)

There are about 1.2M active US troops at present, UK has under 200K. Ho hum. :)

Also, you can probably add Charles to the list of mad royalty and at least one of his siblings is a right tit. I agree with your post, though, someone needs to look after the long term interests of the country, rather than the short sighted approach that all politicians have (being "how can I line my own pockets as quickly as possible before I get the boot from the job").

Siemens might, but the suit is against Nokia-Siemens Networks, a different company formed as a JV between they two a while back (although I believe NSN has a small office somewhere, and has just bought Motorola Networks division, and so will soon have a large office in Chicago, amongst other places).

Very old, all that. H// has a chequered history:

Sued by Cisco for nicking their IOS software (settled out of court, but H// withdrew all routing gear and made software changes).
Sued by Motorola (last week) for passing on trade secrets (no idea how valid, but it appears to be a follow on from a case last year, also involving another company called Lemko)
Anecdotally, I've heard of their engineers opening up competitor equipment to take pics while onsite at a customer premises.
Internally, I know they have very strict data protection policies as it is commonplace for workers to leave the company with a pile of docs, walk into a position at a competing company and hand them over - basically no computers allowed out of the buildings, USB ports and CD/DVD writers disabled. Mobile phones have to be very basic - no cameras on them...

On the other hand, it's not just Huawei that does it - it seems to be the culture in China to behave this way.

A customer in this context is a network operator - like Verizon. There are a few biggies that Motorola has (Verizon - CDMA, CMCC - GSM, Zain - GSM) and there are lots of small ones. The small ones will spend a few mill on network equipment, the biggies will spend a few hundred mill

You mean the merged entity Alcatel-Lucent (although probably controlled by the french)

The gorilla at Longleat Safari Park has a big plasma/LCD screen with satellite and has to be actively discouraged from using it too much - he has the controller to use, too, I seem to recall.

Can't remember what we were told was his favourite show, though

And Pheidippides is not the reason. He is merely the reason for a long race that is 25m long. This is the reason for 26.22 miles, although it didn't stick until 1924
