ItsIllak writes "The BBC are reporting that Paypal are the latest company to abandon Wikileaks. The list now includes their DNS providers (EveryDNS) and their hosts (Amazon). Paypal's move is unlikely to result in many more people boycotting the company as most knowledgeable on-line users will have been refusing to use them for years for a wide variety of abusive practices!"

Copyright sanity in the UK

Submitted by ItsIllak on Sunday October 29 2006, @04:01AM

ItsIllak writes "The BBC is reporting on a UK government commissioned report that includes such sane comments as "...it is not the music industry's job to decide what rights consumers have. That is the job of government.". The report also suggests that copyright terms should not be extended beyond 50 years and that users should have the right to copy their own media for personal use."
