British Video Recordings Act 1984 Invalid 340
chrb writes "BBC News is reporting that the British Video Recordings Act 1984 is invalid due to a 25 year old legal blunder. The Thatcher government of the day failed to officially "notify" the European Commission about the law, and hence it no longer stands as a legal Act. There will now be a period of around three months before the Act can be passed again, during which time it will be entirely legal to sell any video content without age-rated certifications."

Personally I use http://identi.ca/
It's based on laconica, is free software and is federated. eg. http://army.twit.tv/
I'm at http://identi.ca/tdobson and this downtime is not causing me any problems!
