It should be obvious that cell growth results in improved or renewed brain power. It would have been more interesting to know how to maximize cell growth while still indulging in everything that life has to offer; or perhaps the degree to which cell growth varies across different organ / muscle tissue in response to various lifestyle choices.

UK Think Tank Calls For Fair Use Of Your Own CDs 241

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday October 29, 2006 @11:15AM from the fair-use-i-think-it's-called dept.

jweatherley writes "The BBC reports that a UK think tank, the Institute for Public Policy Research, has called for the legalization of format shifting. In a report commissioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, they state that copyright laws are out of date, and that people should have a 'private right to copy' which would allow them to legally copy their own CDs and DVDs on to home computers, laptops and phones. The report goes on to say that: 'it is not the music industry's job to decide what rights consumers have. That is the job of government.' The report also argues that there is no evidence the current 50-year copyright term is insufficient. The UK music industry is campaigning to extend the copyright term in sound recordings to 95 years."
