Ever recorded a television show or a movie so you can watch
2007-01-16 05:57:01 Ever recorded a television show or a movie so you can watch it later? Or ripped a CD so you can listen to it on your MP3 player? With changes to Canada's copyright laws expected as early as next month, these mundane 21st century activities could theoretically be open to prosecution ? unless the Conservative government steps in with expanded "fair use" or "fair dealing" protections for consumers. Close observers of the file say all signs point to a new regime that will improve safeguards for major music, film and media companies and artists for unpaid use of their material, but neglect to make exemptions for personal use of copyrighted content. 'About as market interventionist as you can get' "We're dealing with an industry minister [Maxime Bernier] that's tried to extricate government from the telecom area with a very strong deregulatory focus," said Michael Geist, the Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa. "Yet the kind of copyright r... More About: Television , Movie , Watch , Show , Tele

2007-01-16 05:57:01 Submitted by Buzz Flash on Fri, 01/05/2007 - 11:33am. Alert s A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) - the think-tank at the heart of the Neocon movement - held a presentation Friday on what should be the foundation of the new Iraq strategy President Bush is expected to unveil next week. Sens. Joe Lieberman and John McCain will also speak at the event on the topic. Basically, this is the whole "surge" thing we've been hearing about. The only problem is that it is not a surge at all; it's a lengthy boost. Frederick Kagan and Jack Keane, the authors of the AEI report, actually wrote an article last month explaining that "any troop increase must be large and lasting" (a short surge, of course, would "play into the enemy's hands" and "virtually ensure defeat"). Looking deeper into the study, the Kagan/Keane strategy is not a plan to move forward so we can leave, it's a plan to start all over again from scratch. They actually advocate abandoning political develo... More About: Submit , Lash

2007-01-16 05:57:01 stanfordalumni.org A court in Milan has begun a hearing to decide whether to indict 25 alleged CIA agents and several Italians accused of kidnapping a Muslim cleric in 2003. Osama Mustafa Hassan, or Abu Omar, was abducted from the streets of Milan and says he was then tortured in Egypt. The case was an example of the US policy of rendition - transferring terror suspects abroad for questioning. If the court decides to proceed with a trial it would be the first linked to the controversial practice. Prosecutors say the cleric, who was suspected of links to terrorism, was plucked from a Milan street, driven to the Aviano military base and flown, via Germany, to his native Egypt, where he was secretly interrogated for six months. read more More About: Ford , Hear , Ring , Stanford

2007-01-16 05:57:01 The interview was conducted in Afghanistan nearly three weeks ago Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar says his fighters helped al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden escape a US offensive five years ago. Bin Laden was moved to "a safe place" when the US assault on the Tora Bora mountains began in late 2001, the Hezb-e-Islami leader told Pakistani TV. Mr Hekmatyar said Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second-in-command, was also taken to the undisclosed location. The rare interview was broadcast on Thursday by the private Geo TV network. The authenticity of the interview could not be independently confirmed, but interviewer Saleem Safi told Reuters news agency it was conducted in Afghanistan nearly three weeks ago. read more More About: Inter , Interview , Near , View

When Martin Luther
More articles from this author:2007-01-16 05:57:01 1984 Comic Orwellian Big Brother Post ers When Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War, he angered those who couldn’t see the connection between segregation in the American South and burning villages in Southeast Asia. King responded sagely (from “Beyond Vietnam"): There is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in Vietnam and the struggle I, and others, have been waging in America. A few years ago there was a shining moment in that struggle. It seemed as if there was a real promise of hope for the poor—both black and white—through the poverty program. There were experiments, hopes, new beginnings. Then came the buildup in Vietnam and I watched the program broken and eviscerated as if it were some idle political plaything of a society gone mad on war, and I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw...
