Hi, 1st of I understand this is not 'developer' related directly 'unless' it was implemented...
Not 100% sure if this is coincidence however some of you may know New Zealand has some very draconian legislation coming into effect on 28 Feb namely Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act nicknamed Guilt Upon Accusation law. It's been posted onto Ars Technica and will no doubt arrive on our favourite sites too, they are asking for an Internet Blackout protest http://creativefreedom.org.nz/blackout.html http://creativefreedom.org.nz/s92.html As some of you will be aware The Convention of Modern Liberty takes place on the same day in the UK. http://www.modernliberty.net/ I wonder if this would be something My Society would support (as similar plans have already been mooted for the UK)? I accept My Society does not directly deal with this type of thing (copyright infringement et al) but after the recent success regarding the 'climbdown' over MP expenses it may be worth a blog post as a show of solidarity. What do people think? I personally would love to see My Society possibly do it on the 28th with an indication that we 'could' be next but that's my personal view.
