Well the Spectrial is over and the judge has retired to mull over the verdict.

Just say no to copyright

This is a great insight into the whole copyright scam.
From music to movies to software.
Imagine a world without copyright - International Herald Tribune
Joost Smiers

there is just no excuse for this ongoing exploitation of artists and the public.

Copyright is a legal invention that has outlived it's usefulness,
Time for us to let it go.

auto letter to smh

Car companies are not a special case.
No company is too big to fail.
We must learn from the farce that was British Leyland in 30 years ago and let commercial realities take their course.
Why is there billions of dollars to prop up foreign owned car manufacturers but the tragedy of the failure of the child care industry gets no comprehensive plan.
But maybe there is a plan post ABC learning.
I want the money spent on the education and care of our next generation rather than an industry that is in terminal decline.

Daniel
Thank you so much for your great work in helping us secure the house of our dreams. Sitting on the balcony of our house is truly satisfying.
We could not have achieved this without your hard work on our behalf.
Your knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and encouragement were the difference between sucess and failure in securing our new home.
Rest assured that I am reccommending you to all my friends and business associates.
What you have done Daniel is make the process of financing a home a logical straight forward enjoyable process.
We look forward to seeing you at our house warming party.

Kind Regards
