Paul Dx

Not quite equal treatment

"Those exempt from the new rule include...; and staff with niche skills sets or "significant institutional knowledge."

Chain of evidence in the cloud

I can see a lawyer trying to get a video thrown out of court claiming that there is doubt that it could have been tampered with since the police do not have full control of the cloud storage and/or hacking.

EU creative collection agencies want YouTube et al to pay their wages

Paul Dx
WTF?

Organised crime is in the wrong business

"Under its proposals, authors would be banned from accepting a one-time fee in contracts with producers ..."

What gives these people the right to tell authors that they have to sign up to their system.

If I wrote a book it's up to ME to decide whether to take a one-off payment or an annual dripfeed (less the collection agency expenses).

Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from being in the Army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment. Morale totally destroyed... by pooh-pooh!
