It Felt Like a Kiss - trail 06:46am on 20 Jun 2009 Copyright/DRM/Region control/geolocking...so 20th century :)

C'mon Aunty, you know you can do better than this. You're the best broadcaster on the planet so don't hide your goodies under your skirts.
It Felt Like a Kiss - trail 02:11am on 20 Jun 2009 I'd like to second KOTJMF's comments. It gets really annoying to keep seeing "not available in your area/region/former colony" so many times.
Wikipedia is censored 12:14pm on 08 Dec 2008 Rory,

Maybe it's worth checking if the Radio One record library has a copy of this album. We wouldn't want Auntie caught in possession of illegal images, eh? Just imagine the BBC, Amazon, Google and all the other services that host this image getting busted.

IWF = WTF
Losing to the Brits 1:27pm on 19 Aug 2008 @ aledhughes

Nick Bryant is quite right in his use of an "old-fashioned Anglo-Australian stoush" because Australia is a very Celtic country. Tim Costello, the brother of the former Aus treasurer, was on TV a while back and claimed that 50% of Aussies are either of Irish descent or recent Irish immigrants.
Losing to the Brits 1:03pm on 19 Aug 2008 The argument about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland competing as separate teams in the Olympics is moot - the UK is a nation state and that's it.

Australia, on the other hand, is a commonwealth of states and territories most of which have their own parliaments. How about Aus competes on that basis in future? No? I thought not.

If you'd taken the 60 seconds that I did to check the Nobel Prize figures you'd have realised that while Australia may have won nine such prizes the UK has in fact won 114. On a per-capita basis that's, er, a very poor silver medal for you. Oh, by the way, of your nine, one was born in the UK and several of the others were educated in the UK.
No defence for 'stealing' music 3:47pm on 03 Jul 2008 @Susan King

I have a room here at home that is lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves. Every one is filled with LPs, books, VHS tapes, DVDs, cassettes and CDs collected over the last 23 years. All of them are bought and paid for but today I'm going to download an MP3 just to annoy you.
