10 reasons to cheer our teenagers 11:55am on 23 Jul 2008 It's fantastic to hear someone singing the praises of teenagers. They're only human, like the rest of us, and it can't be easy to ignore all the derogatory coverage that they've been getting in the press and from government recently. Thanks for bucking the trend and reminding us that they're not all bad.
Sky and Universal v iTunes and file-sharers 11:34am on 23 Jul 2008 File-sharing is legal. Some people breach copyright by exchanging files that they don't have permission to share but that doesn't make file-sharing per se illegal.

There are already several good services that allow you to stream music (last.fm, pandora, calabash, etc.), this seems simply to be a new competitor in the market.

And their idea of competitive seems a little warped - why limit customers to a fixed number of downloads when they can already make unlimited purchases through online stores? Assuming, of course, that Universal *wants* to sell their music and have made it available through other online outlets as well...
