nice one.

To cap off a good week for National, they have just been successfully sued by Eminem for NZ600K over copyright breach in a campaign add from 2014.

Way to get down with the kids. Steal the song of a rapper, who turned 42 in 2014. Was he the youngest performing artist they had heard of?

Shit-hot. Is science about to make a comeback in the primary sector after 8 years of free market sodomy by vested cowboys?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that National were sued under the very onerous copyright law they introduced. Would be a delicious morsel of irony if that is indeed the case.

That would be funny. I would be interested to hear Lizard's opinion on this case, as I think it's pretty much in and around his area of legal expertise. It sort of seems to me that if you purchase music from a third-party supplier that specialises in selling music, then you'd have a reasonable right to expect that it wouldn't infringe copyright. I guess this decision indicates that the law says the end-user is ultimately responsible for compliance.

A bit of a taste of life under TPP?

If anyone chances upon Don Brash in the street, could you please kick him in the nuts for me? Ta.

At the risk of sounding redundant, Fuck Don Brash.
