Italian Parliament mistakenly legalized MP3 P2P!

They passed a law that allows copying things in 'degraded' fashion as long as it's not for monetary gain. Guess what?! MP3 format is a lossy compression format, thus automatically degraded!

Gee, I wonder how many brains are going all *splodey* at the ??AA offices on Monday?

We just got back from seeing The Blairzilla Project

AKA Cloverfield. We quite liked it, though the shakeycam got kind of tiring. Lots of unanswered questions, looking forward to seeing if they continue it into a franchise.

Infinitely better than that stupid American Godzilla movie from a few years back.
