- Copyright body may slap levy on digital music playersToronto Star, Canada - That 20-gigabyte MP3 player going under the Christmas tree this season could soon cost 20 per cent more if the Copyright Board approves a proposed levy tomorrow on the sale of digital music devices. It could also mean new levies on recordable DVDs, removable flash memory and micro hard drives, as well as increased tariff rates on blank cassettes and recordable CDs, assuming a music-industry group called the Canadian Private Copying Collective, or CPCC, gets its way. |

- McAuliffe: "Today's Supreme Court decision validates that preparation. This year, the DNC is expected to have its most successful year of federal fundraising year and we have increased our fund raising via the Internet by 600 percent. We have also spent the past three years modernizing the Party, erasing $18 million in debt and going from 400,000 small donors to 1 million and from 70,000 email addresses to 2 million." |

I really like all the K&C books, I'm not a huger super hero fan. This is a really funny series and any fan of scifi will see elements of all sorts of different space shows and books in these. |

- Joseph Jaffe is detecting a gradual, but pervasive, return of the fin de siecle arrogance witnessed just before the last great online bubble popping. Which isn't entirely a bad thing, as he points out it can also lead to confidence, passion and even the willingess to risk some innovation.

- (As the nonprofit I work for has been formulating its strategic plan, I've been reflecting on what role communications should play a part. Here I make the case that "the Centers" communication strategy be auxiliary to our now-forming strategic plan.) Im reminded of the work of philosopher-theologian Henry Nelson Wieman, who describes six types of communication. His descriptions might be useful in helping us discern what we mean when we say that we wish to focus more on the Centers communication. Deceptive communications. |
