From ars technica: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is supposed to balance the rights of copyright holders and online authors, while protecting Internet service providers from getting caught in the crossfire. But Google’s policy for handling DMCA notices seems to leave bloggers with scant hope of getting improperly removed content restored. ….. ….. [...] Mike Arrington has a great write up on a lunch he had with un -named executive from a major record label which throws some light on why the music industry continues to look so clueless. According to this executive: The labels fully understand that recorded music, streamed or downloaded, is going to be free [...] I have added some Adsense links to the top of my left sidebar as a small experiment. Any proceeds raised will go to CARIS a local charity in Islington, London which runs a homeless nightshelter, amongst other things. Please let me know if this offends. Marksonland has post up entitled Twitter Ain’t Search. For the record I think that he misunderstands the purpose of Twitter search.

Unfortunately some of your recent contributions aren’t showing up on the site right now, but I hope that will be fixed shortly. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for messing around with what was an ok system. All I’ve [...] As you may have noticed I have been playing around with different comments systems over the last couple of weeks. I have just changed again from IntenseDebate to JS-Kit as Intense Debate was not working all that well. Having just installed it I’m not wild about the way JS-Kit appears on the site, but [...] Mark Carey of MT-Hacks has come up with a GreaseMonkey script that adds the results of a Twitter search to the top of your Google results page – and there has been a lot of chatter about it in the blogosphere.
