The EUROPEAN COPYRIGHT DIRECTIVE, aka the evil EuroDMCA, has been postponed. Thanks to your three hundred or so comments on the UK Patent Office’s consultation document, the government has admitted that it’ll have to go back to the drawing board. They’ve postponed the law until March 2003 instead of the 2002 Christmas pressie we were all expecting.

I promise that this will be the last political post in a while but this is unequivocally good news. This means that I won’t automatically turn into a criminal for what I do as a part of my teaching until next March.

Unless we can prevent it.

Read up on the law. Talk about it to your friends. Send your e-mails and letters.

Fancy changing the world?

This is your chance.
