EU Rejects Three Strikes Law, Obama Wants To Stop BitTorrent Sites
The European Parliament has, for the fifth time this year, voted against the “three strikes” law, and this time it’s for good.

Warner Music Pushing Music Tax For Universities
Warner Music is pushing the concept of a “blanket license” for file sharing. Their objective is to get all ISPs to tax everyone’s Internet access, pool the money for the recording industry and then let people share files freely.
