POPSVirgin Media is the Law Another BBC post, I do read other sites, but I figured this I should share. Virgin plan to send letters to those people it feels are downloading and sharing music, working in conjunction with the BPI. Ok, so I know there is the whole legal issue here, but the context of the article is more related to TV shows, and I must admit, the guy has a point, we've all done it at some point I'm sure, whether it's downloading, or streaming from site like youtube. For instance, right now I'm watching music videos for Poets of the Fall on youtube, totally illegal, but the easiest way to see them. At the moment I'm using the 20Mb service from Virgin, and although it suits my needs (I have a housemate who uses it lots, I play the xbox online lots, and I host an FTP server for my dad to backup his files every night, so bandwidth usage is hgh) I may consider changing if this is the shape of things to come.

POPS"Hollywood Writers Strike: A Chance for Millions Online to Bloom"
This morning as I watched the morning news and learned that the strike will take place, I thought about this as an opportunity for online content producers. So it was great to see that Duncan Riley and the team at TechCrunch were already busy writing a post on exactly that story. As a media junkie, I like my rounded mix of traditional and non traditional channels but this strike just may (at least for now), encourage me to completely rely on online media for my daily dose of news, commentary and entertainment. For online content providers, this lucky break gives them an opportunity to serve up fresh content while major networks are forced to turn out reruns. This experience will illustrate how timely and nimble these new producers are. In any event, I do wish the best for the talented men and women who turn out my favorite content for the networks. How much do you follow traditional vs. online media and in wake of the strike, do you think your own media habits will change
