Given the attention of Governments to file sharing, it would appear that the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was obviously caused by you sharing a copy of Lily Allens “Fuck you very much”. We have Ministers flying all over the world to discuss how to criminalize 15 year old kids who can’t yet vote. These [...]
I often complain about Foxtel’s frequent repeats Tonight, at 10:20 on Showtime, was a rerun of IOUSA, a movie that gives the real story about the US financial deficit – and I'm not complaining.
