I saw a lady this morning eating her morning donuts on the subway out of a bag branded Twin Donuts: World's Best Coffee. I wondered where to find it. I must pop along some time. There don't seem to be the same laws here about superlative advertising, and comparative advertising is commonplace - Subway's big deal at the moment is comparing the grams of fat with McDonald's.
As everyone will be aware, there's a whole hoo-ha (sp.) going on at the moment about downloading and sharing music. Yesterday there was an article on the BBC's site about this Sunday's UK music chart including download statistics, which I see as a good thing. However, I've often wondered what the legal situation is for people who move from one relationship to another. Generally, when you're in a relationship, there's a lot of CD-sharing that goes on, but as CDs are physical items, they could easily be returned if the relationship were to end, the result being that only one of the two parties would end up with the CD. iPods and the like throw this up in the air.
It's certainly perceivable that during a relationship, each party uploads a bunch of the other's choons to their iPod, thus duplicating the music. As far as I'm aware, this is entirely legal. (Andy?) If the relationship turns sour, is each party obliged to remove all of their ex's tracks from said iPod? Are there people out there who move from relationship to relationship filling up the 10,000 tracks at their disposal as they go? I was just wondering.
One annoying thing about the 1.0 upgrade is that for some reason, two spaces are deemed to be a user error and one is deleted. This is annoying, as I actively put two spaces after full stops. Rob - anything you can do about this?
