Why I Fear What Labour Will Do to the Education System Sun Jul 28, 2024 11:00 | Stephen Curran
We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

Mick calls for an Irish Bloggers Union or something to protect Bloggers:

Damien has been asking for an Irish EFF:

as has Bernie:

Freestater agrees too:

Dick is also giving backing to something to protect us bloggers and maybe
protect everyone on broader digital issues:

More on the proposed EFF Ireland
The question of whether we should set up a national version of the Electronic Frontier Foundation is attracting a good deal of comment from different parties across the Irish corner of the Net today (see Damien Mulley, Dick O'Brien and Boards.ie). This is a sign of healthy interest in the issue, which is encouraging to see.
The blogger-protection angle in this is being covered pretty well over in the Back Seat Drivers thread. But I'd like to add a comment on the discussion over at Boards, which has been tackling the wider concerns which the EFF could be expected to cover (I'm not, alas, going to register at Boards). In particular, part of what Antoin posted:

I’ve been around this track a few times, and it is extremely difficult to put something coherent and self-sustaining together. A lot of problems seem to arise around funding, direction and management.
Rather than trying to build a completely new organization from scratch, I think we should move forward by supporting the existing organizations who are doing good work in this area.
For example....

Time for more illegal copying
EVERY TIME I MOVE, I copy things as back-up and today the process continues. As Adrian Weckler reminds me, when I copy my CDs onto minidisc, my iPod and onto my computer, I violate Irish copyright law. Dick Doyle, the Irish Recorded Music Association's (Irma) "reiterated Irma's view that copying music from CDs onto iPods and computers remained illegal in Ireland under copyright law. He said that while tracks downloaded from iTunes website contained a licence to copy the song, no such provision existed in Irish law for music copied directly from CDs".

so everyone using an ipod is more than likely doing it illegally and should be arrested walking down the street
and sales of ipods should plummet!! but they will probably change the law before that happens - in case ipod shops profits are affected
