  1. Doctor Who seems to be as useless as ever: crap sets, terrible script and clunkingly obvious tokenism.
  2. @willsmithuk Congratulations, hope the ante natal class paid off.
  3. @grabcoque It seems to be working. She's gained 300g.
  4. @grabcoque I know, but they make good breastfeeding reading. Non-taxing.
  5. If I were in a sexy vampire's bedroom, I would not be discussing his CD collection. Ordered the other 3 books though.
  6. Finished Twilight in a day. Had I been reading my law books, would be qualified by now.
  7. @LouiseBagshawe Theft is depriving someone of something that they ALREADY HAVE such that they no longer have it. Not licence circumvention.
  8. @LouiseBagshawe Have you read Death of the Author by Roland Barthes? I think you should. You have a warped notion of the Romantic Author.
  9. @LouiseBagshawe Bad example, Louise: recipes cannot be covered by copyright.
  10. @grabcocque Ironic then that Louise's Fallacy of Commoditised Atomic Authorial Essentialism would condemn her own books to legal purgatory.
  11. @LouiseBagshawe You stand on the shoulders of giants. It is hubris to assume unique snowflake status. Works are grown in culture's soil.
  12. @LouiseBagshawe Your statements have no basis in law. Let me repeat: your statements have NO BASIS IN LAW. You are making things up.
  13. @LouiseBagshawe Have a read of this: it may disabuse you of some confused notions http://bit.ly/UYslr
  14. @LouiseBagshawe Don't confuse the disruption of a licencing model with commonlaw theft. The lawlords made this clear in the 18th century.
  15. @LouiseBagshawe To steal is to deprive someone permanently of something. When I share a story, I do not deprive anyone of it.
  16. @LouiseBagshawe You are confusing the object that encapsulates an idea with the idea itself. You can steal a book. You cannot steal a story.
  17. @LouiseBagshawe No lawyer agrees with you. Copyright gives you no right to "own" a copy of a work. It gives you a licence to use it.
  18. @LouiseBagshawe Under your definition, your books "steal" the alphabet, vocab, grammar, plotlines, none of which are your "property"
  19. @LouiseBagshawe Be accurate: it's a licence breach, not theft. Please stop begging the question with a straw man. What is being "stolen"?
  20. @LouiseBagshawe The solution to a lack of buyers is cleverer sellers, not your State Mandated Communism. You don't trust the market?
