To what extent do you think the media influences the general public’s judgement about an individual’s innocence or guilt in cases like this and is this influence (one way or the other) intentional?

Show more »The ability to share albums and songs with friends, make recommendations and debate the worth of a group or artist has long been one of the intrinsic pleasures associated with listening to popular music. In the 80s, home taping was predicted to “kill” music, yet the music industry survived (and thrived because of) the humble cassette. Isn’t digital file sharing just the modern day equivalent of this age old practice? Show less »

We tend to look forward rather than backwards, so we don’t tend to talk about that too much. There’s a massive difference between giving a C90 (cassette) to a mate and posting a perfect digital file on the internet for literally millions to take. This does reflect how little people realise what copyright infringement and piracy is all about. People have used the ‘Home Taping’ slogan to undermine very illegitimate arguments as to why file-sharing’s bad for the music industry. Show less »

Surely the certificate system is intended to restrict children from having access to adult games, why are games such as Manhunt 2 banned if it they would only be availble to adults?

I'm not familiar with the certificate system you refer to, but it sounds like some sort of authorization that has to be obtained in order to buy or access specific games. That sounds better than outright banning to me. Another useful but not fail-proof tool. Show less »
