Hello there,
Simon is very much away from his computer this weekend. However, he has left me, a kind of robot facsimile, to tell you about Digital Rights Ireland’s drive to raise some funds to do good things.
Our suggested subscription rate is €10 per month. That is the cost of 2 pints. If we get 100 members willing to pledge that much to us, we will have a solid income base to work from.
We also have a concession membership of €5 a month. We aren’t going to be checking IDs or anything like that – if you don’t think you can afford to forgo both pints every month, then we’ll happily spare you the effort of drinking one of them.
Honestly, this is a good idea. And the pints you’ll be foregoing are probably the ones at the end of the night that make you get sick. You’ll be doing yourself a favour by using the cash for this instead.
Here’s the link to the Bung-Them-Cash page.
And they’ll have a standing order form you can print out soon too if you don’t know anything about PayPal or don’t have a Laser or Credit Card or just usually rely on Barry the Pub to look after your wages for you on tick, so I’ll get Simon to nag you about it then too. When he gets back.
Which may be quite some time.

Simon,
Seem to have lost your email. Could you let me know exactly what section of the copying to ipod or other time / format shifting for personal use is likley to break. I’m writing a humorous piece for a tinity publication, and I’d to get my facts right. From what I can make out it’s not specifically covered under section 140 of the 2000 act.
Ta!
Gareth,
I’ve sent you an email on this. I hope it arrives safely. If not, I’ll send it to your technolotics address.
