Correct me with I'm wrong - but I think all DMCA notices have to be electronically signed by a human under penalty of perjury. Whilst I think only one or two people have been convi…

I think the effect is more significant at Oxbridge though. At Oxbridge you have "supervisions" or "tutorials" as an undergrad. These consist of a 1-on-1 lesson with a fellow or gra…

DA notices aren't legally enforceable though. Most newspapers comply voluntarily. They're overseen by a committee of both government representatives and those from the press and ne…

I like the no comment scores, orange dot idea (which has made a comeback). I hope it leads to less of the mob voting mentality which seems to take hold every so often in some of th…
