My, it’s been a busy few weeks, so I will break my own rule of blogging (don’t apologise for not blogging), and apologise for being relatively quiet. As is always the case, when there’s lots to write about, you have less time to write it (and this is note to myself to blog about the two films I saw recently). There are several new videos on YouTube, including a video I recorded this morning of Ming launching our crime campaign (the website for which has been another recent busying task).

A couple of month’s ago I mentioned the Number 10 petitions, and in particular recommended a petition calling for individuals to have the right to copy material they own for their own personal use, for example by ripping CDs to MP3 format so you can listen on an iPod.
The findings of this review [into intellectual property] have now been published and recommend the introduction of a private copying exception for the purposes of format shifting. This would allow individuals to copy music which they have legally bought on compact disc onto an MP3 player without infringing copyright.
Steve Webb, the Lib Dem MP for Northavon, has a track record of being down with new-fangled interweb technologies, which led to him winning the Hansard Society’s E-Democracy Award a couple of years ago. It should be little surprise then that he has become the latest of the party’s MPs to take up blogging, with his puntastic new site The Webb log. Welcome to the blogosphere.
Perhaps as a result of various New Year’s resolution, Steve takes the total number of active blog on Lib Dem Blogs to 111;, if we were mentioning cricket, which we’re not, it would be time for a superstitious hop of some sort.
