Rick Falkvinge writes that on October 10th a committee within the European Parliament will vote on future copyright law in Europe. Former MEP (2009-2014), Christian Engström, provided a description of how to provide feedback to the European Parliament. Polite, clear, to the point feedback from EU citizens and residents would be most useful.
In particular, there are two really bad proposals and three really good proposals that warrant special attention, mixed in and buried in all the words. The good propoals are the mandatory freedom of panorama, the freedom to remix, and the freedom for anybody to datamine. The two bad proposals, quite dreadful actually, are to require sites to carry out mandatory upload filtering and a link tax which makes it impossible to link to articles in the legacy media.

Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

Apparently that last hurricane 'redeveloped' it into a parking lot. Fixer properties available today at low low prices... well, as soon as they can find the paperwork that got washed away...
Also there was a non-libertarian seasteading project on I2P. Someone on IRC there might be able to tell you more.
