The Supreme Court of Canada had the last word on the Tariff 22 case today: Canadian ISPs who are merely providing the internet connection to users do not owe any royalties to composers and performers for music downloaded. Read the decision here and the news here and here.
BTW, congrats and have fun Seek! Will miss you this side of the ocean!
J’ai nettement négligé mon blog dernièrement. Principalement parce que j’étais sur le retour d’Inde et j’avais plein de choses-en-retard à faire. Ensuite, il y a eu la recherche d’emploi, puis l’emploi. Mais l’emploi est pas celui auquel je m’attendais…
Alors je m’envole pour Genève vendredi. Je retourne à l’UIT comme juriste.
J’espère pouvoir reprendre le collier bientôt.

Ever wonder what progress of science lies behind those brownish badly cut recycle piece of half-a-decent-ring cardboard that coffeee shops use as cup holder for your very warm coffee? Well, I took a look at the ones used by Second Cup (patent of 1995) and Starbucks (patent of 1993). One emphasizes on the value of using an interlocking sheet of pressed paper with « multiple nubbins and depressions » while the other focuses on its environmental friendliness as opposed to the « traditional » materials used such as polystyrene. Both press on the insulation value of the holder. Who knew that so much thought was put into creating the claims piece of recycle paper! And I thought that it was just a step up from using a napkin to hold your hot cup of coffee!
