Wednesday is about to end. You’ve wasted it, pretty much. Fool.
@TheFailedProjek I couldn’t possibly comment.
@TheFailedProjek No, just more tweets.

@robcorr Ah yes, I should have read @JustinianNews’ comments more carefully before I spoke. I am an arsehat.
@robcorr WikiLeaks prone to exaggeration? No, that can’t be right.
@robcorr I see. There could hypothetically be limits, such as “information derived from or prepared for the purposes of” some thing.
@robcorr So, hypothetically, “publication or otherwise, of any information … that reveals, implies, suggests or alleges” would seem broad.
@robcorr I have no idea what you’re talking about. I am just curious about a hypothetical situation. Obviously.
@TheFailedProjek “Invested”, you mean.
Excellent, @abc730 @drunkenmadman, that’s so sweet it tastes like sugar.

THAT’S WHAT ‘MICROSCOPIC’ FUCKING MEANS FOR FUCK’S SAKE
(@abc730, DRIVING ME MENTAL)
@robcorr If I said, hypothetically, “That global leaking place has some interesting information.” This is presumably uncharted territory.
@robcorr Indeed, but I’m thinking the other way around. A verbal description which is sufficient to allow material to be found.
@TheFailedProjek It usually does, though. The trick is turning the ideas into an actual script. Or at least a script outline and treatment.
RT @TheFailedProjek: Someone let the crazies out tonight. [So, like every other night then.]

@jdub This is my point. I wonder why people are saying this so much today. It’s all very curious.
@indigoid I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m just curious about a hypothetical legal issue. Obviously.

Here’s a curious legal question. Is there a legal distinction between the URL wikileaks.org and saying “Have a look at WikiLeaks”?
@elronxenu @swearyanthony Indeed. I’m not trying to visualise “half an arsehole”, but thinking I should probably stop.
@shadowcyclist … but that’s about how well they’re cutting their deals, not about infringement. It’s film and TV’s turn to grow the fuck up.
@shadowcyclist Exactly. The music industry now has another problem: licensing to streaming services so cheaply the artists get bugger all…
swearyanthony Gotta say as well as Pt Arthur and East Timor, I now rate Howard for his determined effort to keep Brandis, SC (Shitcunt) from the ministry
@shadowcyclist Why thank you. That PwC report is being cited across the “copyright industries” as gospel today too. Pure propaganda.

@JohnBirmingham I’m not sure that it does. Nevertheless I’ll try to make it.
@GreenJ Swimming and shooting combined? So you couldn’t call that sport the dryathlon.
I don’t see why Jetstar thought the words “poorly chosen”. You need fuckin’ drugs to put up with the passengers that airline attracts.

Wondering whether to change my plan for tomorrow afternoon to catch up with @JohnBirmingham at the @CopyrightAgency event.
Now a press release from @CopyrightAgency citing that very same PwC report. Everybody got the hymn sheet then. copyright.com.au/assets/documen… (PDF)
I am craving a curry. I suspect I will regret the next decision I am about to make.
My thoughts on the government’s copyright discussion paper, written Monday based on the copy leaked to @crikey_news. zdnet.com/beware-the-spi…
@juhasaarinen I started looking at the report the other day. zdnet.com/beware-the-spi… It’s just a matter of drilling down into the numbers.
Still, you’d think that the government would at least TRY to sort out some sort of plausible deniability. Don’t they watch “House of Cards”?
I guess the Foxtel thing answers @SenatorLudlam’s question about @TurnbullMalcolm though, so that’s good. scott-ludlam.greensmps.org.au/content/media-…
benpobjie Hey I wrote this about sexual scholar Bernard Gaynor benpobjie.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/bernar…
So the government and Foxtel issue press releases about copyright on the same day citing the same PwC report. How coincidence.
