But........."Former" Eagles member Don Henley?????

One of those typical journalistic goof-ups. Some journalists think the band hasn't been together since 1980, lol.

Having just recently watched videos of the release into the wild of the eagles I invested so much time watching from the nest to the wildlife center I really enjoyed this video, although having learned a lot on the subject my first response to them handling the adult eagle was that they were not properly holding it's head!

But at least they knew some Don Henley trivia!

I enjoyed that, thanks Koala!

Don Henley: Internet theft is a job-killer, too

Very interesting article. Must go check out the US law-making process... I get the feeling a lot more bills are introduced and discarded over there!

Thanks for the link, Koala.

Just got around to reading Henley's op-ed from USA Today - very interesting indeed. He certainly is a formidable rhetorician.

For those who are interested in hearing both sides of the debate, here are some other viewpoints:

Partial responses from the EFF, whom Henley includes in his criticism: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/n...m_campaign=rss (I find the first response much better than Templeton's, which suffers from the fatal flaw of cheesy incorporation of Eagles titles - I was cringing as I read it).

A couple other responses:

Thanks for the links, Nancy. I found this particularly interesting in the last link:

"What if only one page contains infringing material and the rest is perfectly legal?"

I wonder if this means that if somebody makes a comment on an article and posts a link in their comment, that this would be infringing material?

New Zealand has just introduced new laws (effective today!) around this area. It's been controversial, to say the least.
