Minister for Copyright Infringement
Ubuntu’s Jeff Waugh was due to come visit us at Wolves LUG on Saturday night. Unfortunately, Jeff’s travel plans meant he had to withdraw at the last minute. Nonetheless, a couple of interesting things came up.
In discussions about who should speak at LugRadio Live 2006, Brazil’s Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil, was mentioned. Aq jokingly named him Brazil’s Minister of Copyright Infringement when Gil was praised for building the right to use sampled music into his country’s copyright legislation.
The Guardian has an interview with Gilberto Gil.
Also, we set the date for the LugRadio recording, in preparation for Season 3 Episode 1’s release on Hallowe’en.
