Hmmm …
I’ve got the radio on, at the moment: Radio 4’s Today programme, is my default early morning listening.
Radio isn’t as distracting a TV, I think.
They’ve just announced an interesting bit of news: at least, interesting to a technology watcher like me.
It seems that Google and Bing have signed up to a voluntary code of practise: that means they will make sure links to illegal content — usually to sites like Pirate Bay or Demonoid — that host pirated content.
I’m thinking it’s a small step.
But possibly one that’s circumventable.
After all, we can always uses something like Tor. The web browser always you to — in theory — get around such restrictions: by routing you around the ’Net so that you appear to come from another country.
You can also subvert it — possibly — by using a search engine that hasn’t signed up to the code.
There’s a few of them …
