Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-7-2018: Richard 3rd, AGAIN!

6th July, 2018.

Yep, it’s a Friday.

Yep: it’s ALSO a day off.

Yep: I’ve manage to tape Humans: and have it ripping as we speak.

~≈§≈~

Moving on, and keeping an extremely straight face?

I’m no legal expert: I’d defer to Old Peculiar regular, and recovering lawyer, Debbi Mack: who understands phrases like pro bono* and tort.

But I’ve had half an eye on the news that the EU parliament is to revise EU copyright law: in ways that seriously affect the way the internet works.

If I’ve understood things correctly?   The two contentious parts of the regulations would means restricting what a person could link to: link or embed.

It would make my position as a blogger, very difficult, to give you an example.   Again, if I’ve got it right, it would make the movie and tv reviews I write, difficult, as I couldn’t find a trailer or scene on line, that I could embed into a post.

That’s something I’d rather not go through, frankly.

The relevant decision of the EU parliament, yesterday?   Was simply to delay things until September.

All I can hope?   Is that the law is not passed.

I’d rather have a free hand in what I show you.

“A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

King Richard, Act V, scene iv, Richard iii, by William Shakespeare.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Tort, I couldn’t tell you.   Pro bono — if I’ve understood things correctly — means that a lawyer, banker, or other such specialist, provides his/her services for free: because the case you’ve presented him is for the public good.   It challenges a badly made law, it affects a lot of people who have no other legal defence, it concern a medical condition that affects a large number of people, what have you.

†        Morning, Mr Sº!   Thanks for looking in!

‡        I’ve got it taped, Olgaº.   Now all I need to do is catch I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue … !

^        Oh, I can watch it, online quite happily, Trevorº.   But I can’t stream it from the browser on my Mac, to my AppleTV.   And there’s no All Four app for the AppleTV: ITV, the BBC and Channel Five all do one.   I could stream it from a recent model iOS device, to the AppleTV … if my iPod counted as recent …

ª        Did I get Pro Bono right, there, Debbiº?   He says … !   And, yes: that usually finishes quick!   The last one, I got a bit different: I asked them what version of Windows I had on my Mac … … … … … … … … … … … … … !   I’ll keep my eye open for the post!   :D   (Rubber bands and duct tape?   Come back Rube Goldberg, Heath Robinson’s getting ahead of you … )

º        Thanks for looking in, everyone!
