No Comments on Sensible UK Copyright Laws – Sign the Petition

Did you know that if you rip a CD to MP3 files and then copy those onto your Ipod or other MP3 player, then you are breaking the law?
There’s a Petition to the Pirme Minister to look at more sensible copyright laws.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to create a new exception to copyright law that gives individuals the right to create a private copy of copyrighted materials for their own personal use, including back-ups, archiving and shifting format.
You can sign the petition here.

Changing Sound Devices

I have several sound devices on my Home PC. I use them for different things, and it’s a real pain switching the audio device in Windows XP. I understand that it’s not really a common thing, but since I do it often it’s a real pain. That’s why I love STADS! Stads is the System Tray Audio Device Switcher. Just a click in my system tray and I can pick which audio advice I want. Makes my life so much easier!
