...strangle music piracy; some 20 billion files were downloaded illegally in 2006. The music business has called on Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which host that traffic, to do more to choke it off, and an agreement was reached in France late last year requiring ISPs to stop large-scale copyright infringers. But to shake off its blues, the record business must itself continue to break old habits. Saying yes to rehab is a start, but returning to health is going to take a sustained dose of discipline and imagination...
...Aguilera: Nobody thinks that the Harvard administration is going to end the war. It has to be a collective source of action all across the nation, a huge mobilization of students, raising our voices, coming together, and doing something on a broader scale.

"We've achieved in three days what we were hoping to achieve in three months." Tsundue had been among the first batch of 101 marchers held on Thursday by Indian authorities. Organizers were also hoping the protests within Tibet and China would gather steam. "Much as we are sad for our brothers and sisters in Tibet, we want...
...future opposition it encounters will likely depend on where it next wants to locate the center. As for the roads, any new plan will probably include closing the A344. But little will be done to the worse-offending A303; the government says it will consider only "small scale measures" to improve its traffic flows. Which means tranquility at prehistoric Stonehenge will also continue to be a relic of the past...
