“Never mention winning. You can lose when you outscore somebody in the game. You can win when you’re outscored… Truly believe things will work out as they should, providing we do what we should… The result will not be what you want them to be, but what they should be.”

A (new) idea for music sharing in Canada

03/25/09

Last year, SAC (Song Association of Canada), developed a plan to legalize music sharing in Canada, in which involves a small monthly fee attached to your ISP current charges. People complained that it’s just another tax, and Canadian recording industry fought saying it’s violating the copyright law.

Now, they are taking a different approach on making it optional..

“The SAC has renewed its bid to legalize peer-to-peer file sharing in return for a levy on Internet service. The SAC is now calling for the plan to be voluntary, with both consumers and creators having the right to opt-out. ACTRA, the leading performer group in Canada, now says it is also supportive of a legalized approach with the prospect of extending the plan to video sharing.”

I approve of this proposal!

Was just browsing around, and I stumbled across a great article in which covers converting a PSD to XHTML/CSS. I remember first starting out web designing, and how much of a pain it was, and learning how to do it. Wish I had this resource back then.
