This video is by Lawrence Lessig who is trying to give an better insight on how ridiculous regulations on copyrighted materials are. This topic is quite striking cause it is almost safe to assume that at least 95% of Internet users are breaking these copyright laws. As an example he points out that in the time of the first airplanes the law was more or less the same and airplanes where seen as tress passers when flying over someones property. I remember of seeing a same type of discussion on the engadget show about the resistance of radio in the beginning from the music industry.

Ever since I can remember I have been impressed by the drawings of Peter van Straaten(Peter from the streets). His work is on depressing matters but with a melodramatic tone.

I’ve always been a fan of Southpark. When it first aired it was something like never before. The way it’s drawn, the topics like always killing Kenny, beefcakes, Crab people, just total awesomeness. As with most things I kind of lost track of it in the last 4~5 years.
But now I found a new great way to watch the episodes via: xepisodes.com. Here you can watch all the episodes online for free and without any annoying commercials. They are even on track till the latest releases made. If you want a good impression about the show just watch this one it’s about why the Japanese kill all the dolphins and whales.

I listen quite some radio, at least when I’m in the Netherlands. In China it is understandable you don’t listen to the radio that much but due to this you will miss all the new and interesting music. So just like last year it lifts me up when I get in my car and turn on the radio and that you will hear good, old and new ,music. This somehow creates an extra bond with the tracks that are ‘hot’ at that moment. Last year it was ‘day and night‘ by Kid cudi. This year I have it with this track from ,a Dutch artist, Caro Emerald. Hope you like it.
