Hello, The BBC have done it again, giving undue coverage to one side of a debate: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3501964.stm I think someone with an @ffii or @affs or @ukcdr e-mail address ought to write a strongly worded letter to the BBC, asking that they allow the other side to have it's say. I'm thinking it should mention in passing Sklyarov, the actions of the RIAA and SCO and the slew of legislation going through related to digital rights, showing them that there is a pattern and that thus far, with the exception of a few Bill Thompson entries, they've only really presented the pro-industry point of view. It's extremely bad journalism to only present the views of one side. I would send such an e-mail myself, offering to write the article myself, but I don't think I'd have much impact, as they'd have no reason to take me for any more than a random angry young man. But If someone with an e-mail address that gave them a definite association with an organisation "on the other side" e-mailed them, maybe it might work? I know we've complained to the BBC before, but perhaps if we offer an article presenting our side, rather than simple complaints, we might get somewhere? Regards, Tom
