The Irish Music Rights Organisation, and organisations like it around the world, administers licences for performing rights. Developed from copyright theory, performing rights act as a justification for prescriptive control, making it legitimate for one person to prescribe the actions of another unless a fee is paid.

Have you ever thought about the role of persuasion and coercion in the politics of copyright and performing rights? read full story / add a comment

One person in five speaks the Irish language on a daily basis according to new statistics released from the Irish Central Statistics Office. Three quarters of the speakers are at school. 66.6% of the people surveyed said they had the ability to speak Irish but rarely spoke the language. They said that if they spoke it they would only use it on a weekly basis. Across the country 1.57 million can speak Irish fluently. In 1996 1.43 million spoke the language and although the figures for 2003 seem to be positive they have to be regarded within the context that few people actually answered this question in the survey. The largest number of speakers over the age of three in the country are in Galway. In Galway city the proportion of speakers has increased to 50.5%. read full story / add a comment

It is extraordinary that some people who post here, and probably pride themselves on their "progressive" politics, can think the kidnap and imprisonment of totally innocent people is a good idea, as long as it's carried out by the FARC ghouls. Have these people ever devoted even a moment's thought to the despicable crime against humanity that kidnapping represnets ? They should read this report from the BBC: read full story / add a comment

It will probably not surprise many people, but George Bush treated Senegal and its people with utter contempt during his recent to that country —700 US security personnel protected the paranoid president; all trees along his route had to be cut down; state exams were postponed; roads, businesses and hospitals were shut for the duration. read full story / add a comment
