UK's have one hell of a paedophile-discovering time now, isn't it?

Is there something about getting into power or joining the BBC that suddenly turns you paedophilic?

I suspect all these political paedophiles are coming to light now because it's the best time for it. The Conservatives have managed to get in (against all expectations) with another majority, however slim, so it makes sense to let it start to pour out now rather than having everything blow up in their faces when they don't want it to. Nearly all of the paedophiles coming to light are dead Tory grandees, so it would have been difficult if this came out during the election campaign.

A good example of how this is being orchestrated by the Conservatives and the Tory press can be seen in the fact that this Ted Heath story has been released to the public just days after Ken Clarke (Tory grandee) has been targeted with a second allegation. A good time to bury bad news. The story about the sitting Labour paedophile also came out around the same time as the Leon Brittan allegations a week or two ago.

The current Tory regime has been very god at "kitchen sinking", has it not?

I think a big part of it is that the BBC seemingly had some kind of paedophile ring operating within it, and the BBC had a damn good level of control on certain forms of media back in the 70's and 80's. That gives you a good means of keeping things quiet, and knowing things about those in power they want kept quiet gives you leverage. It looks like a rotten to the core corrupt club to me, frankly.

The most powerful people at the BBC are also part of the UK-wide elite. We're seeing just how corrupt that elite was; cover-ups and all sorts were totally endemic. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that.

Davey C is banning iTunes because you can rip CDs using it
Might as well just ban computers at this point, seems to be where they want things to go.

... aren't they like a half a decade and change too late to be banning CD ripping? Last I checked most folks have just transitioned to using flash drives or uploads or whatev'.

Though I guess that's more burning than ripping. Still, pretty sure CD sales in general are kinda' going kaput due to online stuff...

E: Though looking at the article, it seems to be format shifting in general, which iTunes does as well.

What would be amazing would be if apple said blanket to every artist they work with: "Stop selling in the UK or lose iTunes support everywhere." I'd go out and buy the cheapest apple product I could find if they did that. Once.

Because you are a fan of corporations using economic coercion to get a political agenda enacted if it's causes you agree with?

I want corporations to declare themselves legal nations within my lifetime. I will live in google, and invade apple.

Yep. And I don't know about you, but I don't think any music retailers ever gave me express permission to shift their FLAC files to analogue sound waves. Better come pick me up GCHQ.

A partisan pun? There's a poem in German that is similar:

Parmesan und Partisan
Wo sind sie geblieben
Parmesan und Partisan
Alles wird zerrieben

(Parmesan and partisan
Where are they now
Parmesan and partisan
Everything is being ground up)
