Campaigners from the Jubilee Debt Campaign get their zombie on in support for Irish network Debt Justice Action outside the Irish Embassy in Grosvenor Place this morning – ahead of tomorrow’s €1.25 billion payment to unsecured Anglo bondholders.
Jubilee Debt Campaign is arguing for a ‘jubilee-style’ debt cancellation for Europe. Jubilee’s Nick Dearden sez:
“It is totally unjust to make Ireland’s people – especially the
poorest in that country – pay for the crimes of speculators and the banking elite.
A year ago George Osborne called Ireland a ‘friend in need’. We call on the British government to assure Ireland that they would not take punitive measures if the government halted payment on these unjust debts, and that the UK would assist in a fair write-down of
Ireland’s debt.”

In December of 2011, just weeks before the takedown, Digital Music News reported on something new that the creators of #Megaupload were about to unroll. Something that would rock the music industry to its core.
I present to you… MegaBox
MegaBox was going to be an alternative music store that was entirely cloud-based and offered artists a better money-making opportunity than they would get with any record label.
“UMG knows that we are going to compete with them via our own music venture called Megabox.com, a site that will soon allow artists to sell their creations directly to consumers while allowing artists to keep 90 percent of earnings,” MegaUpload founder Kim ‘Dotcom’ Schmitz told Torrentfreak
Not only did they plan on allowing artists to keep 90% of their earnings on songs that they sold, they wanted to pay them for songs they let users download for free.
“We have a solution called the Megakey that will allow artists to earn income from users who download music for free,” Dotcom outlined. “Yes that’s right, we will pay artists even for free downloads. The Megakey business model has been tested with over a million users and it works.”
Oh.

Fine Gael TD for Dublin Mid West, Derek Keating (left) pictured with re-instated patient advocate Louise Bayliss literally moments ago outside Leinster House.
Louise was let go from her contract with the Irish Advocacy Network after raising concerns about the closure of a psychiatric unit in St Brendan’s Hospital in Grangegorman, Dublin, over Christmas – thereby placing the female patients in a locked ward. Deputy Keating called publicly for her re-instatement.

Singer Josh Williams continues to belt out a foot-tappin’ rendition of ‘Mordecai’ at the Doyle Lawson Bluegrass Festival in North Carolina last summer, even after a tiny fan joins him at the mike (at around the 1.30 mark).
