| OK, everyone uses kazaa, gnutella and the like, but how much do you know about digital rights management? Plans are underway to restrict access to digital media, under the banner of enforcing copyright.
These new technologies will be brought in, regardless of what we do or think, as big business has heavily infiltrated government policy making, leaving them singing from the same hymn sheet. End to end DRM solutions from content production, delivery to consumption will affect everything we know in the digital age. |

So you lucky, lucky people, all you have to do is go into Preferences and select the new theme or wait until we delete the old theme which should be within the week. At this point you should automatically get set to the new theme. |
