Power to the people!

The Premier League is suing YouTube under copyright legislation - presumably for allowing clips of its matches to be shown on their site. I sincerely hope they lose. The internet is one of the best and most important things to have happened in my lifetime, particularly in regard to the way it has released us from the shackles of organised commerce. We now have access to information on all sorts of things which previously would have been unavailable to us, or only available for a fee. It's understandable that those financially affected by this will not give up without a fight, but in my view it would be a tragedy if the basic freedom of the net were to be in any way restricted at the behest of blinkered commercial luddites.
