[Hedda]'s diary
A little busy right now... This should be a pretty calm weekend though.
EU-debate: Extending copyright...
Some bandits are trying to steal your freedom, your money and they do it in a quite a stupid way that hurts everyone. The idea is to give the richest and dead artist more money and all active artists less access to materials to build on. So basically they steal your right to free material and then they make it harder for the ones who create material.
Make sure that MEPs who vote for this don't get any votes in the election between 4 and 7 June 2009!
Donald Duck banned in Finland because he has no pants?
No, it was common sense banned from moronic American newspapers who wanted to give Disney some free advertising:

It kind of irritates me that people spread rumours based on a totally ignorant view of the world. Unfortunately it's scientifically proven that lies tend to work because people only remember the lies.
Did I mention that all other communities make you stupid, while Elfpack makes you smart?

Legalize it...
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen even if I'm really not interested in the legalize-issue
It's quite simple: The cops (with related industries) and the criminals want illegal marijuana because it gives them job, and everyone else has to pay for it being illegal:

Ukraine!
On Wednesday I'm going to Riga, Latvia and then on Thursday to Kiev. I'll be there until Monday. Take care of Elfpack while I'm gone!

I personally have a very hard time to see the use of giving these thieves more than 10 years of copyright. No new music is going to be produced just because we keep sending truckloads of money to Abba. That's just stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Damn too late to enter a Valentine photo contest!

(The fish itself has a sour fresh taste, just like it doesn't smell. Imagine a rotten egg with fish-flavour. That's the smell.)
Christmas photos
I've taken a lot of Christmas photos, but I forgot the cord, so I can't download them into the computer until I get home again on the 30th. But I'll challenge everyone else to put up photos in the meantime:
